Hello, welcome back to Slate Money. I am Felix Salmon of Axios. I'm here with Emily Peck of Axios.

Hi. I am here with Elizabeth Spires, who has written a great piece of the New York Times this week.

Hello.

We are going to talk about Elizabeth's column in the New York Times, all about Strivers and Tom Wamskans.

That is going to be in the Slate Plus though,

because we have a packed show this week.

We're going to talk about Target Budweiser

and all of the other gay-friendly companies who have been targeted by anti-woke

mobs. We are going to talk about NVIDIA, which is soaring through the stock

market on the strength of the AI boom.

We are going to talk about Germany, which is now officially in a recession.

We have a jam-packed show, it's all I can say, so it's all coming up on slate money.

Okay, Emily, I really want to ask you about anti- woke activism,

which I feel is new this year. I haven't really seen it in the corporate context before and it's

hitting target right now and it hit Budweiser a few weeks ago.

Can you just bring me up to speed on this?
