Battlefield

That is true in all seven of the swing states that will decide the
winner of the Electoral College — Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,
North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and Arizona — but particularly in
states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada, where
critical Senate and House contests are also being fought. It seems as
if there is a sign on every corner in Clark County, Nev., with the
name of a candidate for something, from the White House to a local
school board, from Congress to City Council.

Pity the superstar fashion designer - The Economist
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=81738&nl=daily]
A giant BIRDCAGE held models wearing Chanel’s latest clothes at its
show for Paris fashion week on October 1st. The exhibit in the Grand
Palais had all the hallmarks of the 114-year-old fashion house:
sophistication, skirt suits and even a little black dress. Yet at the
end there was no designer to take the applause. In June Virginie
Viard, Chanel’s creative director since 2019, stepped down. Ms Viard
was only the third person to hold the role. She took over from Karl
Lagerfeld, a sharp-tongued German who held the role for 36 years and
once called sweatpants “a sign of defeat”. Mr Lagerfeld’s
predecessor was Coco Chanel. The front rows of runway shows are now
rife with gossip about who will bag fashion’s most prestigious job.
An announcement is expected this month.

Why the Oil Market Is Not Shocked - The Atlantic
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=81738&nl=daily]
About a month ago, I was greeted by a welcome sight at the gas station
in Connecticut where I usually fill my tank: the price of regular had
fallen below $3 a gallon. In the weeks that followed, however, the
Middle East was racked by escalating conflict. Israel—which was
already in the middle of a nearly year-long invasion of
Gaza—assassinated the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah with an air
strike in Beirut. Iran responded by launching a missile attack on
Israel, and Hezbollah fired salvos of rockets. Israel then invaded
southern Lebanon, and the Biden administration urged restraint as the
Israeli government reportedly weighed a retaliatory attack on Iran’s
oil fields.

Why Plastic Waste Is a C-Suite Issue - Harvard Business Review
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=81738&nl=daily]
Plastic waste is a C-suite issue because plastic is more pervasive
across our global economy than just about any other manufactured
substance, and the waste from single-use plastic packaging alone
represents $100 billion of economic value. That’s value that is
thrown away each and every year. The corporation or entrepreneur who
finds ways to prevent that waste or recapture that value is looking at
a trillion-dollar opportunity.
