"A fiscal commission is direly needed," Republican Senator Mike Braun, a Budget Committee member, said in an interview. It circulated ideas from a dozen experts on how a commission could offer up solutions for taming deficits and debt. Other recommendations included subjecting high-income earners to more Social Security taxes and gradually raising the age for full retirement benefits to 69 from the current 67. A commission, said independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with Democrats, would simply be "a backdoor way to get into cutting Social Security." Sanders embraced lifting the cap on taxable income to extend the life of the Social Security trust fund.

But the OpenAI board’s sudden ouster of CEO Sam Altman last week looks increasingly like a misguided kamikaze run. Mr. Altman helped launch OpenAI in 2015 with the mission of responsibly developing artificial intelligence to benefit humanity. He has since become the technology’s public face, with media appearances and testimony to Congress.

And that may be the logic of Argentina voters on Sunday who rejected the catastrophe of Peronist rule in favor of impulsive and charismatic outsider Javier Milei , who promised what for Argentina is the radical change of free-market economics. Mr. Milei, a Congressman and self-described libertarian, won the Presidency in a rout with 56% of the vote to 44%. He defeated Sergio Massa , the incumbent economic minister and architect of the policies that have produced runaway inflation, declining living standards, a government shedding foreign reserves, and the worst economic crisis in decades.

Reuters GraphicsA less orthodox option would be to invest in emerging markets instead. The last time net equity investment in the U.S. NIIP dipped close to negative territory was as the dot-com bubble was deflating in 2001.

You need to put politics aside to shrink government budget deficits — or that’s the conventional wisdom, anyway. I was given an early look last week at a new collection that includes her essay and eight others commissioned by the foundation. Heitkamp told me last week that by politics, she doesn’t mean the kind of skirmishing for electoral advantage that Washington is famous for. Her essay quotes President Abraham Lincoln, who said: “Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail; without it nothing can succeed.”“When you’re faced with tough choices, as certainly Lincoln was, you can’t expect people to follow you,” Heitkamp told me.

WASHINGTON—Two Olympians are competing to influence federal nutrition policy on a question for Americans’ breakfast tables: Does milk do a body good? In one corner is Olympic cyclist Dotsie Bausch, who is urging a federally appointed scientific advisory panel to rethink the official U.S. dietary guidelines, which promote dairy as one of the five food groups. She stopped eating meat and then dairy two years before the 2012 Olympic Games in London and credits that decision for helping her win a silver medal for the U.S. shortly before turning 40.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar got a prominent Democratic primary challenger Sunday when former Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels announced he'll try once again to unseat her after coming close in 2022. But Omar — a Somali American and Muslim — has come under renewed fire for condemning the Israeli government’s handling of its war against Hamas. Jeremy Slevin, a spokesman for Omar, did not immediately return a phone message left Sunday seeking comment on Samuels' announcement. Omar has been critical of Hamas for attacking Israel and taking hostages — but even more so of Israel’s military response. That drew pushback from a strong supporter of Israel, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who issued a public show of support for Omar this summer.

Indeed, imports of Chinese goods to the United States were down 24% through September compared with the same period of 2022.

The Patriots are competing with the Kansas City Chiefs to be the most popular team in Germany, thanks in part to Vollmer's legacy.

For over a decade, photographer Christopher Payne has been documenting people, processes and products at U.S. factories. A former architect, Payne brings an eye for structure and beauty to work on every scale from medicine vials to airplane hangars. Some of Payne’s industrial photographs were made on assignment, but more often he simply emails a factory and asks to take pictures. What matters to him isn’t the prestige or perceived value of the finished product but the complex activities behind it. He has photographed at Tesla , John Deere and Whirlpool, in factories so vast that one cannot see from end to end, and also at small specialty hardware makers with no public-facing storefronts.

Nov 10 (Reuters) - Shares of Plug Power (PLUG.O) plunged nearly 30% in premarket trading on Friday after the hydrogen fuelcell maker raised going concern doubts. Plug has been facing liquidity issues and has lost more than half of its market capitalization since the start of the year. Its annual financial performance has also been impacted by "unprecedented" supply challenges in the hydrogen network in North America. The Latham, New York-based Plug said cash and equivalents at the end on Sept. 30 stood at $110.8 million. Plug on Thursday also reported a bigger loss for the three months ended Sept. 30 and its revenue of $198.7 million widely missed estimate of $228.2 million, according to LSEG data.

Heinz’s newest ketchup tastes like pickles

New York CNN —Ketchup and pickles have been a natural combination on a hamburger and hot dogs for decades. Rolling out to grocery store shelves in early 2024, Heinz’s newest flavor of its famous ketchup is called “Pickle Ketchup,” which combines the “tangy and savory flavor” of pickles with the “unmistakable taste” of its ketchup. Heinz’s purple ketchup experiment in 2000 has its own entry in the Museum of Failure. The pickle taste is also subtle enough to combine with others, making it an appealing flavor to experiment with. Through 2027, Kraft Heinz has a goal of bringing in an additional $2 billion in North American retail revenue from innovation.
