The Sunni Central <keyword id="6410560" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="waqf">Waqf</keyword> Board on Tuesday decided that it will not file a review petition against the Supreme Court's verdict on the <keyword id="186591" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ayodhya-dispute">Ayodhya dispute</keyword>, its chairman Zufar Farooqi said. The important meeting of the board, attended by seven of the eight members, decided not to file a review petition against the apex court's decision, he said. Six members present were of the view that review petition should not be filed, Farooqi said. He said the board was yet to decide whether to accept a five-acre land given by the apex court for building a mosque in <keyword id="6354931" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ayodhya">Ayodhya</keyword>. The members feel that they need more time to decide on the matter and also ensure that it is appropriate as per the Shariat, Farooqi said. The Supreme Court, in its verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi title case on November 9, said the entire 2.77 acres of disputed land should be handed over to the deity Ram Lalla, who was one of the three litigants in the case.

Sunni Central Waqf Board to not file review petition against SC verdict on Ayodhya dispute

A Waqf is a body recognized by Muslim Law, the Sharia, which owns and manages properties donated for a religious purpose. They are regulated earlier under the Waqf Act of 1954, and now under the Waqf Act of 1995, approved by the Indian Parliament. <keyword id="1037861" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Waqf-Boards">Waqf Boards</keyword> have perpetual succession and they have power to acquire and hold property. In the <keyword id="6354931" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ayodhya">Ayodhya</keyword> title dispute⁠— Ram temple versus Babri Masjid⁠— there are two Waqf Boards involved. One of them represents the Sunni sect and the other represents the Shia sect. The Sunni Waqf Board has spearheaded the claims of the Muslim community’s appeal from 1960s. In 1961, the state government had seized control of the disputed site through the Faizabad court verdict. The Sunni Waqf Board wanted control over the mosque and the removal of the idols inside, which were reportedly placed under the mosque’s dome in on December 22, 1949. The <keyword id="48834" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Allahabad-High-Court">Allahabad High Court</keyword> ordered in 2010 that the disputed land should be divided into three parts and one part should go to the Sunni Waqf Board⁠— the other two parts must go to the Hindu sides represented by Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla Virajman (the deity). But the Waqf Board wants the entire land and the mosque to be restored as it was before its demolition in 1992. Shia vs Sunni The Shia Waqf Board has claimed ownership of the disputed land, not the Sunni Waqf Board. Babur, who is said to have built a mosque in the disputed site, was from the Shia sect among Muslims. However, the Shia WAQF Board has supported the construction of Ram temple at the site where the mosque (<keyword id="43572" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Babri-Masjid">Babri Masjid</keyword>) stood earlier. In return, the Shia Waqf Board has demanded that the government must give an alternative site for the mosque construction.

Business Insider's Grace Kay <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-tesla-payday-reckoning-2024-6">has the full rundown on what's at stake</a> and how it could play out.On one side sits large investment firms that feel the package is a tad too rich for their blood. They also point to Musk's chummy relationship with some Tesla board members (like his brother) for why the package shouldn't get approved.And they're not alone. A Delaware judge <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/judge-strikes-down-elon-musk-tesla-compensation-pay-package-2024-1">voided the plan in January</a>, deeming it an "unfair price."On the other side are Musk fans, of which there are many. Retail investors hold roughly 44% of Tesla's shares, the highest mark among the 10 largest companies in the S&amp;P 500.From their perspective, the pitch is simple: Trust in Musk. The billionaire is a lightning rod for controversy, but he's turned Tesla's stock into a rocket ship — 2024 aside — making them rich. And for many shareholders, that's all that matters.<div type="image" title="elon musk walking" height="1500" width="2000" msid="110976188" hostid="261" sizebytes="70714"></div>The lead-up to today's results hasn't been pretty.Earlier this year, Musk <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/news-today-january-12-elon-musk-tesla-board-ultimatum-2024-1">gave investors an ultimatum</a>.

Elon Musk's payday drama comes to a head today

He says AI can tell your politics and sexuality by reading your face. Is he right?

More than a century-old religious dispute⁠— the first case was filed in 1885⁠— became a land title suit is awaiting the final word from India’s Supreme Court, which is expected to give its verdict in the Ram Temple-Babri Masjid (mosque) dispute in <keyword id="6354931" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ayodhya">Ayodhya</keyword> very soon. The Hindu sides contend there should be a temple for Lord Rama in the 2.7 acre land because one was destroyed for construction of the <keyword id="43572" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Babri-Masjid">Babri Masjid</keyword> in the 16th century. The dispute continued escalating until December 6, 1992 when the mosque was demolished by those who wanted a temple. As it stood at the Supreme Court, there are 50 parties in the case but the broad issue is whether there should be a temple or a mosque in the disputed site or should the land be divided among the sparring parties as ruled by the Allahabad High Court in 2010. 
 <div type="Youtube" id="-tpuk6l1GVE" title="What is the Ayodhya Dispute?" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-tpuk6l1GVE/mqdefault.jpg"></div>



