Nueva York (CNN) — La diferencia entre el sueldo de un CEO y el de un empleado medio siempre ha sido enorme. Pero la llegada de la inteligencia artificial (IA) ya amenaza con exacerbar esa brecha, enriqueciendo a los directivos a expensas de sus empleados, según un nuevo informe de la AFL-CIO.La remuneración media de los CEO de las empresas del S&P 500 el año pasado fue de US$ 16,7 millones, el segundo nivel más alto de remuneración de ejecutivos de la historia, según el informe anual Executive Paywatch del grupo. (2021 fue el año más alto, con US$ 18,3 millones).La remuneración de los CEO cayó el año pasado en comparación con el año anterior, dijo Brandon Rees, subdirector de corporaciones y mercados de capitales de la AFL-CIO. “Sin embargo, no cayó tanto como los precios de las acciones, que es la vara de medición favorita de los CEO para medir su propio rendimiento”.Trabajadores del sector de alimentos en EE.UU. piden aumento de salario mínimo a US$ 20 por ...

DeMarcus Ware's Hall of Fame celebration will be part Dallas, part Denver

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

DALLAS (AP) — DeMarcus Ware won a Super Bowl as a Denver Bronco after setting a storied franchise sacks record with the Dallas Cowboys.There's little question the outside linebacker's Pro Football Hall of Fame celebration will be part Denver, part Dallas.“He accomplished what he accomplished as a Cowboy,” said former teammate Marcus Spears, Ware's fellow first-round pick with the Cowboys in 2005.“But to go to Denver and in that short period of time make such a huge impact, and Denver fans and people in that area remember him as a Bronco,” Spears said. “It just tells you about him.”Ware, the 11th overall pick out of Troy before Spears went 20th, was a salary cap casualty with the Cowboys in 2013 after compiling 117 sacks in nine seasons, three more than Hall of Famer Randy White's previous club record.With questions about age (32 at the time) and injuries, Ware joined Peyton Manning and the Broncos. Two years later, Ware sacked Cam Newton twice in Denver's 24-10 victor...

San Diego Planning Commission advances 10 pro-housing policies, but holds off on Senate Bill 10

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

SAN DIEGO – The San Diego Planning Commission voted unanimously to advance ten pro-housing policies to the city council in an effort to make housing more available to people of all incomes. The vast majority of public speakers who attended Thursday’s meeting had a comment about the implementation of Senate Bill 10.“The rent and price of homes send a message that I’m not really wanted here. SB 10 is a policy that we desperately need,” resident Marcus Helmer said.The commission was set to consider San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria’s Housing Action Plan and consider the role of Senate Bill 10, which would make it easier for cities to zone for smaller, low cost developments of up to 10 units per parcel.“It is highly unlikely that the over development resulting from SB 10 will result in more affordable housing, but rather just increase the profits of developers,” resident Mandy Havlik said.

Deadly flooding in China worsens as rescues continue and areas downriver brace for high water

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

BEIJING (AP) — Heavy rain and high water levels on rivers in northeastern China were threatening cities downstream on Friday, prompting the evacuation of thousands, although the country appears to have averted the worst effects of the typhoon season battering parts of east Asia. Hebei province surrounding the capital Beijing on three sides issued alerts for several of its cities. The province of Heilongjiang to the north, was evacuating entire villages in anticipation of life-threatening deluges. Rescue work remains underway. At least 20 people have been reported killed in Beijing’s outer suburbs and another 27 were missing following the weekend storms that quickly overwhelmed drainage systems. Beijing usually has dry summers, but had a stretch of record-breaking heat this year that broke dramatically over the weekend with almost a week of constant rain and drizzle. Power was knocked out in areas, public transport and summer classes were suspended and citizens of the metropolis of m...

