  In business news, in a recent incident, Chris

  Kempchinsky, the CEO of McDonald's, faced backlash
• 5:46
  after eating a burger on video. The burger in
• 5:49
  question was the Big Arch, McDonald's newest
• 5:52
  offering. Kempchinsky, looking polished in a
• 5:55
  beige sweater, described the burger as a product,
• 5:58
  calling the bun unique. However, reactions online
• 6:03
  suggested that people felt he did not genuinely

  eat McDonald's. Critics claimed he projected

  the wrong kind of authenticity, seeming more

  Let's talk tech. Boeing built two real -life
• 7:33
  X -wing starfighters, a nod to the iconic vehicles
• 7:36
  from Star Wars. In 2019, Boeing collaborated
• 7:41
  with Walt Disney to celebrate the opening of
• 7:44
  Star Wars, Galaxy's Edge in Walt Disney World.
• 7:48
  They transformed two CV -2 cargo air vehicles
• 7:51
  into X -wings, flying them above attendees. While
• 7:55
  these drones had a wingspan of 20 .2 feet, They
• 7:58
  could not jump to light speed, and their wings
• 8:01
  were non -functional. Currently, one CV2CAV is
• 8:06
  displayed at the Smithsonian National Air and
• 8:08
  Space Museum in Chantilly, Virginia. Boning's
• 8:12
  CV2CAV program was ultimately affected by fatal
• 8:16
  accidents and the COVID -19 pandemic, leading
• 8:19
  to the closure of its next division. And in entertainment

• 8:46
  a star. In War Machine, he plays a soldier, grappling

  viewers seeking excitement. As Richson asserts,

  It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 9:16
  our quote comes from the American poet and essayist,
• 9:20
  Walt Whitman. And he said, Happiness, not in
• 9:24
  another place, but this place, not for another
• 9:27
  hour, but this hour. And that's a wrap for this
