Why Tom Cruise Really Screamed at Mission: Impossible 7 Crew
Ever since the leaked audio of outburst on the sets of went viral, fans have been divided on the veteran actor blatantly yelling at his crew. However, a whopping five years after the clip made its way onto the internet, director Christopher McQuarrie has come out to provide context to the situation, all the while defending his lead actor's actions.
In a recent discussion, the veteran director noted the reason behind the Top Gun actor's explosive reaction in the leaked audio. It was due to some of the Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One crew members constantly breaking social distancing rules on set, despite the severity of the rapidly spreading coronavirus at the time.
While recently speaking with Josh Horowitz on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Christopher McQuarrie provided insight into the arduous process of filming two movies against the backdrop of the COVID-19 outbreak. He shared, '[When you] factor in a pandemic and two industry strikes, what should have been a two and a half year process for both movies stretched onto seven years.
The Jack Reacher director then revealed that Tom Cruise was actually addressing only five people in the leaked audio. He then explained how 'two of the people there were people who had been specifically tasked with the health and safety of our crew and had repeatedly not lived up to that responsibility.'
Additionally, Cruise's outburst came after 30 minutes of trying to get his point across regarding the importance of meeting the required health protocols on a project that had already consumed a significant amount of time and money.
'The person who is raising his voice is quite literally going to work every day and risking his life for a very expressed purpose of keeping the industry alive,' McQuarrie added. He further backed Tom Cruise's way of handling things in the leaked audio. McQuarrie stated, 'That was not a guy pissed off because his latte was cold… He was on the phone every night fighting the good fight to keep things going, to keep things alive. I watched him will that into existence.'

Earnings show ‘uncertainty' is only sure thing for investors
(Bloomberg) — Earnings season is finally over, and for investors one thing is certain: Corporate executives and Wall Street analysts are deeply concerned about the 'uncertainty' sparked by President Donald Trump's combative trade plans. NYC Congestion Toll Brings In $216 Million in First Four Months Now With Colorful Blocks, Tirana's Pyramid Represents a Changing Albania The Economic Benefits of Paying Workers to Move NY Wins Order Against US Funding Freeze in Congestion Fight Why Arid Cities Should Stick Together 'As we look to the rest of the year, there is still uncertainty related to tariff levels, timing and countries involved in addition to the potential actions of others in the industry, as well as the potential reaction of American consumers,' Corie Barry, chief executive officer of Best Buy Co. (BBY), said during the company's earnings call Thursday. She's hardly alone. Deckers Outdoor Corp.'s (DECK) chief financial officer said last week that the company can't give full-year guidance due to 'macroeconomic uncertainty related to global trade policy.' And AT&T Inc. (T) is leaving flexibility in its balance sheet so it can respond to 'a competitive environment or any uncertain things that occur in the macro environment,' CEO John Stankey said. Since the beginning of April, the words 'uncertain,' 'uncertainty' and 'uncertainties' have been used about 3,100 times during companies' earnings calls and other events, according to an analysis of transcripts compiled by Bloomberg. That's the most in any quarter based on records going back more than two decades, topping even the height of the global financial crisis in 2008 and the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The level of uncertainty is rising as the courts challenge Trump's sweeping global tariffs. On Wednesday, a three-judge panel for the US Court of International Trade declared that the Trump administration had wrongly invoked a 1977 law in imposing levies on dozens of countries and that the move was therefore illegal. Then on Thursday, a federal judge in Washington ruled that a number of Trump's tariffs on China and other countries were unlawful. Finally, on Thursday afternoon a federal appeals court temporarily paused the Court of International Trade's ruling on Trump's tariffs so it can weigh a longer lasting stay sought by the government. For its part, the Trump administration has vowed to appeal the decision to the Supreme Court if necessary. All of this lack of clarity on trade and the impact on the economy is weighing on stock-market investors, even as the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) has rebounded from its April lows and is now less than 4% from the all-time peak it hit in February. 'It's really hard to feel confident that we're going to surge higher to record highs with this overhang,' said Mark Hackett, chief market strategist at Nationwide. Meanwhile, a measure of chief executives' confidence has plunged to the lowest level since 2022. More than 80% of executives said they expected a recession within the next year-and-a-half, according to a May survey by the Conference Board in collaboration with the Business Council. On Goldman Sachs Group Inc.s (GS) April 14 earnings call, CEO David Solomon said a lack of clarity had constrained clients' ability to make 'important' decisions. 'This uncertainty around the path forward and fears over the potentially escalating effects of the trade war have created material risks to the US and global economy,' he said. 'We are hopeful that feedback from companies large and small, institutional investors and ultimately consumers will support an approach that will lead to greater economic certainty and long-term growth.' Six weeks later, US trade policy is still in flux. Countries are racing to strike deals before Trump's tariff pauses end, while the president keeps rattling markets with threats on social media. Meanwhile, the US economy shrank in the first quarter, but other economic data has largely held firm. Companies have by and large kept capital spending plans intact despite fears of a pullback, which is encouraging to investors. However, for corporate executives, the risk of the unknown remains the biggest fear. 'In the longer term, the secondary effects of tariffs, like impacts to global GDP growth and energy demand, are much more complex and remain a source of uncertainty,' Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM) CEO Darren Woods said Wednesday. 'We're staying focused on the things we can control.' (Adds CEO confidence survey in ninth paragraph.)