 The Allahabad High Court divided the Ayodhya title into three equal parts between the Nirmohi Akhara, Lord Ram the deity represented by Triloki Nath Pandey (an RSS volunteer and Vishva Hindu Parishad functionary), and the Sunni Waqf Board. The appeals at the Supreme Court are against this verdict and the contentions of all 50 parties to the case can be subsumed in the claims of the three primary parties to the case who got parts of the land in the High Court case. Ram Lalla Virajman Interestingly, the reference to Ram Lalla Virajman is to the deity of Lord Rama, represented by a human, legally called ‘next friend’, Trilok Nath Pandey, a member of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. Both in India and the UK courts, there are legal precedents that have accepted deities as juristic entities in the past. The primary claims of Ram Lalla are as follows: <ul><li>Decree of declaration stating that the entire site (building and adjacent area) belongs to the deity.</li><li>Perpetual injunction against the defendants, prohibiting them from interfering in any manner in the construction of a new temple under the trusteeship of the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyas.</li><li>The representative of Ram Lalla is opposed to the division of the land title as it holds that the deity is indivisible.</li></ul>Nirmohi Akhara The Nirmohi Akhara is a math (a monastery) for ascetic devotees of Lord Rama. The Akhara claims to be existence since at least 1400 AD, according to some accounts, and that it has been managing the temple much before the construction of the mosque. With the current appeal at the Supreme Court, the Akhara wants the management and control of the temple back in its hands. For that, the Court has to first agree that a temple can be built there. The Akhara only came into the national spotlight in 1959 when it moved the court against the transfer of control of the disputed site to the state government. That 1959 lawsuit was borne out of incident on December 22, 1949 when a set of Hindu idols were placed under the dome of the Babri Masjid. But the Akhara has claimed that those idols were always there. <ul><li>stay the operation of the High Court's judgment that granted the three-domed structure to the Sunni Waqf Board and Shri Ram Virajman</li><li>Allow pooja (worships and rituals) of Lord Rama at the site and bar anyone from removing the deities as directed by the Supreme Court in the 1993 judgement.</li></ul>Gopal Singh Visharad Gopal Singh Visharad is an individual who moved the Faizabad court in 1950 demanding his right to worship at the disputed site saying his ancestors had been doing so before the mosque was established. Later that year, another appellant, Paramhans Ram Chandra Das, filed a suit seeking permission for "worship and darshan without any check, obstruction or interference". The Faizabad civil judge consolidated the suits filed by Visharad and Das and in the final verdict handed the disputed site over to the state government, which is when the Nirmohi Akhara jumped into the court battle demanding rights over the land. The Sunni Central Board of Waqfs A Waqf is a body recognized by Muslim Law, the Sharia, which owns and manages properties donated for a religious purpose. They are regulated earlier under the Waqf Act of 1954, and now under the Waqf Act of 1995, approved by the Indian Parliament. In the Ayodhya dispute, the Sunni Waqf Board has spearheaded the claims of the Muslim community from 1961, after the state government had seized control through the Faizabad court verdict. The Board wanted control over the mosque and the removal of the idols inside. The consolidation of the three cases⁠— Visharad, Das, and the Sunni Waqf Board⁠— became the main case in 1964. After the demolition of the Babri Masjid by kar sevaks, members of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, in 1992, the Waqf Board sought to get the mosque restored. After 2010, the Board appealed at the Supreme Court against the division of the disputed site into three parts by the Allahabad High Court. Shia WAQF Board Interestingly, despite being a Muslim organisation, the Shia Waqf Board (representing a sect) has supported the cause for a temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya and sought that the Muslim parties should give up their claim. The Shia Waqf Board has claimed ownership of the disputed land, not the Sunni Waqf Board. Babur, who is said to have built the mosque in the disputed site, was from the Shia sect among Muslims. The Shia Waqf Board has appealed that the Supreme Court must hand over the part of land that was given to the Sunni Waqf Board, by the Allahabad High Court verdict, to the Hindu parties. In return, the Shia Waqf Board has demanded that the Babri Masjid must be rebuilt in another site.

