| Good morning, it's Nathan helping you launch into Tuesday! |
| Did you watch? Jeff Bezos and his Blue Origin crew soared into space Tuesday morning, briefly experiencing weightlessness before heading back to earth. Cool. |
| On to our ... |
| 💡 INSIGHT OF THE DAY: Bezos and crew rode to the launch site in style. They made their way there in start-up Rivian's R1T electric pickup. Rivian, which has funding from Bezos-founded Amazon, is expected to begin production and sales of the R1T later this year. Spokesperson Tanya Miller tells me that Rivian loaned several pre-production R1T pickups to the Blue Origin crew for use on launch day. |
| 📰 And here are more stories you won't want to miss: |
| 1. Costco has reversed course: The chain will keep senior hours as COVID-19 cases increase nationwide. |
| 2. Will the Delta variant of COVID lead to a further extension of enhanced unemployment benefits? |
| 3. Going back to the office could be harder than the COVID transition to working from home. |
| 4. The Corvette Z06 is getting an overhaul: Could it be the first electric 'Vette? |
| 5. The Volkswagen Passat is not so lucky. It's being discontinued. |
| And with that, the Passat joins the likes of the Chevrolet Cruze, Ford Focus, Honda Fit and Toyota Yaris in the ever-expanding junkyard of recently discontinued passenger cars. |
