Family and money don't always mix well, as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/41074143/couple-makes-11-500-a-month-but-only-has-3-000-saved-and-no-retirement-dave-ramsey-slams-asinine">Dave Ramsey</a> made clear when Philip from Washington, D.C., called in with a tough situation. Two years earlier, Philip's mother borrowed $7,000 from him – half of his savings – to invest in Bitcoin. Fast forward to 2020 and the investment didn't pay off as expected. That's when Philip decided to call Ramsey for advice.&nbsp;
During the call, Philip explained he needs the money to pay for college tuition, but his mother refuses to pay him back, convinced Bitcoin will still make them millionaires.

</ul>
Ramsey didn't hesitate to give his opinion. "No, she's wrong and she's wrong and she's wrong," he said. The fact that a parent would borrow money from their child for a risky investment like Bitcoin left him shaking his head. "If you're that big a loser, you don't need to be investing," Ramsey added, emphasizing that it's irresponsible to gamble with someone else's savings, especially when it's your kid's.

Poor Decisions All Around
Philip explained that his mom still wouldn't return the money because she believed Bitcoin would make them rich. Ramsey's response was firm: "When you borrow money from your child and they ask for it back because they're in college, you give them the money back. You don't be a loser."
Ramsey was also clear about Bitcoin's potential: "You're not going to be a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40318568/mark-cuban-says-to-get-rich-invest-10-of-savings-in-high-risk-investments-but-if-its-bitcoin-thr">millionaire in Bitcoin</a>; you're going to be $7,000 poorer." He pointed out that relying on Bitcoin to get rich was a bad bet.

Focus on What Matters: Education
As a college sophomore, Philip was now short on tuition money. Ramsey stressed that Philip's education, especially with his economics major and computer science minor, would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40759485/harris-push-for-free-college-vs-trumps-focus-on-workforce-training-which-is-right-for-america">lead to far better opportunities</a> than a Bitcoin gamble ever could.&nbsp;
Ramsey's View on Bitcoin
Ramsey didn't hold back on Bitcoin, comparing it to gambling and letting him know you'd have a better chance of becoming a millionaire in Vegas. He explained that Bitcoin lacks the trust that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40711869/how-rich-are-you-heres-the-net-worth-that-defines-upper-middle-and-lower-class">more stable currencies</a> have and until that changes, it remains a risky, unpredictable investment.
While many people have certainly profited from Bitcoin investments, Ramsey's stance was crystal clear – he's not a fan.

The Value of Bitcoin Today
Ironically, Bitcoin&#8217;s value has risen since the call in January 2020. Back then, $7,000 in Bitcoin would have been worth about $11,500 in October 2020. By 2024, that $7,000 investment would be worth roughly $37,007. While that's a notable increase, it still wouldn't have made Philip's mother a millionaire, as she had hoped.
Bitcoin may not be for Ramsey, but it continues to attract significant investor interest, with record levels of potential investors. The Motley Fool Ascent&#8217;s 2024 Cryptocurrency Investor Trends Survey shows 43% of respondents are likely to invest in cryptocurrency within the next year.

The Bottom Line For Philip: Get Your Money Back
Ramsey wrapped up the conversation by encouraging Philip to calmly but firmly ask for his money back. He encouraged her to let him know he wanted his money back immediately. "This is wrong," Ramsey advised. He suggested that Philip explain to his mother that, regardless of their disagreement on Bitcoin, it was still his money and that he needed it for school.

Mom Borrows $7,000 From Her Son To Buy Bitcoin, Dave Ramsey Says Demand The Money Back: 'This is Wrong … You're Not Going to Be a Millionaire'

Former President Donald Trump returned to Butler, Pa., on Saturday, the site of the July assassination attempt against him. He rallied with supporters and paid <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39763322/republicans-say-trump-rally-shooting-is-a-game-changer-for-former-president-he-just-won-the-election">tribute to a victim of the incident</a>.
What Happened: Trump made his way back to the location where a shooting took place during a rally in July. The former president, who was wounded in the attack, was accompanied by several notable figures, including Elon Musk.
The rally was organized in honor of Corey Comperatore, a supporter who tragically lost his life in the July shooting. Trump acknowledged Comperatore and other victims of the shooting, leading a moment of silence exactly 12 weeks after the shooting commenced.
"Tonight, I return to Butler in the aftermath of tragedy and heartache to deliver a simple message to the people of Pennsylvania and the people of America: Our movement to Make America Great Again stands stronger, prouder, more united, more determined, and nearer to victory than ever before," The Hill quoted Trump <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4918014-trump-rally-assassination-attempt/">saying </a>at the rally.
"If we win Pennsylvania, we will win the whole thing. The whole thing will be won," Trump added.
Musk shared the stage with Trump, endorsing the former president and expressing criticism towards Democrats.

"The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot," Musk said during the rally. 
Trump&#8217;s reappearance in Butler attracted a large audience, matching the size of his earlier rallies. The former president highlighted the significance of Pennsylvania in the forthcoming election and encouraged his supporters to cast their votes.
The rally takes place amidst polls indicating a close contest between Trump and Vice President Harris in crucial swing states, with Election Day less than a month away.
Why It Matters: The return of Trump to the site of the assassination attempt signifies his resilience and determination. His endorsement by Elon Musk, a prominent figure in the tech industry, could potentially sway voters. 
The rally&#8217;s large turnout indicates a strong base of support for Trump, which could be pivotal in the upcoming election. The emphasis on Pennsylvania, a key battleground state, underscores the state&#8217;s importance in determining the election outcome. 
With the race between Trump and Harris tightening, every vote and every rally could make a significant difference.

