Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla and the owner of X, has voiced his support for an event, to be held at Butler, Pennsylvania on Saturday, involving former President Donald Trump.
What Happened: Musk shared a post from Trump in which the ex-president posted an image of him at a rally in Butler shortly after having been shot at. The image had text that read &#8220;I&#8217;m Coming Back To Butler!&#8221;
Trump said his visit to the place where the attempted assassination took place on July 13, 2024, was &#8220;historic.&#8221;

It&#8217;s worth noting that Trump was the target of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40869836/donald-trump-safe-and-unharmed-after-shooting-incident-at-florida-golf-club">failed assassination attempt</a> at his Florida golf club on Sept. 15, 2024, as well.
In response to Trump&#8217;s post on X, Musk wrote, &#8220;I will be there to support!&#8221;

Trump Says He's Going Back To Butler, Site Of First Assassination Attempt — Elon Musk Chimes In, 'I'll Be There To Support'

YouTube, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google has erroneously banned accounts and removed channels worldwide. Now, the platform is working on reinstating them.
What Happened: On Thursday, YouTube said it is aware of the&nbsp;mistakenly&nbsp;removed channels and banned accounts&nbsp;for policy breaches.
The platform is &#8220;actively working on reinstating the&nbsp;channels&#8221; and restoring access to paid services like YouTube TV, YouTube Premium, and YouTube Music subscriptions.

Users across the globe, including in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, were informed of the account ban or channel removal through emails from YouTube.

Why It Matters: This glitch comes on the heels of a series of controversial decisions by YouTube.
Last month, YouTube introduced &#8220;Pause ads,&#8221; a feature that displays advertisements even <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40951748/there-is-no-escaping-youtube-ads-even-after-hitting-the-pause-button-disgruntled-users-cry-foul-an-a">when a video is paused</a>, leading to users&#8217; discontent.
Later that month, YouTube also restricted access to songs by renowned artists such as Adele, Bob Dylan, and Green Day in the U.S. due to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41085603/youtube-blocks-us-access-to-adele-bob-dylan-songs-amid-rights-dispute-googles-video-platform-respond">legal dispute with the performing rights</a> organization, SESAC.
Meanwhile, earlier this week, Apple Inc. removed Juno, an unofficial YouTube app designed for Vision Pro, from its App Store following a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41134764/apple-removes-unofficial-youtube-app-for-vision-pro-from-app-store-developer-disagrees-but-says-zero">warning from Google</a>.

YouTube Bug Bans Users And Removes Channels: Google's Video Streaming Service Says They Know About It

Germany is poised to vote against the European Union&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40810974/us-ally-urges-eu-to-reconsider-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-we-dont-need-another-war">proposed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles this Friday</a>. This decision comes after significant pressure from industry leaders on German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
What Happened: Germany had previously abstained from a non-binding vote in July concerning the European Commission&#8217;s tariff proposal. The Commission&#8217;s plan requires a qualified majority of 15 EU member states, representing 65% of the EU population, to be implemented, Reuters reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. 
France, Greece, Italy, and Poland are reportedly in favor of the tariffs, which could push the measure through.
The Commission argues that the tariffs are necessary to counteract subsidies such as cheap loans and raw materials, aiming for a level playing field rather than excluding Chinese manufacturers. 
However, German carmakers, who derive a significant portion of their sales from China, oppose the tariffs due to fears of retaliatory actions and potential trade conflicts.
The influential German labor union IG Metall and employee representatives from major car manufacturers have issued a joint statement urging Germany to vote against the tariffs, stating, &#8220;tariffs are the wrong approach because they will not improve the competitiveness of the European automotive industry.&#8221;
Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) has been granted provisional approval by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39640029/teslas-giga-berlin-expansion-gets-environmental-authority-approval-after-chancellor-scholz-voiced-ai">German authorities to expand its Gigafactory</a> near Berlin, a key move that underscores Tesla&#8217;s growing presence in Europe&#8217;s EV market. 
The German Automotive Industry Association (VDA) reports that 1.27 million battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles were manufactured in Germany in 2023, making it the second-largest EV producer globally, behind China. 
Although China dominates global EV output, most of its vehicles are sold domestically, whereas 76% of German EVs are exported, highlighting Germany&#8217;s pivotal role in the international EV market.
Germany&#8217;s carmakers are renowned for their engineering excellence, with brands like Volkswagen (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VWAGY#OTC">VWAGY</a>), which owns ŠKODA, SEAT, CUPRA, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, and Porsche; Mercedes-Benz Group (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBGAF#OTC">MBGAF</a>); and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BMWYY#OTC">BMWYY</a>), which owns BMW, MINI, and Rolls-Royce.

