With little debate or fanfare, Thailand’s senate passed a bill in mid-June to legalize same-sex marriage. When the law goes into effect later this year, Thailand will become the first country in Southeast Asia and the second in Asia after Nepal to do so. Taiwan, a self-governing democratic island that China considers a renegade province, also legalized same-sex marriage in 2019.Thailand’s actions are notable against the backdrop of an unfortunate global trend of opposing LGBTQ+ rights and supporting harsh, discriminatory anti-gay laws. This is particularly true in Asia and Africa. Last year, Uganda passed a draconian anti-gay law, leading a…
Bank of America’s 2024 High Net Worth Americans Private Banking Study found that Gen Z and millennial investors are increasingly turning away from traditional stocks and bonds and toward alternative investments.PlanAdvisor said the survey, which surveyed 1,007 high-net-worth Americans with at least $3 million in investable assets, found that 72% of investors ages 21 to 43 believe it’s no longer possible to earn above-average returns from traditional stocks and bonds alone.

To the Editor:Regarding “To serve his country, President Biden should withdraw from the race” (editorial, June 30):Joe Biden is an extraordinary man, and his record of service to the country he loves is proof of that. Being President has clearly been the pinnacle of that service.But it’s time for Biden to square his ego and realize that the same altruism and passion that got him to the White House must now lead him to the sidelines. The stakes are too high, his candidacy too risky.To stay would be to repeat the tragic miscalculation of another good soldier, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.Joe,…
When I announced I was retiring from The Oregonian after 43 years and six months, editorial leadership graciously offered to throw me a farewell party with cake and drinks.I passed.Instead, I asked for what I thought would be a more fitting farewell: to write a letter of thanks to my readers and to the people for whom I have written over my long career.Though I never met most of my newspaper readers, we formed bonds that I will miss when my articles no longer appear in The Oregonian or OregonLive.Over the years, I have read every letter and email you…
WASHINGTON — Alan Lichtman, a historian who has accurately predicted the outcome of nine of the last 10 presidential elections, argued Saturday that a transition away from President Joe Biden could mean a loss for Democrats in the 2024 election. Lichtman, the American University professor, rejected growing calls from political pundits and Democratic activists for the 81-year-old Biden to withdraw from the presidential race after his disastrous performance in last week’s debate with former President Donald Trump, a key moment that has raised new questions about Biden’s age and his ability to serve a second term.”This is a huge mistake.…
I’m not a big fan of trends. They come and go so quickly that they’re not worth paying attention to. Fickle fads aren’t my kind of obsession. Instead, I usually focus on what looks like a lifelong love affair. That being said, I’m always curious to see what people on the other side of the rat race are chasing, and my usual online and tons of bar observations helped me make guesses and came up with this list. So, when I set out to find the three trending drinks, it was a very interesting adventure that took me down a…

Investors are bracing for a possible presidential election upheaval following President Joe Biden’s prime-time debate gaffe last week.The worry is that there are a number of unknowns at the top of the Democratic field if Biden withdraws under intense pressure from big donors and rank-and-file lawmakers.”It’s very hard to avoid the fact that President Biden is no longer a favorite in this election,” Kim Wallace of 22V Research told me in Friday’s Morning Brief (video above). “The path forward is up for debate for Democrats. Realistically, there’s just no way this is going to go smoothly, but they have a…
