Political tensions in Congress, extreme weather, labor market struggles, Grammy Awards, and Netflix password sharing updates: Congress faces political tensions, extreme weather hits the northeast and northern plains, service sector struggles with staffing shortages, Grammy Awards approach with Beyonce leading, and Netflix tests password sharing fees
Political tensions in Congress continue to escalate, with the recent removal of Representative Ilhan Omar from her committee assignment seen as a move for political revenge rather than a matter of accountability. Meanwhile, the country is facing extreme weather conditions with record-breaking cold temperatures affecting the northeast and northern plains. In the labor market, the service sector, particularly restaurants, continues to struggle with staffing shortages as workers have moved on to more stable and better-paying jobs. The Grammy Awards are coming up this weekend with Beyonce leading the nominations and Bad Bunny's "Unverano Cinti" being the first all-Spanish language record up for album of the year. Lastly, Netflix is testing its password sharing crackdown, with users soon expected to pay a fee to share their accounts with those outside their household.
