The Business News Headlines 2 August 2021

It's a brand new month and welcome to August! But it sort of feels like the "same old" in a way as the U.S. grapples with rising cases of COVID19. That story starts our list of news today:

• Some bad news some good news on COVID;
• For the second time this year it's ammo issues;
• Heard about the electric...jet?
• A labor problem or a wage problem?
• The battery pack blew up, took days to put out the fire;
• Running out of stock because of...Amazon;
• The Wall Street Report;
• Delta puts a wrench into returning to the office.

Those stories plus you'll meet Dr. Glenn Hurst a physician who made the choice to serve in Rural America. Today we'll talk about rural health care, rural economics and his new book. All of this before he launched a bid to become the next U.S. Senator from the State of Iowa.  To listen, click here.
