The McRib may truly only be back for a limited time. On Oct. 30, U.S. District Judge April M. Perry in Chicago ruled that a proposed class-action McRib lawsuit against McDonald’s can move forward. Filed by four consumers last December, the suit says the highly popular sandwich contains no rib meat.

The company describes the meat as “seasoned boneless pork,” according to The New York Times, and lists its ingredients on its website. It…

By enabling partners to deliver tailored AI solutions built around customer workflows, data, integration and governance, vendors can unlock new, higher-value revenue streams.

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Post-Covid-19, more people are seeking out flexible roles and the ability to work multiple part-time jobs. At the same time, a tough job market has produced a surplus of highly skilled workers, while many companies don’t have the funds to fill those roles full-time. Leadership roles are also simply growing more complex. Fractional executives work on a part-time basis, but they are still embedded in your team. They make decisions that drive outcomes and are responsible for what happens as a result.  Hiring full-time workers is a commitment, especially at the…

Outdated power grids are a major hurdle in the transition to renewable energy, since older systems often can’t absorb all the electricity from new, cleaner sources.This threatens global efforts to curb climate change by reducing fossil fuels and switching to renewable energy such as solar and wind. At U.N. climate talks kicking off this week, co-hosts Turkey and Australia want more ambitious goals to slash fossil fuels, install renewables and upgrade grids.Grid concerns are gaining urgency this year as nations race to improve their energy security following the Iran war.

Before long, the organization is carrying far more than anyone intended, and very little ever gets taken off the table. Sound familiar? Leaders aren’t nearly as good at subtraction.
