WorkWorkThe 'Gen-Z Stare' Is Tormenting Business Owners. Here's How to Turn It Into Positive Change - Inc (No paywall) Gen-Zs workplace habits somehow keep returning to the spotlight - from being the toolbelt generation to quiet thriving to oversharing personal information. But the latest aspect of Gen-Z behavior that's captured everyone's attention might qualify as the strangest and, to some people, one of the more challenging, traits some young workers exhibit. We're talking about the deadpan, expressionless moments in conversation that have been labelled the Gen-Z stare.

Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he'd blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours. Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a feat. Truax said he was using Opal, an app that makes your smartphone a little more like a so-called dumbphone, without requiring you to trade in your device altogether. He said that several of his friends swore by the app, and so he had begun using it, too. Opal is not new - its current iteration launched in 2022 - but I took this word of mouth as evidence, outside of the app-hype cycle, that it might actually work. I downloaded it without any particular optimism; I considered my phone addiction to be an incurable case.

WorkInside a Chaotic and Deadly Immigration Raid - Intelligencer (No paywall) Last Thursday, federal agents conducted one of the Trump administration's largest mass-deportation raids so far in Camarillo, California. Over several hours at the marijuana farm known as the Glass House, agents detained more than 200 immigrants. As Border Patrol combed the farm, workers who picked its crops went into hiding in lockers and bushes. Jaime Alanis Garcia, of Mexico, fell from a rooftop and subsequently died of his injuries.

WorkWorkWorkWorkWhy political pressure on central banks is so toxic for investors - WSJ (No paywall) Reports that President Trump was again pondering firing Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell drove longer-term Treasury yields higher and the dollar lower. The markets see the prospect of higher inflation if a new Fed regime were to cut rates in line with Trump's wishes. Some analysts say there would be global consequences, because Treasurys and the dollar underpin financial markets worldwide.

WorkWorkWorkWorkA key governing partner of Netanyahu is quitting, leaving him with minority in Israeli parliament A key governing partner of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says it is quitting the government, leaving him with a minority in parliament. The Shas ultra-Orthodox party said Wednesday it was leaving over disagreements surrounding a proposed law meant to grant wide military draft exemptions to its constituents. A second ultra-Orthodox party quit earlier this week over the same issue. Shas said it wouldn't work to undermine the coalition once outside it and could vote with it on some laws. It also wouldn't support its collapse. The political turmoil comes as Israel and Hamas are negotiating terms for a ceasefire for the war in Gaza.

WorkWorkWorkWork WorkWorkWorkThe Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food - The Atlantic (No paywall) Five months into its unprecedented dismantling of foreign-aid programs, the Trump administration has given the order to incinerate food instead of sending it to people abroad who need it. Nearly 500 metric tons of emergency foodenough to feed about 1.5 million children for a weekare set to expire tomorrow, according to current and former government employees with direct knowledge of the rations. Within weeks, two of those sources told me, the food, meant for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan, will be ash. (The sources I spoke with for this story requested anonymity for fear of professional repercussions.)
