*By: Madison Alworth* It's summer, which means it's rosé season. The pink drink is popping up everywhere from bars to Instagram feeds. And one company is trying to capitalize on the summertime favorite. Bev launched in May with a brand new canned product catering to millennial women. It started as a passion project for CEO Alix Peabody. "To get the first product I cashed out my 401K and bought a bunch of rosé," said Peabody, who was previously a financial recruiter. Some might say it was more than "a bunch"ーPeabody bought 300 gallons of the pink stuff. Still, Bev has plenty of competition. There's [Ruza Rosé](http://ruzawines.winc.com/), [Babe] (https://www.swishbev.com/products/babe-rose-with-bubbles-4-pack), and [Lila](http://www.lilawines.com/) just to name a few. Peabody has an idea about why there's so much interest. "I think a lot of it has to do with millennial culture and people just being generally excited about accessibility and 'un-snobbery,' if you will," she said.

Starbucks’ Change Flushes Out a Debate Over Public Restroom Access
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
