From my perspective, I’m sure why would need that much money invested into tear gas. That three billion should go to health care and curing starvation. 
charles mccauley's curator insight, November 21, 2020 2:28 PM
Tear gas is great and very useful, it makes it so we don't have to shoot people and large rioting crowds that we have seen on the news lately. Their stocks for a lot of the larger tear gas companies is going up a lot.
Jalen Thomas's curator insight, November 19, 2021 3:16 PM
This article shares information on how tear gas became worth a billion dollars due to protests and riots in recent times. Tear gas was considered a weapon in war. The reason why tear gas became worth billions is the science behind making them. Tear gas causes disfunctions due to irritation of eyes, skin, mouth, and throat.

This post is in response to something that I heard going on at Intel from @François Piednoël said, a former Principal engineer from Intel in his what seems to be from a trained eye about Intel, (and I do have one),  is that Intel has been on a run recently emphasizing MBA students in their hiring practices when they really should be hiring more Engineers and Finance people with a STEM background, in fact I know a really good GM & VP @Intel who is one these types of people.. And stated another way is the Andy Grove would be turning over in his grave at this and Craig Barrett would be issuing some rather stern direction to the HR people and VP's in the divisions to stop that stuff right away.  -- as to this post there is an innovative scholarship for undergraduate students and young professionals with up to 3 years of professional experience with STEM (Sciences, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) profiles to discover the potential of new technologies in the financial environment.

The World Trade Organization on Tuesday said the European Union could impose tariffs on $4 billion of U.S.

The following is a video from Bloomberg News.

The video discusses how the WTO is allowing the European Union to impose tariff of $4 billion dollars on the United States for giving subsidies to aviation company Boeing.

This may incentivize the EU and the United States to reach an agreement on how to help a struggling airline industry in both areas of the world. The EU may or may not come to negotiating table at the moment depending on the outcome of the United States presidential election in 2020. There is hope that the leaders of the EU and the United States can come to an alignment on subsidies for the airline industry.

Shemar Dunkley's curator insight, December 7, 2021 9:52 PM
This article speaks on how fickle renewable energy can be since it is not yet fully indistinguishable from electric energy solely as yet. However; I feel that even though this is the case. it is still a form of energy that will not be just a futuristic dream sooner than we think. it just requires more resources to be poured into comprehensive studies to help find good ways of utilizing it.
Elena Tarnovetskyy's curator insight, June 28, 2022 12:40 AM

I wanted to include this article because it shows a different perspective about renewable energy. It shows how green energy generation is yet nowhere near where it has to be in order to satisfy  California's energy needs. The experts indicate that we will continue to need to use fossil fuels for another 10 to 15 years, as a cleaner alternative the experts suggested to increase the use of small nuclear reactors that produce clean energy.

This article is about how Apple's market value has top $2 trillion. It is said that 350 million iphones have not been updated in the last 3 and a half years.  It’s the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $2 trillion market cap. Apple was also the first publicly traded U.S. company to reach a $1 trillion market cap.
Jordan Gaines's curator insight, December 6, 2021 11:38 PM
This is a great example of how our economy works. People will use their salaries to purchase good from major companies like Apple. As a result Apple's market value increases making it more desired. The more people believe in a product the more money the company will make. By giving companies like this all this money it allows huge margins when comparing businesses and their overall values.

Its a shame were going on lockdown again and have to see so many business close as a result of it, I have seen dozens of restaurants close and a bunch of people lose their job as a result to a cold that is not even close to being as bad as H1N1 was when Obama was in office. Quite a shame to see what's happening with the lockdowns and mask mandates. 
Jordan Gaines's curator insight, October 29, 2021 9:41 PM

The corona virus caused many businesses to struggle. Many companies had to close because of a decrease in production. While some just didn't want to risk infecting others at the workplace. There was no other option but to lay people off putting restaurant owners in terrible positions. Going from week to week, most don't have extra cash stashed for savings. They were forced to pivot and had to utilize delivery and to-go orders just to stay afloat. Many having to shorten their menus, hours, and work staff, all to keep people safe and meet the demands of the government. All these factors caused restaurant owners to get creative with their customers and production of food. Many utilized apps like door-dash. Or systems like curbside pick up. Restaurants had to completely shift their business ideas just stay afloat.

Jalen Thomas's curator insight, November 19, 2021 3:21 PM
This video is about how restaurants have had to layoff many workers due to the covid outbreak. March, April, and May of 2020, there was an estimate of $225 billion decline in sales. During the times of covid, many small businesses struggles to keep workers because of how little they made in sales which is also due to everyone having to stay home and cook homemade meals.
