We're tracking the disruptions caused by Stellantis' bold move to offer buyouts to its US employees as they make the monumental shift to electric vehicles. How will this affect the automobile industry? You'll have to listen to find out. Wake up to the geopolitical dance between President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping. What are the economic benefits? How will the thorny issues surrounding the South China Sea be addressed? We're breaking it all down. Plus, as we gear up for the holiday season, we're casting a critical eye on the changing landscape of Black Friday. Yes, consumer fatigue is real, and it's reshaping this once blockbuster shopping event.
