>Gerard Barron, Chief Executive Officer of The Metals Company, said deep sea mining can help reduce U.S. reliance on foreign critical minerals as policy support accelerates.

Iowa lost more than 41,000 people ages 45–64 since 2020 — a group central to the state's workforce, tax base, and caregiving system.

Why it matters: Iowa is losing experienced workers and caregivers just as its aging population needs more of both.

By the numbers: Iowa's 45–64 population fell 5.3% — from about 778,900 in April 2020 to 737,300 in July 2025 — according to an Axios analysis of U.S. Census Bureau estimates released last month.

• The decline was larger than the national decrease of 3.2% but smaller than the Midwest's 6.2% drop.
• Meanwhile, Iowa's population age 65 and older grew 13.1%, to nearly 650,000.
• The number of Iowans younger than 18 fell 3%, while the state's overall population grew 1.5%, to nearly 3.24 million people.

For decades, the global ideal of masculinity was simple: bigger, tougher, and more rugged. Then K-pop changed everything.

In this video, we explore how South Korea's entertainment industry reshaped the modern definition of manhood, replacing traditional macho ideals with a softer, more polished, and highly groomed aesthetic.

From BTS and luxury fashion brands to skincare, beauty standards, and the rise of the female gaze, this transformation didn't happen by accident. Why do Korean men spend more on skincare than men anywhere else in the world? Why did K-pop idols become the faces of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel? And why has the West started adopting many of the same beauty standards?

The answer lies in economics, culture, and one of the most powerful consumer groups on Earth.

In regards to news that CBS was cancelling Late Night with Stephen Colbert, Scott went on and on about how the show lost money. Here is one of the many times he made this claim.

"It isn’t the end of Colbert. It’s the end of late-night TV. Colbert’s Late Show reportedly has been losing more than $40 million a year for CBS, with a budget of $100 million per season and about 200 employees."

However, if Scott had taken the time to understand the TV business, he would have realized that Colbert was generating profit. As entertainment industry analyst Evan Shapiro wrote: "My analysis shows a $102 million profit"
