Climate change is making Americans crave soda to the tune of 100 million pounds of added sugar a year.
The United States is losing its sweet tooth because of global warming, according to a new study. Americans with less money and education drink more sweetened drinks and frozen desserts when the temperature rises. More than 100 million pounds of sugar is added to the nation's diet each year, compared to 15 years earlier, according to a team of researchers. The amount of sugar the average American consumes goes up when the temperature is between 54 and 86 degrees (12 and 30 degrees Celsius). The amount of sugar added to the average American is less than 2 grams. It is more than 15 grams at 86 degrees. According to the study in Monday's Nature Climate Change, appetites diminish and added sugar falls off.

You weren't crazy to think that the economy felt worse than it had in the last 3 years.
Economic headlines have been bad recently. The jobs report from July showed a collapse in hiring that was close to 80%, shattering the narrative that the economy was strong. There were just 22,000 jobs added in August. But what if it was the bottom of a secret, rolling recession that began in the year 2022. That is what one of the top minds on Wall Street thinks. Mike Wilson, Morgan Stanley's Chief U.S. Equity Strategist, says the August report is more confirmation of his primary thesis. Wilson's team wrote in a note published on the morning of September 8 that the economy has been weaker for many companies and consumers over the past 3 years than what the headline economic statistics like nominal GDP or employment suggest. The current, early-stage bull market has been, too, if a recession was masked, and Friday's weak labor report provides further evidence of our thesis that we are now transitioning from a rolling recession to a rolling recovery....

Why did she get literary fame?
The God of Small Things became an international sensation in 1997, marking a new wave of Indian writing in English. The New Yorker created a portrait of a group of people celebrating the 50th anniversary of India's independence. A younger generation of people was represented by a smiling Roy. Who could resist her? The God of Small Things was full of eccentric characters and inventive language. Many in India held Roy up as a model of the country's new, triumphalist incarnation, with its roaring economy and rising Hindu nationalism, exemplified later in the slogan "India Shining." She turned to writing critical, crusading essays about caste, class, religious violence, and the politics of power. She focused on the refugees of India as she put it in her 2010 essay....

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates on Sept. 17 That's the message from futures tied to the S&P 500's performance over the next 30 days. The index, also called Wall Street's fear gauge, is calculated in real time from the prices of options on the S&P 500 and reflects how much investors expect the market to swing. The spread between the next-month contract and the September contract is an extreme level by historical standards. The Fed meeting is on the same day as the September contract. The front-month contract trades at a slight premium to the cash index. "Cash is fair, but September is very low compared to October futures," wrote Greg Magadini in the weekly newsletter. The rate-cut expectation will keep markets steady as they approach the decision, as traders discount risk ahead of the Fed meeting....

After spending four months in prison for disobeying a committee subpoena, the White House adviser asked a federal appeals court to force the justice department to explain why it wouldn't defend his conviction. If granted by the US court of appeals for the DC circuit, the 13-page request would require the justice department to detail publicly when it would charge a presidential adviser who refused to comply with a congressional subpoena. If Democrats regain control of the House next year, they could issue subpoenas to Trump administration officials, which could have far-reaching consequences on separation of power issues. The public accounting could be a problem for the department as it would almost certainly have to confront the appearance that it quietly dropped the case because he was a senior adviser to the president.

The Supreme Court was asked to allow the government to stop spending money on foreign aid that was approved by Congress. The move came in response to a federal judge's ruling last week that requires the administration to spend the funds despite President Donald Trump notifying Congress that he intends not to. The case marks a clash over the power of the president to refuse to spend money that Congress has appropriated, as Trump has embraced a sweeping view of presidential power since taking office again in January. The case raises a grave and urgent threat to the power of the presidency, according to the new filing. There is a post called XPOST.
