Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday edition of the 3 Martini Lunch! Today, they tackle Democrats' misleading spin on Obamacare subsidies, the Trump administration's $20 billion bailout for Argentina, and an escalating Senate primary fight in Massachusetts.First, they highlight former Michigan Rep. Peter Meijer's sharp takedown of Democrats blaming Republicans for the expiring Obamacare subsidies. Meijer reminds CNN that Democrats created these COVID-era subsidies and agreed twice to let them lapse. Jim and Greg also explain how this whole fight proves yet again that Obamacare is a massive failure and was designed to fail.Next, Jim breaks down Argentina's economic turmoil and the U.S. decision to buy $20 billion of its devalued currency. Will this help give Javier Milei's free market economic agenda more time to work or is it too late?Finally, they dive into the latest Democratic Senate brawl, this time in Massachusetts. Eighty-year-old Sen. Ed Markey faces a challenge from Rep. Seth Moulton, who bizarrely argues that Markey isn't progressive enough and pledges to enact government-run health care.Please visit our great sponsors:Stop putting off those doctors' appointments and go to https://ZocDoc.com/3ML to find and instantly book a top-rated doctor today.Sponsored by Quo, formerly known as Open Phone: Get started free and save 20% on your first 6 months and port your existing numbers at no extra charge—no missed calls, no missed customers.

Australian taxpayers will fund a $600 million rescue package so mining giant Glencore can keep its Mt Isa copper smelter running for the next three years.

At nearly 12% delinquency—higher than the 2008 financial crisis—the system is on borrowed time.

PREVIEW: IMF BAILOUT: Colleague Joseph Sternberg of WSJ comments on the hypothetical that the IMF moves to bailout the debt-laden economies of London. More. 1901 THE ROYAL EXCHANGE AND THE BANK OF ENGLAND Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This segment introduces a significant debate concerning the International Monetary Fund (IMF) potentially bailing out the French and British governments. The idea is presented as if these major economies were small countries like Argentina, struggling and "out of whack". Joseph Sternberg explains the necessity and purpose of this debate, ultimately clarifying that both France and Britain are considered "too big to be bailed out" by the IMF. The segment sets the stage for understanding why such a notion, despite its apparent unfeasibility, has become a topic of discussion in London and Paris. Comment on Excerpt from "P-STERNBERG-IMF-9-2.mp3": This excerpt clarifies why the notion of an IMF bailout for France and Britain is largely symbolic rather than practical. The reality is that these countries are "far too big" for the IMF to realistically bail them out, despite its approximately one trillion US dollars in lending capacity. This capacity is sufficient for smaller economies like Pakistan or Greece, as seen 15 years ago with the Greek bailouts. However, for economies ranked as the sixth and seventh largest globally, with immense debt piles, the IMF cannot provide meaningful external assistance. Therefore, the crux of the debate in these countries is not about the feasibility of a bailout, but rather about the "policy conditions" the IMF would impose if such a bailout were to occur.

