Hello and welcome to the Everything is Concrete

of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix Salmon of Axios.

I'm here with Stacey Marie Ishmael.

Hello.

And we are here with Emily Peck of Fundrise.

You have a job, Emily.

I have a job, Felix and Stacey besides this one.

Contributing to those good jobs numbers.

I have a new job.

I am the new content director at Funrise, and I'm going to be launching something that people will want to read possibly in the future. Stay tuned. Are you one of the 850,000 jobs that were

created in June? No, I'm sadly not one of those. I started in May, actually,

but I kind of like kept it quiet for kind of like a soft launch. I didn't want to bring the news

to anyone until I was sure that I was into it, but I'm into it. Congratulations on the fundraise job,

Emily. We have all manner of fun things this week. I get to

whip out a bunch of the random pile of concrete and brutalism statistics that I've had sitting around in the base of my skull for years. And I knew it would come in handy one day. And there's a newshook now with a tragic news hook. It has to be said.

Definitely tragic.

So we are going to talk about concrete. We are going to talk about Airbnb and if they're evil and when they became evil.

But yeah, we are going to kick off by talking about Robin Hood, which is another company, which seems maybe less than good.

So all of that coming up.

And there is a lot of positive fun slate plus action in our Slate Plus segment on donuts.

So get your Slate Plus membership.
