Feuds Over the Fed & The Personal vs. Professional with Ex-Levi Executive Jennifer Sey

Ongoing tension at the Russia-Ukraine border continues to impact market sentiment. The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations says the conflict has reached a “crucial moment” and that Russia is moving toward “an imminent invasion.” Senate Republicans are blocking votes on President Joe Biden’s five nominees for the Federal Reserve Board, creating an impasse while the central bank is under increasing pressure to combat inflation. Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND.), discusses delaying the vote and why he has particular ethical concerns for nominee Sarah Bloom Raskin. Jennifer Sey, former Levi’s Brand president, discusses how publicizing her personal views created problems for her career, and whether it’s happening to other employees across the country. Plus, there are big changes at the FAA and some tech stocks are beginning to lose their luster.
