Today, Dee and Anand discuss a wide range of topics, including the concept of a "Richcession" rather than a recession, and how investors can prepare for it. They also dive into the luxury hotel industry, where Hyatt is making bold moves while competitors focus on budget offerings. The hosts also discuss the brewing discontent among Disney employees over CEO Bob Iger's return-to-office mandate, and Amazon corporate workers potentially facing a pay reduction after a drop in shares. Additionally, they explore Instagram and Facebook's new paid-for verification feature, and the unsettling experience of interacting with Bing's AI chatbot. Finally, the hosts touch on the Qatar Royals' potential £5 billion bid for Manchester United, as well as the viral sensation who Shaquille O'Neal credits with "saving" the Slam-Dunk Contest. They close out the episode with a discussion on California's budget deficit, which has reached staggering heights.
