Duke Dining has put up plexiglass barriers on Marketplace tables, a move designed to provide more indoor seating as the weather gets colder and the time change approaches.
Marketplace's tables have gained a memorable new addition designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but not all students are on board.
In order to make indoor dining safer, Duke Dining has installed plexiglass dividers between seating places. Students are divided on subject of the barriers, with some questioning their presence and whether they stop all the ways the coronavirus can spread.
Not to change the topic here:
Unemployment claims fall to 751,000, lowest since March - Marketplace
The number of Americans seeking unemployment benefits fell last week to 751,000, the lowest since March, but it's still historically high and indicates the viral pandemic is still forcing many employers to cut jobs.
Rising confirmed virus cases in nearly every state, along with a cutoff in federal aid, are threatening to weaken the economy in the coming months. As temperatures fall, restaurants and bars will likely serve fewer customers outdoors. And many consumers may increasingly stay home to avoid infection. Those trends could force employers to slash more jobs during the winter.
Movie theaters offer private rentals to bring in business - Marketplace
Earlier this month, Regal Cinemas closed down all of its theaters, temporarily, it says, because of lockdowns and people skittish about going to the movies. Other chains, however, are trying everything they can to get those people in the door.

“It was actually probably ridiculous how excited I was when I walked into the theater,” she said.
Theater chains like AMC, Cinemark and Alamo Drafthouse Cinema are renting out entire screens to a few dozen guests. The prices vary: Classics go for as little as $100, but watching “Tenet” with your pod can cost up to $350.
Keep this in mind when you read Thursday's GDP report - Marketplace
The third-quarter GDP report to be released by the federal government Thursday is expected to show record-shattering U.S. economic growth for July, August and September. For those who will be reading the report on gross domestic product, there are a few important caveats to keep in mind.
1. The third quarter of 2020 likely had the fastest growth on record, but it followed the worst quarter on record.
That means the economy grew from a smaller base in the third quarter than the level it contracted from in the second quarter. Think of it this way: If a $100 economy contracts 10% in one quarter, it will have shrunk by $10. If it then grows 10% the following quarter, it will have only expanded by $9 and still be $1 in the hole.
Quite a lot has been going on:
Can the internet help you become a better person? - Marketplace
Kai Ryssdal: So tell me about this place on the internet that we can’t really name on a family radio show.
Ryssdal: So, let us be clear, that will be the only bleeping in this interview, and here and after I suppose we will call it AITA just to save ourselves a lot of bleeping. It is not about advice. It’s about judgment. Yes?
Danovich: A little bit of both, interestingly. It did kind of start off a little bit more on the judgment side in 2013, when Marc Beaulac first created this community. He had a very simple question and wanted to know, was he right or was he wrong related to should the air conditioner be set high or low in the office — a very common conundrum that has come up over the last few years. And it’s just kind of ballooned since then.