Why It Matters: The European Union&#8217;s decision on tariffs for Chinese electric vehicles has been a contentious issue, with potential repercussions for international trade. The EU aims to protect its automobile industry from the influx of cheaper Chinese EVs, which <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41143690/european-tariffs-on-chinas-ev-makers-could-backfire">accounted for 54% of total EV imports</a> to the EU in 2023.
However, this protectionist stance could spark a broader trade war with China, jeopardizing the EU&#8217;s export-dependent companies and its EV targets.
China has already approached the World Trade Organization regarding similar tariffs imposed by Canada, highlighting the potential for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40914629/china-warns-eu-tariffs-on-evs-will-harm-trade-with-germany">escalating trade tensions</a>. China&#8217;s commerce minister has warned that the EU&#8217;s tariffs could significantly disrupt trade, particularly with Germany. 
Additionally, Spain&#8217;s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has called for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40810974/us-ally-urges-eu-to-reconsider-tariffs-on-chinese-evs-we-dont-need-another-war">reevaluation of the EU&#8217;s stance</a>, emphasizing the need for compromise to avoid further trade disputes.

Germany, Home To Mercedes And BMW, Set To Oppose EU Tariffs On Chinese EVs: Report

Renowned economist Peter Schiff scoffed at Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) HODLers for being oblivious to the impending bear market.
What Happened: On Thursday, the staunch Bitcoin critic took to X to highlight the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s decline against gold—an asset Schiff vehemently advocates for.
&#8220;For now, Bitcoin is holding $60,000 support. More significantly, it&#8217;s down 40% priced in gold since hitting its record high just under 3 years ago,&#8221; Schiff remarked.
He urged Bitcoin investors to &#8220;Wake up, and smell the bear market.&#8221; He used the famous &#8220;frog in a boiling water&#8221; theory to ridicule them, asking, &#8220;How much longer will you let the water temperature rise before jumping out of the pot?&#8221;

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Schiff has a knack for comparing Bitcoin in gold&#8217;s terms, rather than the dollar.

Why It Matters: Schiff&#8217;s comments follow a series of similar hot takes on Bitcoin&#8217;s underperformance vis-à-vis gold&#8217;s growth.
Last week, he pointed out that gold had reached another record high, but the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/40994964/peter-schiff-isnt-pleased-with-markets-bitcoin-obsession-while-gold-is-touching-record-hig">significance of this rise has been overlooked</a> due to the overwhelming focus on Bitcoin.
In fact, Schiff <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41059769/peter-schiff-wants-to-know-if-bitcoin-fans-really-care-about-king-crypto-underperforming-g">added an X poll to ascertain if Bitcoin investors were worried</a> about the leading cryptocurrency&#8217;s declining value against gold. Interestingly, more than 75% voted that they were not worried, while just about 22% hinted that they were concerned.

What Happened: Bitcoin wobbled in the $60,000 zone for much of the day before an overnight flourish saw it sail above $61,200.&nbsp;
Ethereum too meandered in the $2,300 region, failing to break above $2,400.
Sentiment has been damp <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/10/41126038/iran-attacks-israel-with-missiles-middle-east-tensions-escalates-s-p-500-stocks-bitcoin-fall-as-oil">since Iran's missile barrage against Israel</a> on Tuesday, with both Bitcoin and Ether correcting significantly, by 4.5% and 9.11%, respectively, since then.
Liquidations continued to bog the market down, with more than $192 million locked in the derivatives market getting erased in the last 24 hours. Upside bets accounted for 74% of the total.
Bitcoin's Open Interest rose 0.85% in the last 24 hours, going against the price drop. This possibly indicated new short positions getting opened.
The coin's Long/Short Ratio also surged to 1.09, indicating a higher number of traders placing bullish bets as compared to those gunning for price declines.
The Cryptocurrency Fear &amp; Greed Index rose from 37 to 41, although the predominant sentiment remained one of "Fear."

