A monster traffic jam can form anywhere, at any time of day, without rhyme or reason. The street you were planning to use to get to that urgent interview is suddenly cordoned off for 40 minutes because a senior official needs to hog it....

The team owner is not worried. “I like to worry about things I can control.

Robinhood came under fire at the end of January for restricting users’ ability to purchase certain highly volatile stocks after users of r/WallStreetBets initialed a short squeeze on GameStop stock to significantly push the price up.

Midnight Club: Los Angeles was delisted from the Xbox 360 store in October 2018.
