When one thinks about the wealthiest Americans, ultra-rich billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos might come to mind. But there is a class of rich private business owners hiding in plain sight.
University of Chicago Associate Professor Eric Zwick and Princeton University Professor Owen Zidar join Tracy Alloway and Joe Weisenthal on the Odd Lots podcast to discuss how income inequality started to rise in tandem with the growing number of pass-through businesses.

Paramount Skydance Corp. has settled lawsuits brought by 12 state attorneys general and the Writers Guild trade union, allowing the company to close its acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. #news #business #usa
The settlement includes protections to limit the market power and ensure the editorial independence of the media giant, and requires Paramount to release 30 movies a year at the combined studios.
Paramount has agreed to various terms, including investing $1.5 billion in domestic film and TV production, and not selling or closing its big studio lots in the Los Angeles area, in a bid to appease politicians and unions.

So make up for these costs, GM will be raising the cost of their products even more which they can not sell presently because they have become too unaffordable to average Americans causing GM to sell even less. Can you say, "Government bailout" for GM again, after of course top management is well taken care of!!!

Un fucking believable. They didn't have a penny to share with all of their employees…but now they magically have 10 billion to manipulate the market with? And are increasing their dividend?!? Corporate America is broken. Full stop.

If you've watched Barra's career since she was a product manager at GM, you know she was never the right person for the top job. Some CEOs are appointed and praised during a market recovery, when a flock of parakeets in the c-suite could do no wrong. And the influence of these CEOs is a lagging indicator, often not well known until tougher challenges inevitably come. They can steer a company into an inevitable ditch, but by then are sitting on a boatload of cash and ready to retire to a tropical island. This is why CEO pay gets a deserved bad reputation.
@Shiftheads
December 17, 2023 at 3:40 am
She has one job and that is to make the stock price higher while she is ceo. It's how she is paid so it's her only concern. She will leave gm rich and they will have made no progress in manufacturing electric vehicles like she promised.

I’m speaking to common sense and wise, auto the workers and UAW what type of law without a company device is on stop shares stupidity on top of stupidity, corrup in moral. it is like a person who makes clothing and sells clothing and then buys 20 to 30% of his own clothing ??? the UAW President Mr. Fain did not squeeze every dollar out of these companies , You did great job,EXCEPT FOR RETIRED WORKERS AND SOON TO BE!!! A 42 dollars a month raise REALLY REALLY really! The same amount of money since 2008, 20% of purchasing power eradicated vanish gone, by the way how much the trucks SUVs COST in 2008 Mary Mary Mary ?????

@davidbudd2624

For a company as deeply in debt as GM, the idea of a stock buyback (which reduces precious common equity) by a company which many believe will be filing for bankruptcy within a decade is not only incomprehensible but insane. If GM then begs for a bailout (funded by taxpayers) we will have witnessed a failure accelerated by preferential treatment for shareholders at the expense of taxpayers. Does anyone else smell that distinct smell of mackerel? This is an example of abusive behavior by management, the board of directors and the federal government. Don’t do it Mary!!

Earlier this year, GM received $2.5 billion to aid in the Ultium battery development. And now there is money for stock buybacks? The purpose of the stock buyback is to prop up the price of GM stock which is one of the metrics used in determining Barra's bonus compensation. Enough said.
