Summary
The Harris campaign is proposing a bump in the capital gains tax that’s well below the rate President Biden had put forward. We’ll get into why remixing Biden’s tax plan scored her some points with corporate supporters. And, we’ll explain the fight between Disney and DirecTV that’s causing channel outages for subscribers. Plus, why Medicaid patients are struggling to access GLP-1 weight loss drugs and what the vibes are in the restaurant industry right now.
Here’s everything we talked about today:
- “Harris Tells the Business Community: I’m Friendlier Than Biden” from The New York Times
- “DirecTV chief content officer on ESPN blackout: Disney is still mandating minimum penetration” from CNBC
- “TV viewers get screwed again as Disney channels are blacked out on DirecTV” from Ars Technica
- “Disney networks go dark on DirecTV amid carriage dispute” from Axios
- “DirecTV is compensating customers affected by the Disney outage. But they have to take action to get it” from CNN
- “Who’s able to get weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy?” from Marketplace
- “Restaurant industry still struggles with staffing, consultant says” from Marketplace
