Fidelity faces off against fintech in battle over 401(k) access America's 401(k) system leaves consumers at the mercy of financial services companies. One small upstart is tackling a giant incumbent over access.

I wrote about the dispute be Fidelity Investments and a newish fintech called Pontera. It raises tons of interesting issues about what happens when we leave ordinary Americans at the mercy of the financial services industry for their golden years.

People might not know about the extreme level of worry that journalists live with after their story has been published or broadcast. The fear that they got something wrong literally keeps them up at night. Obsessively. Now imagine what it will be like as newsrooms thin out and more errors are made.

Legionnaires' disease is spreading thanks to a perfect storm of conditions Legionnaires' disease has killed at least five in New York and sickened many more, but its risk factors are widespread and growing across the US.

The Legionnaires’ disease outbreak in New York City is an American problem.

As new real estate listings rules take effect, will buyers and sellers benefit? A new policy that purports to offer more options for homeowners to list their properties for sale may be a step back for the housing market.

My latest on big changes in the #housingmarket / #realestate. Are the so-called "Clear Cooperation" updates from the National Association of Realtors actually in the best interests of buyers and sellers? Roughly 50 comments on my LinkedIn feed would beg to differ. 🏑

Inflation Affects Behavior Decades after Prices Have Stabilized Hyperinflation in 1920s Germany set off ripples that persist a century later.

People’s expectations about price changes can shape decisions on what, when, and how much to consume in the present, and the research suggests it may echo for decades upon decades. β€” @riquier.bsky.social
