David Waldman is observing Yom Kippur today. He has pre-recorded an all-new show for today:
There was just too much left to say about the bizarre drug price-raising CEO story to let it drop at the end of yesterday's show, so we plow forward with that one, which really becomes completely nuts. At first glance, Martin Shkreli comes off as the typical multimillionaire boy-genius. But, a look at his history shows a streak of diabolical fiendishness. After all that,will he change?
Sticking with a theme of business follies—and hey, why not run the government like this, right?—we start to examine the business record of Carly Fiorina, both at HP and in her previous job at Lucent, which also pretty much collapsed. Hmm!
And of course, we have to ask WTF, VW?
Finally, in our Entrepreneurial Spirit corner: who says you have to "own" or "have rights in" the property you put on AirBnB? Don't be a dinosaur, man!
