Hello and welcome to the How is Boeing OK edition of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of a pretty big week this week.

We've had a bunch of corporate earnings.

We've had news about capital markets, main street lending facilities, GDP.

In any case, I am Felix Cameron of Axios.

I'm here with Anna Shamansky of Breaking Views.

Hello.

I'm here with Emily Peck of Huffpost. Hello. We are going to talk about Boeing this week and how on earth is

it still even a company not in bankruptcy? Also the airlines. Also the meat packers. We are going to

talk about GDP and what it reveals and more importantly what it conceals.

All that coming up on Slate Money.

It's May. People's May, people. Happy May.

Hi, Happy May. Happy May.

under certain restrictions. This is what we all hoped for, right? When the coronavirus first hit, we were like, we will start seeing

bounce back in the beginning of the summer. And now I guess it's the beginning of the summer in

Texas. And so it's beginning to bounce back. Yeah, I mean, states are, I think it's about half

the states in the country starting to reopen or lift stay-at-home orders now.

And I mean, all the usual caveats and arguments are going to apply.
