The Snacks daily newsletter I am subscribed to had some interesting topics.
As @TomK reports on the fallout of the German economy here they discuss the looming strike at Volkswagen. In almost 100 years they haven't had to close a plant and now they are facing some hard times.
The other article that caught my eye is China banning exports of rare earth metals to USA. In the short term this will hurt the US but in the long run China is going to kill their economy.
Also if you plan on beating me in the snacks quiz you better read up. Or you can just cheat. Suit yourself
