The non-fungible token (NFT) market consists of multiple online buyers and sellers of crypto art, gifs, and many more multimedia issues that are founded on the principles of blockchain technology. The growth of the NFTs has been part of the larger crypto-asset growth that began during the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020... Read More

                In July 2020, Amazon announced its plan to open its first fulfillment center in El Paso.

             The state of the economy has an incredibly significant impact on the everyday lives of Americans. When the economy is stable and growing, we experience an increase in job opportunities, higher incomes, higher GDP rates, lower unemployment rates, lower inflation rates, and an overall sense of stability and well-being.

However, it has almost always been in the most basic and oversimplified context- one where I keep learning the same things over and over again. I have been made to question the concepts that were taught to me, and one thought that has alwasy nagged at me is, “Why does economics overlook the nuances of human life and its correlation to the quality of .......
