FENTON, Mo. (KTVI) -- Before the sun came up Tuesday, work was already underway at Amazon’s delivery station in Fenton, Missouri. From conveyor belts to carts, colors and QR codes, every package finds its proper place.Tuesday marked the start of this year's Amazon Prime Day event, which offers deals for Amazon Prime members for 48 hours through Wednesday. “We prepare about four weeks out," said Andrew Prewett, senior station manager at Amazon’s Fenton warehouse. “Unique to Amazon, we actually stow our packages to bags. We want to combine multiple orders within a bag. It makes it easier to transfer multiple packages to a cart and to load into the van.” Prime Day 2023: Here are the 190+ best deals The 142,000-square-foot facility is roughly the size of two-and-a-half football fields.

But during Prime week, that number jumps to 370,000 orders.“W...

Student loans: How payments pinch renters, dash dreams of homeownership

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:07:36 GMT

(The Hill) - Student loan borrowers could face housing hurdles in an already tight and expensive market once payments kick in later this year after a three-year pause.   The money saved not paying on loans during this period helped some borrowers build savings or handle the rising costs of household goods and other necessities, including rent. Some analysts predict that the added costs of loan repayments could slash savings and force borrowers into difficult housing situations. “While the income needed for monthly rent payments remains the same with the resumption of loan payments, renters especially from the lower- and middle-income group will be forced to make difficult housing decisions and sacrifice some aspects to the quality of life,” Moody’s Analytics senior economist Lu Chen and economist Mary Le told The Hill. Borrowers who immediately resume payments in October will owe roughly $275 per month, Moody’s projected in a recent report. That could lead those in de...

(The Hill) -- The stabbing attack on disgraced former USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar in federal prison was not captured on camera, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday. A person familiar with the matter said Nassar was attacked inside his prison cell, which is a blind spot for cameras that only cover the common areas and corridors. He was stabbed multiple times in the neck, back and chest by another inmate at United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida. He was declared to be in stable condition as of Monday. Nassar pleaded guilty in 2017 to sexual assault charges after being accused by dozens of gymnasts of sexual abuse throughout his career.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:07:36 GMT

Shortly after watching his team get drubbed to cap off the first half of the season, Twins manager Rocco Baldelli professed his faith in the group of players within the Twins clubhouse.“I couldn’t believe in our team any more.

And all the things we want as a staff, as a manager, that you have in a roster, we have it.”What they don’t have is an offense that has performed consistently, nor a winning record.The Twins (45-46) entered this week’s all-star break in second place, one game under .500 as a result, with a pitching staff that has been among the best in the major leagues, and an offense that is on the other end of the spectrum.But while the Twins may be on the lookout for a bat ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline, president of baseball operations Derek Falvey made it clear that most of the contribut...
