A Brazilian mining company’s billions in assets are frozen following a deadly dam break over the weekend, but it’s not the first time the firm’s operations have been put under scrutiny. Plus, we take a look back at that one time Starbucks’ CEO Howard Schultz told Marketplace’s David Brancaccio he was not considering running for elected office.