CDC now says kids "may receive" COVID-19 vaccines, replacing broad recommendation
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says that kids with no underlying healthy conditions "may receive" COVID-19 vaccines, dropping a broad recommendation for all children to get vaccinated against the virus. Updates to CDC's childhood immunization schedule were published late Thursday, following an announcement earlier this week by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that the agency would stop recommending COVID-19 vaccines for healthy children and healthy pregnant women. "Where the parent presents with a desire for their child to be vaccinated, children 6 months and older may receive COVID-19 vaccination, informed by the clinical judgment of a healthcare provider and personal preference and circumstances," the CDC says in its new guidance. The agency still broadly recommends COVID-19 vaccines for moderately or severely immunocompromised children, in addition to all adults for now. Thursday's change to what the CDC calls "shared clinical decision-making" recommendations for children means that health insurance companies will continue to be required to broadly cover the shots for now in this age group. It is unclear why the CDC has not updated its immunization schedule to reflect that pregnant women are now excluded from those recommended to get a COVID-19 vaccine. A spokesperson for the agency did not immediately respond to a request for comment. While Kennedy said in his video announcement that healthy pregnant women were also being removed from the CDC's recommended immunization schedule for COVID-19 vaccines, several pages of agency guidance saying that pregnant women are recommended to get vaccinated because of their higher risk of severe disease remain on the CDC's website as of Friday. "Studies including hundreds of thousands of people around the world show that COVID-19 vaccination before and during pregnancy is safe, effective, and beneficial to both the pregnant woman and the baby. The benefits of receiving a COVID-19 vaccine outweigh any potential risks of vaccination during pregnancy," one CDC webpage still reads. Health authorities and experts closely watch changes to the CDC's recommendations, usually updated through open meetings of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, since they are tied to policies like liability protections and insurance coverage requirements. So far, the CDC's changes echo what the committee had already been considering voting on next month: narrowing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations to only older adults and younger ages with risk factors, but still allowing for permissive coverage of others getting vaccinated. The CDC has used "shared clinical decision-making" guidance in the past to allow for federal requirements guaranteeing insurance coverage and access to some vaccines, while stopping short of full-throated recommendations for everyone eligible to get a shot. At its last meeting in April, the committee had not signaled that they were planning to lift the recommendation for pregnant women to get vaccinated. Instead, pregnancy was listed during the meeting as among the underlying conditions that might warrant a continued recommendation for vaccination.

Analysis-Global economy's 'sugar rush' defies trade drama
By Francesco Canepa FRANKFURT (Reuters) -For all the drama surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's trade tariffs, the world economy is holding up better than many had expected. The latest data from the United States, China and, to a lesser extent, Europe are showing resilience and the global economy as a whole is still expected to grow modestly this year. This is in part due to U.S. buyers and foreign sellers bringing forward business while many of the import duties unveiled by U.S. President Donald Trump remain suspended. While that effect may prove short-lived, Trump's decision to pause tariffs and some glimpses of progress in trade talks, particularly between the United States and the European Union, have fuelled cautious optimism. "We are seeing a bit of a sugar rush in industry, with manufacturers bringing forward production and trade," said Holger Schmieding, an economist at investment bank Berenberg. "The other thing is that we have evidence that Trump pedalled back on tariffs. The bet in markets and to some extent in the economy is that he barks but doesn't bite." Investment banks and institutions generally expect the United States to avoid a recession this year and the global economy to keep growing. The International Monetary Fund downgraded its global GDP growth forecast by just 0.5 percentage points last month to 2.8%. This is roughly in line with the trend over the past decade and a far cry from the downturns experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2008 financial crisis or even the turmoil that followed the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001. No one is venturing a prediction on where the trade negotiations will eventually settle, particularly with a U.S. president who sees himself as unstoppable. This week alone, separate U.S. courts first blocked and then reinstated Trump's tariffs - creating a degree of legal uncertainty that will do little to facilitate trade deals between the United States and those threatened with the levies. While the EU celebrated "new impetus" in its trade talks with the United States, negotiations with China were "a bit stalled" according to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Companies are counting the cost of the ongoing impasse. A Reuters analysis of corporate disclosures shows Trump's trade war had cost companies more than $34 billion in lost sales and higher costs, a toll that is expected to rise as ongoing uncertainty over tariffs paralyses decision making at some of the world's largest companies. Car-makers from Japan's Toyota to Germany's Porsche and Mercedes-Benz are bracing for lower, or lower-than-previously expected profits if they have not given up making predictions altogether, like Volvo Cars and Dutch-based Stellantis. This is likely to result in a hit especially for Japan. The United States is Japan's biggest export destination, accounting for 21 trillion yen ($146.16 billion) worth of goods, with automobiles representing roughly 28% of the total. "While the worst shocks may be over, there's still a lot up in the air," Xingchen Yu, a strategist at UBS's Chief Investment Office, said. "We don't really know what a new normal for tariffs would look like, unfortunately." PAYBACK But so far the global economy has held up pretty well. China's output and exports are resilient as its companies re-route trade to the United States via third countries. Even in Europe, manufacturing activity was at a 33-month high in May, rebounding from a slump induced by more expensive fuel following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Confidence was also buttressed by the prospect of greater fiscal spending in Germany, a missing ingredient for European growth for the past couple of decades. The robustness of the world economy has surprised even professional forecasters. A measure produced by U.S. bank Citi that tracks the degree to which global economic data has surprised to the upside is now at its highest in more than a year. Some of that strength circles back to the tariffs themselves and the attempts by U.S. households and businesses to front-load purchases to beat anticipated price increases later this year. U.S. imports were up around 30% in March from where they were in October. The risk to the upbeat outlook comes from the expected "payback" of those advance purchases, which are unlikely to be repeated and will mean slower activity - in the U.S. and elsewhere - later. Economists still fear a triple whammy in which the front-loaded boost to the goods sector is unwound while U.S. household purchasing power is squeezed by higher prices and companies put off investment and hiring. At the margin, however, this scenario is starting to appear a little less likely after Trump's pause on tariffs. "The balance has slightly shifted towards more optimism, albeit with uncertainty and volatility," ING's global head of macro Carsten Brzeski said.
