The hidden price of dementia caregiving: $120,000 out-of-pocket

John Nuar cared for his father with dementia in Michigan from 2017–2019 at home before moving him to memory care; rising private-pay costs and limited public aid led them to pay about $120,000 out of pocket. After a period with relatives in Virginia, his father returned to private memory care in Michigan, where costs climbed from roughly $4,200 to $6,600 per month until his death in 2024. The piece highlights the emotional and financial toll of dementia care and urges proactive planning—maxing HSAs for long-term care, completing advance directives and wills—to prepare for future needs.

OpenAI posts $21B loss on $13B revenue as IPO looms

Fortune reports OpenAI's 2025 financials show a $21 billion operating loss on roughly $13 billion in revenue, driven by costs of $34 billion (R&D $19.18B, COGS $7.5B, S&M $5.73B, G&A $1.57B). Loss from operations was $20.92B, though the loss ratio improved to about $1.60 in expenses per dollar of revenue in 2025 from $2.37 in 2024. With the company planning an IPO, executives might pursue revenue growth or price increases while potentially trimming R&D and marketing—though cutting R&D risks eroding AI leadership. The figures come from leaked copies obtained by Ed Zitron and the Financial Times and are a preview of what the S-1 might reveal.

Survivor 50 Winner’s Real Take-Home After Taxes

The article explains that while the Survivor 50 champion earns a $1 million prize, the amount they actually keep is reduced by federal and state taxes (and any other applicable levies). Because the prize is considered ordinary income, it’s taxed at the winner’s bracket plus state rates where applicable, so the post‑tax take home is typically in the mid‑ to upper‑six figures depending on the winner’s residence and tax situation. The piece underscores the importance of tax planning and potential estimating payments to avoid surprises.

With 35 nations participating this year and several others on the brink of joining the boycott, the European Broadcasting Union weighs options from tightening televoting rules to potentially banning Israel, while organizers hope political shifts in Israel and Europe could stabilize the event and even bring back boycotting countries for 2027.