The global cryptocurrency stood at $2.12 trillion in the last 24 hours, following a narrow drop of 0.36%.
Stocks slipped during Thursday's trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 184.93 points, or 0.44%, to end at 42,011.59. The S&amp;P 500 slid 0.17% to close at 5,699.9. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite closed 0.04% lower at 17,918.48.
The Dow and S&amp;P 500 were down 7% this week on escalating geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Analyst Notes: Influential cryptocurrency researcher Ali Martinez flagged $60,365 as a key level to watch out for Bitcoin.
"If BTC breaks below this, we could see a dip to $57,420. But if BTC holds, a rebound to $63,300 is on the table," the analyst remarked.

Palantir, Amazon, Meta, Spirit Airlines, Tesla: Why These 5 Stocks Are On Investors' Radars Today

Spirit Airlines Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SAVE#NYSE">SAVE</a>) is reportedly in discussions with bondholders regarding the terms of a potential bankruptcy filing. The budget airline is exploring restructuring options <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37455281/jetblue-spirit-airlines-shares-are-moving-monday-whats-going-on">following a failed merger</a> with JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JBLU#NASDAQ">JBLU</a>).
What Happened: Spirit is considering a Chapter 11 filing as it grapples with significant financial challenges. The airline is also looking into restructuring its balance sheet through an out-of-court transaction, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/spirit-airlines-in-talks-with-bondholders-over-terms-of-potential-bankruptcy-filing-fdd23fae">reported</a> The Wall Street Journal on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter.
However, according to the report, recent discussions have primarily focused on securing an agreement with bondholders and creditors to support a bankruptcy filing. 
Spirit is facing mounting pressure due to its $3.3 billion debt load, which includes over $1.1 billion in secured bonds maturing within a year. The airline must refinance or extend these notes by Oct. 21, as per its credit card processor&#8217;s deadline. 
CEO Ted Christie mentioned in August that the company is in active discussions with bondholders&#8217; advisers to address these maturities.
&#8220;Before we get into the results, I want to note that we are engaged in productive conversations with the advisors of our bondholders to address the upcoming debt maturities. Because those conversations are ongoing, we are not going to go into detail or take any questions on this topic or speculate on potential outcomes. Needless to say, it is a priority, and we are focused on securing the best outcome for the business as quickly as possible, while staying focused on driving performance and implementing our new travel options and elevated guest experience," Christie said in the August earnings call. 
Spirit&#8217;s financial woes have been exacerbated by its inability to turn an annual profit since before the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline&#8217;s operational footprint is shrinking, with plans to reduce capacity by nearly 20% in the fourth quarter. 
Additionally, Spirit has been affected by the recall of Pratt &amp; Whitney engines, grounding part of its fleet and leading to pilot furloughs.

Why It Matters: The potential bankruptcy filing by Spirit Airlines comes in the wake of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37455281/jetblue-spirit-airlines-shares-are-moving-monday-whats-going-on">terminated merger agreement</a> with JetBlue Airways. 
The two companies had initially planned a merger valued at $3.8 billion, which was expected to create a strong low-fare competitor in the airline industry. However, the merger was called off in March due to unmet conditions, impacting Spirit&#8217;s strategic plans. 
Meanwhile, JetBlue has been focusing on its turnaround strategy, bolstered by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40779100/air-travel-demand-and-lower-fuel-costs-to-propel-jetblues-turnaround-analyst-upgrades-stock">rising air travel demand and lower fuel costs</a>. Analysts have upgraded JetBlue&#8217;s stock, projecting a significant liquidity position by 2026.
Spirit Airlines has also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/40043751/whats-going-on-with-spirit-airlines-stock">faced regulatory challenges</a>, such as a temporary block on a rule requiring airlines to disclose fees upfront. This legal development briefly boosted Spirit&#8217;s stock in July.
Price Action: Spirit Airlines Inc. stock closed at $2.24 on Thursday, down 3.45% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock plummeted by 30.38% to $1.56. Year to date, Spirit Airlines has fallen significantly, down 86.30%.
Meanwhile, JetBlue Airways Corporation ended the day at $6.39, down 2.74%. In after-hours trading, the stock rose by 4.85%. Year to date, JetBlue has gained 21.25%, according to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.

