They also look at the AICPA's selection of Mark Koziel as its new president, questioning whether the organization truly advocates for average CPAs. Moving on, they discuss Intuit's controversial TurboTax marketing campaign and consider why Berkshire Hathaway is reducing its BOA stake due to concerns about unrealized losses in the bank's bond portfolio.Chapters Show NotesDo immigrants really take jobs and lower wages?https://www.npr.org/2024/06/28/1197959366/immigration-economics-mariel-boatliftEscalating Cyber Threats Demand Stronger Global Defense and Cooperationhttps://blogs.microsoft.com/on-the-issues/2024/10/15/escalating-cyber-threats-demand-stronger-global-defense-and-cooperation/American productivity still leads the worldhttps://www.economist.com/special-report/2024/10/14/american-productivity-still-leads-the-worldPublic sector talent shortage: Unique challenges require unique solutionshttps://www.journalofaccountancy.com/news/2024/oct/public-sector-accounting-challenges.htmlIntuit asked us to delete part of this Decoder episodehttps://www.theverge.com/2024/10/21/24273820/intuit-ceo-sasan-goodarzi-turbotax-irs-quickbooks-ai-software-decoder-interviewBuffett's Berkshire Trims BofA Stake Closer to 10%https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/stock-market-today-dow-sp500-nasdaq-live-10-08-2024/card/buffett-s-berkshire-trims-bofa-stake-closer-to-10--EQHbm5iLN4LTvbgNW29WNeed CPE?Get CPE for listening to podcasts with Earmark: https://earmarkcpe.comSubscribe to the Earmark Podcast: https://podcast.earmarkcpe.comGet in TouchThanks for listening and the great reviews!
