Apple stock has had a lackluster 2024 so far — dropping over 13% since the start of the year. Even Jim Cramer said Tuesday that the Club’s “own it, don’t trade it” name is “hard to defend” nowadays. However, he argued that the market is getting Apple all wrong. Investor concerns about weakening iPhone sales in China are valid, but “people can’t look through the valley of the shadow of death” when it comes to the stock. The tech giant has time and time again proved the naysayers and bears wrong. Apple received another bout of negative press on Tuesday.…

The Biden Administration has announced it has adopted new minimum staffing rules for nursing homes. But the regulations appear to give facilities time to meet the requirements. Separately, the Administration also is requiring that home care agencies allocate at least 80 percent of their Medicaid payments to staff compensation. States would have flexibility to adjust the rules for small and rural home care providers. Nursing facilities that receive federal funding through Medicare and Medicaid (effectively all of them) will have to employ enough staff to provide at least 3.48 hours of daily care for each resident. That includes a minimum…

However, Powell did plead guilty in the criminal prosecution brought by the Fulton County district attorney for the election subversion plots in…
