Make Me Smart with Kai and Molly   /     The great HQ migration

Description

Some states are trying to lure companies seeking to move their headquarters by offering a slew of financial perks. We’ll explain how these big relocations can impact local economies and the businesses themselves. And, the House of Representatives passed a defense bill that would restrict transgender medical care for children covered by the military’s health program. We’ll unpack how federal funding for health care can be used as a powerful political tool. Plus, do you dread winter? We’ll get into some tips for embracing the season. Here’s everything we talked about today: “Transgender Provision Injects Tension Into Defense Vote” from The Wall Street Journal “Will Democrats Let the GOP Gut Trans Health Care?” from Rolling Stone “Brace for a Nationwide Shuffle of Corporate Headquarters” from Bloomberg “9 Ways to Embrace Winter — Even if You Think You Hate It” from Time “New Jersey Politician Fakes Spotify Wrapped to Show All Springsteen Songs” from The New York Times We love to hear from you.
