I have a prediction: we’re about to see a record number of vehicles recalled. Why? Because recalls tend to “trend” or come in clusters. When a company that rarely issues recalls–such as Tesla–announces one, many automakers follow suit for a surprising reason.
Ontario’s government-owned marijuana wholesaler was sitting on more than 500 million Canadian dollars ($367 million) in cash earlier this year, but officials have declined to spell out why the Ontario Cannabis Store held on to that much money rather than remit some of it back to the provincial government earlier.
What happens on an “average day” for the “average American”? Let’s start with our driving habits and then look at our eating, drinking and traveling, and then at America’s averages for population growth, immigration and government spending, and finally at the sad figures for mass shootings and addiction.

There’s been a bombardment of bad news for drug supplies. The American Society of Health-System Pharmacists found this summer that nearly all of the members it surveyed were experiencing drug shortages, which generally affect half a million Americans. Cancer patients have scrambled as supplies of chemotherapy drugs dwindle.

The toll on Americans is heavy.
It’s time to get real about artificial intelligence applied to our drug development and manufacturing outsourcing – practical supply-chain enhancements from AI-generated insights that can be implemented right now. A helpful source in this undertaking is Professor Tinglong Dai of Johns Hopkins University.
Zoom fatigue — the mental and physical strain of back-to-back video calls — became a major concern in 2020. For some workers, the challenges remain.

The emergence of AI in the workplace has brought with it concerns from some workers about losing their jobs to software. That tension played a significant role in the Writers Guild of America strike and a lesser one in the UAW strike.

A study has found that your online profile picture may play a key role in whether you get hired. The study also found that if your profile photo suggests you “look the part,” those hiring you as an employee or freelancer may be more likely to give that more weight than lower ratings, lack of certifications and a fewer number of reviews than your close competitors.
There were three words that made consumers tremble during the pandemic — supply chain issues. We suffered shortages of everything from toys to toilet paper because of manufacturing slowdowns in China and shipping disruptions across the globe. One expert told me that those issues are still affecting the economy today, but in a very different way.
