View in browser Sponsored By ✏️ Today we examine the supply chain and labor issues that are creating a years-long wait for missiles and other complex weapons systems, and we look into why big investors are building entire new neighborhoods. We also consider both sides of the heated debate over whether to sleep with socks. Emma Tucker Editor in Chief, The Wall Street Journal TODAY'S HEADLINES 1 * A suspected Israeli attack that killed a senior Hamas leader marked the biggest hit to the group’s top leadership in years, taking out a key player who was responsible for aligning the Palestinian militant group with Iran and Iran’s proxy Hezbollah. * Harvard University President Claudine Gay resigned Tuesday, but her departure from the leadership role is unlikely to move the school beyond the scandals of the past few months. * The Biden administration is taking its conflict with Texas over immigration enforcement to the Supreme Court after a lower court blocked federal border agents from removing razor wire that Texas officers installed.

READ IT HERE FIRST 3 THE WEST MUST WAIT YEARS FOR BADLY NEEDED MISSILES. Modern weapons are hugely complex, often requiring thousands of parts—most of them manufactured outside of the companies that design and assemble them into defense systems—as well as skilled laborers who are willing to endure lengthy security checks. WSJ’s Alistair MacDonald, Doug Cameron and Dasl Yoon examine how companies are scrambling to build weapons as orders pile up. 4 WALL STREET LANDLORDS ARE DESIGNING NEW NEIGHBORHOODS. As it becomes harder to buy houses from the usual channels, Wall Street’s solution is to build new neighborhoods of family homes where everybody rents.

Read Our 2024 Outlook EXPERT TAKE 5 Q: HOW CAN I LOWER MY DRUG COSTS THIS YEAR? A new year brings a fresh round of out-of-pocket costs for people taking prescription drugs, whether you’re spending down an insurance deductible or covering the full cost of medicine throughout the year. WSJ’s Peter Loftus reported on some of the steps you can take this year to help control your prescription-drug costs. A: The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 contained some of the most sweeping drug-price provisions ever enacted, including a $35 monthly cap on insulin costs for people on Medicare and an expanded list of vaccines that seniors enrolled in Medicare Part D can receive at no cost. Many drugs have a lower-cost, generic equivalent to the brand-name drug that you’ve been prescribed. Ask your doctor, pharmacist or health plan if taking a generic or biosimilar could save you money. It’s also worth asking if there’s a less-expensive drug that is in the same category and could be equally effective. Prices for the same drug can vary widely depending on where you buy it. For generics, check out the growing number of online discount-prescription services. And don’t assume insurance gives you the best deal. Ask your pharmacy whether it would be cheaper to pay cash, outside of your insurance plan. A downside is that spending outside of your insurance plan won’t count toward reaching your deductible, when better insurance coverage kicks in.

HAPPENING TODAY 7 * The Labor Department will report on November job openings at 10 a.m. ET. * Major automakers are expected to report 2023 sales. * Earnings: Cal-Maine Foods * 📰 Today's paper THE NUMBER 8 526,000 The approximate number of fully electric vehicles that Chinese automaker BYD reported selling in the fourth quarter of 2023, topping Tesla’s sales of nearly 485,000 for the same period. Tesla remained ahead of BYD for the full year, but BYD’s ascent in the global pecking order has put new pressure on Tesla at a time when the U.S. electric-car maker is already leaning on steep price cuts to juice its sales. AND FINALLY... 9 BEDTIME ADVICE CALLS FOR SLEEPING IN SOCKS, BUT IT’S DIVISIVE. Health researchers have expounded on the positives of sleeping in socks, but an under-cover inquiry by the Journal finds that socks-in-bed is dividing couples and the public square.
