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) .

What Next TBD: The X-odus

Since Elon Musk took over, Twitter—er, sorry “X”—has been slowly deflating. But given that soon you’ll be getting yelled at by right-wing trolls directly from White House press briefings, and your data is being swept up to train A.I., is there any reason to stay on the site at all anymore?

Slate Money: What the D.O.G.E?

This week: Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have a lot of “plans” for the D.O.G.E. [Emily Peck] (https://www.axios.com/authors/epeck) , [Elizabeth Spiers] (https://www.elizabethspiers.com/) , and Anna Szymanski discuss the suspect promises of the Trump-appointed heads of the Department of Government Efficiency. Then, Bitcoin is at a record high right now, though the value of crypto remains uncertain. Also, AI clones are being used to apply to jobs and even find us dates, but are they doing it well? In the Slate Plus episode: New York City has passed a bill preventing landlords from charging tenants for broker’s fees. Finally! Want to hear that discussion and hear more Slate Money?

Podcast production by Jessamine Molli and Cheyna Roth. Disclosure in Podcast Description: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile. See https://public.com/disclosures/bond-account to learn more. Learn more about your ad choices.
