Well, we've only scratched the surface on this topic.

This has been your daily FT News briefing.

Check back tomorrow for the latest business news.

Yeah, well, Monday is Memorial Day here in the U.S.

It's also the May bank holiday over in the U.K., which means quite a lot of us will not be working.

So we wanted to sort of switch up the content just a bit for our audience, too.

So on Monday, we're doing a fun little swap with Slate, which is an online daily news magazine based here in New York.

That episode is going to focus on the conversation about threats from billionaires to leave New York and California, since both of those states have floated this idea of raising more revenue through higher taxes on wealthier residents.

And then on Tuesday, we're dropping a conversation that I had with our colleague John Byrne Murdoch on global population decline.

Yeah, I'm so curious about this, too.

I'll give you a quick taste.

No huge spoilers here.

It's all the usual suspects that are contributing to this trend.

Economic factors that we've talked about a lot on this show that relate to job security, homeownership, affordability.

But really, it's this device that we keep in our purses, in our pockets, and we use to communicate with the outside world every single day that our phones is playing a bigger and bigger role in population decline, particularly in high- and middle-income countries.

I don't want to say anymore.

You're going to have to tune in to the show on Tuesday to hear why.

I know.

It's such a shocker, Mark.
