Slate Money: Why Netflix is Reducing Parental Leave

This week: Crypto companies are being debanked but they’re not the only ones. [Felix Salmon] (https://www.axios.com/authors/fsalmon) , [Emily Peck] (https://www.axios.com/authors/epeck) , and [Elizabeth Spiers] (https://www.elizabethspiers.com/) break down the conspiracy theory that debanking is a government attack on crypto. Then, Netflix has pared down their extreme leave policy. What does that signal about the direction of the company? And Spotify is finally making a profit and is acting like it.   In the Slate Plus episode: [Crumbl] (https://www.vox.com/money/389782/crumbl-cookies-tiktok-viral-consumption) and [rise of meme foods] (https://www.axios.com/2024/12/12/gen-z-millennials-tiktok-food) .  Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?

Death, Sex & Money | Betting on America: Two Gamblers, One Presidential Election

On election night, while many voters across the country were focused on who would win the presidency, a growing number of Americans were watching the returns with another question in mind: will I win or lose money? That’s because, just weeks before November 5th, a judge ruled that for the first time in almost a century Americans could bet large amounts of money on the outcome of political races.  In this episode, we talk to two people who made big bets: Mike, a Latino Democrat who bet $10,000 on Kamala Harris winning, and Jordan, a white conservative Trump supporter who risked $60,000 on Trump's victory. And Slate’s business and tech reporter Nitish Pahwa helps Anna understand the changing legal context for gambling in America.  Read Slate’s Nitish Pahwa's post on prediction markets and politics [here] (https://slate.com/technology/2024/09/kalshi-polymarket-cftc-lawsuit-prediction-markets-gambling.html) .
