<p>Singapore Airlines has been ranked as one of the world&#8217;s top airlines for decades.</p>
<p>But it hasn&#8217;t all been plain sailing. At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, passenger capacity for the airline plummeted from 3.4 million monthly travelers to just 11,000.</p>

<p>Fast-moving wildfires have wreaked havoc across Los Angeles in recent weeks. Following the outbreak of the Hughes fire, the structural toll of the January wildfires now exceeds 16,000. Early estimates place the economic toll of the fires between $250 billion and $275 billion. Now, property insurers in the state are facing a historic payout, an estimated $40 billion.</p>
<p>Several major property insurance companies, including the state&#8217;s largest insurer, State Farm, announced pullbacks in coverage in recent years. Some have restricted underwriting in high-risk ZIP codes, others have pulled out of the state all together. Homeowners who have lost their home insurance are largely turning to what is called the &#8216;insurer of last resort&#8217;, the California FAIR Plan.</p>

<p>The launch of President Trump&#8217;s meme token was met with mixed reactions among the crypto community. On one hand, Trump allied with crypto backers on the campaign trail, promising to cut back on legal challenges brought against crypto businesses and promote innovation in the United States. His launch of a meme coin was a sign he still cared about crypto. On the other hand, the crypto community just recovered from the implosion of 2022, including the collapse of the centralized exchange FTX. Since then, there have been major developments in mainstream adoption, like the launch of spot bitcoin ETFs in U.S. markets. Trump&#8217;s new cryptocurrency sparked fears it could stall the recovery of crypto’s image, and concerns about how the president might get richer as investors poured into Trump’s coin.</p>

<p>Think about the apps you use on your phone every day. Now imagine if you could combine all of those programs into a single, standalone app. A one-stop shop to socialize with friends, order food, pay rent, or even consult with a doctor — known as the “super app.”</p>
<p>Perhaps the most prominent example of the super app is Tencent’s WeChat. While super apps have flourished in Asia, their adoption in Western markets, including the U.S., has been slower due to a variety of reasons. Find out why: https://youtu.be/LryZ79zHUgs&#8230;</p>
