It looks like planes aren’t the only thing flying for Boeing right now.

The aeronautical company has just announced they will be furloughing tens of thousands of employees amid the machinist strike, which involves more than 30,000 machinists in the Seattle area and Oregon.

The union recently voted overwhelmingly to not accept a new labor contract, and 96% voted to strike. The contract was said to have been denied as the raises would not keep up with inflation in the cost of living, as well as not restoring their pensions.

The workers are saying that it just isn’t going to fly.

You’ve got skills, ideas, and a knack for reaching an audience. You need an A-game affiliate marketing strategy to rake in those bucks. Ever wish for a magic wand that multiplies your revenue without breaking a sweat?

The digital landscape has evolved, but guess what hasn’t changed? The power of trust Yeah, that golden oldie called “referral marketing” is alive and thriving, just sporting a new alias; Affiliate Marketing. You know the power of a referral: an old-school word-of-mouth but turbocharged for the digital age. That same magic is called affiliate marketing today. Affiliate marketing is your golden ticket.

Use robust affiliate tracking software to see who’s the star player in your team and who’s just riding the bench. Let data be your compass. And don’t just set it and forget it; keep tweaking to maximize those results.

Lastly, don’t let a lousy website be your Achilles’ heel. Make sure it’s as slick as your pitch. If someone lands on your page, they should feel like they just walked into a five-star hotel, not a flea market. 

Okay, let’s wrap this up. Affiliate marketing? It’s not a side gig; it’s a full-blown strategy. And a killer one, if you do it right. So go ahead and take the plunge. It’s not rocket science; it’s just smart business!

People Are Looking For Houses Again

Mortgage rates came down again last week.

Now, with the expectation they could fall further, demand for mortgages has jumped rapidly.

The Federal Reserve is predicted to make its first interest rate cut in four years next Wednesday, and while mortgage rates don’t always follow the Fed exactly, they are influenced due to policy.

“The most important takeaway is that lower mortgage rates are not only not remotely guaranteed by [the] Fed rate cut. They’re actually already baked in. The directionality depends on the dot plot and Powell’s comments in the press conference. Things go either way and the volatility could be significant,” stated Matthew Graham, chief operating officer at Mortgage News Daily.

In the past week, total mortgage application volume rose 14.2% week over week, including an adjustment for the Labor Day holiday. Applications to refinance a home loan jumped 24% in the same time frame and were also 127% higher than the same week one year ago. Despite the large increase in volume, it is still coming from a low base, meaning the growth, while significant, is not exceedingly huge. Both conventional and government activity climbed to the fastest pace of refinancing since 2022.

“Application activity was up significantly last week, as market expectations of a rate cut from the Fed pulled mortgage rates lower,” said Joel Kan, an economist with the Mortgage Bankers Association.

Kan also stated, “It is notable that conventional purchase applications increased to a pace ahead of last year, which also drove overall purchase applications very close to year-ago levels. Homebuyers are seeing improving affordability conditions, sparked by lower rates and slower home-price growth.”

TECH
More Money Is Flowing To AI

A group of companies, including Microsoft and BlackRock, are planning to pull together up to $100 billion to help develop data centers for artificial intelligence and the energy infrastructure to power them.

Companies are part of the Global Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Investment Partnership, or GAIIP, which aims to advance the technology.

“We are committed to ensuring AI helps advance innovation and drives growth across every sector of the economy,” said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. He hopes that the investments bring “together financial and industry leaders to build the infrastructure of the future and power it in a sustainable way.”

Investment is also coming from a partner, GIP, that was announced to be acquired by BlackRock in January for $3 billion in cash and around 12 million shares of BlackRock’s common stock.

Currently, they plan to assemble $30 billion of initial capital and have set a future goal of bringing up to $100 billion, including from debt financing. Across the industry, tech companies have been racing to build data centers full of Nvidia graphics processing units that can run the generative AI models that power most of the AI tech you know like ChatGPT.

Specifically, investment from Microsoft is coming in addition to the expenditures it has to run its Azure public cloud, which supplies OpenAI and other AI customers. Microsoft has stated that its fiscal fourth-quarter capital spending totaled $19 billion to support the infrastructure expansion for this program.

AROUND THE ZOO

  • Vermont has now capped emergency motel housing for the homeless, which has prompted an outcry from municipal leaders and advocates who say many don’t have a place to go.

  • Breaking decades of precedent, the Teamsters union has declined to endorse any candidate in the presidential election. This comes after meeting both Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump.

  • The governor of Kentucky has just signed an executive order that bans conversion therapy in the state. This makes the scientifically discredited treatment illegal for minors in 24 states.

The True Weight-Loss Drink: Why Green Tea Takes the Crown

Look, we’ve all been there, scrolling through TikTok, and bam! Someone’s sipping some exotic weight-loss elixir claiming to shave off those pounds like a charm. Spoiler alert: No liquid’s going to perform that kind of sorcery. Stop scrolling through those videos of influencers chugging apple cider vinegar or mysterious elixirs. Guess what? We’ve cracked the code! The numero uno beverage to accelerate your weight-loss game is none other than green tea. No gimmicks here; let’s dive into why this ancient brew is the real MVP.

The Tea on Tea

First off, green tea isn’t your regular tea; it’s a powerhouse in disguise. Originating from the Camellia sinensis plant—yup, the same source of black and white teas—green tea is loaded with catechins. These bad boys are like nature’s tiny fat-busters, spiking your metabolism and urging your body to use fat as fuel. Sweet, right?

Matcha Do About Nothing? Think Again!

If you’re thinking, “But, what about matcha?” Hold your horses! Matcha, the super-concentrated green tea, is catechin central. It takes your metabolism from “meh” to “marvelous,” especially when you sip a cup pre-workout.

Your Secret Weapon Against Sugar

A can of soda might as well be a ticking sugar bomb. Swap that for green tea, and you’re not just dodging unnecessary calories—you’re also boosting your overall health. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes? Green tea’s catechins and antioxidants say, “Not today!”

The Caffeine-Catechin Tag Team

Coffee might be your morning bestie, but green tea could be your lifelong soulmate. The caffeine in green tea works in tandem with catechins, making you not just alert but also a calorie-burning machine.

The Femme Factor

Ladies, a 2022 study revealed that guzzling four or more cups of green tea a day slams down your risk of abdominal obesity by 44%. How’s that for girl power?

Fine Print Alert

Before you stockpile, know this: green tea supplements can have some funky side effects, like liver damage. But as a beverage? You’re golden. Ready to swap your soda can for a teacup? Come on, make the switch, and let the weight loss magic begin! Cheers to green tea, the unsung hero of beverages!
