$82 million. As we go to air this morning, that's a rough estimate for the amount of cash going up in smoke as Jeff Bezos marries his bride at a star-studded Venetian affair. Eighty-two million. And I thought my wedding was an expensive affair! Everything's relative, of course. $82 million represents just a fraction of the total wealth of the world's third-richest man. To try and appreciate the true magnitude of his $300 billion estimated wealth, I put his finances into a scale that I can better understand. If every Jeff Bezos dollar was one second —so that one minute was $60, and one hour was $3600— depleting Jeff Bezos' wealth would take more than 11,000 years. You're gonna think I have a particular thing for Jeff Bezos. I honestly don't. I was one of those bagging his fiancée's space flight a few weeks ago, but I swear it's nothing personal. I would just be so embarrassed to be spending that much money to get married in a place where it would appear a reasonable number of locals don't want me. I've spent enough time in media to know it's hard to properly gauge these things from the outside. Protestors say Bezos has bought half the city and that his bash is an obscene example of money trumping every other concern. But the local mayor says that anyone blocking up the canals in protest or hanging out with banners and signs represents a tiny minority of Venetians, and actually the vast majority of Venetians are happy to welcome Bezos, his big bucks, and his blockbuster mates. Consumption in these European hotspots is clearly becoming a greater sore point. The backlash to the Bezos wedding recalls the protestors in Barcelona who've been going around and squirting visitors with water guns to protest the impact of overtourism on housing and infrastructure in the city. Whether it's Italy, Spain, or Portugal, qualities that made coastal European cities so romantic and alluring in the first place are swiftly destroying them in the Airbnb, cheap flights, and mass-tourism age. Would you still go? I can confess to having visited both Venice and Barcelona during backpacking trips fifteen odd years ago, but I'm not sure I'd return anytime soon. Increasingly as I travel, I'm a little repulsed by the crowds at the absolute hottest spots. And I'm aware that like a driver complaining about a traffic jam, I'm part of the problem. The Mayor of Venice who has so staunchly defended the Jeff Bezos wedding says he's embarrassed by the protests. The wedding is a great source of much-needed revenue for the city, he said. Italy's tourism Ministry put out a report suggesting it could provide the city a tourism boost of more than $1 billion dollars. It's a great way to put Venice on the map. I dunno. I'm not sure Venice needs to be put on the map! Maybe I'm wired differently but watching the scenes in Venice has, if anything, made me less likely to go back.

Economists have claimed for years that Americans are prospering more than ever before. So why do so few people feel that way?Philip Pilkington, author of the forthcoming The Collapse of Global Liberalism, joins Oren to discuss how these economic metrics are obscuring real problems. The two challenge the assumption that consumption is an unalloyed good and discuss the need to think about our nation's economic health in a way that centers human flourishing.Further reading:“The Limits of Consumption Deepening: Why Consuming More Makes Us Poorer” by Philip Pilkington

NGI's Patrick Rau, senior vice president of research and analysis, checks all the boxes in sharing his expertise about the outlook for U.S. natural gas in a sitdown with NGI's Carolyn Davis, managing editor of news.  Where are domestic natural gas prices headed into 2026? Pat says it's not one thing or another, as rising demand is ahead as more LNG export capacity comes online, and as industrial and residential/commercial sector consumption climbs.  E&Ps are likely waiting for bullish natural gas price signals to spur activity in the second half of 2025, but they will be accelerating their activity, according to Pat.  The odds of adding natural gas infrastructure, both midstream and by utilities, also is discussed as hyperscalers compete to build a plethora of data centers.

