1. Ryan Nichols there with his family someplace in the Pacific Northwest. Tell us, would you, about your journey through this labor market, whatever it might look like. marketplace.org/clockedout is where you can do that. This final note on the way out today, in which context as always matters. You might have seen the news that G7 countries and their partners are going to release 100 million barrels of oil and diesel over the next 4 months to try to obviously bring prices down. So look, A for effort and all that, but I'm obliged to remind you here that we use globally 100 million barrels of oil every single day. Our theme music was composed by BJ Liederman.

2. Technically, the charge was price fixing, not gouging. McDonald's alleges that the price fixing goes back to at least 2015, and they claim the packers met at conferences and trade shows to hold down supply and coordinate prices. Target, Aldi, BJ's Wholesale, and Sodexo filed related lawsuits. The big packer Tyson has since agreed to pay more than $80 million to settle a suit from grocers. JBS paid more than $50 million. Neither company admitted wrongdoing. Are these guys absolutely shining stars?

3. As always, for more reporting on the economic story that is climate change, check out our podcast, How We Survive. This final note on the way out today. Well, here's one way to protect your job in the AI revolution: lie. I saw this in Fast Company. In a survey from software company Vizier, nearly half of workers said they'd exaggerated their AI usage or expertise to colleagues or leadership to meet expectations. It's known as performative AI use, and no wonder 45% of the workers said they felt pressured to use AI even when they're not confident in how to use it effectively.