Spirit Airlines Engages In Bankruptcy Talks Amid Financial Struggles: Report

After securing a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/10/41175197/openais-latest-eye-popping-valuation-ignites-analyst-expectations-for-tidal-wave-of">whopping $6.6 billion funding</a> round, ChatGPT-parent&nbsp;OpenAI has bagged a&nbsp;$4 billion revolving credit line.
What Happened: The new credit facility will bolster its liquidity to $10 billion, allowing the AI startup to invest in high-cost <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39856365/openai-in-talks-with-broadcom-to-develop-new-ai-chip-aims-to-reduce-reliance-on-nvidia-report">computing capacity</a> including Nvidia Corporation&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) chips.
&#8220;This credit facility further strengthens&nbsp;our balance sheet and provides&nbsp;flexibility to seize future growth&nbsp;opportunities,&#8221; said OpenAI CFO&nbsp;Sarah Friar, in a blog on Thursday.
The credit line is facilitated by a consortium of banks: JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/C#NYSE">C</a>), Goldman Sachs (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>), Morgan Stanley (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MS#NYSE">MS</a>), Banco Santander S.A.

Why It Matters: Earlier this week, OpenAI, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41149788/openai-valuation-soars-to-157b-in-latest-funding-round">valued at nearly $157 billion</a>, raised funds&nbsp;from returning venture capital investors&nbsp;such as&nbsp;Thrive Capital and Khosla Ventures.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), which has already invested approximately $13 billion into the AI firm over the last five years,&nbsp;and new investor Nvidia, also&nbsp;participated in the funding round.
Despite <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41059344/sam-altman-hits-back-at-trolls-after-mira-muratis-openai-exit-explains-executive-drain-as-natural-we">major executive changes</a>, including the sudden exit of CTO Mira Murati, investors remain optimistic about OpenAI&#8217;s growth prospects.
However, OpenAI has also faced criticism from Elon Musk, who accused the company of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41156902/elon-musk-says-openai-is-evil-after-chatgpt-parent-reportedly-asked-investors-not-to-invest-in-rival">unfair funding practices</a>.
On the other hand, analysts expect a &#8220;tidal wave&#8221; of AI spending, with OpenAI&#8217;s latest valuation seen as a trigger for this growth stage.

OpenAI Secures $4B Credit Line To Supercharge AI Ambitions And Expand Nvidia-Powered Infrastructure: 'Provides Flexibility To Seize Future Growth Opportunities'

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), on Thursday, praised the 50,000 port workers who successfully <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177060/port-strike-ends-workers-return-to-work-friday">secured a significant wage increase</a> following their strike against the shipping industry&#8217;s &#8220;outrageous corporate greed.&#8221;
What Happened: The Vermont senator attached a statement in solidarity with port workers in his post on X. He said, &#8220;Billionaires in the shipping industry must not be allowed to get even richer by replacing port workers with robots.&#8221;
In his statement, he praised the workers for putting their &#8220;lives on the line&#8221; during the COVID-19 pandemic and keeping the economy going. He noted that the shipping industry saw its profits skyrocket by as much as 800 percent and has made a record-breaking $400 billion in profits since 2020.
He noted that over the past 20 years, average wages for port workers along the East Coast have declined by nearly 12% after adjusting for inflation. He said the strike was not only about wages but it was also about making sure that the CEOs and billionaire class are not able to use the &#8220;incredible advancements&#8221; in new technology, automation and AI as a tool to impoverish the working class.
&#8220;Workers must benefit from the revolution in new technology, not just the one percent.&#8221;
Sanders also praised Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su who the senator said did a &#8220;great job negotiating a tentative agreement to increase the wages of port workers by 62% over six years.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">Let me also congratulate our <a href="https://twitter.com/ActSecJulieSu?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ActSecJulieSu</a>, who did a great job negotiating a tentative agreement to increase the wages of port workers by 62% over six years.

Why It Matters: The port workers&#8217; strike on the East and Gulf coasts came to an end after a tentative agreement was reached between the dockworkers and port operators, according to a prior Benzinga report.
This resolution averted a potential disruption to supply chains. The agreement, which includes a substantial wage increase and improved working conditions, addressed the key demands of the International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association. 
The Wall Street Journal reported a 62% increase in wages over six years. The contract extension through January 15, 2025, allows for further negotiations on other issues, including dock automation.
The strike&#8217;s resolution was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177525/biden-praises-end-of-port-strike-highlights-importance-for-hurricane-helene-recovery-collective-barg">met with approval</a> from President Joe Biden, who has been a vocal supporter of the striking workers. 
The International Longshoremen&#8217;s Association revealed that the U.S. Maritime Alliance, a group of companies operating East and Gulf Coast ports, agreed to a pay rise for port workers. As a result, union members are set to return to work immediately. This agreement is significant for the shipping industry, as it demonstrates the power of collective bargaining in securing better working conditions and wages for workers.
During the strike, analysts at Morgan Stanley warned that a prolonged strike could <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41159016/port-strike-enters-day-3-economist-warns-of-meaningful-impact-if-standoff-prolongs-food-beverages-li">hurt economic growth and boost inflation</a>. However, the swift resolution of the strike has likely averted these potential economic impacts.