This week we talk about General Motors, the Great Recession, and semiconductors.We also discuss Goldman Sachs, US Steel, and nationalization.Recommended Book: Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek ThompsonTranscriptNationalization refers to the process through which a government takes control of a business or business asset.Sometimes this is the result of a new administration or regime taking control of a government, which decides to change how things work, so it gobbles up things like oil companies or railroads or manufacturing hubs, because that stuff is considered to be fundamental enough that it cannot be left to the whims, and the ebbs and eddies and unpredictable variables of a free market; the nation needs reliable oil, it needs to be churning out nails and screws and bullets, so the government grabs the means of producing these things to ensure nothing stops that kind of output or operation.That more holistic reworking of a nation's economy so that it reflects some kind of socialist setup is typically referred to as socialization, though commentary on the matter will still often refer to the individual instances of the government taking ownership over something that was previously private as nationalization.In other cases these sorts of assets are nationalized in order to right some kind of perceived wrong, as was the case when the French government, in the wake of WWII, nationalized the automobile company Renault for its alleged collaboration with the Nazis when they occupied France.The circumstances of that nationalization were questioned, as there was a lot of political scuffling between capitalist and communist interests in the country at that time, and some saw this as a means of getting back against the company's owner, Louis Renault, for his recent, violent actions against workers who had gone on strike before France's occupation—but whatever the details, France scooped up Renault and turned it into a state-owned company, and in 1994, the government decided that its ownership of the company was keeping its products from competing on the market, and in 1996 it was privatized and they started selling public shares, though the French government still owns about 15% of the company.Nationalization is more common in some non-socialist nations than others, as there are generally considered to be significant pros and cons associated with such ownership.The major benefit of such ownership is that a government owned, or partially government owned entity will tend to have the government on its side to a greater or lesser degree, which can make it more competitive internationally, in the sense that laws will be passed to help it flourish and grow, and it may even benefit from direct infusions of money, when needed, especially with international competition heats up, and because it generally allows that company to operate as a piece of government infrastructure, rather than just a normal business.Instead of being completely prone to the winds of economic fortune, then, the US government can ensure that Amtrak, a primarily state-owned train company that's structured as a for-profit business, but which has a government-appointed board and benefits from federal funding, is able to keep functioning, even when demand for train services is low, and barbarians at the gate, like plane-based cargo shipping and passenger hauling, becomes a lot more competitive, maybe even to the point that a non-government-owned entity may have long-since gone under, or dramatically reduced its service area, by economic necessity.A major downside often cited by free-market people, though, is that these sorts of companies tend to do poorly, in terms of providing the best possible service, and in terms of making enough money to pay for themselves—services like Amtrak are structured so that they pay as much of their own expenses as much as possible, for instance, but are seldom able to do so, requiring injections of resources from the government to stay afloat, and as a result, they have trouble updating and even maintaining their infrastructure.Private companies tend to be a lot more agile and competitive because they have to be, and because they often have leadership that is less political in nature, and more oriented around doing better than their also private competition, rather than merely surviving.What I'd like to talk about today is another vital industry that seems to have become so vital, like trains, that the US government is keen to ensure it doesn't go under, and a stake that the US government took in one of its most historically significant, but recently struggling companies.—The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 was a law passed by the US government after the initial whammy of the Great Recession, which created a bunch of bailouts for mostly financial institutions that, if they went under, it was suspected, would have caused even more damage to the US economy.These banks had been playing fast and loose with toxic assets for a while, filling their pockets with money, but doing so in a precarious and unsustainable manner.As a result, when it became clear these assets were terrible, the dominos started falling, all these institutions started going under, and the government realized that they would either lose a significant portion of their banks and other financial institutions, or they'd have to bail them out—give them money, basically.Which wasn't a popular solution, as it looked a lot like rewarding bad behavior, and making some businesses, private businesses, too big to fail, because the country's economy relied on them to some degree. But that's the decision the government made, and some of these institutions, like Goldman Sachs, had their toxic assets bought by the government, removing these things from their balance sheets so they could keep operating as normal. Others declared bankruptcy and were placed under government control, including Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which were previously government supported, but not government run.The American International Group, the fifth largest insurer in the world at that point, was bought by the US government—it took 92% of the company in exchange for $141.8 billion in assistance, to help it stay afloat—and General Motors, not a financial institution, but a car company that was deemed vital to the continued existence of the US auto market, went bankrupt, the fourth largest bankruptcy in US history. The government allowed its assets to be bought by a new company, also called GM, which would then function as normal, which allowed the company to keep operating, employees to keep being paid, and so on, but as part of that process, the company was given a total of $51 billion by the government, which took a majority stake in the new company in exchange.In