The Ayodhya case has 50 parties⁠— but you need to know only these 7 claims

The Supreme Court on Wednesday made it clear that it will conclude today the day-to-day hearing in the politically sensitive Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case at <keyword id="6354931" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Ayodhya">Ayodhya</keyword>, saying "enough is enough". A 5-judge Constitution bench headed by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi said that it is hearing the Ayodhya land dispute case for the last 39 days and no more time beyond today will be granted to parties to conclude the hearing in the case. "This matter is going to be finished today by 5 PM. Enough is enough," the bench, which also comprises justices S A Bobde, D Y Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S A Nazeer, said at the start of the proceedings on the 40th day. The apex court had earlier said the hearing would be concluded on October 17. Now deadline has been advanced by one more day. The CJI is demitting office on November 17. The bench also rejected a plea of a party seeking to intervene in the ongoing hearing and said no such interventions will be allowed now at this stage of proceedings. Senior advocate C S Vaidyanathan, appearing for a Hindu party, has commenced his submission in response to a lawsuit filed by Sunni Waqf board in 1961 seeking title claim over the 2.77 acre disputed land at Ayodhya. Fourteen appeals have been filed in the apex court against the 2010 <keyword id="48834" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Allahabad-High-Court">Allahabad High Court</keyword> judgment, delivered in four civil suits, that the 2.77-acre land in Ayodhya be partitioned equally among three parties -- the Sunni Waqf Board, the Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla.

Enough is enough, says Supreme court Chief Justice on Ayodhya--wants to end arguments today

<ul><li>Give Muslims another site for a mosque, the Supreme Court ordered quashing the division of land by the Allahabad High Court.</li><li>This is a historic judgement from the Supreme Court in the Ram Mandir (temple) - Babri Masjid (mosque) title dispute being fought in courts at least since 1885.</li><li>The central government has been vested with the disputed land and to come up with a scheme for the construction of a temple in Ayodhya.</li><li>The Muslims should be given a separate 5-acre site for the construction of a mosque, the SC ordered while calling the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 as against the law.</li></ul>In a historic verdict, the Supreme Court of India has ordered that Muslims be given a separate 5-acre site to build a mosque, while holding the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 as against the law. At the same time, Justice Gogoi, while reading out a unanimous verdict, ordered that the Hindus will get to construct a Ram Mandir (temple) at the disputed site in Ayodhya, which the Hindus believe is the birthplace of Lord Rama. The Constitution bench of Supreme Court of India comprising of Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi, Justice Sharad Arvind Bobde, Justice DY Chandrachud, Justice Ashok Bhushan, and Justice Abdul Nazeer read out a unanimous verdict in the Ram Mandir (temple)- Babri Masjid (mosque) title dispute that has lasted for centuries, and being fought in the courts since 1885. The verdict is expected to settle the issue that has shaped India's politics for nearly 30 years now. <div type="Youtube" id="YB8rCj6W2ks" title="Here are the top highlights from the Ayodhya verdict." thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/YB8rCj6W2ks/mqdefault.jpg"></div>

 These are the key highlights of the order being read out: 1. Hindus get the possession of the disputed site in Ayodhya for a Ram temple. Possession of disputed 2.77 acre land will remain with Central government receiver. SC asks centre to frame scheme within 3 months and set up a trust for construction of a temple. 2. Alternate land should be allotted to the Muslims for a mosque. The Allahabad High Court was wrong in dividing the disputed Ayodhya site into three parts. 3. The government has to set up a trust that will enforce the Court's judgement. 4. Ram Janmabhoomi (birthplace of Lord Rama) is not a juristic person and therefore filed by Nirmohi Akhara is barred by limitation. However, the Akhara that has sought the management rights to the temple may get adequate representation going forward, if the government deems fit. 5. The report from the Archeological Survey of India (ASI), which cited the presence of a tenth-century structure beneath the Babri Masjid, has been upheld. But the court highlighted the fact that ASI refrained from recording a finding on whether mosque was built after demolishing a Hindu temple. As it stood at the Supreme Court, there are 50 parties in the case but the broad issue is whether there should be a temple or a mosque in the disputed site or should the land be divided among the sparring parties as ruled by the Allahabad High Court in 2010. Today, the Supreme Court has quashed the Allahabad High Court verdict, which divided the Ayodhya title into three equal parts between the Nirmohi Akhara, Lord Ram-- the deity represented by Triloki Nath Pandey (an RSS volunteer and Vishva Hindu Parishad functionary)-- and the Sunni Waqf Board. All three parties moved the Supreme Court against the order. Reaction of the Muslim side The Muslim side has expressed its displeasure with the Supreme Court verdict. While they agree with the parts of the verdict, they disagree with the handing over of the disputed site to the Hindus. Zafaryab Jilani, a litigant from the Muslim side, representing the Sunni Waqf Board, said that the verdict is "neither justice nor equity". "We are not satisfied with the judgement and the court has reached some wrong conclusions. We will go through the judgement to decide the future course of action... but SC verdict has to be respected. Everyone must remain calm," Jilani said adding that they are yet to decide whether they will move a review petition.

