3 Up
1. Costco Pay Increase - Costco is doubling down on DEI policies. Now, it's offering its workers a liveable wage? We're in a weird world where this is the company receiving strong threats of boycotts and investor backlash. Kudos to Costco.
2. Kidney Transplant - We've got transplants now from pigs - PIGS! It's really cool to read about. But really, much like the above "Up" - we're in some weird times right now.
3. Beyonce - It's amazing to think that Beyonce is the first black woman to win a Grammy for Best Country Album. There are two things there for me - 1) Did it really take this long for a black artist to win? 2) When it's all said and done, Beyonce's legacy will need layers and time to be broken down and appreciated.
3 Down
1. Aviation - Why are planes crashing, falling out of the sky, and all sorts of other things? What. Is. Going. On?
2. Government Layoffs - Soooooooo, anyone else sort of worried about the job market getting flooded with all of these government jobs and really no plan in place to help absorb it? No? No? Just me?
3. Luka Doncic Trade - I still have no idea what the Dallas Mavericks just did. None of this makes any sense.