Trump Returns To Site Of Assassination Attempt, Urges Voters To Vote: 'Our Movement To Make America Great Again Stands Stronger'

A recent survey by Xero has uncovered a significant opportunity for financial advisors to expand their client base among <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/small-businesses">small business owners. </a>
The study reveals a stark contrast between entrepreneurs&#8217; perceived financial acumen and the fiscal challenges they face in reality.
While 55% of small business owners rate themselves high on financial literacy, half have encountered fiscal challenges due to knowledge gaps. More concerning, 15% report they haven&#8217;t recovered from these setbacks. This disconnect between confidence and competence in financial matters presents a clear opening for advisors to offer their expertise.
Key areas where business owners struggle include:
<ul>
<li>Tax optimization (18%)</li>
<li>Budgeting (16%)</li>
<li>Understanding financial metrics (16%)</li>
<li>Cash flow management (16%)</li>
</ul>
These pain points align perfectly with the skill set of financial advisors, positioning them to provide targeted solutions.
The survey also uncovered generational differences in business formation, with 67% of Gen Z respondents starting businesses as side hustles compared to 48% of Boomers. This trend towards entrepreneurship from side gigs creates a new demographic of potential clients who may need guidance in transitioning to full-time business ownership.
Financial advisors can capitalize on the fact that 61% of respondents used personal savings to start their businesses. This presents an opportunity to offer services that balance personal and business financial planning.
Moreover, only 38% of small businesses have an emergency fund, and 13% lack any plan for unexpected costs. Advisors can leverage this data to emphasize the importance of financial planning and risk management.
Perhaps most critically, only 16% of business owners currently use an accountant or advisor. This low utilization rate suggests a vast untapped market for financial professionals.
By highlighting their expertise in areas where business owners struggle and emphasizing the value of professional financial guidance, advisors can position themselves as essential partners in small business success.

Financial Literacy Gaps Leave Small Businesses Ripe For Advisor Expertise

Restaurant giant McDonald's Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NASDAQ">MCD</a>) caused high hopes for Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) fans that the company could be partnering with the electric vehicle giant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40808924/tesla-robotaxi-event-to-be-held-in-los-angeles-on-1010-says-senior-company-exec-existing-shareholder">for Robotaxi Day</a>.
Instead, the rumors and internet clues appear to be just a timing coincidence, but is more coming?
What Happened: The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/41106025/tesla-analyst-sets-the-stage-for-game-changing-robotaxi-event-anticipates-seminal-a">delayed Robotaxi Day </a>is set for Oct. 10, a date engraved in the mind of Tesla fans and investors for some time now.
When McDonald's <a href="https://x.com/McDonalds/status/1841479384479240506">tweeted </a>out a picture of a delivery order that said "chat's about to pop off 10.10" that got an emoji <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1841541359032832127">reaction </a>from Tesla CEO Elon Musk, fans started playing connect the dots.
Internet speculation almost immediately went to McDonald's being a potential partner of Tesla for the upcoming Robotaxi vehicle.
The rumors have subsided with McDonald's announcing yesterday that it was launching a new chicken sandwich that it teased as "not not a big mac" earlier this week on the delivery order.
McDonald's <a href="https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/chicken-big-mac.html">announced </a>that the Chicken Big Mac will drop at participating U.S. restaurants on Oct. 10, calling it a limited time offer.
"With the introduction of the Chicken Big Mac, we're excited to pay homage to one of our most iconic menu items, the Big Mac, and introduce it to a whole new generation of fans," McDonald's USA Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer Tariq Hassan said.
The Big Mac was introduced in 1968 and has been a staple item on the McDonald's menu.
McDonald's has partnered with well-known content creator Kai Cenat on the new sandwich launch with Cenat and friends livestreaming a taste test of the new menu item coming.
Given this could be one of the biggest menu item launches for McDonald's in some time, there is now a possibility that the restaurant chain steals some of Tesla's thunder on Oct. 10.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While any partnership between McDonalds and Tesla is likely an unfound rumor, the interaction with the company's posts on social media platform X by Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino.
"6 days until I know what I am having for lunch," Yaccarino <a href="https://x.com/lindayaX/status/1842172520763425046">tweeted </a>with a chicken emoji and burger emoji.
Also helping the rumors grow was the recent follow of McDonald's Senior Marketing Director Guillaume Huin by Musk.
Huin <a href="https://x.com/HuinGuillaume/status/1841855510833987690">tweeted </a>that the new chicken sandwich announcement date was coincidental but a post might spark speculation once again.
"And no, it was not related to the robotaxi but maybe you'll be able to take the robotaxi to your nearest McDonald's drive-thru on 10.10," Huin tweeted while tagging and telling people to ask @battleangelviv, who is listed as working on social media for X and Tesla.
This isn't the first time Musk has been connected to the restaurant giant. The billionaire previously said that he would <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37470735/if-you-invested-100-in-dogecoin-when-elon-musk-offered-to-eat-a-happy-meal-on-tv-heres-how">eat a Happy Meal </a>live on television if McDonald's began accepting Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) as a form of payment.
Musk<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/01/25206297/elon-musk-says-hell-eat-a-happy-meal-on-tv-if-mcdonalds-accepts-dogecoin-is-there-somethin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;offered a challenge&nbsp;</a>to McDonald&#8217;s in January 2022 to help push the restaurant company to accept Dogecoin as a payment option.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1485953263040188416" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tweet&nbsp;</a>from Musk came as speculation grew that McDonald&#8217;s was planning to accept Dogecoin, which turned out to be untrue.
Musk&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/01/30597875/elon-musk-still-open-to-eating-happy-meal-on-tv-if-mcdonalds-accepts-dogecoin" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">confirmed again in 2023</a>&nbsp;that he was still open to the challenge if McDonald&#8217;s did their part.
MCD Price Action: McDonald's shares trade at $303.76 versus a 52-week trading range of $243.53 to $306.96. McDonald's stock is up 2% year-to-date in 2024. &nbsp;

Elon Musk Vs. McDonald's: Tesla Fans Wanted Collaboration, Instead They Get New Product Launch Competing With Robotaxi Day

Scott, a longtime worker in the auto industry, recently wrote into <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40669326/31-year-old-inherits-10m-from-parent-he-never-knew-ramsey-show-hosts-offer-critical-advice-on-wh">The Ramsey Show</a> with a tough question: Is it hypocritical to work in an industry that often puts people in debt while working hard to get out of debt himself?&nbsp;
After six years in the field – starting as a mechanic, then service advisorand now a sales consultant – Scott felt conflicted after reading George Kamel's book Breaking Free from Broke. While Scott makes about $150,000 a year and takes pride in educating his customers, he couldn't shake the guilt of working in an industry tied to car loans.

