Caleb and Adriele look at this week’s big stories, including Nikki Haley continuing a seemingly doomed campaign, and news that hundreds of thousands of new jobs are being created — while mass layoffs continue. Also, grocery store inflation is stubbornly not coming down. Plus, who is to blame for Target selling factually incorrect merchandise featuring Civil Rights icons?

Next, Adriele goes deep on a question submitted to *The New York Times* about how to approach interview questions about DEI when you’re a member of a marginalized community.

And Caleb unpacks Walmart offering company stock options to store managers in light of being historically known as a company that takes advantage of low-wage workers.

All that, plus the U.S. is investing hundreds of millions in industrial decarbonization projects, and women made history at the Grammys.
