Squawk Pod

In a 66-page-long iteration of his annual shareholder letter, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon shares his expectations for America’s economic future, in both the immediate and long term. He’s bullish on the U.S., but wary of political and social dysfunction across the country. Pollster and political strategist Frank Luntz is urging leaders to choose their words wisely. A new survey reveals that Americans are broadly opposed to carrying a vaccine “passport,” but not a “verification” or “certification.” Rhetoric around vaccinations in this country could, according to Luntz, mean “the difference between life and death.” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has spoken out in favor of raising corporate tax rates, although his business won’t be affected by any of President Biden’s proposed changes. Plus, Kim Kardashian has hit billionaire status, turning her high-profile lifestyle into a highly profitable income.
