My latest story for @CNN: The "gig economy" (like driving for Uber or delivering for Doordash) may be distorting employment data – but we don't know for sure because the US government doesn't officially keep track of people who do this type of work. cnn.com/2023/07/24/economy/g…

On @CNBC today, Bob Iger told @davidfaber that shorter wait times at Disney's rides & attractions in Florida are a result of more competition: last year, fewer states were open due to the pandemic, and Florida was "the only game in town," according to Iger.

Overall, it's clear that tourism has taken a hit in certain parts of Florida. Orange County, which includes Orlando, collected 6.7% less from its tourist development tax (collected on short-term rentals and hotels) this May, compared to last year. $DIS $CMCSA

This year, scientists expect a warmer winter in the northern US and a colder/rainier winter in the south due to El Niño. That may impact the entire economy. My latest for @CNNBusiness: cnn.com/2023/06/29/economy/e…

OceanGate’s Titan sub was a “gray area” not subject to the same regulations as many traditional ships and submarines. The company’s CEO, Stockton Rush, had repeatedly claimed that existing regulations needlessly prioritize passenger safety over commercial innovation.

It’s not just deep-sea exploration that may carry danger for thrill-seeking tourists. Congress has a regulations moratorium on commercial spaceflight, meaning traditional FAA regulations don’t apply to commercial space trips from @virgingalactic, @blueorigin, or @SpaceX
