What is the Big Beautiful Bill and its implications?
Sounds pretty nice.
I know. We were laughing at this because that actually does feel like a blissful little two moments of peace for you. But add in all those messages plus post-work messages, and we are experiencing 275 interruptions a day. No wonder you can't think. Some other data points just showing how scatterbrained we are in the modern workplace. 60% of meetings are ad hoc versus scheduled. And then edits in PowerPoint spike 122%. in the final 10 minutes before a meeting, so love all you procrastinators out there. Also, the messages do follow you home. Microsoft found that there's been a 15% year-over-year increase with messages outside the nine to five work hours, so anytime you feel like your work is chaotic or fragmented, you're probably right.
Now, Microsoft tries to position AI as the answer and the solution to all of this, but I say the answer is go outside and take a walk without your phone. And now a word from our sponsor, Iterable. Neil, I want you to imagine something. Imagine you just jumped into the ocean wearing a full business suit. Full birthday suit? Sounds like that wedding I went to in Punta Cana. No, Neil, this is a morning show. I said business suit, uncomfortable, outdated, and wildly impractical for the situation at hand. That's what using campaign based marketing feels like in 2025.
How did Sesame Street end up on Netflix?
Traditional campaigns are rigid and often totally miss the point. Your customers don't live on a marketing calendar. They live in the now. Iterable helps brands ditch the old playbook and deliver AI powered, always on personalization that meets people in real time.
So instead of waiting three weeks for the Q3 summer sale email, you get a message when you actually need something.
Iterable orchestrates engagement across every channel. Feels kind of like leaving your suit on the sand and diving in with purpose. Neil, again with this birthday suit metaphor. Don't let your marketing sink. Swim smarter and less inhibited. Head to endthecampaign.com to learn more. The big beautiful bill is on the move.
Why are college towns facing economic decline?
Late Sunday night, a congressional committee advanced President Trump's massive spending and tax package with the hopes of teeing up a House vote before Memorial Day weekend. This thing, running over 1,100 pages, is the centerpiece of Trump's legislative agenda and would shake up everything from your taxes to Medicare to the electric vehicle tax credit. The primary purpose of the bill is to extend the 2017 tax cuts from Trump's first term in office. Those would expire at the end of the year. So absent an extension, taxes would go up for most Americans by 2026. So that's priority number one. In addition to continuing those tax cuts, the bill also eliminates taxes on tips, overtime, and car loan interest, fulfilling promises Trump made on the campaign trail.
All of that foregone revenue is going to be extremely costly for the U.S. government. To pay for the tax cuts, the bill claws back clean energy credits from Biden's Inflation Reduction Act and would make other cuts to Medicaid and food stamps. But it won't make up the difference, and it would exacerbate a spiraling debt problem cited by Moody's when it cut the U.S. 's credit rating on Friday. Even with the spending reductions, the bill would add over $3.2 trillion in new red ink over the next decade. That's according to the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. And this double whammy of the Moody's rating cut and the prospect of even higher deficits from the tax bill shook Wall Street yesterday, spurring investors to continue... selling bonds and the dollar.