In a memo posted to an internal employee message board on Tuesday night, Meta told employees that the layoffs will affect technical teams, including those working on Facebook, Instagram, Reality Labs, and WhatsApp, <a href="https://www.vox.com/technology/2023/4/18/23688627/meta-layoffs-mark-zuckerberg-facebook-instagram-whatsapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to Vox</a>.Zuckerberg said last month that the cuts will affect about 10,000 staffers and some 5,000 open roles, highlighting the U-turn the company has made since last year, when its workforce <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/03/14/1163497090/meta-announces-another-10-000-layoffs-after-major-layoffs-last-fall#:~:text=Meta%20grew%20its%20workforce%20drastically,layoffs%20in%20the%20tech%20industry." target="_blank" rel="noopener">had nearly doubled</a> since the start of the pandemic.Layoffs in the industry <a href="https://layoffs.fyi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">are widespread</a> and Meta isn't alone in reducing its employee ranks more than once in short order. Amazon also last month announced it was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-layoffs-second-round-9000-job-jobs-2023-3?_gl=1*1gqiyi0*_ga*OTIwODQ1Njk3LjE2NjY4Nzc5NTU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY3OTMxNjcyNC4yNzYuMS4xNjc5MzI1MjEyLjYwLjAuMA..">laying off an additional 9,000 employees</a>, on <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-laying-off-17000-workers-largest-job-cut-tech-report-2023-1" rel="">top of the cuts to 18,000 positions</a> that the company disclosed in January.

Layoffs can <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/radhikaphilip/2020/07/23/the-paradox-of-layoffs-engagement-drops-when-you-need-it-most/?sh=10e0359a3fd2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">distract workers</a>, <a href="https://hbr.org/2022/12/what-companies-still-get-wrong-about-layoffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">crimp innovation</a>, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-layoffs-facebook-instagram-whatsapp-hurt-worker-morale-productivity-innovation-2023-3">eviscerate morale</a>. Put simply: Zuckerberg's plan is misguided, they said.The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/layoffs-sweeping-the-us-these-are-the-companies-making-cuts-2023#siriusxm-475-roles-2">recent job cuts at tech companies</a> underscore the mistakes that many, including Meta, made by hiring too fast, Sandra Sucher, a professor of management practice at Harvard Business School who's studied layoffs, told Insider."You have to step back and say, 'What kind of a reasonable businessperson actually puts people at risk by doubling the size of their organization in two years?'" she said. "What are the conditions that you think would have to hold for that to be a reasonable bet?"<h2>A leaner — and meaner — Meta</h2>Zuckerberg argues that "flatter is faster," so Meta will trim multiple layers of management.Sucher said that rethinking how to run an organization and looking for ways to make it move faster makes sense, provided the organization does it wisely.<div type="image" title="mark zuckerberg" height="4142" width="5523" msid="98772300" hostid="261"></div>But while Zuckerberg might have come up with a plan for a leaner, meaner management structure, he didn't offer many concrete details for how the layoffs will ultimately unfold. Some cuts are occurring now, others are slated to happen next month. And a smaller slice of the layoffs might take through the end of the year.The latest cutbacks weren't unexpected, yet some workers were upset at <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/laid-off-meta-employee-sad-but-relieved-not-in-limbo-2023-3?_gl=1*6iysul*_ga*OTIwODQ1Njk3LjE2NjY4Nzc5NTU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY3ODk5Mjg3Ny4yMDQuMS4xNjc4OTkyOTA0LjMzLjAuMA..">the</a> "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/laid-off-meta-employee-sad-but-relieved-not-in-limbo-2023-3?_gl=1*6iysul*_ga*OTIwODQ1Njk3LjE2NjY4Nzc5NTU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY3ODk5Mjg3Ny4yMDQuMS4xNjc4OTkyOTA0LjMzLjAuMA..">cold</a>" <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/laid-off-meta-employee-sad-but-relieved-not-in-limbo-2023-3?_gl=1*6iysul*_ga*OTIwODQ1Njk3LjE2NjY4Nzc5NTU.*_ga_E21CV80ZCZ*MTY3ODk5Mjg3Ny4yMDQuMS4xNjc4OTkyOTA0LjMzLjAuMA..">way</a> the company handled them. Sucher said Zuckerberg risks losing some credibility with workers. "All he has tried to do is to say, 'Count on me to make good decisions and at the end of this I'll let you know how this affects you,'" Sucher said.Rather than resorting to layoffs, Sucher said companies should look at other ways to lower headcount, including natural attrition, buyouts, and hiring freezes. She also said furloughs can be effective for helping companies weather downturns.Too often, she said, employers don't work through all of the ramifications — and hidden costs — that laying people off will bring, in addition to the obvious toll on workers. "You have to plan for it in order to not have it kill your company," Sucher said.<h2>An attempt at reinvention</h2>At the heart of Zuckerberg's memo lies a central question: To what degree can the company truly reinvent itself? Yes, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-meta-behind-metaverse-race-decentraland-2022-1">it can change its name</a>. And, sure, <a href="https://www.insiderintelligence.com/content/one-year-later-how-has-facebook-s-meta-pivot-fared" target="_blank" rel="noopener">it can shift its strategy</a>. But research suggests that most companies have a limited <a href="https://cmr.berkeley.edu/assets/documents/sample-articles/61-3-oreilly.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">capacity for full-scale transformation</a>. And the likelihood that Meta becomes a fundamentally different organization is small, Anita Williams Woolley, a professor of organizational behavior at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business, told Insider.Zuckerberg's latest moves are likely the result of him trying to return to Facebook's early days as a startup, she said. It's understandable why he might romanticize a time when the company was <a href="https://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2036683_2037183_2037185,00.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">more nimble and less bureaucratic</a>. But layoffs inject uncertainty and distrust into both current and prospective employees, Woolley said. What's more, "the bureaucracy that Zuckerberg thinks they can remove is built on patterns and routines that are hard to erase," she said. "You don't get rid of it by getting rid of people."So, what should Zuckerberg do instead? "I would start a new company," Woolley said. "I would ask him, 'What are you trying to do that your current company can't do right now?' Then I would tell him to set up a company to compete with it."An earlier version of the story appeared on March 19, 2023.

