FOLLOW ALONG AS WE COVER:
(02:35) – The leaders of progressive groups focused on mobilizing young voters are warning President Biden that his handling of the war in Gaza could depress turnout in a demographic that’s already notoriously difficult to energize on Election Day.
(08:19) – If you are thinking of skimping on a DoorDash tip, do so at your own risk. DoorDash is testing a new system and warning their customers that you may get bad or slow service if you don’t tip your driver. If you try to place an order through the DoorDash app without leaving a tip, you may get this pop-up: “Orders with no tip might take longer to get delivered — are you sure you want to continue?”

(21:27) – Levi’s and H&M are among top global clothing brands to suffer production halts in Bangladesh, after days of violent protests by workers demanding higher wages. Bangladesh’s 3,500 garment factories account for around 85 percent of the South Asian country’s $55 billion annual exports, supplying many of the world’s top names in fashion. But conditions are dire for many of the sector’s four million workers, the vast majority of whom are women whose monthly wages start at 8,300 taka ($75).
(26:33) – Soulja Boy has had a change of heart after going at J. Cole for “dissing” him. Last week, J. Cole went on Lil Yachty’s podcast and had this to say about Soulja Boy’s emergence in hip hop.
(32:20) – BIG UP – To TWO TEXAS men who “allegedly” stole over $1,000 worth of Ox Tails– for being modern-day Robin Hoods and doing the Lord’s work (as we get closer to Thanksgiving). Two Texas men were arrested for allegedly making off with almost 50 packs of expensive cuts of meat from various grocery stores. The oxtails, shrimp, lamb chops, steaks, and brisket reportedly came from four separate stores– Walmart, H-E-B, Food Town, and Kroger. STORES BE RUNNING OUT OF ISH! THIS IS GOOD OLE’ PREPAREDNESS AND FORESIGHT. FURTHERMORE, STORES HAVE BEEN PRICE GOUGING OXTAILS. I AM CONVINCED THEY WERE GOING TO SELL THEM AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE TO THE HOOD!
