Episode 356: Neal and Toby dive into the EU’s latest campaign against Big Tech, namely Meta and Apple, alleging these companies are stifling competition in Europe. Then, the Boston Celtics are just coming off an NBA championship, but that doesn’t stop the owners from selling the team. Plus, the FTC is looking into ‘junk’ patents from pharmaceutical companies meant to prevent generic drug makers from cutting into their business. Meanwhile, Roaring Kitty is at it again, this time making movements for Chewy.com. Next, Toby examines the trend of ‘romantasy’ novels that are flying off the shelves. Lastly, China might have a way around high US tariffs: golf carts.
