The Wegovy shortage is causing thousands to turn to copies. What will the FDA do about it?
Patients who cannot afford Wegovy or have struggled to find it have been turning to often-cheaper compounded versions sold by pharmacies. More than 200,000 prescriptions for copies of Novo Nordisk’s weight-loss drug Wegovy are getting filled by U.S. patients each month, an industry group told the U.S. drugs regulator in a letter, saying it should consider their role in alleviating the obesity drug supply crunch before barring them.

Charlotte airport workers strike as Thanksgiving travel begins. Here’s why
Hundreds of workers are expected to walk off the job. Service workers at Charlotte Douglas International Airport have gone on strike during a busy week of Thanksgiving travel to protest what they say are unlivable wages.Employees of ABM and Prospect Airport Services cast ballots Friday to authorize the work stoppage in North Carolina, which a spokesperson said began Monday morning.Officials with Service Employees International Union announced the impending strike in a statement early Monday, saying the workers would demand “an end to poverty wages and respect on the job during the holiday travel season.”ABM and Prospect Airport Services contract with American Airlines to provide services including cleaning airplane interiors, removing trash, and escorting passengers in wheelchairs.Workers say they previously raised the alarm about their growing inability to afford basic necessities, including food and housing. They described living paycheck to paycheck, unable to cover expenses like car repairs while performing jobs that keep countless planes running on schedule.“We’re on strike today because this is our last resort. We can’t keep living like this,” ABM cabin cleaner Priscilla Hoyle said in a statement. “We’re taking action because our families can’t survive.”Several hundred workers were expected to walk off the job and continue the work stoppage throughout Monday.Most of them earn between $12.50 and $19 an hour, which is well below the living wage for a single person with no children in the Charlotte area, union officials said.Charlotte Douglas International Airport officials have said this holiday travel season is expected to be the busiest on record, with an estimated 1.02 million passengers departing the airport between last Thursday and the Monday after Thanksgiving.In addition to walking off the job, striking workers plan to hold a late-morning rally and a “Strikesgiving” lunch “in place of the Thanksgiving meal that many of the workers won’t be able to afford later this week,” union officials said.“Airport service workers make holiday travel possible by keeping airports safe, clean, and running,” the union said. “Despite their critical role in the profits that major corporations enjoy, many airport service workers must work two to three jobs to make ends meet.”ABM said it would take steps to minimize disruptions from any demonstrations.“At ABM, we appreciate the hard work our team members put in every day to support our clients and help keep spaces clean and people healthy,” the company said in a statement last week.Prospect Airport Services said last week that the company recognizes the seriousness of the potential for a strike during the busy holiday travel season.

How Trump could fast-track oil and gas production on day one
Much of Trump’s proposed plans for drilling and LNG would require time to move through Congress. Donald Trump’s transition team is putting together a wide-ranging energy package to roll out within days of his taking office that would approve export permits for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects and increase oil drilling off the U.S. coast and on federal lands, according to two sources familiar with the plans.

Last year, Warner Bros.’s Barbie and Universal’s Oppenheimer revitalized the box office with their same-day openings, raking in $162 million and $82 million at the domestic box office, respectively. A cultural phenomenon, dubbed “Barbenheimer,” was created.

Canva predicts design will lean even more into analog aesthetics in 2025
AI’s on the rise, and so is its visual counterpoint. While we don’t know what design trends will end up defining 2025, if Canva user data is any indicator, the year could see an increase in design that’s dynamic and fun, and that mixes high-tech capabilities with good old analog design treatments.The design software company’s latest design trend report forecasts the visual elements and aesthetics it predicts will be big in 2025, based in part on some of the platform’s fastest-rising search terms.

How Scale became the go-to company for AI training
The company works with giants like OpenAI and Meta—and has paid out hundreds of millions of dollars to freelance trainers in just the past year. For the large language models (LLMs) that power apps like ChatGPT, Anthopic’s Claude, and Google’s Gemini to be good conversational partners and assistants, they need to be trained by humans with plenty of examples of appropriate answers.

ChatGPT was tasked with designing a website. The result was as manipulative as you’d expect
In a new study, researchers found that ChatGPT creates websites full of deceptive patterns. Generative AI is increasingly being used in all aspects of design, from graphic design to web design. OpenAI’s own research suggests humans believe web and digital interface designers are “100% exposed” to their jobs being automated by ChatGPT. And one industry analysis suggests 83% of creatives and designers have already integrated AI into their working practices.

