There’s an unpleasant surprise awaiting the richest of the rich in a 114-page document released by the U.S. Treasury last month.

Now some of them are “freaking out.” —David E. Rovella

Here are today’s top stories  

U.S. financial firms seem to have collectively heard a bell ring in recent weeks, with many of the biggest banks breaking the news to workers that it’s time to suit up and come back like its 2019 all over again. But at least one lender is breaking from the pack. Synchrony Financial, the bank behind credit cards offered by Amazon.com and PayPal, told its workers they can come back, but not five days a week. It’s just the latest example of workplace flexibility that looks to outlast the pandemic.

Antitrust investigators at the U.S. Justice Department have stepped up scrutiny of Google’s digital ad market practices, showing that the Biden administration is actively pursuing a probe that started during the previous administration.

But on Monday, a federal judge threw out antitrust lawsuits filed against Facebook by the Federal Trade Commission and 40 states, in a huge victory for the social media platform.

South Africa’s official death toll has passed 60,000. Mixing doses of vaccines from Pfizer-BioNTech and AstraZeneca-University of Oxford creates a strong immune response, according to results from a University of Oxford study. Here’s the latest on the pandemic.

Danielle Anderson was working in what has become the world’s most notorious laboratory just weeks before the first known cases of Covid-19 emerged in central China.
