explorer John Cabot, sailing under the English
flag, made landfall on the coast of North America,
likely in present -day Newfoundland. This historic
voyage marked the first European exploration
of the region since the Norse expedition centuries
earlier. Cabot's journey opened the door for
future exploration and eventual settlement, laying
the foundation for the rich tapestry of cultures
and histories that would flourish in North America.

hour minimum wage, which is set to be the highest
in the country. The city council voted last month
to gradually increase wages for hotel staff until
2028. Despite upcoming major sporting events,
hotel owners are concerned about the financial
strain, citing a decrease in foreign visitors
and rising labor costs. Many are canceling renovations
and scaling back services. The local hotel union
argues that higher wages are necessary for workers
to afford living in Los Angeles, where rental
costs are significantly higher than the national
average. In business news, Tesla's initial rollout

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk tech. OpenAI and Johnny Ives'
first artificial intelligence device will not
be a wearable or in -ear product, according to
recent court filings. Leaders from I .O., the
consumer hardware team acquired by OpenAI for
$6 .5 billion, revealed that this device is still
at least a year away from being available for
sale, not shipping until at least 2026. The prototype's
design remains unfinished. Additionally, OpenAI
had to remove references to the IO brand due
to a trademark lawsuit from another startup called
IO, which claims OpenAI infringed on its trademark
rights. Pixar has experienced its worst opening
weekend in history with Elio, the studio's latest
animated feature. Released on June 20th, the
film earns just $21 million in North America
and $14 million overseas. This disappointing
performance marks a troubling low for the studio
behind beloved films like Toy Story and Finding
Nemo. Despite receiving positive reviews, and
an A Cinema score, Helio struggled to attract
audiences in a competitive market. With production
costs estimated at $150 million, the film must
rebound quickly to avoid becoming a costly misfire
for Pixar and its parent company, Disney. Well,
alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the British
novelist and playwright, George Bernard Shaw.

and those who cannot change their minds cannot
change anything. And that's a wrap for this morning.
