Business/Stock Market News Segment

Would you ever consider having daily or weekly stock market roundup segment? There really aren't any alternatives to business/stock market news coverage that use the Breaking Points model independent from corporations. I've worked at both CNBC (owned by Comcast) and Bloomberg (privately owned by Michael Bloomberg) and both have stakeholders which make it impossible to be fully transparent. At Bloomberg, there's a rule not to cover Michael Bloomberg or include him on the Bloomberg Billionaire's list even though he would be on that list. On Youtube, there are a lot of "financial experts" which are sometimes very popular but how trustworthy are they really? I know you cover some financial news, and was wondering if maybe there would be something in the works for the future.

Help My Boomer Parents!

Hello! My parents, a couple CNN faithfuls, have organically shown interest in other types of media and I couldn’t wait to tell them about your show. The problem… they don’t have Apple Podcasts or Spotify and I think would appreciate your entire episode from start to finish instead of individual YouTube videos. Is this free content available anywhere? I’m a proud premium subscriber and I’m sure they would love to join to support, however is this interim time is there somewhere else to access the free full episodes. You are a light in an otherwise increasingly dark America!

Generational Attrition?

Hello krystal and saagar, Congratulations on your two year anniversary and current new set that is being built. My question I like to ask is about generation favoritism, with running avg age of congress running in 50+ and policies that favors Neoliberalism with pro-corp leadership and support organizations, do you feel like millennials and gen z are stuck in moment of Attrition and waiting for older generations to transition in next couple of decades to realign policies to support communities and fix Overton window?

Why Is the Counterpoints Logo Off Center?

Why is the Counterpoints logo super off-center and asymmetrical? The bottom arrow goes all the way to the end of the word, but the top arrow stops three letters before the beginning, the arrows are different lengths, and the word itself isn't even centered! Now that I noticed it I can't unsee it. Is there a reason for it that I'm missing? https://www.reddit.com/r/BreakingPoints/comments/1412l7a/is_the_counterpoints_logo_off_center/
