The GOP Tax Bill, United Health’s Terrible Week, & Chinese Tech Earnings

Prof G Markets · 2025-05-19

Scott and Ed discuss why United Health’s stock hit a five year low, Warner Bros. Discovery's latest move to rebrand Max, and Airbnb’s foray into offering bookable services for travelers. They then break down earnings from Alibaba and Tencent, highlighting how the results signal the growing momentum of AI in China — and why they're feeling bullish on the country's tech sector. Finally, they dissect the GOP’s proposed tax bill, explaining how it overwhelmingly favors the wealthiest Americans and threatens to accelerate wealth concentration across the country.