It’s costing businesses $2 billion per day. This is how leaders can curb incivility in the workplace
Actionable practices leaders can use to thwart the threat of extinction from a workplace culture of incivility. “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” Do you remember this familiar adage that we were taught in elementary school? How did that work out during recess? I don’t know about you, but for me, recess was one of the most treacherous times during the school day. For 45 minutes, we had a reprieve from the structure of the classroom and we could roam out of earshot of our teachers. Some of the most vicious words were spewed in almost a whisper, low enough not to catch the attention of our teacher but loud enough to deliver a verbal knockout punch to the intended recipient and onlookers.

Building a sustainable home could get more expensive under Trump
The United States is making progress on mass timber and other sustainable building practices, but Trump’s proposed tariffs could derail those efforts. Mass timber construction—which uses factory-made, engineered wood boards and beams as structural and exterior components—has exploded in recent years, exemplified by buildings like Ascent, a high-rise in Milwaukee, and the new terminal at the Portland Airport. Industry group Woodworks predicts 20% growth in new projects. And passive house design, the ultra-energy efficient methodology of building with exemplary insulation, has also exploded, with numerous examples of homes, hospitals, high-rises, and even affordable housing built according to the standard. But this progress is at risk with a new Trump administration coming into power next year. Proposed tariffs by the incoming Trump administration may increase the prices of many items at the store. But for architects and advocates working on more efficient and sustainable buildings, there’s fear that tariffs could impact specific materials and machines that are key to their work.

Peek inside Walmart’s giant ‘vending machine’ factory that ships your Black Friday orders
Walmart’s latest shipping facilities hold more than a million square feet of goods that serve 95% of the U.S. population and counting. Walmart’s big plan to win you over this Black Friday involves 80 miles of tracks and 6,800 robots—its latest armaments in a war to rule retail through an otherwise dull word: logistics.Walmart lagged behind Amazon’s quick deliveries and easy digital ordering for years. That was, until it began rethinking its own logistics and investing in subscription deliveries straight from stores. So far, the plan has worked. Walmart’s e-commerce sales are up 20% year over year, while its more premium peer, Target, is struggling.

D.C.’s poorest neighborhood has a massive urban forest, and yet it’s plagued by a lack of maintenance, illegal dumping, and deforestation. On a 95-degree day in one of Washington, D.C.’s poorest neighborhoods, Montia Austin makes her way into a wooded area near a busy intersection. Wearing work gloves and a yellow safety vest, she’s on the side of a six-lane road that feels like a highway as cars and trucks speed past her to catch a green light ahead.

5 behaviors that demonstrate highly effective leadership
Without accountability, even the most talented and well-intentioned leaders fail. These are the behaviors that demonstrate it. Have you ever worked for a leader who made a mistake, a bad decision, or didn’t know the answer to something and, rather than admit it, they deflected it by blaming someone else, justifying it, or acting like it didn’t happen? This lack of accountability happens all too often in the workplace and it undermines trust, engagement, and communication. Leadership accountability is at the heart of any organization’s ability to achieve optimal performance and build a strong culture.

One simple way to make sure you don’t regret your next career move
To design a career that’s authentic to you, you must determine how you interact with energy drivers and drainers. The majority of employees—a full 80%—who quit their jobs during the Great Resignation regret the decision. That’s according to a survey by the HR and payroll services provider Paychex. In fact, more than two-thirds attempted to get hired back. While many left because they didn’t want to spend their lives in a job they didn’t like, regret could be due to not understanding how to find a job that would be fulfilling.

Meet the USC student rocket club that shattered a world altitude record
Five years after becoming the first students to launch a rocket into space, the University of Southern California Rocket Propulsion Lab soared past 470,000 feet for the highest amateur spaceflight. Such feats have made it a top incubator for space industry talent. This could not be happening. Five years after becoming the first students to launch a rocket into space, the University of Southern California Rocket Propulsion Lab (USCRPL) was readying a redesigned model, Aftershock II, for an even higher ascent from Nevada’s Black Rock Desert. But after months of prepping, the weekend before liftoff rolled around with an ominous threat of rain. Even a tenth of an inch could turn the dusty expanse into the same muddy mess that had trapped thousands of revelers at Burning Man there last year. The day before they’d planned to leave, a contact at the Bureau of Land Management sent a photo of the flooded basin.
