Kuwait: As part of its ongoing commitment to supporting delivery riders and enhancing their safety, talabat, the leading on-demand online ordering and delivery platform in the MENA region, took part in the "Awareness Workshop on Occupational Safety Rights". The event was held in collaboration with National Diwan for Human Rights, the Ministry of Health – Occupational Health Section, and the Ministry of Interior – General Department of Traffic, with the aim of raising awareness among delivery riders about their health and safety, particularly during the summer months.
The full-day workshop kicked off with free health screenings, including blood pressure checks, eyesight, and color vision tests. A specialist team from the Ministry of Health led an educational session on managing common health concerns during the hotter months, including issues related to high blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and heat exposure. The workshop concluded with a physical fitness session on flexibility training to help mitigate stiffness and discomfort caused by long hours behind the wheel and on the road.
Training sessions were conducted in multiple languages throughout the workshop, including Arabic, English, and Hindi, in line with talabat's culture of inclusion and respect for the cultural diversity of its rider team.
Dr. Al-Anoud Al-Otaiq, Head of Shuaiba Industrial Medical Center, commented.:"Our participation in this awareness workshop reflects the Ministry of Health's continued role in protecting frontline workers—particularly delivery riders during the summer season. We made it a priority to provide health screenings and guidance in multiple languages, reaffirming our commitment to delivering inclusive healthcare to everyone living in Kuwait'.
Following that, the National Diwan for Human Rights highlighted the fundamental rights of delivery riders in Kuwait, including the protection of the relationship between drivers and employers, as well as the assurance of a safe and fair working environment that upholds their dignity. "At the National Diwan for Human Rights, we believe that the safety and dignity of all workers—including delivery riders—are fundamental to a fair working environment. We aim to reinforce a culture of rights and responsibilities among all stakeholders, ensuring that every worker is treated with humanity and that their efforts are respected," said Mr. Fahad Abdullah Al-Harbi from the National Diwan for Human Rights.
The closing session was led by the Ministry of Interior, which presented the latest updates to traffic laws and regulations, including guidelines for vehicle operation. The session placed special emphasis on driving restrictions during peak summer hours to preserve riders' well-being and minimize risks associated with hot weather. Discussions also covered traffic violations and best practices for safe driving.
From his side, Major Abdullah Al-Tattan, representative of the Traffic Week Events Committee from the Ministry of Interior commented: "The Ministry of Interior is committed to raising traffic awareness among all road users, and delivery riders represent a vital and essential segment in this context. We wanted to highlight the latest traffic laws and safety regulations, in order to protect lives and create a safer road environment for everyone'.
Commenting on the initiative, Bader Al-Ghanim, Vice President and Managing Director of talabat Kuwait, said: 'Delivery riders play an essential role in our daily lives. That's why ensuring their safety and well-being isn't just a responsibility, it's a priority. Our collaboration with all of these entities helps us take meaningful steps toward that goal, especially through accessible, multilingual workshops that reach riders directly on the ground'.
While riders are contracted through logistics partners, talabat sees their well-being as a shared responsibility. The company continues to invest in humanitarian and awareness initiatives that make a meaningful difference in riders' daily lives, and this workshop is one of several planned this summer to support the rider community further.

I Asked ChatGPT What Elon Musk's ‘America Party' Means for My Taxes, Here's What it Said

