Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon in race against time to make Week 1 with foot injury
The Houston Texans have been hit with a major blow after Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon sustained a foot injury that could see him miss the start of the season. The 29-year-old Mixon will miss 'an extended period of time' according to NFL Insider Ian Rapoport and has had his foot in a walking boot. But at present, it is unclear how Mixon hurt himself. He is on the 'non-football injury list' because the issue occured in the offseason and was not sustained through playing the game. Mixon is expected to be revealuated closer to Week One, where the Texans start the season in Los Angeles against the Rams. If Mixon is struggling to make the start of the season, it would be another significant loss for the Texans. Wide receiver Tank Dell is expected to miss the entire campaign after sustaining a serious knee injury against Kansas City Chiefs last season that required multiple surgeries.

Chilling prediction about Florida's condo crisis - the 5 crucial factors for the next 3 months
Experts have issued a chilling warning about the future of Florida 's condo market as insiders warn that the next three months could bring even more instability. Florida's condo market is facing a full-blown crisis, Miami real estate insiders have told Daily Mail. In an exclusive interview, Joe Brikman, Team Leader at The Modern Day Team, and Luxury Development Specialist Rebecca Fischer explained the reality facing both buyers and sellers in what they describe as a 'cautiously optimistic' but quickly changing market. The top realtors are predicting major instability in the next three months as buyers are urged to avoid rushing into bad deals. 'The biggest piece of advice I'd give is: don't rush,' said Brikman. 'The deals are out there, but you need to do your homework.' 'Make sure you're working with an agent who understands what to look for especially when it comes to building financials, reserves, and upcoming assessments,' he said. 'It's not just about the unit, it's about the health of the entire building.' The duo outlined five crucial factors every potential Miami condo buyer must consider, starting with building reserves which are more critical than ever before, especially after the devastating 2021 collapse of condo building Champlain Towers South in Surfside. Looking ahead, the experts predict a continuously emerging market over the next six months with a major clash between old and new buildings. File picture of Collins Avenue, Caribbean South Beach Condominium These are the crucial factors Miami condo buyers should watch out for right now: 1. Building reserves Make sure the building has strong reserves in place. It's more crucial than ever under new state laws. 2. Assessments Ask if there are any current or upcoming special assessments. These can cost owners thousands and often come as a surprise after closing. 3. Inspection and recertification Confirm that the building has passed its required 40-year (or 30-year in some counties) safety inspection. 4. HOA fees Take a close look at monthly HOA fees and what they include. Many buildings have raised dues significantly to meet legal requirements. 5. Insurance costs Premiums across Florida are skyrocketing. Buyers should factor rising insurance rates into their long-term budgeting The 2021 collapse of a condo building in Surfside led to a new law that requires condo buildings to undergo structural inspections and shore up reserves Looking ahead, the experts predict a continuously emerging market over the next six months with a major clash between old and new buildings. He said savvy buyers, who have done their research, will come out on top. 'Over the next 3 months, I think we'll keep seeing price adjustments, especially in older buildings that haven't addressed reserve requirements,' Brikman said. 'In six months, the buyers who've done their research and bought smart will be sitting in a great position,' he predicted. 'I think newer buildings and those with clean financials will stay strong, while others may continue to struggle.' Still, the market disruption has created some jaw-dropping opportunities. The Modern Day Team currently has a $350,000 four-bedroom penthouse in North Miami Beach, a $750,000 two-bedroom penthouse in Brickell, and a two-bedroom waterfront apartment in Miami Beach hitting the market soon. There are still areas with opportunity for buyers. Edgewater, parts of Downtown, Brickell, and North Miami Beach are emerging as value hotspots, particularly for new construction buildings. 'On the Resale We're seeing sellers get more flexible some are offering to cover closing costs, buy down interest rates, or even cover a few months of HOA fees,' he revealed. 'Cash buyers especially have more room to negotiate.' When asked to sum up this year's market in two words, the response was telling: 'Cautiously optimistic'. 'Buyers are still active, but they're more careful and they should be,' Fischer noted. 'It's a different kind of market than it was a year ago.' The 2021 collapse of a condo building in Surfside led to a new law that requires condo buildings to undergo structural inspections and shore up reserves. This has meant that many HOAs have been hiking fees and doling out hefty special assessments to comply with the new rules, which has reduced demand for condos. The Surfside condo collapse saw 98 die in the tragedy. There are now new plans for a $15million-per-unit apartment block on the site dubbed The Delmore. The ultra-luxury high-rise is being constructed by Dubai-based developer Damac Properties after it purchased the land for $120million less than one year after the collapse on June 24, 2021.

