Summary
Inspired by Uber, Wendy’s is adding digital billboards to all locations by 2025 so it can bring Surge Pricing to fast food — How much does a burger cost? Depends on the time of day.
Kroger and Albertsons were about to merge in the biggest deal in grocery history, but the government just sued to block it — Because this year’s election will be decided in the grocery aisle.
And after 10 years of developing a secret iCar, Apple is quitting — But we think Apple already owns your car (we’ll explain).
Intro: Gen Z is making landlines cool again. Because landline phones are liberating.
