Herbalife Troubles, The Business of Death & Lakers Woes
Is Herbalife a pyramid scheme? Why aren't more women taking science and technology jobs? What's the future of the funeral industry? And can the Lakers recover?
The Federal Trade Commission opened an investigation yesterday into whether Herbalife operates as a pyramid scheme. We talk about the latest issues the company faces, and we hear how one billionaire hedge fund manager pushed for the government investigation. We also hear from a columnist who says women are avoiding certain careers because they take their school grades too seriously. Plus, we hear about the one-two punch of bad news the L.A. Lakers got yesterday. And we launch our two-part series that looks at the past and future of the changing funeral business.
