Government Guarantees Tax-Free Income from REITs and InvITs for Investors

The White House is expected to extend the waiver of the Jones Act in the coming days, using it as a tool to stabilize gasoline prices. This decision comes against the backdrop of the consequences of the war between the US and Israel against Iran, according to information received by Reuters from sources.

The Jones Act, which has been in effect for a century, requires that cargo be transported between US ports on ships built and owned by the US, and operated by American workers. The purpose of this waiver is to increase flexibility in shipping and eliminate bottlenecks in transportation, which should help reduce fuel costs.

The current waiver of the Jones Act rules expires on August 16. This is already the longest suspension of the Jones Act rules since its adoption, and it has been used nearly 200 times since the start of the war with Iran.

This step is being taken as Trump runs out of simple ways to lower oil prices in the US, which currently average $4 per gallon, ahead of the midterm elections in November. Furthermore, this follows comments made by Trump on Monday, in which he stated that oil companies such as Exxon Mobil and Chevron are receiving 'too much money' from the price increases caused by the war with Iran.

Rachael Matloga, a mother of three who enjoys listening to music and watching nature documentaries, has achieved significant career growth in the retail sector. After nine years of questioning her career path, she became the branch manager at Petshop Science N1 City in Cape Town.

Matloga's career began in 2017 when she joined Shoprite Group as a checkout packer. Prior to this, she completed the company's retail readiness program, which provides skills to unemployed youth in South Africa.

Originally from the village of Ga-Maponto in Limpopo, Matloga was studying logistics when she learned about the program during a conversation on a train. She applied, underwent training, and was appointed as a checkout packer at Checkers N1 City in 2017.

Shortly after starting, she began to doubt her decision due to the physically demanding nature of the work. However, her mother's support convinced her to continue. Her mother advised her: 'You need to start somewhere to end up somewhere,' which, according to Matloga, changed the course of her career.

Over the years, she utilized every opportunity to develop her skills, taking on extra responsibilities and learning from colleagues as she advanced within the company. Lindsey Joseph, Head of Talent Solutions for the Shoprite Group, noted that Matloga's journey demonstrates the company's commitment to developing internal talent.

Joseph stated: 'We believe in creating opportunities for our employees to build a meaningful career within the business. Through continuous learning, development, and internal promotion where possible, employees like Rachael reach management positions.'

Now leading a team at Petshop Science N1 City, Matloga believes that effective leadership involves both developing people and achieving results. She cited mentoring a team member who took on a management role as one of her greatest achievements.

Outside of work, the mother of three enjoys listening to music and watching nature documentaries. Matloga's plan is to manage a larger store while continuing to build high-performing teams that serve customers and support their communities.

Concluding her journey, Matloga urged others not to underestimate the potential of a retail career. She emphasized: 'You don't have to have everything planned out at the beginning. Retail is a place where you can build a long-term career, and your start is never the end. Every role teaches you something, and if you are ready to learn and keep showing up, you never know where it will take you.'

If unstable internet connection has become a recurring problem in daily life, it may be necessary to replace the current router. Three suggestions for Wi-Fi routers currently on sale on Amazon have been gathered. These models offer technologies such as mesh, Wi-Fi 6, and greater range, aiming to provide a stable signal in all residential environments.

TWIBI FORCE AX Mesh Wi-Fi Router

The TWIBI FORCE AX model, developed by Intelbras, is indicated for users who require complete coverage, eliminating dead zones. Thanks to its mesh technology and support for the AX standard (Wi-Fi 6), it ensures faster and more consistent connections, even in large houses or when multiple devices are connected simultaneously. It is a suitable option for those who want superior performance without installation difficulties.

Another popular mesh solution on the market is the TP-Link Deco M4 kit. This kit stands out for its ease of configuration, management done directly through an application, and coverage expansion as the number of units increases. With Gigabit connection and dual 5GHz band, it guarantees constant speed throughout the residence, preventing known weak signal spots in bedrooms or floors farther from the modem.

Huawei presented the AX2S, a Wi-Fi 6 router with a differentiated feature: network diagnosis through a heat map. This map allows you to see exactly where the signal intensity is lowest in the area. Furthermore, it features support for HarmonyOS Mesh+, four internal amplifiers, and a compact black design, combining functionality and practicality for those seeking total control over their home network.
