Hello and welcome to the temperature edition of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix.

I'm on the Axios. I'm here with Emily Peck of the Huffington Post, who is wearing a cardigan. I am wearing a cardigan, but can we talk about your t-shirt, Felix? Because what is on that? It's a lemur. I'm wearing, I have a lemur on my t-shirt. He does. And the lemur has black coffee? the lemma just doesn't

There might be sugar in it

We don't know

The Lima is drinking a blood He does. And the lemur has black coffee? The lemur has black coffee? There might be sugar in it. We don't know.
