第一則：BNT 疫苗採購爆詐騙 慈濟遭騙逾 10 億元
法務部調查局表示，陳姓律師等人涉嫌利用採購輝瑞 BNT 新冠疫苗，詐騙慈濟基金會超過新台幣十億元。台中地檢署於 8 月 6 日起訴涉案人員，並已查扣現金、黃金、存款與豪宅等財產。
慈濟表示，基金會將全力配合司法調查，並採取必要措施維護捐款人權益。慈濟也希望法院判決有罪後，相關犯罪所得可以依法返還基金會。
BNT COVID-19 Vaccine Purchase Scam Costs Tzu Chi Foundation Over NT$1 Billion
The Ministry of Justice Investigation Bureau said that a lawyer surnamed Chen and others allegedly used the purchase of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines to defraud the Tzu Chi Foundation of more than NT$1 billion. The Taichung District Prosecutors Office indicted the suspects on August 6 and seized cash, gold, bank deposits, mansions, and other assets.
Tzu Chi said the foundation will fully cooperate with the judicial investigation and take necessary steps to protect donors’ rights. Tzu Chi also hopes that if the court finds the suspects guilty, the illegal proceeds can be returned to the foundation.
第二則：Uber Eats 疊單計酬 勞動部認定違法
《外送員權益保障及外送平臺管理法》上路後，Uber Eats 表示，外送員平均時薪已有提升。不過，外送工會質疑，平台將「疊單」配送時間拆分計算，導致外送員實際報酬被低估。
勞動部表示，Uber Eats 未依規定將每筆訂單的服務時間如實計入基本報酬，已違反《外送專法》，若地方勞工局查證屬實，將按外送員人數裁罰，每案至少罰新台幣兩萬元，並要求限期改善。
Uber Eats’ Pay for Batched Orders Ruled Illegal by The Ministry of Labor
After the Act for the Delivery Workers’ Rights Protection and Delivery Platform Management Act took effect, Uber Eats said delivery workers’ average hourly pay had increased. However, delivery workers’ unions questioned the claim, saying the platform divided the delivery time for batched orders, which caused workers’ actual pay to be underestimated.
The Ministry of Labor said Uber Eats did not include the full service time for each order when calculating basic pay, which violated the Food Delivery Act. If the Department of Labor confirms the violation, the company will be fined based on the number of affected workers, with a minimum fine of NT$20,000 for each case, and will be ordered to correct the problem within a set period.
第三則：川普再限制出生公民權 生育旅遊也遭封堵
美國總統川普於 8 月 6 日簽署兩項行政命令，限縮部分在美出生兒童取得公民身分的資格，並加強打擊外籍人士專程赴美生產的「生育旅遊」。
川普表示，此舉是因應最高法院先前駁回相關行政命令後提出的新做法。不過，最高法院已重申，美國憲法保障大多數在美國出生的嬰兒取得公民身分，因此新措施是否能順利推動，後續仍可能面臨法律挑戰。
Trump Again Limits Birthright Citizenship and Targets Birth Tourism
U.S. President Donald Trump signed two executive orders on August 6 to limit citizenship eligibility for some children born in the United States and to strengthen efforts against “birth tourism,” in which foreign nationals travel to the country mainly to give birth.
Trump said the new measures were introduced after the Supreme Court rejected an earlier executive order on the issue. However, the Supreme Court has already reaffirmed that the U.S. Constitution protects the right of most babies born in the United States to receive citizenship. As a result, the new measures may still face legal challenges before they can be fully carried out.
第四則：便當市場大爆發 超商與肉品大廠全面搶攻
台灣便當市場近年快速成長，根據統計，前年全台便當與自助餐店已突破一萬家，年營業額超過 315 億元，成長率居餐飲業之冠。除了傳統便當店持續展店，超商與肉品大廠也積極加入市場競爭。
統一超商表示，去年健康輕食便當業績成長近三成。卜蜂則跨足便當市場，並打進台積電與美光等科技廠員工餐廳，顯示健康與便利需求正持續帶動便當商機升溫。
Lunch Box Market Booms as Convenience Stores and Food Companies Join the Competition
Taiwan’s lunch box market has grown rapidly in recent years. According to statistics, the number of lunch box and buffet shops in Taiwan exceeded 10,000 the year before last, while annual revenue surpassed 31.5 billion Taiwan dollars. The growth rate ranked first in the restaurant industry. In addition to traditional lunch box stores continuing to expand, convenience stores and food companies have also actively joined the competition.
President Chain Store Corporation said that sales of healthy light meal lunch boxes grew by nearly 30% last year. Meanwhile, Charoen Pokphand Enterprise expanded into the lunch box market and entered employee cafeterias at technology companies such as TSMC and Micron Technology. This shows that demand for healthy and convenient meals continues to drive growth in Taiwan’s lunch box business.
第五則：越忙越容易做錯決定！別讓壓力讓你短視近利
隧道視野指的是人們在時間、金錢或關係匱乏時，容易只專注眼前問題，像身處隧道一樣看不見全局，因此容易做出短視近利的決策。
想擺脫隧道視野，可以減少生活干擾、保有餘裕，並為重要但不緊急的事情設定提醒，在身處隧道時，強迫自己改變當下的處境。
The Busier You Are, the Easier It Is to Make Poor Decisions! Do Not Let Stress Make You Short-Sighted
The tunnel vision means that when people lack time, money, or supportive relationships, they tend to focus only on the problem in front of them. Like being inside a tunnel, they cannot see the bigger picture, so they may make short-sighted decisions.
To break free from tunnel vision, we can reduce daily distractions, keep some extra space in our schedule or budget, and set reminders for important but non-urgent tasks. These steps can push us to change our situation even when we feel stuck inside the tunnel.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
A lawyer and others allegedly defrauded Tzu Chi of over NT$1 billion through the BNT COVID-19 vaccine purchase scheme, while the foundation seeks the return of the illegal proceeds.
Uber Eats’ pay system for batched orders was ruled illegal because it failed to count the full service time for each delivery, which may have caused workers to be underpaid.
Trump signed new orders to limit birthright citizenship and birth tourism, but the measures may still face legal challenges under the U.S. Constitution.
As demand for healthy and convenient meals continues to grow, Taiwan’s lunch box market is attracting more competition from convenience stores, food companies, and major brands.
The tunnel vision caused by resource scarcity narrows people’s perspective to immediate crises, but individuals can escape this trap by minimizing distractions, leaving buffers, and setting clear goals.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