While it cited ASI findings, the SC also said that the title for the disputed property cannot be based solely on the report. The archaeological findings in Ayodhya didn't prove the existence of Lord Rama, or even the existence of a Hindu temple beneath the Babri Masjid. They only exposed the holes in the arguments of the Muslim side, particularly, the Waqf Board. Babri Masjid was not built on vacant land According to the judgement the discovery of structures and articles showed evidence of continuous public use of the disputed land starting from the Gupta era to the early medieval Rajput era through the Delhi Sultanate era up until the construction of the mosque in the 16th century. This finding helped debunk the claim by Muslims, particularly the Sunni Waqf Board, that the Babri Masjid was built on a vacant piece of land. At that juncture, the counsel for the Muslim side went back on the earlier claim, and insisted that the underlying structure was an Idgah⁠— an open space used for Id prayers. The change in stance from the Waqf Board brought the argument to a point where the court had to decide whether the underlying structure was an Islamic or non-Islamic. The court eventually decided that it was non-Islamic, based on the ASI report. However, while the Supreme Court clearly dismissed the presence of an Islamic structure, it didn’t confirm a Hindu temple too. “The possible linkages of Buddhist or Jain traditions cannot be excluded. Indeed, in assessing archaeological or historical material one must eschew a unidimensional view. The excavation in the present case does in fact suggest a confluence of civilisations, cultures and traditions," said the order. Against the Allahabad HC verdict The Supreme Court’s order also quashed the 2010 Allahabad High Court verdict by Justice SU Khan. Justice Khan had discarded the ASI findings to say that, <ul><li>firstly, there was evidence of continuity in structural phases from the tenth Century onward upto the construction of the disputed structure is directly in conflict with the pleadings, gazetteers and history books </li></ul><ul><li>secondly, that in the case a temple had been demolished for constructing a mosque, the super structure of the temple would not have gone inside the ground</li></ul>But the SC called the first argument ‘specious’ and the second one ‘pure conjecture’. Historians’ report debunked The Supreme Court also dismissed a report “Babri Mosque or Rama‘s Birth Place? Historians‘ Report to the Indian Nation” released by four historians in 1991. The report said that there is no basis to prove that the site of Babri Masjid is the birthplace of Lord Rama, and that the pillar carvings in the mosque do not bear any relation to a Vaishnavite among other claims. The SC went on to say in its verdict that the historians didn’t have the ASI material assessed by them and thus the 1991 report doesn’t carry any weight.

