One of our listeners asked, and the answer is no. Of course, it wasn’t always this way. On this Whadda Ya Wanna Know Wednesday, we’ll look at the role of cheap Facebook ads in elections and how Mark Zuckerberg sees it. Plus, the appliance shortage, the Phillips curve and the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Here’s a list of everything we talked about today:
- “Labor Day weekend sales impacted by appliance shortage” from Fox Business
- Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s recent remarks on inflation
- But… if Janet Yellen isn’t stressed about inflation, we won’t be either
- “The best way to watch Marvel movies is in chronological order” from SB Nation
None of us is as smart as all of us.
No matter how bananapants your day is, “Make Me Smart” is here to help you through it all— 5 days a week.
It’s never just a one-way conversation. Your questions, reactions, and donations are a vital part of the show. And we’re grateful for every single one.
