*Popular luxury SUV brand is resorting to sketchy fixes to repair its cars*

Although it is an expensive and headache-inducing part of car ownership, taking your car to the dealership for repairs is often touted as the best solution by the manufacturer, that is, if you can trust them with your pride and joy. Related: How the UAW auto union landed its record contracts: A timeline of events British automaker Jaguar Land Rover, which produces popular luxury vehicles like the six-figure Range Rover, is the subject of massive scrutiny after an owner accused a dealer of fixing her car with used parts. A Range Rover sports utility vehicle (SUV) moves along the production line. Bloomberg/Getty Images U.K.-based auto publication Autocar has reported that due to a bottleneck at Jaguar Land Rover's parts facility at Mercia Park in England's midlands, more than 10,000 customers are currently awaiting repairs to their cars in the U.K., with 5,000 cars sitting on dealer lots unrepaired. An employee at one dealership told the publication that the manufacturer instructed dealers to get crafty and use whatever parts they can to speed up the backlog. "JLR has told retailers to source non-genuine parts to get cars fixed and out of their workshops for the last six months," he told Autocar. "One JLR senior manager even suggested we use second-hand parts if necessary, although this was ridiculed by retailers." Laura Brannock, an owner of a four-year-old model of JLR's Range Rover Evoque, reported that her car was repaired with a "refurbished engine and turbochargers" after she initially complained about the lengthy repairs. A Range Rover Evoque at the London Motor and Tech Show. John Keeble/Getty Images Brannock, who lives in remote Castle Douglas in Scotland, told Autocar that her car first broke down in April and was taken into the dealers for repairs in June. Service representatives told her that because of the delays, new replacement parts for her car would not be available until early December. Because she relies on the car to take her son to regular hospital appointments, she contacted Reject My Car, a U.K.-based consumer advocacy service who helps consumers get rid of faulty products. After the service got involved, parts to repair the car became available within a few days and were fitted onto the car, only for Reject My Car's engineers to report that the car has used parts, very little oil and was displaying 23 fault codes.

*McDonald's CEO sends dire warning to California*

McDonald's MCD may have beaten earnings estimates late in October, with revenue climbing over 14% year-over-year, but CEO Chris Kempczinski still has his doubts. The fast food giant, which reported Q3 earnings on Monday, revealed that the coveted same-store sales metric, which measures the performance of stores that have been in operation for at least one year, jumped 8.8% — notably higher than the 7.79% analysts had been targeting. Related: Restaurant unveils genius solution for common dining problem Across the U.S., revenue increased by 8.1%, thanks largely to "strong average check growth driven by strategic menu price increases," as Kempczinski put it. "The macroeconomic environment is unfolding in line with our expectations for the year, and we continued to deliver convenience and value for our customers," he continued. But just because the macroeconomic picture may be unfolding the way McDonald's is predicting, it doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be meaningfully good for business in the long-term. And one state in particular seems to be in the McDonald's line of fire. CEO issues economic warning to Californians In mid-October, the state of California enacted a new minimum wage law which will push the hourly rate to at least $16. This brings it up by $0.50 — the previous state standard had been $15.50 per hour, and will remain so until the bill goes into effect on Jan. 1, 2024. While some cities and municipalities with particularly progressive or higher cost of living already have a higher hourly rate in place, the law ensures every locality will pay its employees at the new established rate.

McDonald's third-quarter earnings surpassed Wall Street analysts' expectations, growing 8.8% in global same-store sales and 8.1% in U.S. same-store sales. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images) Brandon Bell/Getty Images But there's a catch. The law ensures all fast food workers — including those at McDonald's and the like — will be paid $20 per hour, effective April 1, 2024. And a newly-established California fast food council may raise the rate again after January 1, 2025, according to the California Labor & Employment Law Blog. McDonald's foresees this as a direct opposition to its bottom line. "Certainly, there’s going to be some element of that that does need to be worked through with higher pricing," Kempczinski said of the law. "There’s also going to be things that I know the franchisees and our teams there are going to be looking at around productivity. How all of that plays out, there will certainly be a hit in the short term to franchisee cash flow in California; tough to know exactly what that hit will be because of some of the mitigation efforts." In order to keep its margins where McDonald's likes them, Kempczinski said it might affect pricing for customers. "I don’t think at this point, we can’t say exactly how much of that is going to work its way through pricing," he said. "Longer term, what we’ve been talking about with our franchisees is this is an opportunity for us to gain share because this is an impact that’s going to hit all of our competitors. … We believe we’re in a better position than our competitors to weather this," he added. As for California Governor Gavin Newsom, the two term Democrat called the new law "a big deal." "We have the opportunity to reward that contribution, reward that sacrifice and stabilize an industry," he said of the fast food industry.