</ul>
He wondered if his role was making people&#8217;s finances worse, even though he tried to steer them toward responsible decisions.
In response, George Kamel and co-host Dr. John Delony provided thoughtful insights. Kamel addressed Scott's concerns directly, stating, "Truthfully, here&#8217;s my take … I feel like we need Scott in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/07/39851031/auto-industry-pulls-back-on-evs-as-consumers-hesitate-over-high-price-inconvenience">car industry</a>. We need people with integrity who are leading people to the right decision who aren&#8217;t scumburgers. And it&#8217;s easy to generalize an entire industry as this gross industry, but I think what Scott&#8217;s doing here is noble, it&#8217;s moral, there&#8217;s no issues with it."

Kamel emphasized that Scott's role is not to push financing or upsell customers into vehicles they can't afford. Instead, Scott is there to help people find a car within their budget. He said there's nothing wrong with working as a salesperson if you sincerely try to help your customers.&nbsp;
Dr. Delony took a broader perspective, encouraging Scott to reflect on his values. "You always have to go back and ask yourself, what&#8217;s your integrity worth? And that&#8217;s a scary hard question,&#8221; Delony said.&nbsp;
Trending: A billion-dollar investment strategy with minimums as low as $10 —<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/fundrise-flagship-fund"> you can become part of the next big real estate boom today.</a>
He pointed out that while Scott's concerns were valid, it's important to understand that salespeople like him are in a position to help change the industry&#8217;s culture. By being honest and transparent, Scott can steer people from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40430034/you-look-at-what-you-had-not-what-you-have-and-other-investor-mistakes-that-suze-orman-says-you-">financial mistakes</a> and toward smarter decisions.
Delony also shared a personal story about a mentor who helped him understand that staying in a challenging situation can sometimes be more impactful than leaving. He said, "What if you became a voice of reason, a voice of a new perspective over timeand you continue to show up … I think that&#8217;s how the world changes. If everybody heads for the exits when it gets hard and scary and uncomfortable, nothing changes."

The hosts clarified that Scott's role as a car salesperson wasn't inherently harmful. Instead, his approach – leading customers to affordable cars – was positive. They reassured him that it's possible to stay in the industry and help people avoid debt, rather than contribute to it.
Kamel summed it up by saying, "If you can be a change agent here, Scott and stay in it and make peace with it and not let it eat away at your soul, do it and keep helping people. But if you can&#8217;t, like John&#8217;s saying, then you gotta make the move out of here."
For those facing similar questions about their career and values, Scott's story reminds them that it's important to consider your financial and personal goals. If you find yourself at a financial crossroads, it may be worth seeking the advice of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-online-financial-advisors">financial advisor</a> to help you make the best decision for your future.

Consumer Tech News (Sept 30-Oct 4): Latest Windows 11 Update Causing Trouble, Apple Accused Of Compelling Employees To Sign Illegal Agreements & More

This past week has been eventful for Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), with developments ranging from potential technological advancements to legal challenges. The tech giant was also in the spotlight for its device longevity and a lifesaving feature during a natural disaster. Here&#8217;s a quick round-up of the week&#8217;s top stories.
Apple Eyes New Display Technology
Taiwan-based Novatek is preparing to mass-produce OLED displays that could significantly impact future iPhones&#8217; design. The company plans to initiate mass production of OLED displays incorporating Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) technology by Q2 2025, and Apple might be among the first clients. However, this remains speculative at this point.

Apple Faces Legal Challenge
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has filed a complaint against Apple, alleging that the company forced its employees to sign illegal confidentiality, non-compete, and non-disclosure agreements. The complaint also accuses Apple of excessively enforcing social media and misconduct policies. The case is set to be heard by an administrative judge in January.

The past week has been a rollercoaster ride for the U.S. economy. From a surprising surge in job growth to predictions of market euphoria topping soon and Elon Musk&#8217;s alarming bankruptcy prediction for the U.S., there&#8217;s a lot to unpack.

Elon Musk expressed concerns over the financial trajectory of the U.S., suggesting the nation is on the brink of bankruptcy. This comes after Federal debt increased by $204 billion on the first day of the new fiscal year, jumping to a new record of $35.669 trillion.

US Job Growth Surges, Market Euphoria Predicted To Top, And Musk Foresees Bankruptcy: This Week In Economics

Elon Musk, the CEO of X and Tesla Inc., joined former President Donald Trump at<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41178472/trump-says-hes-going-back-to-butler-site-of-first-assassination-attempt-elon-musk-chimes-in-ill-be-t"> a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania,</a> to criticize the Democratic Party.
What Happened: Musk shared the stage with former President Trump at his rally on Saturday. Musk made accusations against Democrats, claiming they aim to deprive citizens of their fundamental rights, including freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the right to vote.
&#8220;They want to take away your freedom of speech, they want to take away your right to bear arms, they want to take away your right to vote, effectively,&#8221; Musk declared.
The rally was held at the same venue where an assassination attempt on Trump took place in July. Musk, who has been increasingly active in this presidential election, endorsed Trump, who introduced him prior to his speech.

