The pandemic shows no sign of abating in the US, and thus, neither has remote working nor remote learning. And according to Business Insider, that's led to a boom in the 'office in a box' market, in which people install minuscule 'home' offices in the backyard. In a recent survey of just over 2000 American consumers, 54% of respondents said they would buy a tiny office. Among them, 62% said they'd purchase a backyard unit. 30%, reported that the ideal tiny office would fall between 200 to 299 square feet. In terms of pricing, 26% said they'd spend less than $8,000 on a backyard office unit, while 23% said they'd fork out between $10,000 to $19,999.
The NY Times reports that President Donald Trump has had more than $280 million in debt forgiven since 2010. According to Business Insider most of it was linked to money he owed lenders for the construction of a massive skyscraper in Chicago. Trump borrowed money for the Trump International Hotel & Tower from Germany's Deutsche Bank and Fortress Investment Group. Trump failed to pay the money bank. The lenders initially gave him more time. According to tax return records and loan documents viewed by the NY Times eventually Deutsche and Fortress forgave the debt.
A municipal worker in Commerce Township, Michigan, had to get 13 stitches just for trying to do his job. He was trying to move a Trump 2020 campaign sign, as it was violating a city ordinance. It needed to be a further nine feet away from the center of the road. Unfortunately, Business Insider reports the bottom of the sign was lined with razor blades. The homeowners said they weren't aware of the razor blades, but added they have recently had several Trump campaign signs stolen. It's not the first time people have attached blades to campaign signs. One TikTok video showed a Biden supporter doing the same--to prevent theft.