Another harrowing escape puts attention on open prostitution market along Seattle’s Aurora Avenue

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

SEATTLE (AP) — A vanload of church volunteers drove along a main street in north Seattle one night last month with sandwiches, water bottles and blankets for homeless people. They didn’t find any — but they did see dozens of barely clothed women walking along the road or leaning into traffic to advertise their services.“Just woman after woman after woman,” recalled one of the volunteers, Stuart Jenner. “We prayed for them as we drove south.”About two hours later, the FBI said, a man posing as an undercover police officer shackled and abducted a woman from the area after soliciting her to engage in prostitution. He then drove her hundreds of miles to his home in southern Oregon, where he locked her in a makeshift cell in his garage — a cinder block cage with a metal door, charging papers say. She escaped by punching the door, bloodying her knuckles, until it broke.Authorities say they are looking for more possible victims after linking the man, Negasi Zuberi, to violent sexual ...

A feud between a patriarch and a militia leader adds to the woes of Iraqi Christians

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

IRBIL, Iraq (AP) — Iraqi Christians have struggled since the Nineveh plains, their historic homeland of rolling hills dotted with wheat and barley fields, were wrested back from Islamic State extremists six years ago.Although the threat from IS has receded, some towns are still mostly rubble. There are few inhabited homes or basic services, including water. Many Christians have given up and left for Europe, Australia or the United States. Others are trying to follow.Now the shrinking religious minority that was also violently targeted by al-Qaida before the rise of IS has been rocked by yet another crisis in the form of a political showdown between two influential Christian figures — a Vatican-appointed cardinal and a militia leader, with land and influence at the core of the drama.The dispute adds to the woes of Iraqi Christians, who have often felt sidelined in the political order. A 2021 visit by Pope Francis provided a glimmer of hope that quickly faded.Meanwhile, the Christian ...

Biden’s inaction on death penalty may be a top campaign issue as Trump and DeSantis laud executions

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

CHICAGO (AP) — Capital punishment could emerge as a major campaign issue in the U.S. presidential race for the first time in 30 years, with top GOP rivals Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis already one-upping each other by touting tougher, more far-reaching death penalty laws.Meanwhile, death penalty foes are poised to draw attention to what Democrat Joe Biden hasn’t done as president: He has taken no action on or even spoken about his 2020 campaign pledge to strike capital punishment from U.S. statutes.A demonstration that the death penalty issue is far from academic came Wednesday when federal jurors in Pittsburgh voted to impose a death sentence for Robert Bowers for killing 11 people in a synagogue. It’s the first federal death sentence handed down during Biden’s presidency.Trump, who restarted federal executions after a 17-year hiatus and oversaw 13 in his final six months as president, wasted no time making capital punishment a focus in his current, third presidential run.

On 3rd anniversary, Beirut port blast probe blocked by intrigue and even the death toll is disputed

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

BEIRUT (AP) — Three years after Beirut’s massive port blast, attempts to prosecute those responsible are mired in political intrigue, the final death toll remains disputed and many Lebanese have less faith than ever in their disintegrating state institutions.As the country marks the anniversary Friday, relatives of some of those killed are still struggling to get their loved ones recognized as blast victims, reflecting the ongoing chaos since the Aug. 4, 2020 explosion. The blast killed at least 218 people, according to an Associated Press count, wounded more than 6,000, devastated large swaths of Beirut and caused billions of dollars in damages.Among those not recognized as a blast victim is a five-month-old boy, Qusai Ramadan, a child of Syrian refugees. His parents say he was killed when the explosion toppled the ceiling and a cupboard in his hospital room, crushing him. The parents have been unable to get the infant added to the official death list, a move that could have made t...

Mega Millions players will have another chance on Friday night to win a $1.25 billion jackpot

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 13:31:05 GMT

Lottery players will have another shot Friday night at an estimated $1.25 billion Mega Millions jackpot that has been growing ever larger after months without a grand prize winner.There have been 30 straight drawings since the last time someone won the game’s jackpot on April 18. That has enabled the prize to steadily grow until it is now the sixth-largest ever in the U.S.The jackpot is so hard to win because of the 1-in-302.6 million odds of matching the numbers on five white balls and a separate mega ball. The odds are better to win smaller prizes, which start at $2.The $1.25 billion prize is for a sole winner who is paid over 30 years through an annuity. Those who opt for a lump sum payout would get an estimated $625.3 million.A big slice of those winnings would go toward federal taxes, and many states also tax lottery payouts.Mega Millions is played in 45 states, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.The Associated Press
