The episode begins with a look at the strong growth numbers shared in  Walmart's Q2 2021 earnings report and Amazon's breakdown between first  and third party sales. After touching on an interesting marketplace we  discovered where users can buy and sell Amazon seller accounts, Alex  digs into the latest on California's AB5 law and how it will likely  result in Uber and Lyft ceasing business in the state. The second half  of the show takes a look at China's 50 Cent Party, a state run internet  propaganda farm, and the shortcomings of contact tracing apps.
