It’s Black Friday! Retailers are ready for a weekend of holiday shoppers–both in store and online. CNBC’s Bertha Coombs reports on the brick-and-mortar shoppers, and former Macy’s President, CEO, and Chairman Terry Lundgren explains the consumer appetite for spending, even in such a pinched economic environment. Overseas, CNBC’s Eunice Yoon has the supply chain side of the retail story; she reports on Beijing’s “zero-Covid” policy and the protests that have broken out at Foxconn’s iPhone plant in Zhengzhou, China. Plus, Warren Buffett’s made some large donations in the holiday spirit, crypto exchange Binance is looking to lift the entire industry after its rival FTX prompted a sector-wide meltdown, and Elon Musk is rethinking the relaunch of Twitter Blue.
