Over 4 Hours Of Smartphone Use Leads To Serious Health Risks For Teens:

A new study warns that teenagers who use smartphones for over four hours a day are at a “serious” risk for specific health issues. Researchers say that increased smartphone use has been linked to psychiatric disorders, sleep disturbances, eye problems, and musculoskeletal issues. The study found that adolescents with more than four hours of daily smartphone use exhibited higher rates of stress, suicidal thoughts, and substance use compared to those with less usage. They also had a significantly higher rate of obesity.

Drunk And Asleep On The Job – Air Traffic Controllers Pushed To The Brink:

From left, Neil Burke, Michelle Hager and Ashley Smith, who recently left jobs as air traffic controllers, voiced concerns about staffing shortages and safety. One air traffic controller went into work drunk this summer and joked about “making big money buzzed.” Another routinely smoked marijuana during breaks. A third employee threatened violence and then “aggressively pushed” a colleague who was directing airplanes. The incidents were extreme examples, but they fit into a pattern that reveals glaring vulnerabilities in one of the most important protective layers of the nation’s vaunted aviation safety system. In the past two years, air traffic controllers and others have submitted hundreds of complaints to a Federal Aviation Administration hotline describing issues like dangerous staffing shortages, mental health problems and deteriorating buildings, some infested by bugs and black mold. There were at least seven reports of controllers sleeping when they were on duty and five about employees working while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Vehicle Deaths In Rich Countries:

If the U.S. had made as much progress reducing vehicle crashes as other high-income countries had over the past two decades, about 25,000 fewer Americans would die every year. Smartphones have also become ubiquitous in other countries, of course. But American drivers seem to be addicted to their phones in ways that drivers elsewhere are not. Surveys suggest Americans spend more time on their phones while driving than people do in other countries. In part, this phenomenon may reflect this country’s culture, which emphasizes professional success and immediate gratification.

Renters Are Paying More In Fees:

Fees for trash pickup, pest control, the use of a mailbox, and routine maintenance – many no more than five or 10 bucks each – are piling up for renters, straining the budgets of many tenants whose wages didn’t keep up with rent increases during the COVID-19 pandemic. While rent growth has since flattened in much of the country, large property-investment companies continue with these add-ons to boost their bottom lines, saying it is a way to compensate for rising operating costs. The federal government and some states are pushing back.

But some millennials are instead traveling alone to places like Buenos Aires and Las Vegas, seeing such travel as a reasonable way to maximize time away. A 2023 study from Flash Pack, a group-trip operator, suggests solo bookings for holiday travel are on the rise, particularly among millennials who might prefer to swap chaotic family dinners for “me” time.
