| The week began with one Consumer Product Safety Commission member saying the CPSC might issue a ban on the gas stoves used by millions of American homes and businesses. But then the chair of the commission said no such ban is being considered although there could be some tighter regulations on the pollutants that the stoves can send in your home. Various studies show that 12% of current childhood asthma cases in the US can be attributed to gas stove use and 94 cities have already regulated their installation in new buildings. |

Global beer sales are dropping. A report from Berenberg Research, found that Gen Z is drinking 20% less per capita than Millennials, who in turn, drink less than Baby Boomers and Gen Xers did at the same age. And some market experts believe that legalized marijuana sales may be hurting beer sales. Analysts say for a dollar of medical marijuana sold, alcohol revenue, on average, declined between 74 and 84 cents. In a separate study involving Washington state, researchers found that legalizing marijuana resulted in alcohol sales declining by 15%. |
