Marketplace All-in-One - In case you forgot, this is a K-shaped economy

First up on the show: Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says the economy is doing well. After all, consumers are chugging along, and the stock market is continuing a strong run. But that feeling of "doing well" isn't even across the board, and those on the lower end of the income spectrum are feeling pinched. We'll discuss, and later we’ll explore how this is playing out in the restaurant scene, too.

Native America Calling - Monday, December 8, 2025 — Tribal museums reflect on tumultuous year, chart their next steps

Cuts in grants and operating funds, federal staff reductions, and department disorganization – and the federal government shutdown – all took a toll on the work done by tribal museums this year. Tribal museums are a source of economic development for many tribes, but more than that they offer an authentic and more comprehensive picture of Native culture and history than their non-Native counterparts. As Tribal Museums Week gets underway, we’ll check in with tribal museums about their work and what they hope to accomplish in the current unpredictable environment for so many cultural institutions.

The data reveals what economists and Chinese officials have said for a while now: Chinese manufacturers can find other buyers.
