Imagine having to work 6 days a week 🫢

Yeah me neither.

While other countries are looking to shorten work weeks, the government of Greece has passed legislation to enable a 6 DAY WORK WEEK for certain industries.

According to the Guardian, It will be optional for workers, who can work 48 hours instead of the typical 40 hours. Those who opt in can choose between working an additional two hours a day or an extra eight-hour shift and will receive 40% extra pay to compensate for the overtime.

Elon’s doing things again…

Elon’s SpaceX is looking to bring Starlink’s service directly to mobile devices. If they’re able to successfully pull this off, this will mean you should be able to get cell signal in remote locations all around the world and stay connected as long as you’re a paying subscriber.

This would be a great step in the right direction as traditional cellphone carriers rely on towers, and still have limited coverage as the services is limited to locations where they have towers.

They are expected to launch this year with a text only service and in 2025 expand to calls, data and IOT.

The FDA has now approved a new treatment for Alzheimer's

Eli Lily announced that the FDA has approved their Kisunla drug as a treatment for early symptomatic Alzheimers disease.

According to the results from the clinical trial sessions, about 70% of patients were able to stop the drug after 18 months of treatment, which seems quite promising.

It is important to note that the drug is intended for patients with mild cognitive impairment or those in the early stages of the condition.

The bad news however is that its rumoured to cost about $32,000 for a year’s worth of treatment.

Okay this isn’t actual news, but I couldn’t see this alone, so here goes…

So this is the tale of Lawrence Ripple. He grew so tired of his marriage that one day in the heat of an argument, he told his wife he would rather go to prison than stay in the same house with her.

Surely he’s not serious Yemi….he’s just upset right?

WRONGGGG!!

Lawrence actually upped and left his house, and went to the bank. He handed a note to a bank teller demanding $2,924 in cash (damn that such a specific number) and letting them know he had a gun. After he was given the money, he went took a seat in the lobby, and said to the guard “I’m the guy you’re looking for - arrest me“ (well I’m paraphrasing, but you catch my drift)

Quick subtle reminder that this is an actual true life story……..that um….ACTUALLY happened…

Lets get back to it. A few moments later, law enforcement arrived on the scene and arrested Lawrence.

Fast-forward to court day, his lawyers argued he had multiple bypass heart surgery in 2015 and suffered from depression that went undiagnosed. Regardless he plead guilty and got sentenced to…

6 months of house arrest 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️
