the impact has been unequal across the country, reflecting broader demographic changes. Coffee shops in Florida and New York are struggling the most to recover sales.

Coffee shop sales have topped off at about 75% of their pre-pandemic levels, according to new research from Bank of America. 2.5 years after the pandemic shut down offices nationwide, employees are still spending about a third of their paid work time at home, per the recent Survey of Working Arrangements and Attitudes.

President Biden met face-to-face with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the leader whom US intelligence has deemed responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Despite getting heat from critics for visiting Saudi Arabia, Biden defended his meeting with MBS by saying it’s in the best interests of US foreign policy to reset fraught relations with the Saudis, who are fierce foes of Iran. Biden also said he raised the topic of the Khashoggi murder “at the top of the meeting” with MBS and blamed him for the journalist’s death.