Musk&#8217;s remarks were a direct attack on the Democratic party and President Joe Biden. He stated, &#8220;The true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire. We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist pumping after getting shot.&#8221;
Musk has also shown support for the Save America PAC, a group that has been instrumental in voter mobilization for the Trump campaign. He encouraged rally attendees to register to vote, making an unverified claim that 2024 would be &#8220;the last election&#8221; if Democrats win the White House.
Why It Matters: Democrats have been pushing for broader voting rights laws and stricter gun control measures in response to years of mass shootings. However, their presidential nominee, Vice President Harris, has consistently stated that she is not seeking to confiscate firearms from gun owners.
Musk&#8217;s recent political involvement has been a topic of discussion. He has been using his social media platform, X, to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41082363/heres-how-elon-musk-has-become-a-pro-trump-political-influencer-through-social-media">amplify conservative viewpoints</a> and has become a prominent online advocate for Trump. His increased political activity, combined with his wealth and online presence, could potentially be advantageous for Trump, as suggested by political analysts.
His endorsement of Trump has been particularly noteworthy. Musk, who is also the CEO of SpaceX, has stated that the future of human exploration on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41195209/elon-musk-says-humanity-will-never-reach-mars-unless-trump-wins-this-is-existential">Mars is contingent on the re-election of Trump </a>and the reduction of what he calls &#8220;smothering regulations.&#8221;

Elon Musk And Trump Address Thousands At Site Of Failed Assassination Attempt, Take Aim At Biden's Leadership: 'We Had One President Who Couldn't Climb A Flight Of Stairs'

The leaders of China and North Korea have pledged to enhance their bilateral cooperation on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of their diplomatic relations.
What Happened: Chinese President Xi Jinping has expressed his commitment to the development of China-DPRK relations in a message to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Xi highlighted the significance of their relationship, referring to several meetings, personal letters, and messages exchanged over the years, the state news agency KCNA reported.
Xi conveyed that China is ready to &#8220;write a new chapter&#8221; in their relations through increased communications and cooperation. China is North Korea&#8217;s largest trading partner, with a shared history that traces back to Beijing&#8217;s support of Pyongyang during the Korean War (1950-1953).
Despite this, China has been cautious about North Korea&#8217;s growing ties with Russia, especially after the signing of a strategic treaty that includes mutual defense elements.
Kim, in his message to Xi, also pledged to &#8220;steadily strive to consolidate and develop the friendly and cooperative relations between the DPRK and China as required by the new era.&#8221; 
On the eve of the anniversary, Kim oversaw a live artillery firing by graduates of the O Jin U Artillery Academy, a facility that trains the backbone of North Korea&#8217;s artillery force. He also reiterated the country&#8217;s willingness to use all available offensive forces, including nuclear weapons, to defend its sovereignty.
Why It Matters: The recent pledge of enhanced cooperation between China and North Korea comes at a time of heightened tensions in the region. Just last month, Kim&#8217;s sister, Kim Yo Jong, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41080855/kim-jong-uns-sister-says-us-making-incredible-mistake-by-giving-8b-in-military-aid-to-ukraine-should">publicly denounced the United States&#8217; decision</a> to supply $8 billion in military aid to Ukraine, describing it as &#8220;an incredible mistake&#8221; and a perilous provocation against Russia, a nation armed with nuclear weapons.
Kim&#8217;s recent pledge to further develop friendly and cooperative relations with China also follows his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41181104/kim-jong-un-threatens-nuclear-retaliation-against-south-korea-if-attacked">stark warning to South Korea</a>, threatening nuclear retaliation if North Korea&#8217;s sovereignty is compromised. These developments indicate a complex geopolitical landscape in the region, with China and Russia playing significant roles.

Kim Jong Un And Xi Jinping Vow To 'Write A New Chapter' In China-North Korea Cooperation: 'Develop The Friendly And Cooperative Relations...As Required'

Kamala Harris is clarifying her economic stance as she gears up for the 2024 presidential race. One of her key targets? Donald Trump&#8217;s approach to tariffs. In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36ovmQj7gbQ">interview</a>, Harris criticized Trump's plan to impose tariffs on U.S. imports, calling it reckless and poorly thought out.

</ul>
"He's just not very serious about how he thinks about some of these issues," Harris said, pointing to Trump's economic policies. She emphasized that tariffs shouldn't be thrown around lightly because they can have real consequences for everyday Americans.
While tariffs sometimes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/09/40856820/biden-hikes-tariffs-on-chinese-goods-alibaba-jd-com-stocks-drop">protect domestic industries</a>, Harris believes Trump's broad approach is misguided. Instead of benefiting the American economy, she thinks his plan would hurt families already struggling with inflation by making everyday items more expensive.
Trending: Beating the market through ethical real estate investing' — t<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/invest-with-roots">his platform aims to give tenants equity in the homes they live in while scoring 17.17% average annual returns for investors – here&#8217;s how to join with just $100</a>

Like Harris, Marks isn't convinced that Trump's tariffs are a good idea. In his latest memo, Marks stated that while tariffs could stimulate U.S. output, they would raise consumer prices. He warned that Trump's 10% tariff plan would essentially tax the average American, burdening families with higher costs.
However, Marks isn&#8217;t sold on Harris&#8217;s anti-price gouging policy either. The current VP wants to tackle grocery inflation, but Marks thinks she&#8217;s missing the bigger picture. "There's nothing wrong with trying to bring down the cost of necessities. However, the best way to do this is to encourage additions to supply."
Trending: These five entrepreneurs are worth $223 billion –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/arrived-homes-private-credit-fund"> they all believe in one platform that offers a 7-9% target yield with monthly dividends</a>
And it seems that Harris listened because, as she said in that interview, &#8220;Supply that is without any question part of the solution. Creating more supply under my plan includes creating tax incentives to work with the private sector and homebuilders.&#8221;
Nevertheless, Harris contrasts her approach with Trump's, emphasizing the need for detailed analysis and long-term thinking. "One must be serious and have a plan, and a real plan that&#8217;s not just about some talking point ending in an exclamation at a political rally but putting the thought into what will be the return on the investment, what will be the economic impact on everyday people," she said.&nbsp;

For Harris, economic policy is about understanding the ripple effects and ensuring changes are carefully considered before implementation.
Vice President Kamala Harris recently admitted that the Biden administration kept some of Trump's tariffs. Still, she criticized his new plan, calling it a "20% sales tax on everyday items people need to make it through the month."
Like any policy, the full impact on voters isn't always clear from sound bites coming from both sides.

