Hello and welcome to the It's Finally Infrastructure Week episode of Slate Money,

your guide to the Business and Finance News of Infrastructure Week. It was the week that Joe Biden came out with a 2 point

something trillion dollar infrastructure plan. I've seen 2 trillion, I've seen 2.5 trillion, I've

seen 2.8 trillion. Anyway, it's a lot of trillions. We're going to talk

about where those trillions are going to go if the plan gets passed. We're going to talk

about unionization and Amazon in Alabama. We're going to talk about

Arquetos, the family office, don't call it a hedge fund, that blew up spectacularly and

whether that's a systemic risk. We have a slate plus on Broadway because we have a very special guest this week. I have to say not only am I Felix

Aman Vaxiose and not only is Emily Peck here but this week is a

particularly phraab just week

because we are joined by Kurt Anderson.

Kurt, hello, welcome.

Oh Felix, and Emily.

I'm so happy to be here and, you know, we've been talking about this, me getting to come on for a while

and so pick this random week and here this random week turns out to be,, the beginning of the new new deal and B, the beginning of the new

new deal in another way with a potential epic unionization story and Broadway, which is also sort of 30s like so it all worked out perfectly

everything old is new again but for those of us for the one and a half listeners

Kurt who don't know who you are you.

You really do need no introduction.

Tell us who are you?

Oh, I'm a writer.

I'm a writer who used to have a radio show called Studio 360.
