This Boeing 757 is on a collision course with a business jet as it attempts to land in Topeka, Kansas. Traffic on runway. Traffic on runway.An alert inside the cockpit leads to a go around, an aviation term when a pilot aborts a landing.

The US economy has lost 1.2% million jobs since April 2024, and Americans are feeling the economic downturn. The quits rate, a measure of how often workers voluntarily leave their jobs, is now down to about 2% after fluctuating in the years since the pandemic, and employers are hiring at the slowest pace since 2013, excluding the pandemic dip and rise. I think people just want to stay with what is known and not take any risks right now.We use the term job clinging or job hugging to denote that they're stayi ...

I just visited Chinese coffee giant Luckin here in New York. This latte cost me $1.99%. In China, Lucken is bigger than Starbucks by both revenue and store count, and it's touchdown here in the US.Lucken's full price drinks are actually not that different from Starbucks.

You can only order on its app and it showers you with coupons, especially when you first sign up.Luck's business model is low margin, high volume. That means it ...
