Could the aging boom change our prejudice against ‘old?’

Barry Rashap, 79, felt it at the bank, where a woman stepped in front of him because he was a step too slow to get in line.“I actually said something, but she didn’t respond,” Rashap said. “But when she was done and I got up to the teller, he sort of said, ‘Good for you.’ He saw that she was rude to me because of my age.”For Barbara Sloate, 86, the feeling has come as she’s aged into what she calls “an also.”“At a certain point, you aren’t considered normal,” Sloate said. “It’s like, ‘Also, Mom will be there.’ You’re an also, an afterthought, even in your own life.”And Darrielle Wilson, 89, said simply that it’s why she’s wary about disclosing her true age.“If I tell you I’m almost 90, then that’s it; I’m out. No invites to parties or anything. But if I can still look closer to 70, then I’m still considered part of life.“I’m not talking about vanity,” she added. “I’m talking about being considered still truly alive, or not, because of your age. And that feeling, right there, that’s ...

Feds have new evidence of potential obstruction in Trump Mar-a-Lago documents case, newspaper reports

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:25 GMT

The Justice Department has obtained new evidence suggesting potential obstruction by former President Donald Trump in the agency’s probe of his handling of classified documents, The Washington Post reported Sunday.Investigators have information that indicates Trump personally reviewed some of the documents in his Mar-a-Lago home after receiving a subpoena from the Justice Department, people familiar with the investigation told the Post, out of an apparent wish to hold on to some things.While the former president’s team returned some classified documents following the May 2022 subpoena, the FBI’s August search turned up more that hadn’t been returned.Additional evidence obtained by investigators suggests that Trump told others to mislead government officials trying to recover documents from his time in the White House before the subpoena last year, which the Post noted could be evidence of his intent.CNN has confirmed that investigators have emails and text messages from Molly Michae...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:25 GMT

The plan must have looked so good to Todd Boehly.On the back of fronting the $2.5 billion purchase of Chelsea, bring in a visionary “project manager” for the long term, regenerate the squad — to the tune of an unprecedented $630 million spend across two transfer windows — with young and hungry players, and just watch the good times roll.Right?Hasn’t worked out that way.Boehly, an American businessman with no previous experience in soccer, is learning the hard way in his first year as the face of Chelsea’s new leadership.Just look at the situation Chelsea is in — languishing in 11th place in the Premier League and now without a manager after Graham Potter, the guy brought in on a five-year deal to replace Champions League-winning coach Thomas Tuchel in September, was fired late Sunday after less than seven months in charge.To say it has been a tough start for Boehly at Chelsea is an understatement.And the money being thrown at the club in the early days of the post-Roman Abramovich y...

This is one of the worst times to buy a car in decades. Here’s why

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 11:01:25 GMT

(CNN) — It has rarely been as hard to buy a new or used car in the United States as it is today, despite improving supply issues and inflation beginning to steady.Vehicle transaction prices — the price you end up paying after any dealer discounts or markups — have been climbing higher and faster since 2020 than any other point in more than 35 years, according to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.The consumer price indexes for both new and used cars — the average changes in vehicle transaction price over time — are much higher than they were four years ago in 2019.There is a silver lining. BLS data shows inflation for used cars has been cooling down just as dramatically since December 2022 as it increased in the months before that. But used cars have a long way to go before approaching 2019 sales prices and new car prices have yet to slow down.The average transaction price of a new car has jumped nearly $12,000 in the past five years, according to data from the au...