Bernie Sanders Congratulates Port Workers After Strike Ends: Billionaires In Shipping Industry 'Must Not Be Allowed To Get Even Richer By Replacing Workers With Robots'

Billionaire investor and television celebrity Mark Cuban has thrown his support behind Republican Senate hopeful John Deaton, who is running against anti-cryptocurrency crusader Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
What happened: Cuban, a long-standing critic of Warren's stance toward the industry, minced no words in saying that he wasn't a fan of the senior senator, while featuring on the All-In Podcast.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio">

</div>
</figure>
Though acknowledging Warren's concerns about the potential wrongful use of cryptocurrencies, Cuban said that she just wants to &#8220;throw the baby out with the bath water."
In contrast, Cuban said that Deaton has been known to be a cryptocurrency advocate, and he was impressed by the attorney's "background" and "character."
"So even before he got through his hat in his ring, I was talking to him, supporting him, giving him feedback, and helping him," Cuban revealed.&nbsp;
Cuban, who has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41032465/mark-cuban-is-one-of-kamala-harris-most-effective-surrogates-says-former-sc-house-rep-baka">backed </a>Kamala Harris in the ongoing election season,&nbsp;said that he is not a Democrat and has no political bias. "I think John Deaton will be better for the country and better for the citizens of Massachusetts than Elizabeth," he added.

Why It Matters: Cuban's admiration for Deaton is not new. After he won the Republican nomination for Senate in Massachusetts's primary election, Cuban congratulated him, saying, "Only 1 W to go!"
The friendliness has been reciprocal, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/09/41039204/mark-cuban-and-anthony-scaramuccis-stance-against-gary-gensler-earns-appreciation-from-eli">Deaton last week praising Cuban&#8217;s efforts</a> to oppose SEC Chair Gary Gensler and Warren&#8217;s unfriendly unfriendly cryptocurrency policies.

Mark Cuban, An Ardent Kamala Harris Supporter, Isn't Keen On Elizabeth Warren As He Is On Her Pro-Crypto GOP Rival: Here's Why

Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s legendary late vice chairman, Charlie Munger, has repeatedly lauded the entrepreneurial prowess of late Rose &#8220;Mrs. B&#8221; Blumkin, the founder of Nebraska Furniture Mart.
What Happened: Blumkin established Nebraska Furniture Mart in 1937, which later evolved into one of North America&#8217;s largest home furnishing stores. Berkshire Hathaway purchased <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/education/18/08/12284542/this-day-in-market-history-warren-buffett-buys-nebraska-furniture-m">Nebraska Furniture Mart in 1983</a>.
Both Munger and Warren Buffett have frequently spoken about Blumkin&#8217;s influence on the company&#8217;s culture and philosophy.
In a 2017 interview, Munger fondly remembered her and said that despite her inability to read or write in English, she could perform complex mental arithmetic.

Munger also shared a light-hearted story about Blumkin&#8217;s work ethic, revealing that she would call her sons &#8220;bums&#8221; if they worked less than 100 hours a week, even after they had become wealthy.
&#8220;She was a very bossy, domineering, hard-working woman, and she worked herself 100 hours a week,&#8221; he recalled fondly.

</div>
</figure>
Why It Matters: Blumkin moved to the U.S. in her early twenties from Russia and started Nebraska Furniture Mart with a $500 loan from her brother. Mrs. B also invested her savings.
The acquisition of Nebraska Furniture Mart by Berkshire Hathaway in 1983 was a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/02/37162489/warren-buffett-purchased-a-business-for-60-million-that-was-started-with-just-a-500-investment-the-f">significant milestone</a> in the company&#8217;s history.
Buffett considered the deal one of the best of his career, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/why-warren-buffett-considers-the-deal-he-made-with-an-89-year-old-woman-one-of-the-best-of-his-career/articleshow/47124170.cms">reported</a> Business Insider. &#8220;spiring business managers should look hard at the plain, but rare, attributes that produced Mrs. B&#8217;s incredible success,&#8221; he wrote in a 2013 letter to Berkshire&#8217;s shareholders.
Adding, &#8220;If they absorb Mrs. B&#8217;s lessons, they need none from me.&#8221;
Mrs. B passed away at the age of 104, but her legacy remains deeply ingrained in her family&#8217;s business.

