The article seems inconsistent. It presents evidence that Netflix's bid failed because they didn't counter Paramount's bid, and evidence that the president likes to be involved, but no evidence that Netflix's bid failed…

Good listen. Tldr: the markets are amoral and, morality aside, our circumstances aren't that bad. Also there's a bunch of fomo around AI and all the major AI companies are listed in the US. It didn't mention an idea…
