Michigan Weather Shifts This Week | Grand Rapids News
Michigan’s weather is throwing a seasonal rollercoaster—cool temps arrive Monday with 50s and 60s, dip into 40s by Tuesday, but no frost. This chill only lasts 3-4 days before we warm back into 50s and even low 70s by the end of the week. Jacket time for now, but summer’s not fully gone—just on a temporary break.

Amway Settles FTC Multi-Level Marketing Lawsuit | Grand Rapids News
Amway just paid $225 million in the FTC’s biggest-ever MLM settlement after being accused of funneling recruits into a money-losing system promising $40K/year earnings—only to find most distributors spent more than they earned, with 75% of U.S. sales now coming from distributors themselves, not customers. The FTC forced changes: distributors must prove real customer sales, can’t recruit until trained and making qualifying sales, and affiliates can’t charge new recruits for training in their first year—all while Amway faces 10 years of audits.
