Summary

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is headed for space; he has a seat on Blue Origin’s first human space flight, and the rocket lift off is in July. As cyber attacks ramp up, White House Cyber Adviser Anne Neuberger shares the government’s efforts to keep American companies safe--but she needs the private sector’s cooperation. Former FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb considers the summer slowdown in U.S. vaccinations, but he expects low Covid-19 prevalence to, for the most part, keep the public safe. Plus, the G-7 nations have agreed to back a globally coordinated tax rate, and economists have their eye on U.S. inflation and consumer optimism. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
