Straight To It: Cancelled flights, $6 billion to end world hunger, and a hostile holiday takeover


Full story

Jimmie’s picks for Monday, November 1 include:

  • American Airlines canceled hundreds of flights Sunday for a third straight day as it struggled with staffing shortages and upended weekend plans for travelers.
  • Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, has challenged a United Nations official’s claim that just $6 billion could keep 42 million people from dying. Musk was responding to comments by David Beasley, director of the UN’s World Food Programme.
  • Mariah Carey is getting into the holiday spirit early with a new ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ teaser, marking the end of the Halloween weekend. Over time, early decorating and preparation for Christmas has become earlier each year, but debate persists about when Christmas decorations should go up. As November kicked off, Walt Disney World began to put up its Christmas decorations.
