The Federal Reserve will meet this week to discuss the possibility of increasing interest rates once more to fight inflation. But after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, some are concerned about higher interest rates putting too much pressure on the banking system. And, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has released its latest report. The conclusion? We have to act now. Plus, the hosts weigh in on the grammar debate over the Oxford comma.

Here’s everything we talked about today:

• “Did SVB break the Fed? Officials mull risks of more rate increases” from Reuters

• “Five Ways Banking Turmoil Will Impact the Fed’s Decision” from Bloomberg

• “World can still avoid worst of climate collapse with genuine change, IPCC says” from The Guardian

• “Biden issues first veto, taking on new Republican House” from The Washington Post

• Tweet from @davidlgutman on King County, Washington, voting to adopt the Oxford comma

• TikTok from @spiritwalker about a girl happy to meet a “monster”