The labor market is historically hot, with wages climbing at the fastest pace in decades and plenty of jobs to go around. But <keyword id="11894140" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="inflation" source="Orion">inflation</keyword> stands to squander the progress made over the past two years. Prices are climbing at the fastest pace since the 1980s, forcing the Federal Reserve to aggressively lift interest rates in hopes of slowing demand.The central bank is trying to engineer a "soft landing," a win-win situation in which inflation cools but unemployment remains low. Pulling one off is a difficult thing to do, and if the Fed errs, it could slow the economy more than anticipated and throw the country into a self-inflicted downturn.More and more experts expect a recession to hit the US in the next 12 months. Yet what the slump will look like has become a topic of furious debate.<h2>In one corner: 'Hurricane' warnings about the state of the economy blamed on persistent inflation</h2>A growing cast of figures is sounding the alarm on a major recession that can set the recovery back with huge layoffs and weak spending.Many pin the blame on Biden's $1.9 trillion stimulus law for flooding the economy with cash, boosting demand while supply chains were still snarled due to the pandemic.Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers was among the first liberal-leaning economists to sound the alarm. As the stimulus package made its way through Congress, he warned that it risked triggering inflation by overheating the economy. Now, he believes a recession is possible within the next two years due to a combination of stubborn inflation and low unemployment."I think that we need to recognize that a soft landing is going to be very difficult in these circumstances," Summers <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2022/05/31/transcript-path-forward-us-economy-with-lawrence-h-summers/">told the Washington Post last week.</a>In addition, Republicans in Congress are assailing the White House for rising prices bedeviling Americans just about everywhere they turn. With voters expressing pessimism about the state of the economy in numerous surveys, the GOP is hoping to ride that distress back into power in the November midterms.Others, though, like Tesla CEO Elon Musk are going further. He says the US is in a recession right now. That <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/money/2022/05/31/1101774189/fear-the-vibe-shift-are-we-entering-a-recession">doesn't seem</a> to be the case at the moment since the economy is still growing.JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon is warning of an economic "hurricane" that's headed for the American economy. "Right now it's kind of sunny, things are doing fine. Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this," <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/jamie-dimon-economic-hurricane-warning-requires-preparation-jpmorgan-balance-sheet-2022-6">he said this week</a>. "That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way."<h2>In the other corner: Forecasts of a mild downturn that won't harm Americans' strong financial position</h2>Not all recession outlooks call for a crippling downturn. Some of the loudest voices in economic forecasting see a much more shallow recession on the horizon. Others are still hopeful the US can avoid a slump entirely.The first economists on Wall Street to forecast a recession are fairly optimistic. Deutsche Bank economists led by Matthew Luzzetti <a href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/bonds/us-recession-2023-fed-interest-rate-hikes-deutsche-bank-prediction-2022-4">penciled in a 2023 downturn</a> in April, arguing the Fed's efforts to rein in inflation will slow growth to a halt. Still, the recession will be a "mild" one, and not like the downturns of 2008 and 2020, the team added."The type of recession we're looking at is not like a serious, massive downturn in consumer spending across the board," Brett Ryan, a senior US economist at Deutsche Bank, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/next-recession-outlook-mild-inflation-cooldown-federal-reserve-economic-recovery-2022-5">told Insider in May</a>.Bank of America followed with a similar projection in April, saying an "inflation shock" will drag on the economy in late 2022. Yet there are "no strong signs of overleverage" in the economy, Alex Lin, a senior US economist at BofA, told Insider. As such, households are in much stronger positions to ride out an economic slowdown compared to the Great Recession.Americans' spending has also held strong throughout the inflation surge. That's yet another sign the recovery can push forward unscathed, Jason Furman, a former top economist in the Obama administration and an economics professor at Harvard, told <a href="https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2022/05/things-may-look-shaky-but-recession-isnt-certainty/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CThe%20most%20politically%20salient%20part,%2C%22%20says%20economist%20Jason%20Furman">The Harvard Gazette</a> in an interview published May 11. Spending counts for about two-thirds of all economic activity, making it a critical fuel for the recovery. With demand showing little sign of easing, growth is likely to push forward, Furman said."I'm relatively unworried about a recession over the next year because consumer spending has continued to be very strong," he added.Fed Chair Jerome Powell has repeatedly pointed to the labor market's strength as a sign the US <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/powell-no-recession-federal-reserve-inflation-rate-hike-pandemic-support-2022-3">can weather higher interest rates</a>. Job creation continued to surpass the pre-crisis trend through April and the unemployment rate remains at historic lows, signaling the economy doesn't need as much pandemic-era support to keep recovering. Avoiding a recession will be "a challenging task," but the US can still pull off a "<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/economic-outlook-inflation-soft-landing-challenging-jerome-powell-federal-reserve-2022-5">soft or soft-ish landing</a>," the Fed chair said in May. President Joe Biden has maintained a rosy outlook for the US, which isn't too surprising since his party's political ambitions hinge on the economy continuing to heal. The president said in a May 23 press conference that he <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/recession-outlook-biden-inflation-haul-gas-prices-rising-economic-recovery-2022-5">doesn't think a recession is inevitable</a>, and that the US's recovery has built a healthy buffer for the economy as the Fed fights inflation."We have problems that the rest of the world has, but less consequential than the rest of the world has because of our internal growth and strength," Biden said at a press conference in Tokyo. "This is going to be a haul. This is going to take some time."

