The poll indicates a 5% drop in confidence since the start of the full-scale invasion, with declines across all demographic groups. The article also notes increased trust in other institutions like the police and judiciary. The failed Wagner Group rebellion and ongoing challenges in the war are highlighted as factors contributing to the decline in military confidence.

The Clarke family from Berkshire has significantly altered their shopping habits due to a 40% rise in grocery bills since 2020.

The family now focuses on meal planning, reducing food waste, and teaching their children about budgeting, using tools like the Olio app to donate unused items.

Self-gifting messaging is set to dominate Black Friday ads
The article discusses the growing trend of self-gifting during Black Friday and the holiday season, with brands like Oura, Hydrow, P.F. Candle Co., and Teleties adapting their marketing strategies to cater to this behavior. Industry experts note that self-gifting is becoming increasingly popular as consumers balance personal and family needs, with many taking advantage of holiday deals for personal purchases.

Nearly two-thirds of workforce in UAE admit they're 'quiet quitting'
The UAE leads the Middle East and North Africa in workforce engagement, with 27% of employees engaged and thriving, according to Gallup's 2023 survey. Despite this, 61% of UAE employees are 'quiet quitting,' mirroring global trends. The UAE's low daily stress levels and government well-being initiatives, such as the National Strategy for Well-being 2031, contribute to this engagement. Experts suggest that focusing on 'quiet quitters' could easily boost engagement. The UAE's job market is also viewed positively, with 59% of workers believing it's a good time to find a job. Regionally, the picture is less optimistic, with high levels of disengagement and daily anger.

How US gun culture stacks up with the world
The United States has a unique gun culture with the highest rate of civilian gun ownership globally, according to the Small Arms Survey. With 120 guns for every 100 Americans, the country outpaces others in gun-related deaths, including suicides and mass shootings. Constitutional rights to bear arms in the US contrast with other countries that have successfully implemented gun reforms, such as Australia, New Zealand, and the UK, leading to significant reductions in gun violence. Despite the high rates of gun violence, US political reform on stricter gun laws remains stagnant, with a divided public opinion and political landscape.

When will America legalize marijuana nationwide?
The landscape of marijuana legalization in the United States has dramatically changed, with 24 states fully legalizing it and 38 allowing medical use. Despite scientific evidence showing marijuana's benefits and non-addictive nature, financial incentives have been more persuasive to lawmakers. California led the way in 1996, followed by Colorado and Washington in 2012. Public opinion has shifted, with a recent Gallup Poll indicating 70% of American adults support full legalization. President Biden has taken steps to review marijuana's Schedule 1 status and pardoned federal simple possession convictions, acknowledging the racial disparities in drug law enforcement. However, with a divided Congress and some states still resistant, nationwide legalization seems distant.

Why Americans Hate Their Jobs; Fake Email Jobs, Meaningless Work
American workers are increasingly disengaged, with only 30% feeling fully engaged at work, according to Gallup. The decline in job satisfaction is linked to a lack of meaning in work, with many employees feeling their jobs are 'fake email jobs' or 'bullshit jobs' as described by David Graeber. Research indicates that job satisfaction is higher when employees find their work meaningful, with poor management often contributing to feelings of uselessness. The trend has led to a rise in self-employment as individuals seek more meaningful work. Employers are urged to create more meaningful work environments to combat declining engagement.

The survey's anonymity allowed participants to express their true beliefs, contrasting with traditional face-to-face surveys that may induce preference falsification. The study highlights the historical and contemporary significance of Zoroastrianism in Iran, its role in national identity, and the political and social implications of these findings. The results challenge stereotypical views of Iran as a predominantly Shia nation and suggest a complex landscape of religious and secular identities.

What’s the happiest country in the world? Spoiler: it didn’t win fairly
The World Happiness Report, which ranks countries based on residents' self-assessments of life satisfaction, has been criticized for exhibiting a Western bias and focusing on economically prosperous nations while ignoring historical contexts of colonial exploitation. Critics argue that the report overlooks income inequality and cultural differences in the perception of happiness. The report's methodology, which relies on Gallup surveys, excludes certain populations and regions, potentially impacting the representation of marginalized communities. The rankings also fail to account for the interconnectedness of one group's well-being with another's suffering, as seen in the histories of colonial exploitation by countries like Belgium and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Violent crime surges by double digits in states that legalize cannabis: pot-growing gangs from Mexico, China, Armenia, and Russia turn areas into a 'Wild West of weed,' agents say
States that have legalized recreational cannabis, such as California, Alaska, Colorado, and Oregon, have experienced significant increases in violent crime rates, according to advocacy group Smart Approaches to Marijuana. The group's data suggests a rise in crime rates up to 29 percent, although researchers have not directly linked the increase to marijuana. Law enforcement agencies across the US have reported criminal gangs from countries like Mexico, China, Armenia, and Russia infiltrating the cannabis market. Oklahoma, which allows medical cannabis, is also facing issues with illegal pot farms linked to transnational criminal groups. The Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs Control has shut down over 1,000 illegal farms and made numerous arrests. The article also discusses the negative impacts of cannabis use, including mental health problems and substance abuse, and shares personal stories of individuals adversely affected by cannabis.

Enhancing the employee experience as a strategy to prevent burnout
Employee burnout is a growing crisis recognized by the World Health Organization as a result of chronic workplace stress. Companies can combat this by enhancing the employee experience, which includes interactions with colleagues, business systems, policies, and the work environment. Improving the employee experience can lead to increased productivity, reduced absenteeism, and higher revenues. Strategies to enhance this experience involve fostering a supportive workplace culture, open communication, employee recognition, and work-life balance. Personalized learning and development opportunities are also crucial. Measuring the employee experience through surveys and utilizing HR technology can help organizations understand and improve it. Culture Amp's Regional Director of People Science, Bobby Melloy, emphasizes the importance of day-to-day experiences and the role of leaders in modeling cultural norms.

A Pakistani court sentences opposition leader Imran Khan to 10 years in prison
A Pakistani court has sentenced former Prime Minister Imran Khan to ten years in prison for leaking state secrets, a decision confirmed by his party, the Movement for Justice of Pakistan (PTI). This is Khan's second conviction, following a three-year sentence for corruption. The verdict comes just days before the general elections, from which Khan has been barred due to his legal issues. The court also sentenced PTI Vice President Shah Mehmood Qureshi to ten years. PTI plans to appeal, claiming the trial was conducted illegally. The case centers on a speech by Khan in which he allegedly revealed a confidential document. The trial has faced criticism for denying the accused contact with family and party members, and for lack of media access. Despite his legal troubles, Khan remains Pakistan's most popular politician. The electoral authority has banned Khan and other PTI leaders from participating in the upcoming elections, leading to accusations of censorship and manipulation.
