The Business News Headlines 16 February 2024

Welcome to Friday and the Business News Headlines. A programing note we're back on News/Talk 1540 KXEL this Sunday at Noon Central and yes, we stream. Also, Monday is President's Day.  That means the markets will be closed, there is no mail delivery, banks close up and guess what? We're also taking the day off.  Wall Street reopens on Tuesday...and so do we. Finally, if you want to reach us on social media and if you're on Threads you can find us @Insight_On_Business. And you can hook up with us all day on Twitter or "X" @IOB_NewsHour and on Instagram. Facebook? Sure were there too.  Here's what we've got for you today:

• Wholesale prices increased in January but, there is a but;
• Former President Trump hit with a $355 million fine;
• Unity among Big Tech to fight "AI Trickery";
• Consumers are still high on the U.S. economy;
• Part of the reason is wage growth and slowing inflation;
• The Wall Street Report;
• You are "mad as hell" about fast food prices.

Thanks for listening!
