EPISODE 32 - How the recession will affect content creators lessons from Netflix and HBO  Bad news was actually good news for NetflixNFLX -1.4% on Tuesday. In the company’s much-anticipated second quarter earnings call, coming three months after the streamer lost subscribers for the first time in a decade, it announced that it had lost an additional 970,000 subscribers.  That’s not good, certainly, but it could have been worse—in fact, Netflix thought it would be worse. It had projected a loss of 2 million subscribers in Q2, which is why its stock price rose more than 6% in after-hours trading on the news.  What’s more, Netflix predicted it would return to black among subscribers in the third quarter, projecting it will add 1 million. Last year during the same period, it added 4.4 million, so while the recovery is significant, the company is still nowhere near returning to its peak boom period.

Episode 30: Canadian Economy Headed For A Recession What Now?  

Inflation, labour shortages and rising interest rates will drag on Canadian growth, pushing the economy into a moderate contraction in 2023. The jobless rate will rise next year but to less severe levels than in previous downturns. Though higher rates will restrict growth, they’re necessary to tame inflation and cool an overheating economy. Household spending that accelerated out of pandemic lockdowns will slow as higher prices, interest rates and unemployment hit households. The bottom line: This recession will be moderate and short-lived by historical standards—and can be reversed once inflation settles enough for central banks to lower rates.

In May, the collapse of one of the most popular U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin projects cost investors tens of billions of dollars as they pulled out in a panic that some have compared to a bank run. A stablecoin known as terraUSD and its sister token luna experienced a pretty spectacular run-up before it all collapsed.  

Apple vice president of people and retail Deirdre O’Brien is explicitly dissuading employees from joining a union in an internal video leaked to The Verge. “I worry about what it would mean to put another organization in the middle of our relationship,” she says. “An organization that does not have a deep understanding of Apple or our business. And most importantly one that I do not believe shares our commitment to you
