Hello and welcome to the menage effect episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business and finance news of the week.

I'm Felix

Salmon of Axios and Stacey Marie Ishmael is back with us and she is laughing.

Because Nikki Minaj is ruining my life.

Nikki Minaj is ruining Stacy's life. We will talk about why Nikki Minaj is ruining

Stacy's life. Stacy, welcome back. Hello. You're back in New York. You have a new job.

We're going to talk about that. That's exciting. And you've come out of a rather terrible experience, which we will mention. We'll talk a little bit about that. Emily Peck of Fundrise, you are here too. I'm also here and have not come out of a terrible experience. I'm glad to hear that. You've had a very good experience.

You have seen, as you say, like about the past five years, and have not come out of a terrible experience. I'm glad to hear that. You've had a very good experience.

You have seen, as you say, like about the past five years of your life,

encapsulated and trotted out to the world by none other than Janet Yellen, the U.S. Treasury Secretary.

So that's an exciting development in the world of what I promised Stacey,

I would not call

feminist fiscal policies.

So we won't call it that.

All humans benefit from these economic policies.

Just smart fiscal policy.

So we are going to talk about smart fiscal policy.

We are going to talk about delivery drivers in New York City and their electric bikes and the economics thereof.

And we are going to start by talking about vaccine mandates and what that means, all coming up on Slate Money.

So, Stacey, welcome back.

Thanks.

Where were you for the past two weeks?
