Something More With Chris Boyd Show Podcasts

In the Financial News this week – Never a lack of breaking financial news on the minds of investors. Chris Boyd and Jeff Perry review a few stories from the past week, starting off with the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep the Fed Funds rate steady. Jeff reviews several employment reports that may show a slowdown in hiring. The pair next discuss a House of Representatives vote which passed a bipartisan tax bill that would increase the Child Tax Credit to benefit millions of low income families, while also allowing for the favorable treatment of corporate tax deductions for certain research and development expenses. The episode closes with a conversation of Elon Musk's Neuralink implanted brain computer chip. This evolving technology uses a robot to surgically place a brain-computer interface (BCI) in a region of the brain that controls the intention to move. The initial goal is to enable people to control a computer cursor or keyboard using their thoughts alone.
