Last week's highlights...

Snacks / Monday, October 17, 2022
  • Spicy: September inflation was up a hotter-than-expected 8.2% from last year as consumers kept spending through price hikes. That dashed hopes that the Fed might soon simmer down with its aggro rate hikes.
  • TikShock: A BBC investigation found that TikTok has been profiting from charitable live streams, reportedly pocketing up to 70% of donations to displaced families in Syria. TikTok is no stranger to accusations of sketchy practices.
  • Ricall: Amazon-backed electric-truck maker Rivian said it was recalling 12K cars (nearly all the EVs it’s ever built) over safety concerns. While the recall isn’t likely to dent Rivian’s coffers, it’s hurting its nascent rep.
