Cuando Gloria Richards no está actuando en escenarios fuera de Broadway, viaja con los hijos de multimillonarios, a menudo a quienes nunca conoció, por todo el mundo. Richards pasa la mitad de cada año cuidando a los ultra ricos para complementar sus ingresos entre espectáculos fuera de Broadway y de una sola mujer en la ciudad de Nueva York y Virginia. El concierto le paga hasta $167 por hora, más vuelos y alojamiento cubiertos, dice, lo que significa que cuidar a los hijos del multimillonario representa entre el 80% y el 90% de sus ingresos anuales. “Podría ser niñera durante, como, dos meses en la parte superior del año, y estaría bien el resto del año”, le dice Richards, de 34 años, a CNBC Make It. “Lo que me alimenta es poder trabajar tan de cerca con estos niños”.

Camping this summer? Now you can eat like a king

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:58:26 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — If your idea of a meal while camping is something quick and bland — maybe a power bar, a can of beans or some instant noodles — food writer and critic Chris Nuttall-Smith suggests something else, just as quick but also tasty.An avid backpacker, hunter, skier and wilderness paddler, Nuttall-Smith has devised ways to bring a gourmet experience to the outdoors. With minimal fuss around a fire, he prepares spice-kissed lamb kebabs, restaurant-quality risotto, fire-baked pecan sticky buns and more.He’s put it all in “Cook It Wild: Sensational Prep-Ahead Meals for Camping, Cabins, and the Great Outdoors,” from Clarkson Potter, an imprint of the Crown Publishing Group. There are 75 recipes for lunches, dinners, desserts, snacks and, necessarily, cocktails, published just as the summer outdoor season kicks off.“My goal in making this book was to develop, to create, to share recipes that didn’t need to be eaten outside. They’re great enough that you can eat them at home, but ...

Walker: Price control measures do more harm than good

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:58:26 GMT

With high grocery, household and energy prices, everyone has felt the pinch of inflation. The cost of rent, automobiles, travel, concerts and clothing have surged. To stifle some of this price swelling, the Biden administration has released executive orders and initiatives calling for more competition or price reductions on everyday goods or services. Even policymakers have proposed implementing price controls.Prices are a pillar of a functioning economy, sending signals daily throughout the market informing businesses and consumers what to make, how much to produce, and how much to purchase. In a coordinated effort of basic supply and demand, the market self-regulates, producing and selling the right amount of goods and services.Businesses did not randomly decide in 2021 to squeeze their customers; they are not to blame. As the economy began to recover from a global pandemic, demand for many products soared and supply could not keep up, with no help from supply-chain issues, oversp...

Editorial: IRS wants to branch out, start worrying

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 12:58:26 GMT

All the new funding that congressional Democrats and President Joe Biden showered on the IRS has the tax agency thinking big. That should worry taxpayers.The Wall Street Journal reported last week that IRS officials hope to get into the tax preparation business, in direct competition with TurboTax and firms such as H&R Block. The goal is to create a “Direct File” system on the agency’s website that would be free to those who use it.“This is a service that I think the government ought to provide,” Kitty Richards, a progressive tax expert and former Treasury official, told the Journal. “It’s problematic that we instead provide it through these private corporations that prey on people and extract profits from taxpayers that are just fulfilling that civic duty.”Yet most of these private outfits already do simple tax returns for free. It’s also worth noting that the IRS has a dismal record of customer service, particularly when taxpayers attempt to reach the agency by phone. And thos...