Charlie Munger Once Spoke About Mrs. B — The Matriarch Who Even Buffett Admitted Outshone Him In Wisdom: She Built A Successful Business That Made Her Filthy Rich With A $500 Loan And Hard Work

Former Wyoming Republican Representative Liz Cheney publicly endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris at a campaign rally in Ripon, Wisconsin, on Thursday, as reported by <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4915135-liz-cheney-kamala-harris-campaign/">The Hill</a>.
What Happened: Cheney, who was ousted from her party due to her criticism of former President Donald Trump, introduced Harris at the rally and urged Americans to be willing to cross party lines. Cheney&#8217;s endorsement of Harris is part of a broader effort by the Harris campaign to reach across the aisle to voters disillusioned by Trump.
&#8220;I ask you to stand in truth, to reject the depraved cruelty of Donald Trump and I ask you instead to help us elect Kamala Harris for president,&#8221; said Cheney.
&#8220;I know that she can be a president that can inspire our children… and especially our little girls to do great things.&#8221;
Cheney&#8217;s public endorsement of Harris is the most high-profile GOP support the vice president has received so far, aiding in the campaign&#8217;s outreach to Bush-era Republicans and supporters of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

Why It Matters: Cheney&#8217;s endorsement comes after she <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38356833/liz-cheney-says-trump-doing-everything-possible-to-postpone-jan-6-case-beyond-election-deep-flaws-in">voiced her criticism</a> of Trump&#8217;s efforts to delay the Jan. 6 case beyond the election, as reported in April. Cheney served as the chairwoman of the House select committee that probed the Jan. 6 insurrection.
In September 2024, Cheney publicly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40722256/liz-cheney-says-i-will-be-voting-for-kamala-harris-in-2024-presidential-election-cites-trumps-danger">declared her support</a> for Harris in the upcoming election, citing Trump&#8217;s danger to the republic. This was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40758275/former-vice-president-dick-cheney-backs-kamala-harris-says-trump-is-a-greater-threat-to-our-republic">followed</a> by former Vice President Dick Cheney&#8217;s endorsement of Harris.
With the 2024 presidential election heating up, Harris is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41176806/harris-vs-trump-vice-president-leads-2024-election-poll-young-voters-help-but-voter-issues-could">leading in the polls</a>. Cheney&#8217;s endorsement could potentially sway more GOP voters towards Harris, further intensifying the race.

Liz Cheney Introduces Harris At Wisconsin Rally, Asks Voters To Stand In Truth: 'Reject The Depraved Cruelty Of Donald Trump'

Former United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson has alleged the discovery of a &#8220;listening device&#8221; in his personal bathroom, subsequent to a visit from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in 2017.
What Happened: Johnson, who was serving as a foreign secretary at the time, disclosed in an interview with <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/international/4915059-former-uk-pm-alleges-listening-device/">The Telegraph</a> that the device was unearthed during a routine security sweep. &#8220;Later, when they (security) were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox,&#8221; he revealed.
Further details were withheld by Johnson, who directed readers to his forthcoming book &#8220;Unleashed&#8221; for more information. &#8220;Everything you need to know about that episode is in the book,&#8221; he commented.
As reported by The Telegraph, it is still uncertain whether Israel was confronted or reprimanded about the incident. Around the same time, Israel was suspected of planting surveillance devices near the White House and other sensitive locations in the US capital. &#8220;Washington concluded that Israel was likely behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices,&#8221; The Telegraph reported.
The Hill has reached out to the Israeli Embassy in London for a comment on the allegations.

Why It Matters: This allegation comes amidst a backdrop of escalating tensions in the Middle East. In September, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/41107804/israeli-military-begins-limited-operation-against-hezbollah-in-southern-lebanon-military-says-target">Israeli military initiated a localized operation against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon</a>.