'He's Just Not Very Serious' Says Kamala Harris – 'You Don't Just Throw Around The Idea Of Tariffs Across The Board'

It&#8217;s been over a decade since legendary Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs left us, but his impact on the world of technology and beyond continues to resonate.
On Oct. 5, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/23/11/35753841/steve-jobs-experienced-extreme-regret-in-the-final-days-before-his-death-saying-i-wanted-my-kids-to">anniversary of his passing</a>, it&#8217;s worth taking a moment to reflect on the journey of this tech visionary who transformed not just how we use computers, but how we live our daily lives.
The Early Days: A Spark Of Genius
Jobs&#8217; story begins in San Francisco, where he was born in 1955 and later adopted by Paul and Clara Jobs. From an early age, he showed a keen interest in electronics, tinkering with gadgets in his family&#8217;s garage.
As a teenager, Jobs&#8217; rebellious spirit and thirst for knowledge led him to Reed College. Though he dropped out after just one semester, he continued to audit classes that piqued his interest.
One of these was a calligraphy course, which might seem like an odd choice for a future tech mogul. But Jobs later credited this class with influencing Apple&#8217;s groundbreaking approach to typography and design.

Most Valuable Company Today Had Humble Beginnings
The story of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/20/01/15157731/great-american-companies-a-brief-history-of-apple-inc">Apple&#8217;s humble beginnings</a> in a garage has become the stuff of Silicon Valley legend.
In 1976, Jobs and his friend Steve Wozniak founded Apple Computer Company. Their first product, the Apple I, was essentially a circuit board that hobbyists could use to build their own computers.
However, the Apple II, released in 1977, really put them on the map.
The Apple II wasn&#8217;t just a computer for geeks – it was a machine that regular people could use.
Apple today has a market capitalization of $3.448 trillion, making it the most valuable company in the world.
The Macintosh Revolution
Fast forward to 1984, and Apple was ready to change the world again with the Macintosh.
This was the first commercially successful computer to feature a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse.
If you&#8217;ve ever used a computer with icons and windows (which, let&#8217;s face it, is pretty much every computer nowadays), you can thank Jobs and his team for pushing this revolutionary idea into the mainstream.
But It Was Not Always Smooth Sailing
In 1985, after a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/17/01/8884660/why-rehiring-steve-jobs-was-the-best-move-apple-ever-made">power struggle</a> with then-CEO John Sculley, Jobs left Apple, the company he had co-founded. It was a huge blow, but Jobs wasn&#8217;t one to sit idle.
He went on to found NeXT, a company that aimed to create high-end computers for the education market. While NeXT didn&#8217;t achieve the commercial success Jobs had hoped for, it would later play a crucial role in Apple&#8217;s future.
From Side Project To Animation Powerhouse
During his time away from Apple, Jobs also bought a little <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37921097/steve-jobs-didnt-become-a-billionaire-because-of-apple-it-was-actually-pixar-and-the-toy-story-movie">computer graphics division</a> from Lucasfilm. This would become Pixar Animation Studios.
Under Jobs&#8217; guidance, Pixar went from a tech company to an animation powerhouse, releasing groundbreaking films like &#8220;Toy Story&#8221; and forever changing the landscape of animated storytelling.
…And Then The Prodigal Son Returns
By the mid-90s, Apple was struggling. The company that had once been at the forefront of personal computing was floundering, with a confusing product line and declining sales.
In a twist of fate, Apple announced that it <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36321524/if-you-invested-1000-in-apple-when-it-announced-next-acquisition-to-bring-back-steve-jobs-heres-">was acquiring NeXT in 1996</a>, bringing Jobs back into the fold as an advisor.
He quickly became interim CEO (or &#8220;iCEO&#8221; as he jokingly called himself) and set about turning the company around.

The Apple Renaissance
Jobs&#8217; return to Apple marked the beginning of one of the greatest comebacks in business history. He streamlined the product line, focusing on simplicity and design.
The result? A string of iconic products that would redefine entire industries:
<ol>
<li>The iMac (1998): A colorful, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/05/32259104/if-you-invested-1000-in-apple-when-imac-was-unveiled-25-years-ago-heres-how-much-youd-have-now">all-in-one computer</a> that made technology fun and accessible.</li>

<li>The iPhone (2007): A device that put the internet, a music player, and a phone in your pocket, changing the way <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/01/30336631/the-iphone-was-unveiled-16-years-ago-heres-how-much-1-000-invested-in-apple-stock-after-the-debut-is">we communicate forever</a>.</li>
<li>The iPad (2010): Bridging the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/21/01/19345275/this-day-in-market-history-apple-unveils-original-ipad-1">gap between</a> smartphones and laptops, creating a new category of device.</li>
</ol>
The Jobs Philosophy
What set Jobs apart wasn&#8217;t just his ability to create great products, but his unwavering commitment to certain principles:
Simplicity: Jobs believed that technology should be intuitive and easy to use.
Design: He saw beauty in minimalism and insisted that even the parts users couldn&#8217;t see should be well-designed.
Integration: Jobs pushed for seamless integration between hardware and software, creating ecosystems that just worked.
He once said, "Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn&#8217;t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we&#8217;ve done something wonderful [at Apple], that&#8217;s what matters to me."
The Final Chapter
In 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/01/36832060/steve-jobs-followed-an-extreme-diet-consisting-of-certain-fruits-and-vegetables-and-fasting-for-days">rare form of pancreatic cancer</a>. Despite this setback, he continued to lead Apple, overseeing some of the company&#8217;s most innovative years.&nbsp;
However, his health struggles eventually led to him stepping down as CEO in Aug. 2011.
On Oct. 5, 2011, he passed away, leaving behind a legacy that had fundamentally changed multiple industries – computing, music, movies, telecommunications, and retail.
The Legacy Lives On
Today, Apple continues to be one of the world&#8217;s most valuable and influential companies. While it has evolved under the leadership of Tim Cook, many of Jobs&#8217; core principles still guide the company.
But Jobs&#8217; influence extends far beyond Apple. His vision of technology as a tool to enrich our lives has shaped the entire tech industry. From the smartphones we carry in our pockets to the way we consume media, Jobs&#8217; fingerprints are everywhere.
He once said, &#8220;The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.&#8221; He was certainly one of those people, and the world is all the richer for it.