*DoorDash has a controversial warning for users who don't tip in advance*

DoorDash app users will now encounter a pop-up notification that warns them that their food may get cold if they fail to tip the driver delivering their order in advance. If users enter $0 as the tip amount, a prompt pops up on the app saying: “Orders with no tip might take longer to get delivered – are you sure you want to continue? Dashers can pick and choose which orders they want to do. Orders that take longer to be accepted by Dashers tend to result in a slower delivery.” Related: Bud Light faces a new scandal Anheuser-Busch could have seen coming The pop-up gives users the option to continue with or without adding a tip. Users also have the opportunity to add a tip while the driver is still working on their order 30 minutes after it's delivered. Feedback from consumers about the new notification have been divided, with some X (formerly Twitter) users saying that tipping should be mandatory, and others saying that DoorDash should pay their workers more.Not wanting to tip door dash drivers and still wanting fast service is actually insane. You deserve cold food every single time.—

*Fed holds rates steady, hints at more hikes but markets see end of hiking cycle*

The Federal Reserve kept its benchmark lending rate unchanged at a two-decade high for the second straight policy meeting Wednesday, while again hinting that elevated inflation levels, and a resilient economy, may warrant at least one more increase over the coming months. The Fed's Open Markets Committee held its key policy rate at between 5.25% and 5.5%, the highest in 22 years, in a move that was widely expected from markets following the last quarter point rate hike in July and a hold in September. "The Committee will continue to assess additional information and its implications for monetary policy. In determining the extent of additional policy firming that may be appropriate to return inflation to 2% over time, the Committee will take into account the cumulative tightening of monetary policy, the lags with which monetary policy affects economic activity and inflation, and economic and financial developments," the Fed said in a statement issued alongside the interest rate decision. "In addition, the Committee will continue reducing its holdings of Treasury securities and agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities, as described in its previously announced plans," the statement added. U.S. stocks pared earlier gains immediately following the Fed decision, with the S&P 500 marked 21 points higher, or 0.4, on the session while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 76 points. The tech-focused Nasdaq was marked 90 points higher. Benchmark 10-year Treasury note yields were little-changed at 4.802% following the interest rate decision while 2-year notes eased modestly to 5.008%. The U.S. dollar index, meanwhile, was marked 0.22% higher at 105.391 against a basket of six global currency peers. CME Group's FedWatch now suggests a 25.2% chance that the Fed will lift rate by 25 basis points (0.25 percentage point), to between 5.5% to 5.75% at its next policy meeting in December, with the odds of a January hike pegged at 31.3%.Get exclusive access to portfolio managers and their proven investing strategies with Real Money Pro.

*Former player wants back in the NFL after trading card business goes bust*

Blake Martinez played seven years in the NFL, but he ditched a dream career for many people because he found a even more lucrative opportunity away from the game. Martinez created a business selling Pokémon cards on WhatNot, a platform that allows users to buy and sell cards. He reportedly made $11.5 million in sales, prompting him to announce his retirement from the NFL late last year at the age of 28. But Martinez has left WhatNot after the company conducted an investigation on him and found misconduct on his part when it came to selling cards. The former NFL linebacker is now attempting to make a return to professional football.Related: NFL owner accused of creating abusive work environment A report by The Action Network on Nov. 1 said that Martinez had a scheme that would get buyers to purchase Pokémon packs worth $3 for hundreds of dollars. He would entice sales by playing "Guess The Energy" games that would have buyers attempt to guess the energy card in a pack. A correct guess who net the buyer prizes worth thousands. Users theoretically had a one-in-eight shot to guess the energy card. However, the packs were reportedly not vetted properly, giving Martinez the opportunity to mess with the contents before the actual game. Martinez did not comment on the report, only saying publicly that he "never wanted to make this feel like a scam."Related: Tom Brady's push to be an NFL owner has taken an awkward turn The 2016 fourth-round pick made just under $29 million in seven years in the NFL, playing for teams like the Green Bay Packers, New York Giants, and Las Vegas Raiders.
