Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman said on Monday that the U.S. should consider military intervention in Ukraine in defense of the country.

If you live in the West, you may have noticed in the post-COVID world a veritable deluge of creepy propaganda offering various explanations for surging heart attacks, strokes, and reproductive system damage.

Get ready to pay $10 for a tube of toothpaste! Prices on household goods is about to send a shockwave to consumers
Get ready for the $10 tube of toothpaste. Colgate-Palmolive Co (CL.N) CEO Noel Wallace said last week at an industry conference that the household goods maker sees its new Optic White Pro Series toothpaste as the type of premium product “vital” to its ability to raise prices, which will help drive profit growth this year.
