We may be in an AI bubble. And if we are … what happens to the index funds that we and so many people are invested in?

Is “passive investing” truly passive?
On a new episode of Mary in America, @adri_robertson, professor of business law at @UChicagoLaw, joins @mdc to challenge what we know about index funds, the S&P 500, and who’s really making these decisions for us.

Companies are monitoring our online behavior and changing their prices accordingly.
And it’s becoming a hot issue, across party lines.

Mining is dirty, dangerous, and difficult.
So for decades, America was happy to make money from mining … but not in our backyard.

Personal news: After nearly 8 years at NPR, I’m excited to share that I’m going to Bloomberg to help lead coverage of the prediction market industry. I’ll be joining their mighty crypto and prediction markets team, which has long been doing really impressive work for @business and @BW. I start just after midterms.

Electric vehicles have created huge demand for critical minerals.
But sales of EVs are down. So what will that mean?
Mary Childs retweeted

“Tax the rich” is a popular battlecry.
But if we only think of “the rich” as megayacht-havers like Elon Musk, we’re missing a big chunk of who’s actually rich in this country.

America LOVES small business. Even more than it loves the military, or the Supreme Court.
But what actually makes a business “small”? Do we … know?
Mary Childs retweeted
Eric: "Small business is more venerated than the military, than the Supreme Court, than Congress —"
Mary [eyebrow raised]: "Well."
Eric: "...the media"
Mary [eyebrow on the ceiling]: "Well."
Nobody doing it like @mdc
