🌱 Migrant Bussing Program + Cooling Centers Study

Hi all. I'm back in your inbox this morning with the most important things happening these days in town. Without further ado...

First, today's weather:

Warm; breezy in the afternoon. High: 106 Low: 72.

Here are the top three stories in Yuma today:

1. Last month, Arizona bussed more than 500 asylum seekers to Washington, D.C. from Yuma. The program started in mid-May. Fourteen buses have left Yuma since the program's start, according to Governor Doug Ducey's office. All of the program's migrants voluntarily agreed to the bussing practice. (AZ Family)
2. Mexican prosecutors have located a fentanyl manufacturing facility in the town across from Yuma. The town of San Luis Rio Colorado is usually known for catering to American tourists seeking cheaper medical services and prescriptions. The facility pressed the drug into a shape that was meant to look like Xanax, Adderall, or Oxycodone. The practice of disguising the drug has led to thousands of deaths in the United States. (ABC 15)
3. A study conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is researching the effectiveness of cooling centers in Yuma County. According to the report, heat exposure rates rose in the county since 2010. The study recommends opening more cooling centers in Yuma County. Click to read the full report. (Fronteras Desk)

Are you a Yuma resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can’t afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)