late-2013, the US government sold its final shares of GM stock, having lost about $10.7 billion over the course of that ownership, though it's estimated that about 1.5 million jobs were saved as a result of keeping GM and Chrysler, which went through a similar process, afloat, rather than letting them go under, as some people would have preferred.In mid-August of this year, the US government took another stake in a big, historically significant company, though this time the company in question wasn't going through a recession-sparked bankruptcy—it was just falling way behind its competition, and was looking less and less likely to ever catch up.Intel was founded 1968, and it designs, produces, and sells all sorts of semiconductor products, like the microprocessors—the computer chips—that power all sorts of things, these days.Intel created the world's first commercial computer chip back in 1971, and in the 1990s, its products were in basically every computer that hit the market, its range and dominance expanding with the range and dominance of Microsoft's Windows operating system, achieving a market share of about 90% in the mid- to late-1990s.Beginning in the early 2000s, though, other competitors, like AMD, began to chip away at Intel's dominance, and though it still boasts a CPU market share of around 67% as of Q2 of 2025, it has fallen way behind competitors like Nvidia in the graphics card market, and behind Samsung in the larger semiconductor market.And that's a problem for Intel, as while CPUs are still important, the overall computing-things, high-tech gadget space has been shifting toward stuff that Intel doesn't make, or doesn't do well.Smaller things, graphics-intensive things. Basically all the hardware that's powered the gaming, crypto, and AI markets, alongside the stuff crammed into increasingly small personal devices, are things that Intel just isn't very good at, and doesn't seem to have a solid means of getting better at, so it's a sort of aging giant in the computer world—still big and impressive, but with an outlook that keeps getting worse and worse, with each new generation of hardware, and each new innovation that seems to require stuff it doesn't produce, or doesn't produce good versions of.This is why, despite being a very unusual move, the US government's decision to buy a 10% stake in Intel for $8.9 billion didn't come as a total surprise.The CEO of Intel had been raising the possibility of some kind of bailout, positioning Intel as a vital US asset, similar to all those banks and to GM—if it went under, it would mean the US losing a vital piece of the global semiconductor pie. The government already gave Intel $2.2 billion as part of the CHIPS and Science Act, which was signed into law under the Biden administration, and which was meant to shore-up US competitiveness in that space, but that was a freebie—this new injection of resources wasn't free.Response to this move has been mixed. Some analysts think President Trump's penchant for netting the government shares in companies it does stuff for—as was the case with US Steel giving the US government a so-called ‘golden share' of its company in exchange for allowing the company to merge with Japan-based Nippon Steel, that share granting a small degree of governance authority within the company—they think that sort of quid-pro-quo is smart, as in some cases it may result in profits for a government that's increasingly underwater in terms of debt, and in others it gives some authority over future decisions, giving the government more levers to use, beyond legal ones, in steering these vital companies the way it wants to steer them.Others are concerned about this turn of events, though, as it seems, theoretically at least, anti-competitive. After all, if the US government profits when Intel does well, now that it owns a huge chunk of the company, doesn't that incentivize the government to pass laws that favor Intel over its competitors? And even if the government doesn't do anything like that overtly, doesn't that create a sort of chilling effect on the market, making it less likely serious competitors will even emerge, because investors might be too spooked to invest in something that would be going up against a partially government-owned entity?There are still questions about the legality of this move, as it may be that the CHIPS Act doesn't allow the US government to convert grants into equity, and it may be that shareholders will find other ways to rebel against the seeming high-pressure tactics from the White House, which included threats by Trump to force the firing of its CEO, in part by withholding some of the company's federal grants, if he didn't agree to giving the government a portion of the company in exchange for assistance.This also raises the prospect that Intel, like those other bailed-out companies, has become de facto too big to fail, which could lead to stagnation in the company, especially if the White House goes further in putting its thumb on the scale, forcing more companies, in the US and elsewhere, to do business with the company, despite its often uncompetitive offerings.While there's a chance that Intel takes this influx of resources and support and runs with it, catching up to competitors that have left it in the dust and rebuilding itself into something a lot more internationally competitive, then, there's also the chance that it continues to flail, but for much longer than it would have, otherwise, because of that artificial support and government backing.Show Noteshttps://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/did-trump-save-intel-not-really-2025-08-23/https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/23/business/trump-intel-us-steel-nvidia.htmlhttps://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/08/intel-agrees-to-sell-the-us-a-10-stake-trump-says-hyping-great-deal/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Chapter_11_reorganizationhttps://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/government-financial-bailout.asphttps://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/amds-desktop-pc-market-share-hits-a-new-high-as-server-gains-slow-down-intel-now-only-outsells-amd-2-1-down-from-9-1-a-few-years-agohttps://www.spglobal.com/commodity-insights/en/news-research/latest-news/metals/062625-in-rare-deal-for-us-government-owns-a-piece-of-us-steelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renaulthttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-owned_enterprises_of_the_United_Stateshttps://247wallst.com/special-report/2021/04/07/businesses-run-by-the-us-government/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationalizationhttps://www.amtrak.com/stakeholder-faqshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Motors_Chapter_11_reorganization This is a public episode.

