21 Questions I Have for August 21st, 2021

 


I always have questions about something. Do you think you can answer one or two or more?

Let's see.


1. Does Ringo play on the drums at the very beginning of ‘All You Need Is Love’?

2. Why does the The Beatles song, ‘All You Need Is Love’ really makes you feel proud to be British and why does this song make you feel good on the inside?

3. What if you heard Prince Harry say, ‘Come, brother. Bring your family. You’re always welcome!’? How would just these few words make you feel? Do you think William should accept?

4. What if William decided to come to California to see his brother along with Kate and the kids? Would that dispel the ‘fact’ what the media has previously told you?

5. Do you think Princess Catherine is really happy for Meghan now that she’s given birth to a daughter or is she resentful?

6. Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. She is named in honour of Princess Diana. Do you think this was a good idea? Does Prince William have any children honouring his mother?

7. Was Leonardo DiCaprio linked to singer Rihanna? What happened with that?

8. What celebrities are officially instrument trained to fly a plane in both the day or evening?

9. Why did Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson break up? Do you think she is better matched with Colin Jost?

10. Wasn’t Ringo the ‘sickly’ Beatle? Who do you think ‘will go first’, Paul or Ringo?

11. You’re laying in your bed without any clothes on. You hear what sounds like an airplane coming. Do you get up quickly and look out the window or do you quickly throw something on and take cover (in the basement if you have one)?

12. Why did Alex Rodriguez and Jennifer Lopez break up? Do you think she is better matched with Ben Affleck?

13. Brad Pitt said George Clooney told him not to marry Angelina Jolie, and even begged him to not do it. Do you somehow hear Brad saying openly, “Oh, man! Why didn’t I listen?”

14. My cousin said she got COVID from a restaurant she ate at. How is that possible? Is it better and safer to learn how to cook and eat at home instead?

15. So now that Gov. Cuomo is out, will he be allowed to run against Donald Trump in 2024? Who do you think would win between those two?

16. If you read Matthew 6:25-34 daily, would this stop you from worrying about everything? Where is your faith? Why do you worry constantly?

17. Does reading Proverbs 21:9 bring you comfort that there is a solution? Are you going through this drama right now?

18. Why are celebrities bragging about not taking regular showers? Does this put your thoughts on them differently or it doesn’t matter how they smell, you’re ‘hooked on them’?

19. Is Psalm 46:1 even more important today than ever before? If the word worked back then, isn’t it possible for it to still work now?

20. When you see someone who has God in their lives and you see the good things happening for them which can never be denied, do you sit there angry and jealous of their success? Do you secretly or openly wish them failure?

Why Working At Walmart or Target Might Be A Great Thing For Your Future

 

Battle of the Benefits: Target and Walmart offer to pay 100% of college tuition for workers

Textbooks cost more than the MacBook... At least they double as a door jammer. College education in the US is notoriously pricey. To ease the burden, Walmart and Target are offering free college tuition to their workers.

  • Walmart is offering 100% of tuition and book fees to 1.5M associates at 10 universities. It's allocating $1B over five years to cover career development offerings.
  • Target is offering paid tuition and textbooks to its 340K full and part-time workers. They'll have access to 250 (mostly online) programs offered by about 40 colleges.

Two birds, one scone... It's no coincidence that two of America's largest retailers are upping their benefits now. The labor market is tight, so companies are sweetening the pot to attract workers. Covid fears, child care needs, and boosted unemployment benefits have prevented some employees from returning. Unemployment is still higher than pre-pandemic levels — but there are way more jobs than job seekers.

  • Record openings: Your local bistro wants its waiters back. Job openings surged above 10M for the first time ever in June, as employers scrambled to hire while the economy reopened.
  • Record wages: The average pay for US supermarket and restaurant workers topped $15/hour for the first time.
THE TAKEAWAY

The power dynamic has shifted... This year, you've probably seen more commercials targeted at DoorDash drivers than DoorDash customers. From Uber's signing bonuses, to CVS' wage raises, employers are catering more to workers' needs. Nearly 80% of US workers now earn at least $15/hour, up from 60% in 2014. And it's not just lower-wage jobs: some bankers and other white-collar workers are getting salary hikes — and even free Pelotons.
