Hello and welcome to the you could never have too many bananas episode of

Slate Money. Your guys are the business and finance news of the week. I'm Felix

Hammond of Axios. I have a British accent. We will talk about that in

Slate Plus. I'm here with Emily Peck of Axios who does not have a British

accent. Hello and I say bananas. You say bananas and where's your accent from

Emily? Let's just say New York. We'll just say New York. And Elizabeth Spires,

if you listen to Slate Bus you will hear her desperately trying to do an English

accent. It's kind of glorious. You claim that your accent is mostly Southern

still? No, I think it's mostly nowhere person now but it's got a little

Southern inflection. So Elizabeth is going to explain to us all of the

politics behind the debt ceiling and why it's so stupid and why it exists and

why it hasn't been abolished. We are going to talk about regulation of tech in

general and of AI in particular and whether it's a good idea and why at least one

AI CEO seems to want it. We are going to talk about greed flation. The idea

that inflation is caused by companies raising their profit margins and their

prices and just trying to make more money for their shareholders. It's all

coming up on Slate Money. Crypto doesn't sleep so neither do we. Crack-in client
