The Business News Headlines 15 February 2023

Welcome back and we hope that your Valentine's Day was memorable and meaningful. We went out for dinner, music and dancing.  It was really nice.  It's the Business News Headlines for Wednesday the 15th day of February...thanks for being here.  We kick things off with three stories about the US economy that the "Boo-Birds" may not want you to know about.  Seems bad news must sell better? Also, remember that you can hook up with us all day on Twitter @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram.  Here's what we've got for you today:  

• Some surprising news out of Airbnb that speaks to travel;
• Meanwhile the big news was the Retail Sales Report;
• Finally home builders are feeling confident and we'll share why;
• The price of a Big Mac varies wildly in the U.S.;
• Walmart sends a strong message about pricing to its suppliers;
• The Wall Street Report;
• What happens when you cut over 322,000 hours of meetings?

Thanks for listening!
