On June 12, 2023, a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket successfully lifted multiple satellites to orbit, among them the W-1 belonging to California-based Varda Space Industries. On board was a small, automated laboratory and over the course of the eight-month mission, it successfully made a specific form of ritonavir, a drug commonly used to treat HIV. That might not sound like a big deal, but it’s a crucial proof of concept for a technique that paves the way for manufacturing drugs in orbit that can’t be made on Earth.

Stocks are on a historic tear, but market experts maintain there’s still plenty of potential for a painful stretch for investors this year. JPMorgan Chase’s top global equity strategist Dubravko Lakos-Bujos told clients this week to brace for the possibility of a “flash crash” which could “come one day out of the blue.” Lakos-Bujos cited the “high degree of crowding” which could lead to a major “momentum unwind” from fund managers if there’s a domino effect of repositioning , an unwinding which would translate to noticeable declines in stock indexes.

Although there are close to nine million job openings in the United States, there are an estimated 6.3 million unemployed, which means there are more jobs than workers—a ratio of 1.4. With such a vast number of opportunities available, it seems incredulous that so many are still out of work, but this can be explained by a multitude of factors, one major factor being the costly skills gap. Employers, desirous of filling a position, are struggling to hire for their role because the labour market—the job applicants for the position—do not have the required skills, or worst of all, they actually do possess these competencies but fail to effectively demonstrate or make reference to them within their resume and application. Both sides lose in the process, inflation continues to rise, and the situation for job seekers continues to spiral. See how to refresh the skills on your resume at the link in the bio.

As politicians and partisans debate how to make sure Social Security has a secure financial future, one topic regularly brought up is the idea of delaying the retirement age. It sounds reasonable. Just have everyone wait an extra year or two. How could that hurt? Well, it’s actually a bait-and-switch suggestion that, if fully and honestly expressed, would really say, “All you have to do is wait maybe an extra two years and your payments will be about 7% less than they should have been otherwise.” Read more at the link in the bio.
