Topics
Scott: 波音公司与工会间的谈判僵局反映了财富分配不均的问题,公司优先考虑股东利益导致员工工资增长滞后。亚马逊利用AI技术优化送货路线,提高效率,这将显著提升公司价值,但可能损害合同工的利益。美国司法部建议拆分谷歌,这与1999年对微软的反垄断案类似,但最终结果可能与微软案相同,谷歌可能不会被拆分。美国政府对Cerebrus Systems的国家安全审查可能导致其IPO推迟,这反映了政府对敏感AI技术外流的担忧。 Ed: 波音公司与工会谈判破裂,罢工将对波音造成巨大经济损失,但双方在薪资问题上存在分歧。亚马逊利用AI技术提高送货效率,节省成本,并可能间接创造更多就业机会,但这可能会对合同制司机造成负面影响。司法部建议拆分谷歌,这与1999年对微软的反垄断案类似,最终结果可能与微软案相同,谷歌可能不会被拆分,但反垄断审查本身会对谷歌的行为产生影响。美国政府对Cerebrus Systems的国家安全审查,可能源于对敏感AI技术外流的担忧,也可能存在保护主义因素。

Deep Dive

Chapters
The ongoing machinists' strike at Boeing highlights the growing disparity between owners and earners. While Boeing has offered a substantial raise, it pales in comparison to the rising cost of living over the past decade, underscoring the need for a mechanism to redistribute wealth more equitably.
  • Machinists' strike at Boeing nears one-month mark, costing an estimated $1 billion per month.
  • Boeing offered a 30% raise over four years, while the union is asking for 40%.
  • Boeing machinists' wages have increased only 8% over the last 10 years, compared to a 40% rise in consumer prices.

Shownotes Transcript

Scott and Ed open the show by discussing the ongoing machinist strike at Boeing, Amazon’s new AI tool for delivery drivers, the DOJ’s suggested remedies for the Google antitrust case, and a potential delay in Cerebras Systems’ IPO. Then they break down Hindenburg’s accusations against Roblox and discuss why its business model is so problematic. Finally, they break down Germany’s economic issues and why the country’s lack of spending might be the root cause of its problems. For our take on the Tesla robotaxi event and the stock’s resulting drawdown, tune in on Thursday.