New study reveals crippling impact of California's minimum wage hike
California 's dramatic fast food wage hike may have backfired, according to a new economic study – wiping out an estimated 18,000 jobs across the state in just one year. The research, published this month by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), analyzed the impact of Assembly Bill 1228, which mandated a $20 hourly minimum wage for fast food workers at large chains starting April 1, 2024. According to the economists behind the study, fast food employment in California dropped by 3.2 percent, while jobs in the same sector grew slightly across the rest of the U.S. 'Our median estimate translates into a loss of 18,000 jobs in California's fast–food sector relative to the counterfactual,' wrote researchers Jeffrey Clemens, Olivia Edwards, and Jonathan Meer. Before the law took effect, California's fast food industry was tracking the same employment trend as the rest of the country, the study found. But after AB 1228 was passed, the sector began to shrink. 'Following AB 1228's enactment, employment in the fast food sector in California fell substantially,' the paper states, citing declines 'even as employment in other sectors of the California economy tracked national trends'. Critics say the figures confirm what many feared: that a massive one–size–fits–all pay hike would push jobs out of reach for the workers it was meant to help. 'When it comes to central planning, history keeps the receipts: Wage controls never work,' wrote Heritage Foundation economist Rachel Greszler in a column reacting to the findings. 'That's because policymakers can set wage laws, but they can't outlaw the consequences.' She warned the law should serve as a wake–up call for other cities – especially Los Angeles, which recently voted to raise wages for hotel and airport workers to $30 an hour by 2028. 'The consequences of that wage hike on the fast–food industry should be a warning sign,' she said. The Wall Street Journal editorial board echoed that message, slamming politicians for 'magical thinking' around wage hikes. 'The Democratic Party's socialist nominee for New York mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has called for increasing the city's minimum wage to $30. Andrew Cuomo, his supposedly more moderate competitor, wants a $20 minimum,' the board wrote. 'These guys will never learn because they don't want to see the world as it really is.' But Governor Gavin Newsom's office has pushed back hard – questioning the integrity of the NBER paper and insisting California's wage law is working as intended. Tara Gallegos, Newsom's deputy director of communications, dismissed the study as politically motivated, telling Fox News Digital that it was 'linked to the Hoover Institution,' which she claimed had previously published 'false or misleading information' about the state's wage policies. She pointed to an October 2024 report in the San Francisco Chronicle, which said the early effects of AB 1228, 'defy a lot of the doom–and–gloom predictions' made when the bill was signed. Gallegos also cited a February 2025 study by a UC Berkeley professor, which looked at fast food employment trends through December and found 'no negative effects.' 'Workers covered by the policy saw wage increases of 8 to 9 percent, with no negative wage or employment effects on non–covered workers,' she said. 'No negative effects on fast–food employment.' She added: 'The number of fast–food establishments grew faster in California than in the rest of the U.S.' As for prices, the Berkeley study claimed menu costs rose by only 1.5 percent - about six cents on a $4 hamburger. The NBER paper also looked at whether the law had a knock-on effect in full-service restaurants, which weren't subject to the $20 mandate but compete for the same workers. The authors found smaller but still negative employment effects - a median drop of 2.12 percent. And while critics were quick to blame the law for economic pain, the researchers warned against cherry-picking isolated data.