Chinese consumers have exhibited robust purchasing power for home appliances and intelligent electronic products during this year's "618" shopping carnival, a weekslong sales event that culminates on June 18, as e-commerce platforms have ramped up efforts to offer steep discounts and shopping subsidies amid the country's pro-consumption policies, such as the consumer goods trade-in program.中国消费者在今年为期数周、高潮在6月18日的618购物节期间，对家电和智能电子产品展现出了强劲购买力。在消费品以旧换新等国家促消费政策的背景下，电商平台加大打折力度并提供购物补贴。Experts said the midyear promotional event is expected to play a vital role in further stimulating people's purchasing appetite, expanding domestic demand and promoting the recovery of the consumer market, given that boosting consumption is a top priority for China's economic growth this year.专家表示，鉴于提振消费是今年中国经济增长的重点任务，618大促活动有望在进一步刺激消费需求、扩大内需、促进消费市场复苏方面发挥重要作用。Data from e-commerce giant JD, which initiated the "618" shopping extravaganza, showed that the turnover, order volume and number of shoppers placing orders on the platform all increased more than 200 percent year-on-year in the first hour of the shopping gala, which officially started at 8 pm on Friday.电商巨头京东是618购物节的发起者。数据显示，在5月31日晚8点618购物节开启的第一小时内，京东平台的成交额、订单量和下单用户数均实现超2倍同比提升。More than 20,000 brands saw their sales surge more than threefold year-on-year during this hour, and the turnover in the electronics categories soared over 380 percent from a year earlier, JD said. Meanwhile, over 500 home appliance and home lifestyle brands recorded over tenfold growth in turnover compared with the previous year.京东数据显示，在本轮促销开启一小时内，超2万个品牌成交额同比增长超3倍，电子品类成交额同比飙升超380%。与此同时，超500个家电家居品牌成交额同比增长超10倍。The transaction volume of Apple, Xiaomi, Midea, Huawei and Haier each surpassed 100 million yuan ($13.9 million) very quickly within the first hour of the promotion, while the sales of more than 10,000 popular electronic products such as gaming laptops, high-end earphones and intelligent robots skyrocketed over tenfold year-on-year.在促销开启一小时内，苹果、小米、美的、华为、海尔等品牌成交额迅速突破1亿元（约合1390万美元），游戏笔记本、高端耳机、智能机器人等超1万款电子爆品成交额同比增长超10倍。According to Tmall, Alibaba Group's business-to-customer platform, 217 brands saw their sales exceed 100 million yuan between 8 pm on May 16 and 9 pm on Friday.阿里巴巴集团旗下企业对消费者平台天猫的数据显示，在5月16日晚8点至5月17日晚9点期间，217个品牌成交额突破1亿元。The turnover of home appliances, mobile phones and digital products participating in the country's trade-in program increased 283 percent compared with last year's Singles Day shopping festival, a weekslong sales event that peaks on Nov 11. The overall sales of home appliances, home decorations and electronic gadgets registered double-digit growth year-on-year, Tmall said.参与全品类以旧换新活动的家电、手机、数码产品成交额较去年双11购物节增长283%。天猫数据显示，家电、家装、电子产品整体成交额同比增长两位数。Consumers increasingly prefer to snap up bargains via livestreaming on the e-commerce platform, with the turnover from 419 livestreaming rooms surpassing 10 million yuan as of 9 pm on Friday.消费者越来越倾向于通过电商平台的直播间抢购打折商品，截至5月17日晚9点，419个直播间成交额突破1000万元。"Consumption has become the main driving force boosting China's economic growth, and the June 18 online shopping extravaganza is pivotal in terms of unleashing consumers' purchasing potential, driving domestic demand and shoring up the economy amid external uncertainties," said Wang Yun, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Macroeconomic Research.中国宏观经济研究院研究员王云表示：“消费已成为拉动中国经济增长的主要动力。