One of the people is holding a blue paddle" height="2450" width="3266" msid="90803638" hostid="261"></div>Everyday <keyword id="11892889" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="california" source="Orion">California</keyword>Water sports are an integral part of San Diego and a great way to actively experience the ocean. <a href="https://www.everydaycalifornia.com/pages/adventure" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Everyday California</a> offers activities like snorkeling and SUP (stand-up paddleboarding), but its most popular tour takes you on a kayak through the La Jolla ecological reserve, a Marine Protected Area where you're likely to see lots of sea life and explore Seven Sea Caves, one of La Jolla's coolest attractions. I did this when I first moved here, and even though I had never before picked up a paddle, I felt totally empowered.Surf DivaI'm not a surfer — you're more likely to find me on the pickleball courts at <a href="https://www.bobbyriggs.net/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Bobby Riggs Racket &amp; Paddle</a> — but so many people I know swear by this women-owned San Diego school. <a href="https://www.surfdiva.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Surf Diva's</a> elite instructors instill confidence in even the most cautious student and welcome newbies like family. Take a beginner lesson at gorgeous La Jolla Shores, San Diego's best learn-to-surf beach, and you'll be hanging 10 in no time.<div type="image" title="A brown building in the distance with a closeup of greenery and a pond in foreground. Palm trees and a bright blue sky surround the area" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803639" hostid="261"></div>Balboa ParkWhen I first moved here, I was told <a href="https://www.balboapark.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">Balboa Park </a>was San Diego's equivalent of Central Park, but that's not quite accurate. While Central Park is basically a big green oasis in the middle of Manhattan, Balboa Park is home to a wide variety of world-class museums (including the brand-new Comic-Con Museum), gardens, attractions, and performing-arts venues.Though I love walking the trails there, it actually plays a huge role in San Diego's culture. One of my favorite ways to spend a day is museum-hopping (a docent tour at the San Diego Museum of Art is always a treat), eating lunch at the eclectic Prado, and then grabbing a cuppa at the Tea Pavilion at the Japanese Friendship Garden. It's such a San Diego experience and really makes me appreciate living here.<div type="image" title="A view under a bridge with artwork painted on legs of bridge. Each leg shows painting of indigenous people, with the frontmost left leg showing a woman in a dress looking up and the leg on the right showing an eagle" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803641" hostid="261"></div> Chicano ParkIf you're an art lover, you won't want to miss the outdoor gallery that flies under the radar — and under a series of freeway overpasses — in Barrio Logan's <a href="https://www.caculturaldistricts.org/barrio-logan" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Chicano Park</a>. I lived here for years before I discovered it and now tell everyone who visits to drive over there. Admire more than 70 larger-than-life murals rooted in Chicano history that tell the stories of this community, and then immerse yourself further by joining the Barrio Art Crawl every second Saturday of the month. Stop at Barrio Dogg for a Tijuana-style hot dog that the chef Pablo Rios calls "Chicano comfort food." <div type="image" title="Outdoor shopping area with people sitting underneath tents among trees and the wall of a white-paneled shop on right" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803642" hostid="261"></div>One PaseoI was shocked when I realized most San Diego malls were outdoors, but it makes shopping less of a guilty pleasure because you don't feel as if you're missing out on a sunny day. An upscale village in North County, <a href="https://www.onepaseo.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored nofollow sponsored">One Paseo</a> is a pretty place to walk around, shop, and eat. There's lots of outdoor seating and plenty of window shopping. Bring home gifts and clean skincare products from indie stores like Pigment and Shop/Good. Stop for lunch at Parakeet Café, have dinner at North Italia, perk up with cold brew at Blue Bottle Coffee, or enjoy Salt &amp; Straw for the best ice cream. Do yourself a favor and try its pear and blue cheese. You'll thank me after.<div type="image" title="Five people parasailing, with green and red parachutes, along coast and a blue sky" height="3118" width="4158" msid="90803645" hostid="261"></div>Torrey Pines GliderportWhen you walk along the beach in Del Mar, you're likely to see people paragliding or hang gliding. I am always awestruck by this sight, especially when I see people flying with their dogs. While my own flights have been limited to planes, <a href="https://www.flytorrey.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Torrey Pines Gliderport</a> is a historic aviation site with almost 100 years of flying experience. They're the ones I would trust if I got up the nerve. I do love the idea of going for a tandem ride with one of their pilots for a bird's-eye view of San Diego.<div type="image" title="Baseball players playing a game on a field in Petco Park stadium and seats filled with spectators" height="1712" width="2282" msid="90803646" hostid="261"></div>Petco ParkThis magnificent stadium is a fun place to hang out even if you're not a baseball fan. The official home of the San Diego Padres, <a href="https://petcoparkevents.