Lyft’s new CEO tackles a job requiring some heavy lifting

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:42:10 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even before he joined Lyft’s board in 2021, David Risher had taken hundreds of trips as a passenger so he felt like he knew a lot about the ride-hailing service. But he never expected to be thrust into the driver’s seat at a time when Lyft was running like a jalopy. “I really was gobsmacked,” Risher said during an interview with The Associated Press as he recalled being recently asked to replace Lyft co-founder Logan Green as CEO.Risher quickly shook off his initial shock and is now making an effort to reverse the San Francisco company’s mounting losses and sagging stock price. Just days after taking over as CEO, Risher came up with a restructuring plan that includes laying off nearly 1,100 employees whose job losses could help him attain stock price incentives potentially worth nearly $1 billion.Like any mass layoff, the payroll purge will uproot the lives of those suddenly out of a job while sowing uncertainty among Lyft’s remaining 3,0...

Homebuyers With Good Credit Forced To Subsidize Others’ High-Risk Mortgages

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:42:10 GMT

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has updated the loan fee structure of mortgages leading to cries of unfair fees imposed on borrowers with excellent credit scores to subsidize the ones with lower credit scores. The revised fees will take effect beginning May 1st, 2023.The Single-Family Pricing Framework Updated by FHFAFHFA Director Sandra Thompson, a Biden appointee, is focused on ” facilitating equitable and sustainable access to homeownership.” Low cash flow, high debt-to-income (DTI) ratios, and lack of liquid assets are the top three factors preventing Americans with low FICO scores from buying homes.DTI ratio is calculated by dividing the homebuyer’s monthly debt payments by their gross income and is used by lenders to determine loan eligibility.The FHFA revamped and adjusted the upfront fee matrices for purchase, rate-term refinance, and cash-out refinance loans to ensure that borrowers with lower income or net worth can still afford single-family ho...

Keep calm and carry on: 5 MPs who shrugged off Westminster’s revolving door watchdog

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 06:42:10 GMT

LONDON — Who’s afraid of ACOBA? The U.K.’s revolving door watchdog — snappily called the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments — is back in the headlines as Westminster awaits its verdict on Sue Gray, the former senior civil servant who quit to take up a job with the opposition Labour Party.ACOBA’s job is to weigh the restrictions top officials and ministers should have imposed on them when they take on post-government roles, in a bid to stop people from cashing in on their insider knowledge.Yet MPs themselves don’t seem too spooked by the watchdog, whose rulings are only advisory and which cannot impose any sanctions for rule-breaking.Should Gray need some inspiration to plow on regardless, here’s POLITICO’s handy round-up of five recent senior MPs who didn’t let an angry ACOBA letter get them down.Matt HancockThe former health secretary turned, er, camel-penis-eating reality star knows ACOBA well. The watchdog criticized Hancock for ...

Failure to do so could trigger a domestic and international financial catastrophe.Yellen wrote to House Speaker Kevin McCarthy that unless Congress acted, it would cause “severe hardship to American families, harm our global leadership position, and raise questions about our ability to defend our national security interests.” Experts have warned of a potential crisis on the scale of the 2008 financial meltdown, with the threat of benefits not being paid to veterans and senior citizens, and halts to milita...
