Episode #487 of the SMRpodcast is online and ready for download.  The entire crew is here and wastes no time getting into this tech news including Comcast's reversal on imposing data caps during a pandemic.  Amazon was hit with a $65 million fine for taking Amazon Flex driver's tips and using them to subsidize their base salary Pay.  The GameStop short squeeze has revealed all types of market manipulation by retail investment firms and the clearinghouses that support their trades, and it's a safe bet that we will see new regulations on short trading in the not too distant future.

Jeff Bezos is stepping down as Amazon's CEO, Borderlands developer GearBox bought for $1.3 billion, Google Meet is not really a threat to MS Teams, and Amazon buys a fleet of electric delivery trucks.  We've got all this, our picks and more in episode #487 of the SMRpodcast.
