  Jim Cramer Tells Mad Money Caller Why Netflix (NFLX) Is Worth a Moderate Buy You've owned a stock for years. You believed in the company, trusted the leadership, and watched your investment grow. Then suddenly, everything changes. The CEO steps down. A major deal falls apart. And your stock drops 35% in a year. That's exactly where one longtime Netflix shareholder found himself when he called into CNBC's  Mad Money  on August 27, 2026.

  Uber's 10% Staff Layoffs Mark Its Biggest Cuts Since COVID TL;DR:  Uber is cutting ~3,300 corporate jobs, about 10% of its workforce, in its largest layoff since 2020. The cuts target managers and coordination roles, not drivers. Remote work is effectively over (under 1% stay remote), and savings get reinvested into the "autonomous future." If you've ever felt your stomach drop at a calendar invite that just says  "quick chat,"  multiply that feeling by 3,300. That's roughly how many Uber employees woke up on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, to learn their roles were being eliminated, part of a 10% workforce reduction that marks the company's biggest layoff since the dark COVID days of 2020. And here's the twist nobody saw coming:  business is good.  Revenue has nearly tripled over five years. So why the axe? Let's unpack it, calmly, and in plain English. The 3,300-Job Cut, Explained by the Numbers Quick facts, no fluff: ~3,300 employees  ...

  'A Lot More Pushback': Berkshire CEO Greg Abel on the Data Center Revolt It's a Tuesday night in a small Virginia town, and the community center is packed shoulder-to-shoulder. A woman stands up, waves an electric bill that's nearly doubled in a few years, and asks why the rest of us are subsidizing a building that employs, what, thirty people? That scene, or some version of it, is playing out all across America right now. And this week, one of the most powerful voices in corporate America finally said the quiet part out loud. "There is a lot more pushback in the communities across the U.S.," Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel told CNBC's Becky Quick . That's not a random commentator. That's the man running Warren Buffett's company, and his utility arm is on the front lines of the AI power boom. So when he says the pushback is real and growing, it's worth paying attention. Here's what's actually going on. Greg Abel Tells CNBC The...
