Episode notes

The chapter explores proactive approaches to tackling social media issues, including implementing warning labels and safety measures. It also delves into the IRS's crackdown on tax avoidance practices, targeting basis shifting among large partnerships to increase tax revenue and scrutinizing personal flights on corporate jets.

Episode 346: Neal and Toby unpack US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s call for a warning label on social media apps before teens log on. Then, wealthy taxpayers have been exploiting a loophole and the IRS is fed up. Next, Wells Fargo’s partnership with Bilt Rewards has been a favorite among cardholders… Except it’s costing the bank millions of dollars. Plus, print magazines aren’t quite dead yet. Toby explains why he sees a thriving trend for high-end niche print magazines. Meanwhile, McDonald’s pulls back its AI-powered drive-thrus in over 100 stores due to its (quite comical) technical flaws. Lastly, customer satisfaction across 13 sectors are getting worse and worse. Have we lost the importance of customer service?
