Description:
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Department of Transportation held a joint hearing to discuss whether new regulations are needed for credit card reward programs and airline loyalty programs. Officials argue that for many consumers, the high fees and interest charged on travel rewards credit cards outweigh the value of the rewards and perks earned. Airline-branded credit cards can be much costlier than average cards, with annual fees as high as $650 and interest rates averaging more than 25% compared to no annual fees and about 24% for most cards. Loyalty programs are major revenue generators for airlines, with Delta earning $6.5 billion and Americans expecting 80% of revenue from loyalty members.

The bipartisan bill aims to increase air traffic controllers, improve safety standards, and make it easier for customers to get refunds for delayed and canceled flights. The bill addresses FAA oversight, requires new safety technology to prevent collisions, mandates cockpit voice recorders, and improves accessibility. It also requires airlines to pay refunds for long delays, prohibits fees for families sitting together, and increases fines for consumer law violations. The House will consider the bill next week.")

They did this experiment where they split up a photon using some fancy crystal mojo. And get this: the photon ended up cruising through both the past and the future at the same time! It's like time travel, but with a twist—'cause, ya know, there are always exceptions to the rule. But hey, it's still pretty darn cool to think about, right?
