This story “Selling Stolen” has been over a year in the making. CNBC got exclusive access and interviews to go inside the world of organized retail crime…individuals that steal in order to sell stolen goods for cash
No one likes higher gas prices. But perspective is powerful. I’m counting my blessings I’m not fleeing my home and my belongings with my toddler, trying to stay alive.

Times Square during “rush hour”...9am on a Thursday. Pretty quiet. Many people seemingly working remotely if possible as more companies ask employees to do so

@Uber
this is getting ridiculous. Again, I have had 2 drivers cancel after I waited 10 mins for each…just now, the driver pulled up, I saw him click on my destination, then he locked the door so I couldn’t open it, and said “it canceled the trip” and drove off

I really feel for retail workers. They are now in-store enforcers of social-distancing, quarantining returns/tried on clothes, wiping down checkouts etc after every shopper. These workers didn't sign up to manage fear, or be in-store police or public health enforcers. Be kind!!
I have been doing pretty well with new recipes during all this time at home. Alas, all trends must end.

No one more deserving. For as accomplished of a journalist as she is, Sue is an even better person. Kind, giving, selfless. She’s an icon in so many ways and a major inspiration to me and so many others. Congratulations Sue!👏🏻🏆🎥
I'm still struggling to get my head around the fact it's Feb 1st of 2022. 2021 was the shortest longest year ever and everything has been one big blur since March 2020.
Look wearing a mask isn’t fun. But I have a little kid at home that can’t get vaccinated. I’m vaccinated and wear a mask every time I leave the house. If you’re inside in a public place and and masks are still required, just please just wear a freaking mask. Stop being selfish.
Wow....now

I believe our country's founding is sacred.
I also believe the founding fathers would rewrite the 2nd amendment if they could foresee how it's used to allow murders to proliferate today.
The world has changed since 1791. Why can't our laws?

A fellow subway rider was a little too aggressive with her hand sanitizer and it went all over my legs, and she didn’t notice somehow. But I guess that’s far from the worst thing that could’ve spilled on me on the way home.
Someone in SC just tried to order some pants on one of my online retail accounts. I caught it and won't be responsible for it, but the retailer didn't seem to want to do anything about blocking that person, who provided a phone number, name and shipping account.
What the what?
It's BNOKERS to me that it's so hard to compare pricing for medical services/prescription drugs before you receive services/order the medication.
I'm paying for it...don't I have a right to price transparency FIRST in non-emergency situations?
Good news. After our cat Wuzzy got into lily pollen (which, we've NOW learned, can be fatal to cats), and spent 72 in the ICU at the vet hospital is home and healthy!
