The Lead: Everything Is More Expensive

Inflation. I know you’re sick of hearing about it but it is still a very real thing. The Wall Street Journal reports that inflation hit a 3-decade high in October and that consumer prices rose 5.9%.

We thought we had record hikes in September with a 4% price increase but the chart just keeps pointing upward! So when will it level out? Not soon.

“I do think we’re moving into a new phase where inflation is broader and where things are going to get a little more intense,” Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives, told the Wall Street Journal. “Part of that reflects that [supply-chain] bottlenecks are not resolved going into the holiday season, when a lot of purchases get made, and that the economy is doing really well, so you have strong demand.”

Whatever the prices, consumers are here for it. Spending increased 1.6% annually in the third quarter.

More from the leaked Facebook memos. This time the documents show that the company knowingly allows plagiarized and stolen content to flourish on the site.

A leaked internal memo from a Facebook data scientist showed that users often try to create a following with posts that have gone viral before and that 40% of Facebook traffic in 2018 was stolen or repurposed.

Facebook decided not to take an aggressive route in taking these posts down because it feared litigation. Facebook says that it no longer takes this tactic and that it now identifies and proactively removes plagiarism.

A new study by Match.com shows that singles are looking for emotional intelligence more than physical attraction. Either that or they’re lying about it.

Match asked over 5,000 single people between the ages of 18 and 98 what they are looking for. For 83% of respondents, open-mindedness and emotional maturity was an important quality, compared to 78% that says physical attractiveness was important.

The study also showed that singles are looking to settle down. Only 11% said that they were looking for casual fun while 62% said that they were looking for commitment.

And how has the pandemic impacted their dating life? Most of them say that it hasn’t been a big deal. Only one out of four said that the pandemic has negatively impacted their game.

A new study shows that irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is often linked with anxiety.

IBS is a condition of nonstop stomach issues including pain, bloating and alternate constipation and diarrhea. Often patients are told that it is “all in their head” but a study from Cambridge University shows that people with IBS are likely to have six genetic differences, all with roles in the brain, which is linked to the gut. Gut health is directly linked to brain health and scientists hope that this research proves that IBS is very real and that patients who suffer from it deserve help.

Scientists say that approximately one in 10 people suffer from IBS and women are more likely to suffer than men.
