The first time Washington Post staff photographer Marvin Joseph spoke in my class, all I remember thinking was that I wanted to be that cool someday. From that day on, I dreamed of joining the Post, telling stories and photographing people the same way he approached his work. On Wednesday morning, the Washington Post laid off the entire photo staff. Who will be there to ensure the Washington Post captures these moments? I mourn for the people laid off this week, but mostly, I mourn for the generation after me that will not view the Washington Post the way I did.

In the most recent funding cycles, however, nearly 1,000 vouchers were tentatively assigned to the Tesla Semi, giving Tesla a substantially larger share of funding than any other manufacturer. However, even after revisions to public data, Tesla remains positioned to receive roughly $165 million, while the next-largest recipient, the Canadian bus manufacturer New Flyer, secured about $68 million. At the time voucher requests were submitted for the Tesla Semi, publicly accessible certification records were incomplete, and only the 2024 model year appeared as eligible. Voucher values for the Tesla Semi have ranged from approximately $84,000 to $351,000 per vehicle after data adjustments.

Dillon Gage Metals, a Texas-based metals trading firm, told Forbes it projects a higher value of about $2,357 for a Milan Cortina gold medal and $1,399 for a silver medal, based on a spot gold price of $4,967.90 per troy ounce and a price of $87 for silver. How Much Could Athletes Sell Their Medals For? Athletes willing to sell medals they win in Milan Cortina could be looking at a big payday, Bobby Eaton, an Olympics memorabilia expert at the Boston-based RR Auction house, told Forbes. He estimated a gold medal could be auctioned for between $60,000 and $80,000 if an athlete decides to sell it in the weeks following the Olympics, noting the price can go even higher if the medal was won by a famous athlete in a popular sport. Olympians can get the most value out of their medals immediately following the Games, Eaton said, because “there’s not a lot on the market, and that brings the value up because collectors want a complete full set.” Eaton said, though, the rising value of gold and silver likely would not impact how much medals could be auctioned for because they derive their value from the fact they are Olympic medals and are highly sought after by collectors, not because they are made of precious metals.
