In this third year of the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are burned out, quitting their jobs in record numbers, and reconsidering the place of work in their lives.
As The Atlantic article proclaims:
If the American theocracy of work is to be dismantled, it won’t happen by just changing jobs or attitudes. It will require a fundamental transformation in the social system that dictates which institutions we derive fulfillment from.
Whether you agree or disagree, work has its place in our life as a meaningful institution.

“Once granted this worldview," Maslow [Abraham Maslow was the son of Jewish-Ukrainian immigrants] crucially argued, “everything that the authoritarian person does is logical and sensible… We can easily see for ourselves if we can only imagine ourselves in an actual jungle.” To speak of love, kindness, and cooperation in such a situation, Maslow noted, would be absurd. “If the world is jungle-like for an individual, then the authoritarian is perfectly justified in all his suspicions (and) hostilities.”
To Vladimir Putin, life is sort of a jungle.

The Lacey Act (16 U.S.C. 3371 et seq.), first enacted in 1900 and significantly amended in 1981, is the United States' oldest wildlife protection statute. The Act combats trafficking in illegally taken wildlife, fish, or plants.
And this guy – an Oregon man named Darren Drake – is in big trouble. He has pleaded guilty in federal court to illegally importing and exporting hundreds of live scorpions from and to contacts in Germany without obtaining an import-export license from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Drake faces up to one year in prison, three years supervised release and a $100,000 fine when he's sentenced later this year.

Is it really about McDonald's values?
#BoycottMcDonalds had become a trending Twitter topic, and the Golden Arches ultimately decided to fold. Kempczinski said the company will continue to pay its Russian employees.
When a company decides to pull out of a country is it because revenues are imploding? People are suffering? Customers are boycotting your brand? Or, just no other choice than to get out?

Looking ahead, the company needs to continue launching new products and more efficiently acquire new customers while also evolving how it operates as a global firm. If it does that, it has a shot to finally realize its vision of becoming a successful global financial super app.
Read the interview with Revolut's CFO Mikko Salovaara.
A little bit about Mikko, considered one of the youngest CFOs of a global company:
I’m from New Jersey originally. I grew up on the East Coast of the United States. I joined a firm called 3G Capital when I graduated from school. I worked there in investments in the private- and public-equity sides of 3G’s business. Then went to work at Kraft Heinz, one of the portfolio companies for 3G. I did that in Asia—out of China and then out of Singapore. Then I moved to Chicago, returned to 3G, and then my wife and I moved to London. I worked briefly with Elliott Management, the hedge fund, and then joined Revolut.
