Hello, welcome to the burning platform episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business

and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix Salmon of Axios here with my colleague Emily Peck, and Elizabeth Spires.

And we are going to talk about Southwest Airlines booking platform and how it blew up over

the holidays.

We are going to talk about non-computes and whether the entire country can or should move

to become basically California where non-computes have been outlawed for as long as I can remember.

We have a Slate Plus about e-bikes and of course, because this is Slate Money and we can't

go three weeks without talking about crypto, we're going to talk about Silvergate, which

was a big bank, which suffered a bank run and it's crypto related, and we're going to talk

It's all coming up on Slate Money.

Emily, this is a big day for workers.

You called it in Axios.
