Price check: The current national average for a gallon of unleaded gas is $3.80, per AAA. That’s roughly the same as a month ago, down significantly from the record of more than $5, but about 38 cents more than a year ago.
Markets: Last week was a rough one in the stock market, and this week could be even more unpredictable. The midterms on Tuesday, an inflation report Thursday, and another batch of earnings will give investors plenty of new information to absorb.

Berkshire’s $109 billion cash pile has ballooned thanks to rising interest rates.

Just weeks after West Virginia U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin supported President Biden on one of his projects, Manchin has been left fuming after the President called for coal plants in the U.S. to be shuttered.
The Democratic Senator blasted Biden calling his remarks “outrageous and divorced from reality,” adding that it’s time “he learned a lesson.”
Manchin, who at times appears to support Republicans when it comes to the oil and gas industry, said the President’s remarks made in California on Friday “ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs.”
