WorkThe American dollar store has fallen on hard times
  \"I finally brought up the issue in February as I was checking out at Dollar Tree. When I asked about the lack of denture tablets, the cashier dropped her voice and added that she noticed that toothpaste also wasn\'t on the shelves, but didn\'t offer too much else.\" Work
WorkBiden's renewed embrace of Israel threatens to deepen Democratic divide
 Progressives and protesters had come a long way in forcing Biden to question his most deeply held convictions and warn Netanyahu that enough is enough. The events of Saturday night shook the kaleidoscope yet again and may give the US president a different political and electoral calculus, an excuse to return to his default position. Yet people in Gaza are still dying, and many would-be Biden supporters are still angry about it. WorkHow Iran's attack on Israel was stopped
 However, the attack was also expensive for Iran, with ballistic missiles generally costing upwards of £80,000. The US estimates Tehran had about 3,000, the largest arsenal in the Middle East.

WorkWorkWorkHow Spotify AI plans to know what's going on inside your head, and find the right track for it
 Depending on the individual, AI may have equal chances of becoming either a utopian or dystopian solution within the 100-million track universe. Ratliff says most users should keep it more simple in their streaming music journeys. \"As long as you realize that the app will never know you in the way you want to be known, and as long as you know what you\'re looking for, or have some good prompts at the ready, you can find lots of great music on Spotify.\" WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkIsrael on high alert as it weighs response to Iranian attack
 It has led to soaring tensions in the region as Iran-backed groups as far away as Syria, Iraq and Yemen joined the fray.

WorkWorkChildcare in England failing and falling behind much of world, charity says
 “Working parents on universal credit are also eligible for support with childcare costs no matter how many hours they work, up to £1,015 per month for a single child and £1,739 for two children. England has some of the highest-quality early years provision in the world, with 96% of early years settings rated by Ofsted as good or outstanding as of August 2023 – up from 74% in 2012.” WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkLikely market reaction after Iran attacks Israel
 \"The key is whether Iran will consider this retaliation a measured and final response, unless Israel decides to escalate. In 2020, Iran considered its response to the U.S.’s killing of General Soleimani a measured and equitable response. If it stays tit-for-tat instead of escalating, then we will likely see a sigh of relief across equities even if oil prices, gold, the dollar and bonds all embed a risk premium to reflect the conflict.\" WorkWorkWorkI'm 67 Years Old, Have $2.5 Million in Cash, $500k in an IRA and Social Security.

 “Our sense is that events in the Middle East will add to the reasons for the Fed to adopt a more cautious approach to rate cuts, but they won’t prevent it from cutting altogether. We expect the first move in September. And assuming that the energy prices don’t spiral over the next month or so, we think that both the ECB and BOE will cut in June.” WorkDe-risking, seeking safety as Middle East tensions rise
 The strong dollar and recent spike up in U.S. bond yields, however, pose potentially significant problems for Asia.

 Mr. Sununu affirmed that he still believed that. But he said it shouldn’t surprise anyone that a Republican governor would support a Republican nominee, and suggested that Mr. Stephanopoulos was out of touch with public opinion if he thought concerns about democracy or felony convictions would sway voters.

WorkStrikes Upend Israel’s Belief About Iran’s Willingness to Fight It Directly
 Iran’s response ultimately caused little damage in Israel, in large part because Iran had telegraphed its intentions well in advance, giving Israel and its allies several days to prepare a strong defense.

 His new book, “Knife,” which will be published April 16, is a harrowing account of the attack and its aftermath, and a reminder of how gravely injured he was. It’s also a deeply moving love story that attributes much of his recovery and good spirits to the tender, brave support of his wife of three years, the poet and novelist Rachel Eliza Griffiths.
