We all know the big economic stories of the year: the trade war, the tariffs. But there’s another — even bigger? — story that hasn’t been getting the same attention: the Ozempicification of our diets, our bodies and our economy. On this week’s TLDR, we take a look at the transformation underway. Plus, economic indicators are telling one story about a potential recession; the headlines are telling another. Which one is right? And, why does it feel like everyone’s drinking less alcohol? 

This episode was hosted by Devin Friedman, business reporter Sarah Rieger and former hedgefunder Matthew Karasz, with an appearance by Armine Yanizyan, Atkinson Fellow on the Future of Workers. Follow us on other platforms, or subscribe to our weekly newsletter: linkin.bio/tldr
