AI is accelerating disruption across markets. Anthropic's newest model, Claude Opus 4.6, is a shock to the system with its ability to organize autonomous AI agents, while investors fret about Big Tech's $650B AI infrastructure investment in our AI news update.

The fight over child safety has evolved into how platforms are designed to interact with kids. This episode breaks down the pivot in tech litigation: suing platforms for “defective design.” We explore how algorithms and recommendation loops are being treated like faulty brakes in court, why the “Age 13” supervision gap matters, and what this means for revenue models built on engagement.

Greenland sits at the crossroads of great power geopolitics — a key player in U.S.–China tensions, NATO’s internal fractures, and the global race for rare earth minerals. In this episode of Good Revenue, we uncover how Greenland Denmark history, the critical minerals potential, and Arctic geopolitics are reshaping international diplomacy, global strategy, and the balance of power.

Something isn’t adding up. Tariffs meant to punish rivals are hitting consumers instead, AI chip shortages are reshaping global power, and massive CEO pay packages keep missing their mark. This episode looks at the data behind these trends and the uncomfortable direction they’re pushing the economy.

California just launched the most aggressive crackdown yet on data brokers, the FAA handed a historic air traffic overhaul to a private-equity newcomer, and Walmart is scaling drone delivery faster than regulators can keep up. We break down what’s changing, why it matters, and where the risks are hiding.

A DOJ investigation into the Federal Reserve is no longer hypothetical. It’s happening now — forcing a reckoning over how much political pressure the central bank can withstand. This episode unpacks the AI crawler war between Google and publishers, Gemini’s rapid rise, China’s accelerating AI push, a slowing US job market, and the intensifying legal battle between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery.

Prediction markets are moving faster than the rules meant to govern them, and the consequences are starting to spill into courts, markets, and everyday risk. This episode breaks down why these platforms are headed for the Supreme Court, how new research reframes the Court’s economic influence, and why AI agents may be introducing security problems that can’t simply be fixed with software updates.

Warner Bros. Discovery is rejecting a debt-heavy takeover, AI chips are racing ahead at CES, and pressure on the Federal Reserve is becoming one of the most consequential economic risks of 2026. In this episode, we break down why Hollywood’s consolidation fight is really about broken business models, what Nvidia, AMD, and Google just revealed about the next phase of AI infrastructure, and why weakening central bank independence could carry far bigger consequences than most market headlines suggest.

2026 is wasting no time. Tesla has lost the EV crown, hybrid warfare is becoming a real-world risk, drug prices are rising again, and new research shows smartphones are hurting kids sooner than expected. We also examine rising AI debt and why some of the biggest tech players may be walking into the same traps they promised to avoid.

China is escalating its standoff with the United States, markets are flashing mixed signals beneath record highs, and the AI compute race is exposing real cracks as costs surge and reliability falters. As we close out 2025, this episode breaks down rising geopolitical risk, fragile financial structures, what Salesforce’s pivot says about the limits of today’s AI, and why energy jobs may be one of the clearest growth stories heading into 2026.

As 2025 comes to a close, this episode steps back to assess the forces reshaping the global economy. We break down the real cost of tariffs, fragile deal markets heading into 2026, slowing international travel, rising sovereign AI strategies, and the quiet damage from deep cuts to science funding. Taken together, these stories show a world in transition, where short-term policy choices are setting long-term constraints that will shape markets, technology, and geopolitics in the year ahead.

China’s vehicle export surge is colliding with US tariffs, squeezing global auto jobs and supply chains. At the same time, new signs suggest advanced AI chips are still reaching China despite export controls. We also cover soaring healthcare costs, major VA staffing cuts, rising CEO turnover, and a telling consumer signal as America’s largest bourbon maker prepares to go dark in 2026.

TikTok finally has a deal, the Oscars are moving off broadcast TV and onto YouTube, and the AI boom is starting to show real stress as the White House pushes to block states from regulating it. At the same time, the jobs report is weakening, manufacturing and younger workers are feeling the pressure, and falling inflation isn’t bringing the relief many expected as we head toward 2026.

Farmers, automakers, and consumers are feeling the pressure as tariffs, policy reversals, and energy costs collide. This episode breaks down the U.S. government’s $12B farm bailout, Ford’s $19.5B EV write-off, rising winter energy prices, and a surprising Disney–OpenAI deal. We also cover the European Union’s expanding regulatory posture on social media, China, taxation, and geopolitics, and what it all signals heading into 2026.

US shockingly reverses AI chip bans, letting Nvidia sell top tier H200 to "vetted" Chinese buyers for 25% US revenue share. Boosts China's lagging compute gap, copycat fabs, military AI, and undercuts US national security for nothing.

Roundup’s ghostwritten “safety science” just got retracted, as Netflix and Paramount battle for Warner Bros Discovery, China’s $1 trillion trade surplus shocks markets, and Meta’s teen‑safety lies blow up in court.

AI’s revenue myth shatters as OpenAI’s numbers fail to add up, China’s slowdown deepens, fraud spikes 180%, and tariffs reshape global autos and trade.
