With GM’s shareholder meeting taking place today, there’s news that the head of Fiat Chrysler has been shopping around for hedge fund partners to put up money to encourage a merger between the two companies. John Stoll, bureau chief for The Wall Street Journal in Detroit, joins us with more. We’ll also take a look at the JOLTS report out today. And we’ll talk about how cutting remittance fees after disasters like the recent earthquake in Nepal could be an effective form of post-disaster aid.