Legendary Apple Co-Founder Steve Jobs Once Said, 'Being The Richest Man In The Cemetery Doesn't Matter To Me:' Maybe That's Why His Impact Transcends Financial Success For iPhone-Maker And Beyond

With one month to go, Kamala Harris is slightly ahead of Donald Trump in the presidential race, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40667209/trump-vs-harris-new-polls-reveal-this-candidate-is-outperforming-in-swing-states">as per recent polling data</a>.
What Happened: Recent surveys indicate that Harris is leading Trump by a margin of two to five points, with less than five weeks remaining until the election.
The latest Emerson poll reveals Harris leading with 50% against Trump&#8217;s 48%. The Morning Consult&#8217;s weekly <a href="https://pro.morningconsult.com/trackers/2024-presidential-election-polling">poll</a> also shows Harris ahead by five points, 51% to 46%. Similar results were seen in a Susquehanna <a href="https://x.com/SusquehannaPR/status/1841524316082778119">poll</a> and an Economist/YouGov <a href="https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/50629-harris-leads-vp-debate-media-filibuster-eric-adams-september-29-october-1-2024-economist-yougov-poll">poll</a> released this week, with Harris leading by five and three points respectively.
But despite Harris lead, her advantage has slightly diminished over the past two months, peaking at 3.7 points in late August, as per FiveThirtyEight's weighted polling average. RealClearPolitics' latest polling average shows Harris leading Trump by 2.2 points.
According to a Cook Political Report survey, Harris is leading Trump by one point overall in the seven battleground states likely to decide the election. However, the NBC News/Telemundo/CNBC <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/poll-harris-trump-democrats-advantage-latino-voters-continues-shrink-rcna172686">poll</a> indicates that Harris&#8217; lead among Latinos is dwindling.
Pre-debate surveys suggested that Harris' polling surge seemed to have reached a plateau. Although most post-debate surveys indicate that the majority of respondents believe Harris won the debate, it was not enough to significantly impact the race between the two candidates.

Also a <a href="https://www.genderontheballot.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/6574-GOTB-2024-Deck-c2_release.pdf">poll</a> conducted by American University (AU) and the Benenson Strategy Group revealed that 51% of women trust Harris to tackle inflation and the high cost of gas and groceries. This is in contrast to the 37% who trust her GOP rival, Trump, on these issues.
The survey also showed that Harris and her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, are trusted more on immigration, another key issue with the election just over a month away. Harris&#8217;s favorability among independent women has increased by 23 points since last year, with 51% finding her favorable.
Furthermore, the poll emphasized that the economy and inflation are the most important issues for women in the 2024 White House race, with 64% of respondents indicating this. Harris currently holds a 3.7-point lead over Trump nationally, according to The Hill/Decision Desk HQ's polling index.
Why It Matters: The close race between Harris and Trump underscores the deeply divided political landscape in the United States. 
The shrinking lead of Harris, particularly among Latinos, could be a cause for concern for her campaign. The outcome of the election could hinge on the seven battleground states, where the race is currently too close to call. 
The impact of the debates on the polling numbers also highlights the importance of these events in shaping public opinion. Also Harris&#8217; lead over Trump and her increased favorability among independent women could potentially influence the election results.

Polls Suggest This Candidate Holds Slim Lead In Presidential Race With One Month To Go

U.S. District Court Judge for the District of Columbia Tanya Chutkan made public this week a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156198/jack-smith-makes-case-against-trump-he-resorted-to-crimes-to-try-to-stay-in-office-after-losing-elec">filing by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith</a> that detailed Donald Trump&#8217;s alleged election subversion efforts in the aftermath of the 2020 election. Mary Trump, the former president&#8217;s niece, on Thursday delved into the development in a substack post.
Legal Setback: Smith&#8217;s document, which was written in part to to take into account the presidential immunity ruling handed down by the &#8220;corrupt illegitimate super-majority of the Supreme Court&#8221; is devastating, <a href="https://www.marytrump.org/p/donald-trump-vs-the-american-people">said</a> Mary Trump in the post. She noted that Smith made the case that Donald Trump acted as a private citizen and a private candidate when he planned and incited the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection and therefore his conduct is not protected by the Supreme Court&#8217;s immunity ruling, she added.
Mary Trump noted that Smith detailed the important role played by Donald Trump&#8217;s political rallies in the days and weeks leading up to Jan. 6 riots, which he &nbsp;used, in part, to perpetuate false claims about his having won the election. 
Judge Chutkan and Smith deemed it fit to make public the information before the Nov. 5 election, given Donald Trump effectively games the legal system in his favor, reducing the chances of the case going to trial before the election, she said. There is a real possibility of the case never going to trial at all due to the &#8220;corrupt illegitimate super majority of the Supreme Court,&#8221; she added.
&#8220;The presidential candidate the Republican Party nominated, and the traitor they continue to support almost unequivocally, engaged in a conspiracy against the American people,&#8221; Mary Trump said.

Trump Team&#8217;s Wrong Claim: In a separate <a href="https://www.marytrump.org/p/taking-it-in-his-stride">post</a>, Mary Trump weighed in on the election interference accusation Donald Trump and the Republicans have made against Chutkan and Smith on the grounds that the filing was released only 35 days out from the election.
The psychologist said there has been no intent to affect the outcome of the election as both &#8220;Smith and Chutkan are simply dealing as best they can with the hand they've been dealt while trying to comply with the almost impossible constraints the Supreme Court ruling placed upon them.&#8221;
She blamed Attorney General Merrick Garland for taking nearly two years for the appointment of the Special Counsel. The &#8220;extraordinary&#8221; delays once Smith was appointed was due to Donald Trump and the &#8220;corrupt illegitimate super-majority on the Supreme Court,&#8221; she said.
&#8220;We're here because Donald Trump figured out a long time ago how to game the system. If you&#8217;re the guilty party, and he nearly always is, your best bet is to create as many delays as possible,&#8221; Mary Trump said. &#8220;This time around he also had the corrupt, illegitimate super-majority of the Supreme Court backing him up all the way,&#8221; she added.

