CLEVELAND — Fresh off a comfortable re-election victory in 2018, Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, considered running for president on a populist message aimed at the many working-class Midwest voters who had fled the Democratic Party in favor of Donald Trump. He spoke of a “post-Senate mission” to reorient Democrats as the “party of workers” in Middle America. “But I lost in large part because the national reputation of the Democratic Party is that we are sort of a lighter version of a corporation — a corporate party. And that’s one of the reasons that working-class voters have been willing to look away from the Democratic Party. Brown talks of NAFTA like it’s an original sin for his party — the moment Democrats began losing the working class.

What could be the most important Week 15 NFL matchup isn’t a faceoff between division leaders. Yet those four teams have either already clinched playoff berths or are all but certain to. With a win, the Colts’ chances of making the playoffs would increase from 25% to 51%, according to NFL.com’s playoff probability tracker. Since 2000, there have been five seasons in which multiple rookie quarterbacks started playoff games. For Nix, that includes winning a matchup Sunday that won’t ever be confused with the schedule’s buzziest matchup — but is perhaps its most consequential.

The Summary A report on proposed changes to U.S. dietary guidelines suggests encouraging people to eat more beans and lentils for protein and less red meat. Eat more beans, peas and lentils as protein sources and decrease consumption of processed and red meat — those changes are among the recommendations detailed in a new report suggesting potential updates to U.S. dietary guidelines. Under the current dietary guidelines, beans, peas and lentils are categorized as both vegetables and protein foods. Replacing some red and processed meats with plant-based protein sources could help address that, Odoms-Young said. "That's not saying that you can't eat animal protein, but how do you have a diet where you can increase the amount of plant-based protein in the diet," she said.

In fact, consumers have said at least since this summer that they’re pulling back on how often they tip workers like waiters, hairstylists and drivers. And at full-service restaurants, tips averaged $21.48 per hour as of September, according to a report released Tuesday by the payments processor Toast.

☆ GM is pulling the plug on its robotaxi efforts
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-10 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —General Motors is pulling the plug on its efforts to develop a fleet of driverless taxis and will focus on driver-assistance features that require a driver to be ready to take control of the car, the company said Tuesday. GM faces competition in the robotaxi market from Google’s Waymo unit in partnership with Uber, let alone ride-hailing and taxi services that use human drivers. But GM has decided that’s no longer a sector in which it makes sense to compete. GM CEO Mary Barra told investors Tuesday that the company decided the robotaxi service was not part of GM’s core business, and that shifting its self-driving technology efforts to driver assist features available on privately-owned cars will help with the products it offers to car buyers. “GM is committed to delivering the best driving experiences to our customers in a disciplined and capital efficient manner,” said Barra in a statement.

Private payrolls growth was less than expected in November, reflecting a slowing labor market, according to a report Wednesday from ADP. Companies added 146,000 jobs on the month, below the downwardly revised 184,000 in October and less than the Dow Jones estimate for 163,000. Education and health services led job creation, adding 50,000 positions on the month.
