Super Bowl or Waste Management? | Group Chat News Ep. 739

Today, Dee and Anand discuss a range of topics in the news. They start with the Super Bowl 2023, which had its highest viewership in six years. They then move on to the US CPI, which has decreased from its peak of 9.1% in June 2022 to 6.4% in January 2023. They also discuss the surprising rebound in retail sales by 3% in January, despite the increase in inflation. In addition, they touch upon the FTX judge ordering the names of Sam Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bail backers to be made public, Jay-Z and Bacardi ending their multibillion-dollar fight over a cognac venture, and Elon Musk directing Twitter engineers to design a secret system to boost his tweets over everyone else's. Lastly, they highlight a survey that revealed that 79% of food-delivery drivers admitted to eating customers’ food and Pharrell Williams succeeding Virgil Abloh as the head of men's designs at Louis Vuitton. - written by ChatGPT Timeline of What Was Discussed: A SUPER bowl recap of the weekend and the Waste Management golf tournament.