With a major dockworkers&#8217; strike on hold for now, entrepreneur Kevin O&#8217;Leary highlights the outdated infrastructure and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41187855/port-strike-ends-after-3-days-retaliers-politicians-breathe-a-sigh-of-relief" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">rising tensions over union demands</a>.
On Fox Business&#8217; Varney &amp; Co. on Friday, O&#8217;Leary remarked that East Coast ports are outdated and inefficient, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/kevin-oleary-addresses-the-trouble-us-ports-union-automation-concerns">reported</a> Fox Business.
A major strike by the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association halted trade at East and Gulf Coast ports, affecting billions in commerce. The union has agreed to continue under an expired contract through mid-January.

Leary went on to explain that when comparing East Coast ports to international ones like those in Singapore and other Asian locations, they fall short, which negatively impacts productivity.
O&#8217;Leary noted that studies on port automation reveal no negative impact on wages on the East and West Coasts. In fact, he argued that automation could enhance wages for employees skilled in using robotic systems, fostering job creation and promoting wage growth.

Kevin O'Leary Says Port Automation Won't Hurt Wages

Business mogul Mark Cuban once made a spontaneous purchase of a lifetime flight pass from American Airlines during a celebratory spree, later upgrading it.
Business mogul Mark Cuban once made a spontaneous purchase of a lifetime flight pass from American Airlines during a celebratory spree, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/12/36058376/how-being-a-lousy-employee-fueled-mark-cubans-success-i-was-a-know-it-all">later upgrading it</a>.
What Happened: Cuban revealed in a recent podcast that he acquired the pass in the aftermath of selling his first business, MicroSolutions, for a whopping $6 million. 
He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DAVdTTgGcU">said</a> during the podcast that In a celebratory mood, he reached out to American Airlines to inquire about the lifetime pass, and upon confirmation of its availability, he immediately bought it for $125,000.
The pass, dubbed the AAirpass, was launched in the early 1980s, providing unlimited first-class travel for life. The price was determined by the buyer&#8217;s age at the time of purchase. 
"They're like, ‘What do you think you're going to do with all this money?' And I'm like, ‘I don't care about cars or houses, but boy, you know, I fly a lot for work, " he said during the interview.

"I got all that information, hungover as hell, and I signed up. Initially, it was $125,000 and then I upgraded it. I forget how much I paid, but it gave me almost unlimited miles for me and somebody else for the rest of my life," he added. 
At 32 years old, Cuban bought the pass, which is now estimated to be valued at around $300,000 today, after adjusting for inflation.
Following the demise of his father, Cuban transferred the AAirpass to a friend. However, American Airlines has since phased out the unlimited pass, terminating the program in March 2024.
Why It Matters: Despite his lavish spending habits, Cuban advocates for a frugal lifestyle, comparing it to that of a &#8220;college student&#8221;, and urges people to save money. 
The billionaire has been residing in the same house for the past 18 years and continues to drive the same cars. 
His impulsive purchase of the pass, which has significantly appreciated in value, underscores his knack for making shrewd investments, even when made in a state of inebriation.

Mark Cuban Drunkenly Bought A $125,000 Lifetime Flight Pass And Turned It Into A Profitable Investment

In his debut address to the United Nations General Assembly, Argentine President Javier Milei delivered a speech that raised eyebrows for its striking resemblance to a key scene from the popular TV show <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics">&#8220;The West Wing.&#8221;</a>
The similarities between Milei&#8217;s words and a monologue delivered by the fictional President Josiah Bartlet in the fourth season of the political drama have sparked discussions on whether the president&#8217;s speech was plagiarism or intentional homage, as <a href="https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/el-dia-que-javier-milei-plagio-en-la-onu-al-personaje-de-la-serie-the-west-wing-nid03102024/">reported</a> by La Nación.

