The opening ceremony of the Summer Olympics are slated to get underway today in Paris. And while artificial intelligence isn’t competing (yet), it is playing a role in scoring, crowd control and security, and even finding talent. Also on the show: Inflation inches closer toward the Federal Reserve’s target in June, and California’s Supreme Court deals a blow to efforts by gig workers to be classified as employees with certain benefits.
A new study from researchers at Harvard’s Opportunity Insights and the Census Bureau finds that children have a better chance at moving up the economic ladder if most of the adults they interact with are employed — not just in the household but beyond. We’ll delve in. Plus, the Biden White House still has lots on its economic plate before a new president comes to power in six months.

Then, we’ll look at how AI is being used to help make athletes’ lives easier and scoring more accurate at this year’s Games.
You’ve probably heard of dynamic pricing, like on ride-sharing apps.

We’ll unpack. Plus, GDP was higher than anticipated in the second quarter — but it wasn’t driven by consumers.
Wall Street indexes are droopy this morning after a surge downward yesterday. The S&P 500 fell 2.3% and the Nasdaq had its deepest drop in two years.

From the BBC World Service: The stock market sell-off is spreading from the U.S. to Asia and Europe.

Then, smaller brands are competing against fashion giants to deck out this year’s Olympic athletes.
“We started breaking down crying, because I didn’t think I would get out for my mother’s funeral.” “I’m about $10,000 out of pocket right now for just lodging, food and transportation.” These are just a few of the pained frustrations passengers at Atlanta’s airport, Delta’s primary hub, shared after flight delays and cancellations following the recent CrowdStrike outage. Also: sluggish home sales, the ban on noncompete agreements and politicization of the Federal Reserve.
Working for cash off the books is illegal. But there are routes to work for immigrants who don’t have permission to in the U.S. as an independent contractor or by establishing a Limited Liability Company, or LLC. Today, we’ll hear from one young man who’s seeking a visa that would allow him to work — but he’s looking to start an LLC in the meantime. But first: Tesla is losing ground overseas.

1Despite threats of legal challenges from the right, Vice President Kamala Harris’ camp appears poised to inherit around $100 million from what was the Biden-Harris campaign — and that’s after an additional $100 million was raised in the 24 hours after Sunday’s shake-up. So how will a new name at the top of the Democratic ticket change how campaign dollars are spent? Plus, little stocks are starting to get bigger attention.

And there are growing calls to add an African country to the highly lucrative Formula One series of races.

From the BBC World Service: A raft of businesses and organizations running Microsoft’s Windows apps have been affected by a major global IT outage.

First, semiconductor manufacturer TSMC has seen a surge in sales, yet its stock took a hit yesterday. That followed news the U.S. might further curb exports to China and comments by former President Donald Trump that TSMC’s home base of Taiwan would need to start paying for its own defense.

At the start of this week’s Republican National Convention, Republicans adopted a new platform that promises to preserve Social Security and Medicare with no cuts, while also pledging to cut taxes for working Americans.

Although baccarat appears to be a fairly straightforward, simple game that is completely dependent on chance, it has remained very popular for many years.

If I spent , borrowed, then dumped that borrowed money into the market, as much as the Federal government does, the inflation would grow exponentially. The key is that the inflation is based on the difference between taxes income and money spent. If government borrowing covers the over spending each borrowed dollar lowers the value of each dollar already in the market, since the tax income doesn't change. Ergo inflation. Consumer spending increases the market value by the exchanging of dollars.