For decades, private equity has been the darling of pension funds, university endowments, and sovereign wealth funds, promising high returns and low volatility. Now, President Donald Trump has made it possible for everyday investors to get in on the magic with his executive order, "Democratizing Access to Alternative Assets for 401(k) Investors.” The order relieves regulatory burdens that limit the access of defined contribution plans, like 401(k)s, to alternative assets such as private equity (but also cryptocurrency and real estate). The hope is to give American workers access to greater choice, diversification, and potential growth towards a comfortable retirement.But Trump's order comes just as longstanding questions about private equity's promise of high returns and low risk are coming to the fore. Has the distribution of returns slowed to a trickle? What does data actually say about private equity's performance, and where is the industry headed? There is also a long standing debate whether private equity is good for society, independent of financial returns.Is private equity actually a ponzi scheme that now threatens the retirements of millions of American workers? To make sense of it all, Luigi and Bethany are joined by Dan Rasmussen, an experienced investor and author who began his career in private equity but has emerged as one of the most prescient critics of the industry. Together, the three of them distill what the state of the industry means for the future welfare of investors, workers, and the American economy as a whole.Bonus: Check out ProMarket's recent series on the impact of private equity in the health care industry.

Microsoft is facing backlash from managed service providers (MSPs) for not adequately protecting them against aggressive pricing strategies employed by larger licensing solution providers. These larger entities are reportedly undercutting smaller MSPs by as much as 20%, leading to significant margin erosion and increased competition. The Cloud Solution Provider Program, which was designed to create a more equitable environment for smaller providers, has not been effectively enforced by Microsoft, leaving many MSPs feeling abandoned. Analysts warn that this trend may result in consolidation among partners, as smaller providers struggle to compete in a landscape increasingly favoring larger firms.In the realm of cybersecurity, MSPs are grappling with severe alert fatigue, with a recent survey indicating that over 75% of providers experience this issue monthly. The report highlights that larger firms are particularly affected, with nearly half of those employing over 500 staff facing daily fatigue due to excessive tools and poor integration, which leads to a high volume of false positives. Alarmingly, one in four alerts is a false positive, and many providers are hesitant to consolidate their security tools due to concerns about migration complexity and potential feature loss. Despite the clear advantages of integrating platforms and enhancing automation, only 31% of MSPs have adopted AI or security orchestration tools to alleviate their burdens.In product news, several companies have made significant announcements. SuperOps has launched an AI marketplace for MSPs in collaboration with Amazon Web Services, aiming to streamline the adoption of AI agents for various tasks. Kaseya introduced customer responsibility matrices to help MSPs comply with Department of Defense cybersecurity requirements, while ConnectWise expanded its remote monitoring and management platform to include third-party patching for over 7,000 applications. Synchro reported impressive operational efficiency improvements for a client, and Ignite unveiled a no-code framework for creating customized AI agents.Lastly, the podcast discusses the ongoing challenges faced by Intel and the vulnerabilities in Enable's remote monitoring and management solution. Intel is receiving substantial investments from SoftBank and potential support from the U.S. government, indicating a lack of market confidence in the company's performance. Meanwhile, Enable is dealing with two critical vulnerabilities that are being actively exploited, with nearly 900 servers still unpatched. The urgency for MSPs to apply updates and validate their security measures is emphasized, as these vulnerabilities pose significant risks to their operations. Four things to know today 00:00 Microsoft Faces Backlash as MSPs Accuse CSP Program of Favoring Larger Licensing Providers04:53 From SuperOps to Egnyte, Vendors Announce AI and Security Features—Syncro Stands Out With Measurable Results07:50 Chip Market Split: Intel Relies on Bailouts, Foxconn Rides Explosive AI Demand10:24 Shadowserver: Nearly 900 N-able N-central Servers Remain Unpatched Against Critical Vulnerabilities This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: https://www.moovila.com/ https://scalepad.com/dave/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?
