Hello, welcome to the Doos Caramucci's episode of Slate Money, your guide to the business

and finance news of the week I'm Felix Amon of Axios, Emily Peck of Axios is with me.

Hi.

Hi Emily and Elizabeth Spires.

Hello.

Hello.

So you remember what a Caramucci is, right?

It's the length of time that Anthony Scaramucci spent as comms director for Donald Trump.

I think it's 11 days.

CNN plus managed to outlast that in its lifetime existence, but not by much.

It lasted about two scaramucci, so we're going to talk about CNN plus and Netflix earnings,

which were disappointing, their subscribers going down rather than up.

We are also going to talk about mask mandates and why everyone seems to be happy that they

are going.

We are going to talk about inflation and what it has to do with prices on the internet.

We have a Slate Plus about Elon, because we can't stop talking about Elon.

It's all coming up on Slate Money.

Okay, so let's talk about streaming, because it was the future of all things, televisual,

until this week, at which point, shit got real, and CNN plus got canned, and Netflix

fell off a cliff, and Netflix said it was losing subscribers and was going to have to

start pivoting to a grab bag of other business models, like selling ads and video games and

stuff.