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Petco Park</a> is located downtown and offers stunning views. Locals like to gather in Gallagher Square, its public park, and my family often visits Tony Gwynn Plaza to check out the brick we bought for our son's birthday when the park first opened. The food at Petco Park is a collection of San Diego favorites, from Hodad burgers to Board &amp; Brew's Turkado to tri-tip nachos from Seaside Market. You'll have a ball even if you don't care about watching the game.<div type="image" title="Close up of a fountain with blue tiles and water splashing and white building with tan roof and &quot;Spa La Costa&quot; text by entrance" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803744" hostid="261"></div>The Spa at La CostaThere is nothing more relaxing than a spa day in San Diego, as my mom, my sister, and I can attest. For many years, we made going to <a href="https://www.omnihotels.com/hotels/san-diego-la-costa/spa/packages" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">The Spa at La Costa</a> an annual tradition because the treatments are world-class and the spa itself is all about serenity. We like to opt for a package that includes one or two treatments plus lunch at the Spa Café, a lovely space in the garden courtyard where you can dine al fresco in your robe. We've found that a massage, a facial, and a basil-pesto shrimp Caesar can cure pretty much anything.<div type="image" title="Amusement park rides, including a white and red roller coaster, and people walking around on pathways" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803746" hostid="261"></div>Belmont Park<a href="https://www.belmontpark.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Belmont Park</a> on Mission Beach is a San Diego treasure. The Giant Dipper, originally built in 1925 during the Golden Age of wooden roller coasters, was restored and renovated and is as much fun as ever. There are a dozen other thrill rides, as well as a variety of attractions including go-karts, mini golf, and a new rock wall. Walk along the boardwalk, sit down to lunch with an ocean view, or cool off with a Dole Whip. On a hot day especially, you'll want to take <a href="https://plungesandiego.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">The Plunge</a> in one of Southern California's largest pools and a historic landmark itself.<div type="image" title="A couple sits in a private gondola boat while employee in red hat and striped shirt rows the boat in a port with palm trees and houses in background" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803747" hostid="261"></div>Gondola CruisesFor a whole other kind of water activity, take a gondola ride through the canals and waterways of the Coronado Cays with <a href="https://www.gondolacompany.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener sponsored">Gondola Cruises</a>. Let your gondolier do all the work while you just sit back and relax. Though it's definitely touristy, it's a great way to see a pretty part of Coronado that you would otherwise miss and is a lovely way to end a long day of sightseeing.<h3>The best beaches in San Diego</h3>Locals like to spend time at the beach, and while we understand why certain ones are so popular, we often try to find the ones that aren't. Whichever beaches you pick, please remember to follow the principles of "Leave No Trace" so San Diego will be just as beautiful for generations to come.<div type="image" title="A surfer walks along the coastline next to the seaside. He is holding a white surfboard" height="3996" width="5328" msid="90803748" hostid="261"></div>Windansea BeachWindansea Beach in La Jolla is a favorite for surfers. In fact, it's such sacred ground that the locals can get territorial, and you probably shouldn't even get in the water here if you're not experienced and don't understand surf etiquette. But if you do, you'll immediately recognize the palm-covered shack that is a protected landmark and will feel the love.<div type="image" title="Hill with grass and yellow flowers and beach with rolling waves below. Palm trees and a stretch of land with a layer of mist are visible in the distance" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803751" hostid="261"></div>Swami's BeachBecause it's a point break, Swami's Beach in Encinitas — one of California's great beach towns — is also considered one of the world's top surfing spots. Thanks to a long staircase down to the beach and a small parking lot, Swami's is rarely crowded. It's ideal for watching surfers, taking in the views, and enjoying the tide pools. Be sure to walk through the lovely Meditation Garden at the Self-Realization Fellowship above the beach for a spiritual experience.<div type="image" title="View of sand and fence along coast with blue sky and water and people parasailing along coast in distance" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803753" hostid="261"></div>Black's BeachSecluded below the Torrey Pines Gliderport, Black's Beach is legendary for its beauty and clothing-optional policy. It's not easily accessible — I have huffed and puffed my way back up that steep climb, so just know you're going to get a workout — and some people will be turned off by the nudity, but it's a special spot where you can worship the sun without worrying about tan lines. Or, keep your clothes on and treat it like any day at the beach. <div type="image" title="Coastline with cliffs leading down to seaside. Houses and palm trees are visible on the cliffs" height="4000" width="5333" msid="90803755" hostid="261"></div>Sunset Cliffs BeachLocated in Sunset Cliffs Natural Park in Point Loma, Sunset Cliffs Beach is one of the best places to catch spectacular sunsets. Visitors can't stop raving about the rock formations, the crashing waves and the nooks, and the incredible views — to which we locals just nod knowingly. Just be careful on the cliffs.<a href="https://www.insider.com/everything-you-need-to-know-about-traveling-to-san-diego-california" target="_blank" rel="noopener">View Insider's comprehensive guide to visiting San Diego.</a>
