On today’s show, Kai makes a special annoucement! But first, Moody’s knocked the United States’ government’s credit rating down a peg below Triple-A. We’ll break down what that actually means and why it may not be as dire as it sounds but still matters a lot for the vibes. Plus, we’ll explain why, even with a majority, the House GOP hasn’t been able to pass its budget bill. And, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty and nerd out on “Star Wars” spin-off shows.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “House budget panel rejects GOP megabill amid conservative opposition” from Politico
- “Army to place large metal plates on DC streets to protect them from tanks during June parade” from WTOP News
- “U.S. Loses Last Triple-A Credit Rating” from The Wall Street Journal
- “Airbnb Is in Midlife Crisis Mode” from Wired
- “Why banks still have branches — and why some are motivated to add more” from Marketplace
- “Gen Z’s ‘conscious unbossing’ should be a wake-up call for businesses” from Business Insider
- “Is the Next Great American Novel Being Published on Substack?” from The New Yorker
- “Warner’s Streaming Service Has New Name: Its Old One. Meet ‘HBO Max.’” from The Wall Street Journal
