☆ The big new Exxon Mobil climate change deal that got an assist from Joe Biden

The law may help oil companies like ExxonMobil build profitable businesses to replace some of the revenue and profit they'll lose as EVs proliferate. Maybe, if carbon capture and storage is indeed as big a deal as ExxonMobil's first-of-its-kind deal to extract, transport and store carbon from other companies' factories implies. Could it be that Big Oil's next big thing got a big assist from Joe Biden? An industrial facility on the Houston Ship Channel where Exxon Mobil is proposing a carbon capture and sequestration network. And big oil and gas companies are where the expertise is."

☆ Wall Street is skeptical of GM's ambitious EV plans

DETROIT – Wall Street is skeptical of General Motors' plans to produce profitable electric vehicles years ahead of schedule and substantially bring down battery costs amid supply chain problems and broader economic concerns. GM's average rating is overweight with a 12-month target price of $47.77 per share, according to analysts compiled by FactSet. That would be years ahead of schedule and mean a dramatic decline in the automaker's battery costs amid supply chain problems, cyclical demand concerns and potential shortages in raw materials. It boosted its cash flow guidance to between $10 billion and $11 billion, up from $7 billion and $9 billion. Here are comments from other analysts as well as their ratings and price targets for GM following the investor event.

James Corden opened his talk show Monday night with an apology, saying his behavior that led to a brief ban from famed New York restaurant Balthazar last week was "wrong." The apology came days after Corden, 44, dismissed the drama surrounding the brief ban as "silly" and insisted he had not done anything wrong. On Monday's episode of “The Late Late Show," however, the star backtracked and acknowledged that he had made a "rude comment" to a server at Balthazar. I made a rude comment and it was wrong,” Corden said. He said he hoped he would be welcomed back to Balthazar next time he's in NYC so he could make his apologies in person.

CNN —James Corden used his opening monologue in Monday’s “The Late Late Show” to address the recent incident that saw him temporarily banned from a New York brasserie. He said she had been brought an incorrect order three times, when he “in the heat of the moment…made a sarcastic, rude comment about cooking it myself.”“It’s a comment I deeply regret,” he added. Corden said he didn’t realize he had done anything wrong because he didn’t “shout or scream.”“I didn’t get up out of my seat. I made a rude comment and it was wrong, it was an unnecessary comment, it was ungracious to the server,” he said. Corden concluded the monologue by saying he would like to go to Balthazar when he was back in New York and apologize in person.

Oct 24 (Reuters) - Heavy-machinery maker Caterpillar Inc. (CAT.N) is expected to report a double-digit growth in profit and revenue when it releases quarterly earnings on Thursday, as demand for the company's equipment and parts remains robust. Still, investors will be looking for signs of softening demand as expectations of a global recession increase and after a sales miss in the previous quarter. The world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment has weathered inflationary pressures, supply chain constraints and escalating freight and production costs by increasing prices over the last two years. Caterpillar is expected to post third-quarter earnings of $3.16 per share on $1.67 billion of net income, compared with $1.45 billion a year ago. However, McNally said falling commodity prices could impact the industrial bellwether going forward as economic data suggest weakening demand for oil.

Elon Musk’s Twitter account is displayed on the screen of an iPhone on April 26, 2022 in Paris, France. The end of the line for Elon and TwitterWhat a long strange trip it's been. That might be the best way to sum up the Elon Musk-Twitter saga that has played out over the past six-plus months. It finally appears an end is in sight*, or at least the closing of a transaction. The main issue remains how Musk will come up with the $44 billion needed to actually buy Twitter.

James Corden said the drama surrounding his brief ban from the famed New York City restaurant Balthazar is "silly" because he has not done anything wrong. "I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level,” Corden said in an interview with The New York Times to promote his new Amazon Prime Video mini-series "Mammals." It’s certainly beneath your publication," he told The New York Times. One report said Corden showed a hair to an apologetic restaurant manager and demanded "another round of drinks this second." During his interview with The New York Times, Corden pointed out a customer who "curtly" returned the eggs she ordered.

“Happens every day,” Corden said. Soon after McNally posted that, Corden had called him and “apologized profusely,” according to the restauranteur, and all was resolved. “I haven’t done anything wrong, on any level,” Corden told the Times, adding that he wouldn’t have canceled the interview over the awkwardness of having to discuss it. Because I think it’s so silly,” Corden said. “I just think it’s beneath all of us.

Third-quarter results from the big Wall Street banks are now behind us, and they were … pretty good, all things considered? Goldman Sachs reported yesterday, and while it may not be the biggest nor the best bank (OK, No. Trading and dealmaking made the reputation of the 153-year-old Wall Street firm, but the spotlight lately has been on its struggling consumer banking unit, Marcus. The consumer business "doesn't make money at the moment," Solomon acknowledged, but he added: "The deposits are hugely valuable. From Wall Street darlings to prey.

When I read that New York restaurateur Keith McNally had banned “The Late Late Show” host James Corden from famed restaurant Balthazar for allegedly abusive behavior, I was shocked. Not at hearing accusations that a wealthy celebrity had been rude to people in the hospitality industry, but at something far less common: a restaurant owner’s criticizing and barring a client, in public no less. Unfortunately, online reservation systems have also magnified one of the reasons diners used to end up being shunned: the reservation no-show. Few would dare to speak to podiatrists or electricians that way, but most restaurant servers tolerate it because they depend on tips — which can be upward of 70% of their earnings. What doesn’t is a restaurant owner’s publicly standing up for employees by telling bad customers that they have been banned.

"After that, everything was fine," the report said, noting that the manager gave Corden promo Champagne glasses to "smooth things out."

In an initial Instagram post, Keith McNally described Corden as a "tiny Cretin of a man" and accused him of being extremely abusive to a manager and a server at his Balthazar restaurant.

McNally also said that Corden was "the most abusive customer to my Balthazar servers since the restaurant opened 25 years ago."

☆ Fury at Saudi Arabia revives calls for US to throw the book at OPEC

New York CNN Business —OPEC+’s decision to slash oil production has set off bipartisan fury in Washington directed at the Saudi Arabia-led group, raising calls for a hard-hitting US response. And as Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna told CNN earlier this week, in some ways the United States is less dependent on Saudi Arabia and other OPEC nations than in the past. US oil production has skyrocketed over the past 15 years, driving down foreign oil imports. Last year, US crude oil imports from OPEC nations stood at just 798,000 barrels per day. OPEC nations are among the only countries with the firepower to fill any gap created by the potential loss of Russian supply.

☆ Un bebeluş din Marea Britanie a stat patru luni cu o baterie blocată în gât

Un copil de 11 luni care a refuzat mâncare solidă vreme de luni întregi avea o baterie blocată în gât, informează BBC, citat de digi24.ro. Doctorii credeau că Sofia-Grace Hill avea amigdalită sau o infecție virală, până când o radiografie a dezvăluit că avea o baterie plată cu diametrul de 2,4 centimetri în esofag. Copilul din Marea Britanie a fost supus unei operații de două ore pentru îndepărtarea obiectului și apoi a trecut pe o dietă lichidă. După o vizită la spital în luna mai, o radiografie a dezvăluit că copilul avea o baterie blocată în esofag și aceasta îi afectase puternic gâtul pentru că se corodase. Sofia-Grace Hill a avut un tub introdus în gât pentru a fi hrănită, dar și pentru a preveni sufocarea.
