Our Director Professor Jane Falkingham CBE was a guest on #BBC Talking #Business discussing the challenges of an #ageing #population (from 05:05).
The global #lifeexpectancy has doubled in just over 100 years. That's a great achievement and unlocks opportunities for a growing #generation of #consumers and #workers, many of them #grandparents and great-grandparents. But it comes with challenges... How to pay for the #health and #welfare needs of this ageing population?

While our domestic #food supplies are not likely to be effected significantly by any environmental ripples from El Niño, much of our imported food may be...
So, little relief from the #costsoflivingcrisis!

On Fox Business…, TFG called for setting this #tariff at 10% “automatically” for all countries, a move that experts warn could lead to higher #prices for #consumers throughout the #economy & could likely lead to a #GlobalTradeWar.

#Trump vows massive new #tariffs if elected, risking #global #economic #war
Even in the face of growing personal legal peril, Trump summoned his top economic advisers to his private golf club in NJ for a 2-hr dinner last Wed night to map out a #trade-focused economic plan for his presidential bid.

#ISP complain that listing every fee is too hard, urge #FCC to scrap new rule
The requirement that #ISPs list all their monthly fees "would add unnecessary complexity and burdens to the label for #consumers and providers and could result in some providers having to create many labels for any given plan," the #Broadband industry groups said in the filing on Friday.

Good day!
Today we talk about #repairCafes: a "new" reality that is slowly but surely emerging from the ashes of the idea of being #consumers of #technology.
These places of #aggregation foster a #smarter and #ecological use of technology, by substituting the #culture of the #throwaway #tech with that of the #DIY repair #lab.
And we #transform from #techIdiots who buy>consume>buy(again) to #hardware #powerUsers who learn how to #fix their own devices by themselves!

Cuz I know a lot of people that want that to happen!
I hope @maxschrems of @noybeu takes a closer look at #Zoom's #ToS.
