What does it mean for a digital-media company to have a “pro-success” attitude? And what exactly does its editor-in-chief mean when he says, “Élite journalists are our influencers. And there is a chance to arbitrage the confluence of their influence and their opportunities.” That’s what Clare Malone sorts out in a rollicking story about the startup Puck and Jon Kelly, its editor-in-chief and co-founder. Puck covers the dealings inside Hollywood, Wall Street, Washington, and Silicon Valley with what Malone identifies as an unreserved “fixation on the rich and powerful.”

IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva urged a “recalibration” of China’s tough “zero-COVID” approach aimed at isolating every case “exactly because of the impact it has on both people and on the economy.”

Georgieva made the comments in a wide-ranging interview Tuesday with The Associated Press in which she also cautioned it is too early for the U.S. Federal Reserve to back off on its interest rate increases and held out hope that an energy crisis driven by Russia’s war in Ukraine will speed the push into renewables in Europe. She also called increasing hunger in developing countries “the world’s most significant solvable problem.” 

In 2019, about 16 million US adult handgun owners carried handguns in the past month (up from 9 million in 2015), and approximately 6 million did so daily (twice the 3 million who did so in 2015).