Netanyahu May Have Bugged My Toilet, Says Former UK PM Boris Johnson: 'They Found A Listening Device In The Thunderbox'

President Joe Biden has commended the agreement reached between the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the U.S. Maritime Alliance (USMX), effectively <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177060/port-strike-ends-workers-return-to-work-friday">ending a port strike</a> that threatened to disrupt the U.S. economy.
What Happened: The agreement, which was announced on Thursday, was met with approval by President Biden, who has been a staunch supporter of the striking workers. &#8220;Today's tentative agreement on a record wage and an extension of the collective bargaining process represents critical progress towards a strong contract,&#8221; Biden said in a statement, as reported by <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/4915156-port-strike-end-agreement/">The Hill</a>.
The ILA revealed that the USMX, a group of companies operating East and Gulf Coast ports, agreed to a pay rise for port workers. As a result, union members are set to return to work immediately.
Biden praised all parties involved in the negotiation process, particularly acknowledging the sacrifices made by the ILA dockworkers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The president said on X that he applauded ILA and USMX coming together to ensure the &#8220;availability of critical supplies for Hurricane Helene recovery and rebuilding.&#8221;

Harris: Poll Finds Vice President Has Energized This Largest Voting Bloc As Her Economic Proposals Strike A Chord</a>
Why It Matters: The two-day strike had the potential to significantly impact the U.S. economy and posed political challenges for the Biden administration. The end of the strike comes as a relief, as it threatened to disrupt supply chains. 
The agreement includes a substantial wage increase and improved working conditions, addressing the ILA's key demands. According to a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41177060/port-strike-ends-workers-return-to-work-friday">Benzinga report</a>, the breakthrough came after port employers offered a 62% increase in wages over six years. 
The agreement also includes a contract extension through Jan. 15, 2025, providing time for the two sides to negotiate other issues, including automation on the docks.

Biden Praises End Of Port Strike, Highlights Importance For Hurricane Helene Recovery: 'Collective Bargaining Works'

Cannatrol, a company specializing in post-harvest cannabis processing, partnered with the Cannabis Research Coalition (CRC) to to explore the impact of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40941818/how-this-cheese-aging-tech-is-boosting-profits-for-cannabis-growers-stop-throwing-cheddar-out-the-do">vapor pressure stability</a> on cannabis quality.
Research findings reveal how advanced post-harvest drying methods impact cannabis flower quality, focusing on terpene retention and trichome coloration. These independent studies compare various drying techniques and equipment, aiming to expand knowledge on how environmental factors influence cannabis quality.
Cannatrol's proprietary&nbsp;Vaportrol Technology&nbsp;was tested in two independent studies. Findings demonstrated significant improvements in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/06/32655486/a-look-at-cannabis-terpenes-myrcene">terpene</a> retention and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/04/31806591/what-are-cannabis-trichomes-and-whats-their-importance">trichome</a> integrity when using their post-harvest optimization process.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Proven Benefits For Terpene And Trichomes</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40941818/how-this-cheese-aging-tech-is-boosting-profits-for-cannabis-growers-stop-throwing-cheddar-out-the-do">Cannatrol's</a> technology was found to deliver, on average, 16% higher terpene retention compared to traditional drying methods. The CRC's analysis shows that maintaining a stable vapor pressure environment during post-harvest is crucial to protecting trichomes &#8211; the resin glands that house cannabinoids and terpenes.
This stability ensures the preservation of the flower's flavor, potency and overall quality.
According to the research, fluctuating vapor pressure levels can damage trichomes, reducing both the terpene content and the overall effect of the cannabis. By maintaining consistency throughout the drying, curing, and storage phases, Cannatrol's technology prevents these issues, resulting in a better final product for cultivators and consumers alike.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Advancing Post-Harvest Science</h3>
David Sandelman, Cannatrol's CTO and co-founder, emphasized the importance of educating the cannabis community on scientific post-harvest processes. He highlighted how proper management of vapor pressure results in more flavorful and potent cannabis with a better smokable effect. Cannatrol's all-in-one solution ensures this consistent quality across varying climates and geographic locations, making it a reliable tool for commercial cannabis cultivators.

Dr. Allison Justice, CEO of the CRC, praised the company for contributing to the industry's knowledge of post-harvest processes and its potential to deliver superior cannabis.

