Imagine if everyone had access to an incredible surgeon. Of course, we need to make sure Optimus is safe and everything. But I do think we're headed for a world of sustainable abundance,

FreshBrew - which runs six 500-pound Probat machines at its plant in Houston - said it "will secure ownership of multiple licenses, enabling the company to develop, produce and market coffee for major brands with established market presence." The company said the deal will complement its existing private-label business, expanding operations to produce approximately 150,000 pounds of coffee per day. The company also offers a broad range of packaging, tea, extracts and cold brewing solutions, in part through its recent $10 million manufacturing expansion.

Canada's economy added 60,000 jobs in September, beating expectations with gains largely led by the tariff-vulnerable manufacturing sector, Statistics Canada said on Friday.

US manufacturers who late last year asked the incoming Trump administration for a "regulatory reset" have seen roughly 80% of their specific regulatory requests acted on in just the first eight months of Trump taking office. The fast action across various agencies comes after 100 manufacturing industry groups sent a letter to then President-elect Donald Trump last December complaining of a "regulatory onslaught" under the Biden administration that the group said was "strangling" the economy.

The Hall of Flowers trade show has become one of the cannabis industry's most influential gatherings, where innovation meets collaboration. This year, Booth A428 is generating major buzz as Silly Nice and Veterans Holdings come together to showcase their high-performance cannabis products, unique brand story, and the partnerships driving a new era of excellence in New York's legal market.

Hallucinations have commonly been considered a problem for generative AI, with chatbots such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini prone to producing 'confidently incorrect' answers in response to queries. This can pose a serious problem for users. There are several cases of lawyers, for example, citing non-existent cases as precedent or presenting the wrong conclusions and outcomes from cases that really do exist. Unfortunately for said lawyers, we only know about these instances because they're embarrassingly public, but it's an experience all users will have had at some point.

Hardly any corner of the economy is untouched by jobs cuts and slowdown: Employment in all goods-producing industries slumped in August, with the deepest losses coming from manufacturing and mining.

Let's be real-it's not easy. Scaling a manufacturing company is messy, unpredictable, and often brutal. My job as CEO is not to hide the chaos, it's to cut through it and get to the finish line. We've built systems, habits, and a culture that make the hard things manageable. From the outside that might look like ease. But every single day there is grit.

The company saw 18 worker suicide attempts at one plant in 2010 alone. But worker rights at Foxconn have seen some improvements since 2010, largely due to intense international pressure following the suicides and subsequent labor unrest. However, reports from labor watchdogs indicate that these gains have been inconsistent and, in many cases, have failed to create a genuinely safe and equitable work environment. Many fundamental issues particularly excessive hours, low pay and limits on freedom of association persist.

The ONS said the economy grew by 0.2 per cent on a rolling three-month basis, a measure it will now prioritise to provide a clearer picture of performance given the volatility of monthly data. July's weakness was driven by a 0.9 per cent fall in production, including a 1.3 per cent decline in manufacturing, pushing industrial output to its lowest level since January.

Reality check: At the end of July Lutnick posted to X that "the Trump Economy has officially arrived," citing a strong GDP report. Since then, a combination of weak jobs data and hot inflation reports has painted a very different picture of an economy struggling to grow. Just Thursday, the Consumer Price Index showed inflation rising for a fourth consecutive month, while initial jobless claims were the highest in years.

The dismal August jobs report confirmed the labor market cooled significantly during the spring and summer. That coincided with the start of President Donald Trump's trade war. While some tariff-impacted industries have seen minimal changes in payrolls, others like manufacturing and wholesale trade have taken bigger hits. Since President Donald Trump launched his trade war earlier this year, industries impacted by tariffs have shed tens of thousands of jobs.

The analyst's Private network deployment tracker contained three defining characteristics of a private network: dedicated resources, including network infrastructure, platform and/or spectrum which may not be physically dedicated but can be logically dedicated such as in network slicing; dedicated user groups/SIMs where access to the network is controlled and limited to a group of certain users who may have logically dedicated SIMs, which may be virtual; and customised KPIs where the network is designed and customised to meet use case requirements that can't be met by best-effort public networks.

JCB has warned it could lose "hundreds of millions of pounds" after the US government unexpectedly extended tariffs on steel and aluminium to cover finished goods, dealing a blow to one of Britain's best-known engineering firms. The Trump administration confirmed on Monday that the 25 per cent tariffs already applied to components would now include all machines exported to the US containing steel or aluminium. The move is expected to hit every one of the 30,000 diggers and construction vehicles JCB ships across the Atlantic each year.

The $15 million infusion into the St. Louis Brewery revitalizes the manufacturing ecosystem in Missouri, modernizing supply chain infrastructure for efficiency and job creation.

BDO's Optimism Index rose to 91.96 in July, up from 91.58 in June, driven by a strong rebound in manufacturing optimism, which rose sharply from 93.74 to 96.50.

The Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) assures tax cuts that stimulate investment, job creation, and GDP growth, leading to unprecedented economic booms from fully deductible depreciation for buildings, equipment, and research.

General Motors and BMW likely would have used U.S.-made batteries for their upcoming EVs if the federal credits weren't ending years ahead of schedule. The $7,500 consumer tax credit helped buyers offset the high cost of EVs, which primarily comes from batteries, while automakers worked to bring more production stateside and localize the supply chain.

President Trump announced a 100 percent import tariff on chips but companies manufacturing in the US can qualify for exemptions. Companies not fulfilling production promises will face full tariffs retroactively.
