These stats are according to a Pew Research Center national survey conducted in January 2024, which Stacker used to analyze partisan divides on public...
If you're a small business owner, there's a good chance you practically live at your job. But can you live in a commercial property? The short answer is—it depends. Local zoning laws and insurance coverage make a big difference depending on your location. It's usually wise not to live in a commercial property unless your lease includes living on premises.

But the tariff threats, reversals, deals, and reprisals are leaving consumers, businesses, and economists experiencing whiplash about what's going to happen next. Tariffs are import taxes on foreign goods, but it's not foreign com...
If the developer building a six-story apartment complex in Salt Lake City out of shipping containers had it to do over again, he says he probably wouldn't.

Loneliness affects more Americans than diabetes or obesity. Being lonely can be more dangerous, too. It increases the risk of premature mortality by 26%, according to researchers cited in the surgeon general's report, and is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. The problem of...

Dear Council, You have inherited a city on the brink, with a lot of problems (we're broke!). And, of course, with a lot of potential, if we keep our priorities straight. But as you consider levying a staggering bond tax ($460 million) on residents, you are also inexplicably deciding to launch a task force to "explore both monetary and non-monetary reparations options." To be paid with what money? Not to mention each member of this 'task force' will be paid $2500 for their...

She was born in May 1962, and the estimated amount of her benefit is $1280/month. Her work income last year was $5,616; however, mine was about $65,000.
