Credit Scores, Checked Bags, and CosMc's Collapse: What’s Changing in America This Week

Student loan delinquencies are now so widespread that they’ve knocked down the U.S. average credit score for only the second time in a decade. Salesforce is doubling down on enterprise AI with its $8B acquisition of Informatica. Meanwhile, Southwest is ending its “bags fly free” policy after 50+ years and rolling out a major fare overhaul. McDonald’s is closing its Gen Z-focused CosMc’s stores, though some drinks may survive through franchise testing. And Apple’s long-rumored smart home hub could finally arrive by year’s end, with a robotic version coming soon after.
