The Business News Headlines 27 December 2021

Welcome back and we hope you had a meaningful Christmas Weekend. Us? We were here sharing some of the best long-form business interviews of the past several years and doing our Sunday Business Week in Review on News/Talk 1540 KXEL in Iowa. No rest for the wicked...huh?  Here's what we have for you today:

• Strong retail data out moved the markets;
• Thousands of flights cancelled and why;
• McDonald's rationing French Fries?
• Oh, and selling Quarter Pounders with cheese for $1.34?
• Some other fast food news from Taco Bell;
• What's with the engine fires in Kia and Hyundai vehicles?
• Some COVID news from the banking world;
• The Wall Street Report and some data you should know;
• Nope, we're not done with you and your vaccine and
• Apple shuts down all their stores...where?  NYC

Those stories plus we climb into our Way-Back Machine to listen to a remarkable conversation about getting consumers "emotionally engaged" with your product or service. My guest is Gabor George Burt and we'll dig deep into how to make this happen and why it's important for your business. To listen, just click here. 

Thanks for listening!
