Fed pandemic lending programs a sticking point in COVID relief talks - Marketplace
Republicans and Democrats are set for more bargaining Friday to see if new COVID relief in the $900 billion range is still possible before year’s end. How long might extra federal money for unemployment go on into the spring?
And something else that’s contentious involves the future role of America’s central bank, the Federal Reserve. A group of Senate Republicans wants the COVID relief bill to specifically prohibit the Fed from restarting its pandemic lending programs or creating anything like them in the future.
What went wrong with Cyberpunk 2077?- Marketplace
Isaac Roman, 32, is a gamer who had to “put the controller down in frustration.” He plays on a PlayStation 5, which is the most advanced platform you can play on, and he still has problems with the game crashing.
“My first experience was, ‘Damn, this is a beautiful game. The production values are insane,'” he said. “However, every half hour, it would boot me out of the game.”

Biden's China options - Marketplace
"One really useful option of confronting China has been taken away, and that is to be able to use the World Trade Organization to be able to bring cases against China," said Chad Bown, a senior fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
"For the previous 10, 12 years, that had been the approach. And virtually every time one of those disputes were brought forward, and there were two dozen or so of these the United States brought against China, the U.S. would win the case. And China, for the most part, would fix the underlying problem."
Marketplace, office building planned for Nubian Square - The Boston Globe
A veteran Boston developer wants to put a mixed-use office building and marketplace on a prime piece in Nubian Square.
The Boston Planning & Development Agency on Thursday awarded a two-acre site known as the Blair Lot to Nubian Ascends, a team led by longtime Boston builder Richard Taylor. It's currently a parking lot between Washington Street and Harrison Avenue across from the Bolling Building.
Taylor is partnering with private equity firm Almiranta Capital and the curators of the neighborhood's Black Market retail incubator on a 329,000-square-foot project that would bring market-rate office space, a marketplace, and cultural hall with artists' work space to the square.
