Video Transcript
DAVE BRIGGS: But showing your versatility, you also are following a legal case about false advertising in the burger industry. Tell us about that.
ALEXIS KEENAN: Right, so this is about fairness in a totally different landscape. People want their burgers advertised to them the way that they show up in the stores. So this is a proposed class action in the state of New York. It's a federal lawsuit. It comes on the heels of another lawsuit in Miami federal court that also alleged similar problems. This one says that Wendy's and McDonald's are falsely advertising their burgers.
It's brought by a plaintiff, Justin Chimienti, against both companies. And they're alleging false advertising. They say that nearly every menu item on both of these companies' lists have somewhere between a 15% and 25% reduction in the size of the beef compared to those advertisements. You can take a look on your screen there. There's Wendy's Bourbon Burger, and we also have McDonald's regular old cheeseburger. They don't like that one either. But guys--
DAVE BRIGGS: Wow.
ALEXIS KEENAN: --these lawsuits--
DAVE BRIGGS: That's pretty dramatic right there.
SEANA SMITH: That is.
ALEXIS KEENAN: It is dramatic. The lawsuit goes on to cite a food stylist, they call her, who showed how she made these burgers. And she said she undercooked them to make them look more delicious and inviting. So we'll see where these go. They're at the beginning stages, but--
DAVE BRIGGS: Haven't we all always wondered this?
SEANA SMITH: Yeah, I was going to say--
DAVE BRIGGS: I mean, my entire life, at least for 30 years, I've been saying, my burger does not look like it does on the commercial.
ALEXIS KEENAN: And you just accepted it. You can just follow the links in our story, and you'll find out how it's done.
DAVE BRIGGS: Food stylists. Alexis Keenan, good to see you. Thank you.

ReutersGolden arches to go dark in Russia as McDonald's exits after 30 years
(Reuters) -McDonald's Corp on Monday became one of the biggest global brands to exit Russia, laying out plans to sell all its restaurants after operating in the country for more than 30 years following the invasion of Ukraine. The world's largest burger chain, which owns about 84% of its nearly 850 restaurants in Russia, will take a related non-cash charge of up to $1.4 billion following its sale. McDonald's had in March decided to close its restaurants in the country, including the iconic Pushkin Square location in central Moscow - a symbol of flourishing American capitalism in the dying embers of the Soviet Union.

ReutersSelf-driving startup Wayve taps Microsoft for 'supercomputer muscle'
British startup Wayve said on Wednesday it will use supercomputer infrastructure designed for the firm by its investor Microsoft to process vast amounts of data as it develops machine learning-based models for self-driving cars. Wayve's technology relies on machine learning using camera sensors fitted on the outside of the vehicle, where the system learns from traffic patterns and the behaviour of other drivers, instead of the conventional method of relying on detailed digital maps and coding to tell vehicles how to operate. "Microsoft is providing supercomputing muscle," Wayve Chief Executive Alex Kendall told Reuters.

MarketWatchI pay $2,164 a year in retirement account fees – one month’s worth of contributions – should I leave one of the plans for an IRA instead?
Should I move my money to a Roth, and pay off my $200,000 mortgage while I’m at it? It’s great that you’re looking at the fees in your retirement account – they can really eat away at your nest egg if not managed properly. Does it ever make sense to choose an outside account, like an IRA or taxable brokerage account, where you have more control in your portfolio, over an employer-sponsored account, like a 401(k)?
