When Scott was 17, his father took him on a college tour of the US Naval Academy. He pitched it real hard and said, if you go to the Naval Academy, I'll buy you a Trans Am. And then he found out there's no tuition. If you get in, you get to go for free. His dad did not go to Annapolis, but it got him paid for his college. It was a great way to come up from a middle class family.
Kara and Scott talk big earnings at Salesforce, Amazon's HQ2 construction pause, and more executive departures at Apple. Also, TikTok ban bills are moving ahead, amid renewed GOP attacks on Big Tech. Plus, we’re joined by Friend of Pivot Jeff Kosseff to discuss how new bills aimed at online speech could challenge the First Amendment.
