ALPHABET’S AI Shakeup: Surprising Value Play Leaves Investors Stunned
— Alphabet, Google’s parent company, is now being called a surprising value pick as the artificial intelligence market changes fast. The tech giant owns businesses like Verily Life Sciences, Google DeepMind, and Fitbit — assets that don’t always show up in quarterly earnings reports.
Google Cloud now brings in almost 14% of Alphabet’s total revenue. But new competition from AI platforms like ChatGPT is putting pressure on Alphabet’s main advertising business. This has forced the company to change direction faster than it planned.
Alphabet is pouring money into new projects to keep up with these challenges. Some experts say investors are missing how well Alphabet can adapt as AI changes the way companies do business.
With fewer people visiting websites directly because of AI tools, Alphabet faces real risks — but also big rewards if it can adjust quickly. For conservative investors looking for value in big tech, this stock could be worth a second look.

California’s FAST FOOD Workers Set to Earn $20 per Hour: Triumph or Tragedy?
— California’s recent decision to increase the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 per hour, starting next year, has sparked debate. The state’s Democratic leaders have endorsed this law, recognizing that these workers often serve as the main breadwinners in low-income households. From April 1 onwards, these employees will enjoy the highest base salary in their industry.
Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom signed this law at a Los Angeles event filled with jubilant workers and labor leaders. He dismissed the notion that fast food jobs are merely stepping stones for teenagers entering the workforce as a "romanticized version of a world that doesn’t exist.” He argues that this wage hike will reward their efforts and stabilize an uncertain industry.
This legislation mirrors the growing influence of labor unions in California. These unions have been rallying fast food workers to demand better wages and improved working conditions.

Service Employees International Union International President Mary Kay Henry stated that this law is a decade-long effort involving 450 strikes statewide over two years. However, critics question whether such significant wage hikes could potentially hurt small businesses and result in
