Mark Zuckerberg is having his Bill Gates moment
Sitting in a glass-walled conference room nicknamed The Aquarium, Mark Zuckerberg runs a cost/benefit analysis on the topic that has brought him headlines this year: Mixed martial arts. In many ways, he’s having his Bill Gates moment. Like Zuckerberg, Gates dropped out of Harvard to build a historically significant tech company. Like Zuckerberg, he produced fans, enemies and antitrust concerns on his brusque, relentless way to the top.And then, in his 40s, Gates flipped the script. Then there’s “Cambridge Analytica or ‘evil Mark’,” he says, referring to the company’s data harvesting scandal.Which brings us to the Mark of today.

US home sales on pace for the worst year since 1993
Sales slumped in October and prices continued to climb, as mortgage rates surged last month and inventory remained extraordinarily low. Home sales remained at 13-year lows as buyers competed for the few available homes on the market and continued to push up prices. Home sales were down in lower priced categories – under $750,000 – due to lack of inventory and sales grew in higher price categories where there was more inventory. All-cash sales accounted for 29% of transactions in October, unchanged from September but up from 26% in October 2022. “The lack of inventory and higher interest rates really hitting the home sales market,” said Yun.

See the full report: https://oci.wi.gov/Documents/Consumers/Market_Analysis_Final_Report_Aug2022.pdfSee the release: https://www.wispolitics.com/2023/office-of-the-commissioner-of-insurance-releases-new-study-analyzing-network-adequacy/<br><b><i>Top headlines from the Health Care Report…</b></i>— COVID-19 activity is once again increasing in Wisconsin, according to hospital figures and wastewater monitoring by state health officials. That means private citizens and businesses with an EV charging station can’t collect payment from someone who uses their current. One Republican-authored proposal circulated yesterday would allow private businesses to sell electricity by the kilowatt-hour at all EV charging levels without being regulated as utilities. Created by the $1 trillion sweeping infrastructure law in 2021, NEVI includes $5 billion for EV charging network expansion.
