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.

At a time when Republicans and Democrats can rarely agree, there’s one thing bringing both sides together: critical minerals, obviously.

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?

The “Wedding of the Century” in 2023 was a multi-day affair complete with a private jet that flew guests to France for parties at Versailles and the Arc de Triomphe. But who were the hosts? Owners of a small empire of car dealerships in Coral Gables, Florida.

A shift is happening, in South Korea and the U.S.: When it comes to having kids – or even having sex – people are opting out. Author @minjinlee11 thinks about this a lot, and she’s still thinking.

“I actually completely agree that I was not right.” Brown economics professor @ProfEmilyOster still occasionally gets heat for her 2007 TED Talk. And she agrees – she was totally wrong. But not for the reason everyone else was saying.
