Perhaps best known for penning the multi-award winning feature Green Street, Dougie Brimson’s writing career began in 1996 when, after 18 years service with the Royal Air Force, he co-authored the best-selling non-fiction soccer book, Everywhere We Go.
Everywhere We Go is a groundbreaking insider’s account of British football violence which remains an era-defining bestseller till today.

A new AP-NORC poll reveals a growing generational divide when it comes to artificial intelligence. While 60% of U.S. adults say they’ve used AI to search for information, it’s adults under 30 who are going far beyond search—using AI tools to brainstorm, plan meals, draft emails, and even assist with work tasks like coding or image editing.
In fact, nearly 74% of young adults report using AI to find information at least some of the time. And when it comes to generating ideas, 60% of that group turns to AI, compared to just 20% of adults over 60.

Germany is regaining economic momentum. In a bold show of confidence, 61 companies—ranging from industrial powerhouses like Siemens to financial giants like Deutsche Bank—have pledged over $733 billion (631 billion euros) in investment over the next three years.
The announcement comes just months after Chancellor Friedrich Merz took office and vowed to revive Europe’s largest economy. Germany has endured two consecutive years of contraction and faces another stagnant year ahead. But Merz’s administration is tackling the crisis head-on, launching a $550 billion infrastructure fund and promising major reforms in digitization, bureaucracy, and investment policy.
On Monday, the chancellor met with executives under the “Made for Germany” initiative, which brings together companies committed to fueling domestic growth. The investments span a wide range of sectors and include both new developments and upgrades to infrastructure, research, and digital capability.

The American job market is showing more signs of a slowdown. In June, employers posted 7.4 million job openings, down from 7.7 million in May, according to the Labor Department’s latest Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS). It’s another signal that hiring appetite is softening as businesses navigate lingering economic uncertainty and rising costs.
Hiring fell slightly, and the number of workers quitting their jobs—often seen as a sign of confidence in finding better opportunities—dropped to its lowest level since December. Layoffs, however, remained largely unchanged and below pre-pandemic levels, indicating that while companies may be hesitant to hire, they’re also not rushing to cut staff. Continue reading US Job Openings Fall to 7.4 Million in June as Labor Market Continues to Cool
In a bold and controversial move, JPMorgan Chase has begun slapping massive new fees on fintechs for accessing consumer banking data—charges that could fundamentally reshape the financial technology landscape.
For years, fintechs have relied on consumer data from traditional banks to power services like money transfers, budgeting, and investment tracking. Companies like Plaid and MX have built billion-dollar businesses by acting as bridges between banks and up-and-coming financial apps. Historically, banks—including JPMorgan—provided this data access for free.
Not anymore. Continue reading JPMorgan’s Data Fee Bombshell Could Cripple Fintechs—and Reshape the Future of Open Banking
The U.S. dollar rallied sharply against major currencies on Monday following news of a trade deal between President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which eased fears of a full-blown trade war. The agreement slashed proposed tariffs on EU imports from 30% to 15%, bringing relief to investors and triggering a broader shift in global currency sentiment.
The euro, which initially jumped in Asia trading, reversed course and fell 0.81% to $1.1642—its biggest one-day drop since May. Analysts suggested the turnaround reflected a belief that the deal was heavily skewed in favor of the U.S., restoring investor appetite for dollar-denominated assets. As Macquarie’s FX strategist Thierry Wizman put it, “This isn’t a divorce—it’s marriage counseling. The U.S. is re-engaging with its allies.” Continue reading Dollar Surges After Trump–EU Trade Pact Eases Global Market Tensions
Elon Musk has announced that Tesla and Samsung Electronics have entered into a $16.5 billion chip deal, sending ripples through both tech and financial markets. The deal, which had been previously hinted at by Samsung but kept under wraps due to client confidentiality, will see Samsung manufacture Tesla’s upcoming AI6 chips at its new facility in Taylor, Texas.
Samsung’s stock jumped nearly 7% following the announcement—its highest since September of last year—while Tesla shares also edged up in U.S. premarket trading.
“This is a critical point,” Musk wrote on X. “I will walk the line personally to accelerate the pace of progress.” He also hinted that the actual value of the deal may far exceed the initial $16.5 billion estimate, calling it “just the bare minimum.” Continue reading Elon Musk Confirms $16.5 Billion Tesla Chip Deal with Samsung
Intel Corporation is undergoing a major transformation. In an effort to bounce back from years of slipping market share and missed opportunities, the once-dominant chipmaker is laying off thousands of workers and scaling back global operations.
CEO Lip-Bu Tan, who took the helm with a mandate to turn things around, announced that Intel will end the year with 75,000 core employees—down from 99,500 just a year ago. This 25% workforce reduction is part of what Tan calls “hard but necessary decisions” to boost efficiency, eliminate redundancy, and increase accountability at every level of the company.
The cuts won’t stop at staffing. Intel is also scrapping previously announced projects in Germany and Poland and relocating its assembly and test operations in Costa Rica to larger, lower-cost facilities in Vietnam and Malaysia. While Costa Rica will retain some corporate and engineering functions, it’s a clear sign of consolidation. Continue reading Intel Slashes Jobs and Projects as New CEO Tries to Revive the Chip Giant
