Vegetarians typically don’t have to specify “no meat or plastic” when buying food, but a MorningStar Farms recall begs to differ. The plant-based food brand has recalled vegetarian chicken nuggets and sausage patties due to the possible presence of plastic, according to a Monday, June 22, announcement published by the Food and Drug Administration. Think you might have one of the affected products? Here’s what you need to know about the MorningStar Farms recall. What products are affected? The two recalled products were distributed in the U.S., Puerto Rico, and Costa Rica. Here is the specific information for the items…

Not having a clear plan can feel irresponsible. We’re taught that successful people map everything out before they begin. That they have a five-year strategy, a perfectly timed roadmap, and certainty about what comes next. But most people don’t get stuck because they lack a plan. They get stuck because they believe they need one before they move. After building a business from the ground up, including stepping into an online model with no prior experience, I’ve learned that clarity rarely comes first. More often, clarity is the result of movement. If you’re feeling stuck, here are three practical ways…
Uber’s mobile apps present a pleasing simplicity of costs: You know the fare upfront, and the only math left is how much to tip. But the factors governing your driver’s profit on any one ride, and over their ongoing business, are far from simple. A recent report by Columbia Business School professor Len Sherman, which he unveiled with the gig-work-optimization app GigU at the Web Summit Rio conference, tries to dispel that financial fog by crunching data shared confidentially by a few experienced drivers. Sherman’s conclusion: By deploying algorithmic pricing and shifting costs, Uber has revved up its U.S. “take…
Speaking at Cisco’s AI Summit in February, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argued that concern over hypercapable AI replacing human knowledge workers en masse was overblown. “You’re not going to lose your job to AI,” he declared. “You’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.” You could regard this prospect as ominous in itself. Or you could seize the opportunity to become that “someone who uses AI.” These days, that doesn’t just mean querying a chatbot. It means harnessing AI agents. Using them can free up time for you to do your best work. Here’s a guide to…
Michael Burry, the investor whose controversial bet against the housing market was made famous in The Big Short, is continuing his campaign against another, perhaps even frothier target: Nvidia. Here’s why entrepreneurs outside the AI sector should still be taking note. In a pair of Substack posts he published on May 25 and May 22, Burry argues that the computer chip giant—both a driver of and a beneficiary from the ongoing artificial intelligence boom—is displaying ominous financial indicators and, he adds, seems primed for “an aggressive fall.” If the trajectory of the AI sector ends up looking anything like that of the 2008 financial crisis Burry…
Keir Starmer’s resignation comes as absolutely no surprise. The shocking part is not that he quit, but that it took this long. The British people delivered one of the largest electoral victories in modern history to Labour in 2024, only to discover that changing the party did nothing to change the direction of government. The economy remained stagnant, the cost of living crisis continued, migration remained out of control, taxes rose, public services deteriorated, and confidence collapsed. Even members of his own party eventually concluded that Starmer could no longer survive politically. What we are witnessing is not merely the…
A rocket needs its tail to lift off. Without it, the launch fails. But once altitude is reached, that same tail becomes drag. If it doesn’t detach, it limits how high the rocket can go. Founders are the same. Early on, my obsession and need for control were my biggest assets. I succeeded because I outworked everyone, took the biggest risks, and made the tough calls myself. But as the company grows, these exact traits can drag me down. For me, the real skill now is knowing what to let go of and exactly when to do it. Over the…
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius declared that “not all deployed soldiers will be volunteers” as Germany continues expanding its military presence in Lithuania. For years, the public was told that military service would remain voluntary. Pistorius is openly stating that a military conscription is coming. Some may believe this is solely about soldiers volunteering to be stationed in Lithuania, but in truth he is saying that Germany will do everything to honor its agreements to foreign governments and foreign wars. Germany suspended conscription in 2011 and spent years portraying itself as a modern, peaceful nation. Now politicians are openly discussing…

Canada’s inflation rate accelerated to 3.2% in May, coming in above expectations and once again exposing the fantasy that inflation was somehow defeated. Policymakers spent the past year congratulating themselves for bringing inflation down, yet the cost of living continues to rise while the economy itself is sliding toward recession. This is precisely the type of stagflationary environment that governments hate because there is no easy solution. Raise rates, and you deepen the economic slowdown. Cut rates and you fuel inflation once again. What makes Canada particularly vulnerable is that inflation is rising while economic growth remains weak. Canada has…