在外部不确定性的背景下，618购物节在释放消费者购买潜力、拉动内需和支撑经济方面至关重要。”Stephan Patton, from the United States, who works for a multinational company in Shanghai, recently bought a new refrigerator and outdoor sports equipment on Chinese e-commerce platforms. "I am delighted to stock up on products that I am keen to purchase without spending too much money during the shopping festival."史蒂芬·帕顿（Stephan Patton）来自美国，在上海一家跨国公司工作。他最近在中国的电商平台上购买了一台新冰箱和一些户外运动装备。他表示：“我非常高兴能在购物节期间，不用花太多钱就囤积到我渴望购买的商品。”He said there are some pretty decent discounts if people can catch them in time, and he enjoyed a discount of about 20 percent with shopping coupons.他说，如果人们能及时抓住机会，就能获得相当不错的折扣，他使用购物优惠券享受了大约20%的折扣。China's efficient delivery services have also greatly impressed him. "Most items can be delivered to my doorstep the next day after placing an order. It is quite convenient."中国高效的配送服务也给他留下了深刻印象。“大多数商品下单后第二天就能送到家门口，非常方便。”This year's Government Work Report listed vigorously boosting consumption and expanding domestic demand across the board as a top priority among the major tasks for 2025.今年的《政府工作报告》将“着力扩大国内需求，推动经济实现良性循环”列为2025年重点工作任务之首。The country announced a raft of measures to expand the scope of the consumer goods trade-in program in January, increasing funding from 150 billion yuan last year to 300 billion yuan through ultra-long-term special treasury bonds, and offering subsidies for more home appliances and electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets and smartwatches.国家在1月份宣布了一系列扩大消费品以旧换新范围的措施，通过超长期特别国债将去年1500亿元的资金规模增加至3000亿元，并为更多家电和电子产品（如智能手机、平板电脑和智能手表）提供补贴。"The policy measures to encourage trade-ins of consumer goods have not only motivated consumers' enthusiasm to purchase and bolstered the sales of consumer electronic products and household appliances on online marketplaces, but also propelled the popularity of green and energy-saving commodities," said Mo Daiqing, a senior analyst at the Internet Economy Institute, a domestic consultancy.国内咨询机构互联网经济研究院的高级分析师莫岱青表示：“鼓励消费品以旧换新的政策措施不仅激发了消费者的购买热情，促进了消费电子产品和家用电器在线上市场的销售，也推动了绿色节能商品的普及。”Mo noted that Chinese consumers have become more value-conscious and are inclined to purchase premium products with high cost-effectiveness, emphasizing that retailers should step up investment in technological innovation, elevating the quality of products and upgrading supply chains to attract more young shoppers.莫岱青指出，中国消费者变得更加重视价值，倾向于购买高性价比的高端产品。她强调，零售商应加大科技创新投入，提升产品质量并升级供应链，以吸引更多年轻消费者。Hong Yong, an associate research fellow at the Chinese Academy of International Trade and Economic Cooperation, said that online retailers have made promotional methods simpler this time, with direct price cuts being a preferred strategy, which is conducive to improving users' shopping experience.商务部国际贸易经济合作研究院副研究员洪勇表示，此次线上零售商使促销方式更加简化，直接降价成为首选策略，这有助于改善用户的购物体验。"Chinese consumers are more rational now and carefully review their needs, with an emphasis on the quality and value of products, as well as after-sales service," Hong said, adding that more efforts should be made to provide customized goods and services to satisfy diversified demands, while improving logistics networks and driving brand upgrading and product innovation.洪勇说：“中国消费者现在更加理性，会仔细审视自己的需求，更注重产品的品质、价值以及售后服务。”他补充道，应加大力度提供定制化的商品和服务以满足多元化需求，同时完善物流网络，推动品牌升级和产品创新。robust/rəʊˈbʌst/adj. 强健的；坚固的；强劲的gala/ˈɡɑːlə/n. 盛会；演出ramp up上升；增加trade-in折价旧物；以旧换新online retailers线上零售商 after-sales service售后服务