A report filed with the New York State Legislature on Oct. 1 by the Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) and the Cannabis Control Board (CCB) reveals significant growth in the state's legal cannabis market, which has now generated nearly $654 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/new-york-cannabis">million in sales. </a>
However, despite the increasing revenue, over 200 retail license holders, particularly those granted permits through social equity programs, remain in limbo, Green Market Report <a href="https://www.greenmarketreport.com/new-york-cannabis-report-reveals-latest-license-numbers-sales-stats/">wrote.</a>

The 2024 report offers a comprehensive overview of the state's cannabis industry, addressing critical challenges such as enforcement against unlicensed operators, gaps in regulation and the financial obstacles that social equity businesses continue to face.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Social Equity Licenses In Limbo</h3>
Among the 1,704 permits approved to date, 205 are Conditional Adult Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) licenses issued to applicants with past cannabis convictions, commonly referred to as &#8220;justice-involved&#8221; individuals. Despite these approvals, only 150 of the license holders have opened operational dispensaries, with many struggling to secure compliant retail spaces and funding.
"OCM has reviewed and scored every CAURD application received," the report said. The Cannabis Social Equity Investment Fund, originally intended to inject $200 million into the industry to help these applicants, has only been utilized by 20 of the 463 CAURD licensees, leaving many without the necessary financial support to proceed.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Medical Marijuana Operators Slow To Enter Adult-Use Market</h3>
The report also highlighted the slow progress made by the 10 companies licensed to grow and sell medical cannabis. To date, only four companies &#8211; Curaleaf Holdings Inc (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CURLF#OTC">CURLF</a>), Etain, Fiorello Pharmaceuticals and PharmaCann &#8211; have opened weed shops, with most operators hesitant to move into the adult-use marijuana sector.
While there is optimism that new licenses will be granted soon, with applications being reviewed, the pace of industry growth remains uneven.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Record Sales But Ongoing Challenges</h3>
New York&#8217;s legal cannabis market reached a record $97.4 million in sales in August, bolstered by continued enforcement efforts to curb unlicensed sales. The state's regulators are actively cracking down on illegal cannabis operations, particularly in New York City, which has led to a steady increase in legal sales.
Despite these successes, the report acknowledges that significant work remains to be done to create a sustainable and equitable industry. The OCM outlined policy recommendations aimed at reducing regulatory costs for licensees, providing more financial support to social equity businesses and revising packaging rules to promote sustainability.

NY Cannabis Market Soars To $654M But Equity Licensees Are Left Behind, Report Finds

Those suffering from chronic pain are more in favor of policies that expand cannabis access compared to the physicians who provide their care, according to a study recently <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2824105">published</a> in JAMA Network Open.
The research from Rutgers Health and other institutions, covered states where medical cannabis is legal and it included over 1,600 people with chronic pain and 1,000 physicians.
Individuals with chronic pain support the legalization of medical marijuana on the federal level the most (70.8%), followed by federal legalization of cannabis for adult use – a policy change favored by 54.9% of those asked.
The majority of chronic pain patients (64%) said they would like insurance cover cannabis treatment for their condition, while half of those asked (50.1%) said they would support policy change requiring states with medical cannabis programs to provide subsidies for people with low income.

Out of the four policies seeking to amend the cannabis landscape nationwide and statewide, physicians supported federal legalization of medical cannabis the most (59%).

</ul>
Interestingly, physicians were more in favor of requiring patient registration with the state medical cannabis program to access medical cannabis than those suffering from chronic pain (68.1% vs. 49.2%, respectively).
Elizabeth Stone, a core faculty member at the Rutgers Institute for Health, Health Care Policy and Aging Research and lead author of the study, said cannabis is unique in terms of the complicated policy landscape,&#8221; <a href="https://www.newswise.com/articles/chronic-pain-patients-are-more-supportive-of-cannabis-access-than-doctors">reported</a> Newswise.
&#8220;Depending on what state you&#8217;re in, it could be that medical cannabis is legal, it could be that medical and recreational use are legal, it could be that neither is legal, but some things are decriminalized,&#8221; said Stone, who also serves as an instructor in the Department of Psychiatry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. &#8220;Overall, people with chronic pain were more supportive of the policies that would expand access to medical cannabis, and providers were more supportive of the policies that would restrict access to medical cannabis.&#8221;
Stone's study is part of a National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded project that investigates the impacts of state medical cannabis policies on opioid-related outcomes for those suffering from chronic pain.