As the rift between Elon Musk and Donald Trump grows, Musk's recent announcement of the potential launch of an 'America Party' has splashed across the headlines. While the Tesla billionaire's 'America Party' is in its nascent stages, it could make an impact on the future of politics. For You: See Next: The entry of a new and potentially popular third party into American politics could shake things up. While no one can predict the future, I asked ChatGPT to give me an assessment of what Musk's 'America Party' would mean for my taxes — here's what it had to say. Potential Party Platform Musk hosted a poll on X asking whether or not he should launch the America Party. After a few days, he announced the results and that he would be starting the American Party. Although the America Party has launched, it doesn't have an official platform yet. Even so, ChatGPT summarized what the party might stand for. 'Elon Musk launched the America Party in early July 2025, positioning it as a centrist, fiscally responsible and tech-forward alternative to both Republicans and Democrats,' according to ChatGPT. Check Out: Potential Tax Impacts If fiscal conservatism is the focus of the new party, it's likely to have some impact on everyone's taxes, especially if it ever gains power. ChatGPT claimed the new party tax policies might focus on the following: Fiscal conservatism and deficit-focused: 'The America Party's platform likely emphasizes deficit reduction via tax restraint, potentially favoring higher taxes on wealthy earners, reducing loopholes or phasing out regressive tax cuts,' ChatGPT said. Green energy and tech incentives: 'Expect the America Party to advocate for restoring or expanding clean-energy tax credits, R&D incentives and other supportive structures for sustainable tech,' the chatbot said. Pro-business and tech-friendly tax reforms: With a potential focus on 'tech-driven, low-regulation attitudes,' ChatGPT predicted this could translate into business tax reforms, such as lower corporate tax rates and tax incentives for startups. Potential Impacts Vary Across Households If the America Party came to power and enacted its agenda, different households would see different impacts. '[Top earners] could face marginal increases if deficit-driven reforms target high-income brackets. But they may benefit from enhanced R&D or green-business credits,' ChatGPT said. For mid-income families, the chatbot claimed they 'could see relief if payroll tax adjustments or retention of EV or green subsidies are part of the agenda.' And for low-income households, the chatbot predicted 'direct gains likely from restored rebates, tax credits and possibly expanded earned income tax credit, contingent on the America Party's social policy platform.' Likely Impacts Right Now While the party's platform might be interesting, it's worth pointing out that it's not even on the ballot nationwide right now. Although the America Party is trying to get started, it's initially set it's sights on a few congressional races, which wouldn't immediately push the country toward its agenda. 'Minimal direct impact on your taxes for the short-term — unless America Party candidates win seats in 2026 and influence future bills, ChatGPT said. The America Party is getting off the ground. While it's building out a platform, it has yet to win any elections. Until it gains real influence, it likely cannot influence tax policies or your taxes directly.

Liberty star Breanna Stewart avoided significant leg injury, but return timeline is unclear

There appears to be reason for relief in New York. Liberty All-Star Breanna Stewart reportedly avoided a significant lower-leg injury after leaving early during Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Sparks. That's according to Madeline Kenney of the New York Post, who reported Sunday that imaging revealed the absence of a significant injury. The nature of Stewart's injury, however, is still unclear. Liberty coach Sandy Brondello confirmed the injury on Monday, but said they do not know what part of Stewart's leg is injured. She also did not have a timetable for Stewart's return. Despite the uncertainty, the news is certainly welcome in New York as the Liberty seek to repeat as WNBA champions. Per the report, Stewart will travel with the team for New York's upcoming four-game road trip that features a potential WNBA Finals preview against the league-leading Minnesota Lynx. Stewart's status for that matchup on Wednesday is far from certain. Per Kenney, the Liberty plan "to give her time to fully recover." [Join or create a Yahoo Fantasy Football league for the 2025 NFL season] Whether she's back on the court for the road trip or later, the report indicates that Stewart will be back in time for the stretch run of the season, which concludes on Sept. 11. Scary moment after apparent non-contact injury Stewart pulled up in the opening minutes of Saturday's game and asked to be taken out with what appeared to be a non-contact injury. She did not return to the game and was eventually ruled out at halftime. Liberty head coach Sandy Brondello told reporters after the game there was no update on Stewart's status. "Hopefully she'll be OK," Brondello said in her postgame news conference. Saturday's 101-99 loss to the Sparks on Saturday was the Liberty's first in six games to drop them to 17-7. They remain comfortably in first place in the Eastern Conference, three games ahead of the second-place Atlanta Dream (14-10). The Lynx maintain the best record in the WNBA (22-4), four games ahead of the Liberty in the race for home-court advantage in a potential Finals matchup. Stewart, a seven-time All-WNBA selection and two-time MVP, is key to New York's hopes of maintaining its edge in the East and repeating as WNBA champion.