Bitter sensing protects Drosophila from developing experience-dependent cocaine consumption preference The Journal of Neuroscience Cocaine use disorder (CUD) is a highly heritable condition for which there are no effective treatments. Testing the many human genetic variants linked to CUD requires a cost-effective, genetically tractable model. This study showed that bitter-sensing neurons prevent cocaine self-administration in Drosophila. Disrupting Drosophila bitter perception enables a model for experience-dependent cocaine preference. The findings underscore the potential of Drosophila as a crucial tool for identifying the genetic mechanisms underlying CUD, aiding in the discovery of new therapeutic targets, and contributing to the development of effective treatments for this highly heritable disease.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

Welcome to New England Legends From the Vault – FtV Episode 117 –  Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger lurk the streets of downtown Manchester, Vermont, searching for a demon vampire. In 1793, the body of Consumption victim Rachel Harris Burton was exhumed after three years in the ground. Her vital organs were cut from her chest and burned in a nearby forge. Those ashes were then fed to Isaac Burton's second wife, Hulda, in an effort to break the vampire's spell. When there's a plague, monsters are never far behind.

The story of New England's vampires begins with a scourge whose tragic trail is visible in cemeteries throughout the region. Incredible as it may seem today, vampires preyed upon their not-so-distant ancestors. Vampire attacks increased dramatically during the eighteenth century and remained the leading cause of death in New England throughout the nineteenth century. But this unseen killer did not resemble the clever Count Dracula of Bram Stoker's imagination. Indeed, it was so small that it was undetectable. New England's authentic vampires, you see, were pathogenic microbes (“bacteria with fangs,” as a nurse once described them). Prior to the twentieth century, a diagnosis of consumption (as pulmonary tuberculosis was called at that time) was a virtual death sentence.My Special Guest Is Michael Bell Michael E.

Reserve Bank of India is likely to deliver another rate cut—third in a row—in its upcoming June meeting, while the government has provided a tax cut in the Budget, meeting the material conditions for a consumption boost.

Two women, two continents, two stories whispered in the shadows of history. One, a mystic in war-torn Europe, said to channel voices from the stars—secrets that could have changed the fate of nations. The other, a siren of the Amazon, her voice enchanting the elite until rumors of blood and immortality stained her legacy. Maria Orsic, vanished without a trace in 1945. Camille Montfort, buried in 1896—or so they say. But what if the truth isn't that simple? What if the past still echoes with their footsteps, or something darker?

Episode 112: In this episode, Kate is joined by journalist Mariah Blake to discuss her new book, ‘They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals.' Together, they trace the buried history of PFAS and forever chemicals—synthetic chemicals first developed in the 1930's—that would go on to saturate everything from firefighting foam to clothes to town water supplies, with devastating consequences for public health.The conversation centers on the story of Hoosick Falls, New York, where a small community uncovered widespread PFAS contamination in their drinking water and began a fight for justice. Kate and Mariah explore the regulatory ignorance that allowed this to happen, the role of DuPont and other chemical giants in shaping the response, and how communities are rising to meet the crisis.They discuss how outrage becomes a catalyst for environmental change, and how ordinary people—farmers, military families, and local organizers—are now on the front lines of the PFAS fight. Through the lens of Blake's reporting, this episode is a powerful look at what happens when chemical convenience collides with human health, and how resilience grows in even the most contaminated ground.Find Mariah:They Poisoned the World: Life and Death in the Age of Forever Chemicals by Mariah BlakeInstagram: @mariahcblakeX: @mariahcblakeSupport Kate: PatreonSubstackPayPal-Leave a One Time TipResources MentionedPlastic List created by Nat Friedman: https://www.plasticlist.org Plastic: A Toxic Love Story by Susan Freinkel Dr. Max Liboiron — https://civiclaboratory.nl Time Bombing the Future by Rebecca Altman Richard Rhodes Making of Atomic BombRelated Episodes:Episode 85 with John Vaillant on Consumption, the Petrochemical IndustryEpisode 82 with Jay Owens on Dust, Testing the Bomb, Our Polluted WorldEpisode 83 with Helen Czerski on the OceanSponsored By:REDMOND REAL SALT: Use code MINDBODYSOIL_15 for 15% off at Redmond.lifeAffiliates:
