This week, Mike and I are getting into everything: the Iran ceasefire that isn't really a ceasefire, Alex Karp's unfiltered indictment of the entire AI business model, and why we think Trump Accounts might be the single best policy idea to come out of this administration. Plus, we're discussing whether we think a California billionaire wealth tax is a good idea. This and much more on this week's episode of All Things Markets.
