$9 billion food court

Wonder promises restaurant food, many restaurants at once, from one counter, and James Atamian went to try the filet mignon. His short review, "$9 billion food court," went up on September 30 and is now near a million views, by far the busiest of Morning Brew's four uploads.

The comment section has opinions about the plate. Many viewers set the promise of food cheaper than cooking at home beside the price on the screen, and the comparison that keeps coming up is ghost kitchens with nicer branding. A few go further back and invoke the old self-serve cafeteria.

The longer work of the week belongs to Macy Gilliam. "Is “Made in USA” clothing actually more ethical?" follows her to Los Angeles to meet a garment worker, a factory owner and an activist, then to the University of Delaware to talk with a fashion economist. The chapters cover forced labor in the US, the Berry Amendment that steers military orders to American factories, and a quilt reveal at the end. A follow-up short, asking why brands don't know where their clothes are made, went up Monday and is already moving quickly. Ethan McCarthy's earlier question, whether closing streets to cars hurts shops, looked at New York and Montreal.

Daily views ran below their usual level, though about 4,000 new subscribers still arrived. Among similar business channels, only Bloomberg Podcasts added more views over the seven days, and Morning Brew finished well clear of The Prof G Pod and Reventure Consulting, both of which were also running quieter than usual.
