| What we're stressing: threats against US election workers. With only days to go, officials are deploying fresh tactics under tight new security, including bullet-resistant glass, lockdown magnets and panic buttons. What we're trying: to solve a Rubik's cube behind our back. Jen Easterly, director of the US Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency, can do it. It might be easier than her day job protecting election infrastructure. What we're obsessing over: milk prices. So is the middle class in Karachi, Pakistan, where milk is now more expensive than in Paris. It's one of many cost-of-living hurdles pushing skilled workers to leave. What we're saving up for: more milk. Under Trump's deportation plan, US food prices would likely go up. One group estimates there are 245,000 undocumented immigrants in US agriculture and 1 million in hospitality. What we're asking ChatGPT about: Taiwan. The island is central to crafting the hardware behind artificial intelligence, but there are risks to locating an entire tech ecosystem in China's tiny neighbor. What we're drinking: Indian single-malt whiskey. As India's whiskey consumption rises alongside its growing affluence, distilleries are turning out high-quality single malts that are winning awards. What we're telling our mom we'll try: Solomon's Choice. A play on "solo" and "man," it's the name for mass blind-dating events hosted by the government of Seongnam, South Korea, to boost the country's birth rate. |
