This week’s episode of The Real Word began with a BAM article on new Airbnb restrictions in 25 towns and cities across the U.S. and Canada—with more likely to join the list.

The “Left, Middle, Right” segment began with the multi-billion dollar Microsoft investment in ChatGPT maker OpenAI, followed by Americans leaving New York and California for low-tax states like Florida and Texas—and a new bill for a wealth tax that would apply even to former California residents that moved out of state, starting next January.
