INSIGHT OF THE DAY. We seem to really love remote work, as evidenced by our painfully slow return to the office. However, the revival of office life is critical for the survival of downtown restaurants and businesses eager to welcome an influx of diners and shoppers. Experts believe the numbers of employees heading back to the office should increase as more Americans become vaccinated against COVID-19.

Here are the rest of our top stories:

1. Buy American. You hear politicians say it all the time. But it's not as easy as you think.

2. Remember Yahoo and AOL? You can hear the buzz of the 56K modem in your head. Verizon just sold them as part of a $5 billion deal.

3. Run out of milk? If you live near a Kroger, you could soon have it delivered to your home via drone.

4. Diversity in Silicon Valley. A new support group is making the push to add more Black product managers in tech.