Prominent Argentine journalist Carlos Pagni was one of the first to point out the connection, highlighting the close alignment between Milei&#8217;s speech and Bartlet&#8217;s monologue.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Milei&#8217;s Speech At The UN</h3>
During his 15-minute address, Milei delivered a passage that many have noted bears an uncanny resemblance to Bartlet's speech from &#8220;The West Wing.&#8221;
"We believe in freedom of speech for all; we believe in freedom of worship for all; we believe in free trade for all, and we believe in limited governments, all of them,&#8221; Milei said during last week&#8217;s speech. &#8220;And since in these times what happens in one country quickly impacts others, we believe that all peoples should live free from tyranny and oppression, whether it takes the form of political oppression, economic slavery, or religious fanaticism. That fundamental idea must not remain mere words; it must be supported by deeds, diplomatically, economically, and materially."
This echoes a near-verbatim passage from the series&#8217; 15th episode of season four. 
&#8220;We're for freedom of speech everywhere. We're for freedom of worship everywhere. We're for freedom to learn&#8230; for everybody. And as in our time, you can build a bomb in your country and bring it to mine, what happens in your country is my business.,&#8221; President Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen, said to his team in the Oval Office.
&#8220;That's why we're for freedom from tyranny everywhere, whether it takes the form of political oppression, Toby, or economic slavery, Josh, or religious fanaticism, C.J. That fundamental idea can't be met simply with our support. It has to be met with our strength. Diplomatically, economically, materially.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="El día que Javier Milei "plagió" en la ONU al personaje de la serie The West Wing" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/tFW6FpAUcv8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">A Strategic Choice Or Plagiarism?</h3>
The resemblance between the two speeches is hard to ignore. Santiago Caputo, Milei's controversial communications advisor, actively embraces his dedication to &#8220;The West Wing.&#8221;
As Argentine journalist Hugo Alconada Mon recently pointed out, Caputo has reportedly watched the entire series between seven and nine times. Caputo even suggested that new employees at his consulting firm, Move Group, watch the show as a condition for joining the company.
This isn't the first time Milei's speeches have raised suspicions. His inaugural address on December 10th also featured rhetoric that bore a resemblance to Bartlet's character. 
Standing before the Argentine Congress, Milei said: ·The challenges we face are enormous, but so is our capacity to overcome them,&#8221; words eerily similar to Bartlet's famous line, &#8220;Every time we think we've measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and realize that capacity may well be limitless.&#8221;
In another instance, Milei's national broadcast on April 22, where he proclaimed: &#8220;The era of the present State is over,&#8221; echoes a line from the show in which Bartlet's speechwriter Toby Ziegler says: &#8220;The era of big government is over.&#8221;
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Milei&#8217;s West Wing-Inspired Style</h3>
Milei's reliance on &#8220;The West Wing&#8221; may extend beyond mere rhetoric. Observers have noted aesthetic similarities between Milei's public appearances and the institutional style portrayed in the series, particularly the podiums used for his speeches—an element that his predecessors have largely avoided.
The president's admiration for the fictional Nobel laureate economist Bartlet is also worth noting, as both share a professional background in economics. 
Yet, the parallels end there. Bartlet embodies a progressive Democrat with strong support for public institutions, while Milei&#8217;s libertarian views stand in stark contrast, advocating for minimal government intervention.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Shadow Of Plagiarism Accusations Loom Over Argentina&#8217;s President</h3>
This is not the first time the Argentinian president has faced plagiarism accusations. 
Critics attacked Milei&#8217;s book &#8220;Pandenomics&#8221; for including several uncredited passages from authors like Gita Gopinath and Antonio Guirao Piñera. 
They also accused him of copying ideas from Austrian School economists like Ludwig von Mises and Murray Rothbard without proper citation in his columns. 
Milei defended himself arguing that as a &#8220;communicator&#8221; he isn&#8217;t obligated to cite sources in his writings.

Did Argentina's President Javier Milei Plagiarize 'The West Wing' In UN Speech?

Renowned author and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki recently expressed concerns over escalating global tensions and questioned the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40544194/robert-kiyosaki-kamala-harris-is-avocado-toast-her-lying-immoral-unethical-days-coming-to-an-end">current U.S. leadership&#8217;s strength</a>.
What Happened: On Saturday, Kiyosaki took to X to voice his concerns about the recent military actions by Israel and the potential for a global conflict. 
He questioned if this could be the start of World War III and urged his followers to be prepared.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">WWIII Israel just launched F35 to bomb Iran. Is this the start of WWIII? Are you prepared? This is what happens when we have weak leaders such as Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. As Jordan Peterson stated: "If you think tough leaders are bad…wait til you see the damage weak…
&mdash; Robert Kiyosaki (@theRealKiyosaki) <a href="https://twitter.com/theRealKiyosaki/status/1842441325435924835?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2024</a></blockquote>
<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>
</figure>
Kiyosaki also criticized the current U.S. leadership, referring to President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as &#8220;weak leaders.&#8221;

The entrepreneur expressed his support for Donald Trump, calling him a strong leader.
Why It Matters: Kiyosaki&#8217;s comments come amidst rising global tensions. His criticism of the current U.S. leadership and support for Trump highlight the ongoing political divide in the country. 
His reference to the military actions by Israel and the potential for a global conflict underscore the increasing concerns about global stability and security.
While Kiyosaki is known for his financial advice, his recent tweet indicates a shift towards more political commentary. His views on leadership and global security issues could influence his followers and contribute to the ongoing political discourse.

Robert Kiyosaki: 'We Need Strong Leaders, That Is Why I Support My Friend Trump For President'

Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, has a distinctive morning routine that avoids screen time for the first hour of the day. Recent neuroscience research indicates that this method could lead to smarter, healthier days.
What Happened: Bezos, unlike many CEOs, dedicates the initial hours of his day to non-digital activities. This routine, first unveiled in a 2018 speech at the Economic Club of Washington, includes reading the newspaper, savoring coffee, and having breakfast with family.
Bezos&#8217; partner, Lauren Sanchez, confirmed in a recent People interview that the couple adheres to a &#8220;no phones&#8221; rule in the mornings. Bezos is convinced that this slow, phone-free start enhances his energy and decision-making abilities throughout the day.
According to the report <a href="https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/jeff-bezos-says-the-1-hour-rule-makes-him-smarter-new-neuroscience-says-hes-right/90982121">by</a> Inc.com, neuroscience research backs Bezos&#8217;s claim. The Stanford Lifestyle Medicine Program suggests that limiting screen time, particularly in the morning, can yield significant health benefits.
Also Read: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/09/40760465/jeff-bezos-enforces-no-phones-in-the-morning-house-rule-says-partner-lauren-s-nchez-the-mor">Jeff Bezos Enforces &#8216;No Phones In The Morning&#8217; House Rule, Says Partner Lauren Sánchez: &#8216;The Mornings Are Just Us, For As Long As We Can&#8217;</a>
Overuse of screens has been associated with learning and memory issues, mental health problems, and even an elevated risk of brain-related diseases.
Maris Loeffler of Stanford Lifestyle Medicine advocates for adopting Bezos&#8217;s one-hour rule, proposing activities such as exercise, meditation, or reading as healthier alternatives to screen time. 
This approach aligns with Bezos&#8217;s belief in respecting personal rhythms and energy levels for a more productive day.
Why It Matters: The neuroscience-backed benefits of limiting screen time, especially in the morning, are becoming increasingly recognized. 
Bezos&#8217;s morning routine, which prioritizes non-digital activities, aligns with these findings and offers a model for other leaders to consider. 
The potential benefits of this approach, including enhanced energy and decision-making abilities, could have significant implications for productivity and overall well-being.
