Walmart has been one of the few companies to do well in the pandemic. Digital sales have nearly doubled from a year ago, and same-store sales have increased 9%. But according to Business Insider, even Walmart CEO Doug McMillon knows that with such widespread unemployment, its a streak of luck can't last forever. Business Insider reports McMillon said on CNBC's 'Squawk Box' on Thursday that Congress needs to pass a second stimulus package--and do it quickly. Since passing the $2.2 trillion CARES Act in March, Congress has done nothing meaningful towards passing a second stimulus package. There are Americans...that don't really care about politics, aren't really tied up in this election and they just need some help. Doug McMillon, Walmart CEO Interview, CNBC's 'Squawk Box'
Jack Ma, the billionaire founder of Alibaba and Ant Group hasn't been seen in public in over two months. At a Shanghai conference in late October, Ma called financial regulators an 'old people's club' ill-suited to oversee Chinese tech innovation. In response, Chinese regulators launched an antitrust investigation into Jack Ma's online shopping behemoth. The government also introduced new regulations that halted the IPO of Ma's Ant Group. But Business Insider reports Ma's disappearance isn't unique among prominent Chinese personalities who have tangled with the government. Retired real estate tycoon Ren Zhiqiang and former asset manager Xiao Jianhua, have also disappeared after facing criticism from Chinese regulators. And Meng Hongwei, the former head of the International Criminal Police Organization, disappeared in September 2018 during a trip to China from France.
