Due to Covid stress, extended lockdowns and frankly too much sourdough bread making, 61% of U.S. citizens were victims of weight gain during the past 24 months. This ground-breaking ruling provides relief for millions of wheat-enhanced workers, although employers’ responsibilities are still being fleshed out. For those who gained weight during Covid even if not from sourdough but from focaccia, ciabatta, panettone or brioche, the ruling mandates that employers must accommodate this protected class by providing ovens, bread-making stations and warming trays at work, along with a variety of unsalted and salted butters.

Declining Birthrates Mandate More Procreation or Revised 2047 Succession Plans

this will have disastrous consequences for global labor markets. We at Frederickson Partners are diligently searching for creative ways to turn the tide, beyond the usual playing Marvin Gaye and opening a bottle of wine which worked wonders for an older generation.

We believed that the adoption increases were due to the “hoomans” feeling bad for the animals and wanting to provide them with nicer homes.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made it easier for all sorts of employees to complete most of their work without actually paying attention to what they’re doing or even thinking. People used to joke that a trained monkey could do their jobs. Now with the right AI setup, millions of tech workers, customer service agents and even pediatricians have put their pets to work.

Future studies will confirm this as a win-win: the pets are less bored now that they’re writing code, negotiating deals and diagnosing ear infections over Zoom instead of that tedious ball chasing and nap taking, and the owners feel less guilty about their secret Netflix daytime addictions. With Bridgerton’s second season hitting the little screen, it’s actually better if the “hoomans” are not catching up with Season 1 while on Zooms, if you know what we mean.
