McSki might be the most unusual McDonald’s on the planet.
McSki might be the most unusual McDonald’s on the planet.
Sitting directly on the Lindvallen slopes in Sälen, Sweden, this location replaces the drive thru with a ski thru. Skiers glide up in full gear, order burgers, fries, or hot chocolate, and slide right back onto the mountain without ever taking their skis off.
Opened in the mid 1990s, McSki became a cult winter icon, blending fast food with ski culture in a way that feels uniquely Swedish. Efficient, playful, and perfectly adapted to snow covered life.
Only in Sweden would grabbing a Big Mac feel like part of the downhill run.

Labor and progressive groups in California are calliwng for a major increase in the minimum wage, aiming to reach $30 an hour by 2030 in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. The push is being led by the Living Wage for All Coalition, which argues that current wages do not match California’s high cost of living.
Labor and progressive groups in California are calliwng for a major increase in the minimum wage, aiming to reach $30 an hour by 2030 in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. The push is being led by the Living Wage for All Coalition, which argues that current wages do not match California’s high cost of living.
Supporters propose a phased increase of about $1.50 per year, saying the plan is realistic due to expected economic activity from major upcoming events like the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, the World Cup, and the Super Bowl. They cite data showing that 75% of restaurant workers spend over half their income on rent, highlighting the affordability crisis.
However, small business owners and economists warn the increase could raise prices, reduce jobs, and lead to closures. California already has one of the highest minimum wages in the country at $16.50 statewide, with higher pay for fast-food and healthcare workers. A recent $20 minimum wage for fast-food employees has already been linked to price hikes and restaurant shutdowns.
The momentum is growing beyond Los Angeles. The city recently approved a $30 wage by 2028 for hotel and airport workers, and similar campaigns are planned for San Francisco and Alameda County. Outside California, New York City’s mayor-elect has also signaled interest in pursuing a $30 minimum wage by 2030.
While the movement is gaining attention, its long-term economic impact remains a point of debate.

The Trump administration has announced a new expansion of U.S. travel restrictions that includes three African countries: Niger, Mali, and South Sudan. The policy is part of a broader immigration and national security initiative aimed at tightening entry requirements for countries the administration says lack adequate vetting and identity-verification systems.
The Trump administration has announced a new expansion of U.S. travel restrictions that includes three African countries: Niger, Mali, and South Sudan. The policy is part of a broader immigration and national security initiative aimed at tightening entry requirements for countries the administration says lack adequate vetting and identity-verification systems.
According to U.S. officials, the restrictions primarily affect new visa applications and entry permissions, rather than imposing a complete ban on all travelers from these nations. Certain groups — such as lawful permanent residents, diplomats, and individuals with existing valid visas — may still be allowed to enter the United States under specific exemptions.
Supporters of the policy argue it strengthens border security and ensures better screening of foreign nationals. Critics, however, say the move disproportionately impacts African nations facing political instability and humanitarian challenges, raising concerns about fairness and global relations.
As with previous travel bans, the real-world impact will depend on how strictly the rules are enforced and whether the policy faces legal challenges or future revisions.

US President Donald Trump has filed a defamation lawsuit against the BBC, accusing the broadcaster of editing his 2021 speech in a way that wrongly suggested he encouraged violence.
Trump claims the BBC removed key remarks in which he called for peaceful protest, leading to reputational and financial harm. He is seeking up to $10 billion in damages under defamation and unfair practices laws. The BBC has issued an apology for the edit but denies any legal wrongdoing and says it will contest the case.

There are more empty homes in the world than homeless people.
There are more empty homes in the world than homeless people.
In advanced economies alone, roughly 10 percent of housing sits vacant. That equals about 42 million empty homes out of 426 million, according to the OECD. Meanwhile, homelessness affects hundreds of millions globally.
In the United States, estimates show anywhere from 28 to over 100 vacant homes for every single homeless person. China has millions of empty apartments. Large countries like Nigeria still face millions without stable shelter.
The problem is not a lack of buildings. It is access. Affordability. Distribution. Policy. Housing exists, but for many, it is completely out of reach.

Billionaires aren’t buying farmland for food.
Billionaires aren’t buying farmland for food.
They’re buying it for power.
Farmland gives the rich something stocks never can
control.
Control over water
control over production
control over federal subsidies
control over what gets built and what doesn’t.
While everyone watches tech the ultra wealthy are buying the one asset that never disappears
land.
It creates tax advantages
steady cash flow and protection during crises.
It feeds families retains value and becomes more important when everything else collapses.
This is not a trend.
It’s long term strategy.
Farmland isn’t just dirt.
It’s infrastructure and the wealthy know it.

Elon Musk has entered territory no individual has ever reached, becoming the first person in history to cross a $600 billion net worth — not through cash, but through ownership in companies reshaping the future.
Elon Musk has entered territory no individual has ever reached, becoming the first person in history to cross a $600 billion net worth — not through cash, but through ownership in companies reshaping the future.
The largest driver remains Tesla, where renewed confidence in AI-driven autonomy, energy storage, and long-term margin expansion has sent valuations soaring. With Musk’s wealth tied directly to equity and performance-based incentives, every major move compounds at scale.
SpaceX stands as another pillar, now widely viewed as the most valuable private company on Earth. Its dominance in global launches, rapid Starlink expansion, and deepening government and defense partnerships have pushed private-market valuations into once-unthinkable territory.
Then comes xAI, Musk’s artificial intelligence venture, rising quickly as capital floods into foundational models and AI infrastructure. As the AI arms race accelerates, so does the valuation of Musk’s broader tech ecosystem.
What truly separates Musk is leverage through ownership. His wealth isn’t diversified across mature assets — it’s concentrated in frontier industries where upside is exponential, not linear: electric vehicles, space, AI, energy, and global communications.
At $600 billion, this isn’t just personal wealth. It’s a global bet on a vision ambitious enough to redefine multiple industries at once.

U.S. President Donald Trump has filed a lawsuit against the British Broadcasting Corporation.
He accuses the BBC of:
- defaming him by presenting a manipulated statement from a speech he made before the January 6th attack on the Capitol,
- violating Florida's unfair trade practices laws.
For each of these acts, Trump is seeking $5B.
