After a month of strikes and chaos in the automotive industry, it looks like the United Auto Workers (UAW) and Ford have finally made peace. These Romeo and Juliet antics couldn’t have come at a better time, as both sides tango towards producing more electric vehicles. The cost of this lovers’ quarrel? Oh, just a few hundred million dollars a week, pocket change for these giants. While Ford basks in the settlement glow, GM and Stellantis are left in the shadows, feeling the pressure to make peace as well. Let’s hope these automakers can put their tantrums aside and start cranking out electric cars like yesterday, because a happy worker is a productive worker.

TwitchCon Las Vegas: Streamers’ Hangover or Lucky Strike?
Last year’s TwitchCon was a disaster of Titanic proportions, but this year in Las Vegas, things were considerably less trashy. Turns out, sin city didn’t quite hit the jackpot with the Twitch crowd.

In a whirlwind of “negative press,” Carta’s CEO, Henry Ward, took an unconventional approach to damage control – email and a charming Medium post. But as fate would have it, the spotlight got even brighter, proving that the quirkier your plans, the more attention you attract. It’s the Streisand effect in action. Maybe, just maybe, this PR strategy is actually a stroke of genius disguised as a blunder. Who knew feigning obliviousness about issues could be the next big thing in market disruption?
