  • This is the Indicator from Planet Money.

  • I'm Waylon Wong.

  • I'm Ricky Mulvey.

  • And I'm Adrian Ma.

  • And like the late, great Dolly Parton once saying,

  • we have tumbled out of the bed and stumbled to the kitchen for Indicators of the Week.

  • It is that day of the week where we talk about our favorite numbers from the news.

  • On today's episode, teachers are truly doing their jobs for the love of the game.

  • Massive, massive settlement news from Meta.

  • And it seems like consumers are telling shoes to kick it.

  • I see what you did there.

  • This message comes from Rinse.

  • A well-designed life doesn't run on default settings.

  • You chose the walkable neighborhood.

  • Your coffee order became oddly specific.

  • You spent three weeks choosing your mattress.

  • But your laundry routine?

  • That one somehow escaped the redesign.

  • Should that really be the one update you skipped?
