Topics
Scott Galloway: 我认为Kalshi聘请小唐纳德·特朗普担任顾问是赤裸裸的裙带关系,但这在当今的裙带关系盛行的世界里并不罕见。然而,这与亨特·拜登此前担任能源公司顾问的行为性质相同,都不应该发生。在当前经济向寡头政治转变的背景下,公司有责任利用其与政府的关系来获利。美国小费下降是由于多种因素造成的,包括经济状况恶化和人们对强制小费的抵制。美国的小费文化正在终结,这可能是由于经济原因或文化反弹。强制收取服务费的做法让我反感,因为它剥夺了顾客自行决定小费金额的权利。疫情后低端工人的工资大幅上涨,但这可能导致企业减少员工工资,因为他们认为员工的小费收入增加了。GoFundMe在捐款中默认添加小费的做法令人难以置信,这实际上是一个巨大的商机。洛杉矶山火将带来许多次级效应,其中包括太平洋帕利塞德斯社区的升值以及保险业的变革。我不认为纳税人应该为那些选择居住在易燃地区的人们提供救济。将洛杉矶山火归咎于多元化、公平与包容(DEI)计划是错误的,气候变化才是罪魁祸首。在应对危机时,政府和社区的首要任务应该是拯救生命和财产。 Andrew Ross Sorkin: 在特朗普第二任期,通货膨胀、关税和人工智能将是三个主要的经济主题。债券市场可能是限制特朗普政府行动的唯一因素。目前的另类投资生态系统,特别是私募股权,已经崩溃,因为缺乏退出机会。华尔街投资者目前关注的重点是10年期国债收益率,以及由此带来的成本上升。特朗普当选后市场上的乐观情绪,部分源于对科技公司放松监管的预期。人工智能领域的芯片制造商、基础设施公司和能源公司仍然具有长期增长潜力,但软件领域的估值可能存在高估。将TikTok出售给马斯克具有讽刺意味,因为它可能导致权力进一步集中。马斯克与特朗普的关系可能不会很快结束,因为双方都有各自的利益诉求。传统媒体由于其事实核查和责任制度,难以与社交媒体竞争。传统媒体需要更好地与读者、观众和听众建立联系,以保持信任。新闻报道仍然是他职业生涯的核心,而其他业务,如书籍和电视节目,都是辅助性的。

Shownotes Transcript

Scott and Ed open the show by discussing Kalshi’s decision to appoint Donald Trump Jr. as its new advisor, a decline in tipping across America, and the economic impact of the wildfires in Los Angeles. Then Andrew Ross Sorkin, editor-at-large of DealBook at the New York Times and co-anchor of CNBC’s Squawk Box, joins the show to discuss the key economic trends he’s watching for Trump’s second term. He explains why he thinks the private equity space is broken right now, analyzes the changing landscape of the AI industry, and shares his thoughts on the rumors that China is considering selling TikTok to Elon Musk. Andrew also offers his perspective on how journalists and legacy media should adapt to a social media era that lacks fact-checking and trust.
