| Good morning, it's Nathan wishing you a happy summer Friday! |
| 💉 A few months ago, I wrote about a then-nascent trend of companies offering incentives – like donuts or free beer – to customers to get a COVID vaccination. |
| At the time, I asked a few experts whether the government should just pay people to get vaccinated. At least one ethicist said he'd be all for it, though he predicted it might generate some opposition. |
| We're about to see if it works. President Biden on Thursday endorsed states and localities using federal money to pay newly vaccinated people $100 each. |
| On to our ... |
| 💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: If you binge-shopped online during the pandemic, you weren't alone. But those binges are starting to fade. Amazon on Thursday reported revenue in the range of $106 billion to $112 billion for the third quarter, less than the $119 billion analysts had expected. The reason? People are spreading out their spending a little more since they're out and about. A little more on travel and dining, a little less on shopping. |
| 📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss: |
| 1. Walmart and Sam's Club employees are required to wear masks again in COVID hotspots. Customers? Not yet. |
| 2. Got any dog food from the brands Triumph, Evolve, Wild Harvest, Nurture Farms, Pure Being and Elm? They might be subject to a new recall. |
| 3. This couple's kids want them to hand over their inheritance early. Is that appropriate? |
| 4. These five tips will help you keep your phone safe from hackers, scammers and nosy advertisers. |
| For example, you can turn on a setting that will erase your data after 10 failed passcode attempts. |
| Warning: This option is not recommended for anyone with little kids around who might start fumbling with your phone! |
