Over the weekend, we learned that telecommunications giant AT&T provided extensive assistance to the NSA while the agency conducted surveillance on any and all internet traffic passing through the US. We already knew that AT&T, just like many other telecommunications companies, had worked with the agency, but now we’re learning about the extent to which the company may have shown, as one document put it, the “extreme willingness to help” the government. Ameera David weighs in.
Then, Ameera and Erin Ade talk about a recent report in The New York Times about what it’s like to work at Amazon. The article highlights instances of employee abuse which many claim were systemic to the organization. It also prompted a public response from founder Jeff Bezos.
Afterwards, Bianca Facchinei takes a look at why a non-profit filed a notice of intent to file a lawsuit against Soylent, the venture-backed meal replacement company. The group claims that Soylent failed to notify customers about dangerous levels of lead and cadmium.
After the break, Ameera is joined by Marshall Auerback – research associate at the Levy Economics Institute and fellow at Economists for Peace and Security. Marshall gives us his take on China’s currency devaluation and tells us if it will boost economic growth.
And in The Big Deal, Ameera and Edward Harrison discuss tech startup funding. While the boom may continue for category leaders that have reached scale, some are fearful a bust is just around the corner.

Erin sits down with Marc Faber – editor and publisher of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report and director of Marc Faber Ltd. Marc tell us what he why he believes this is the year that people will lose confidence in central banks and gives his usual nod to buying physical gold outside of the United States. However, he admits he likes the gold miners right now as a way to get exposure to the sector. Marc also gives us his macro view on China and the industrial commodities space. In China, Marc believes the real GDP growth rate has slowed to 4%. On the commodities side of things, he believes that the high cost of production will eventually lead to a price resurgence. But he says there will be pain in the short run.
