BREW WITH MASSIVE HEADLINES

MARKETS Nasdaq 14,780.53 +0.13% S&P 4,402.66 -0.46% Dow 34,792.67 -0.92% Bitcoin $39,799.31 +0.31% 10-Year 1.197% +1.3 bps GM $52.72 -8.91% *Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 9:00pm ET. Here's what these numbers mean. Markets: Stocks fell as a report on private sector jobs came in weaker than expected (the much broader jobs report for July hits Friday). GM stock took a hit after whiffing on earnings, though it did introduce two new zero-emission vehicles to its portfolio.   Covid: The head of the WHO asked countries to stop administering booster shots until the end of September earliest to allow for lower-income countries to get their populations vaccinated. The known global caseload for Covid-19 passed 200 million people yesterday.

STOCKS A Meme Stock Is Born The trading app Robinhood is known for powering the rise of so-called meme stocks—such as GameStop and AMC—that skyrocketed earlier this year, not necessarily because of business fundamentals, but because social media users found them to be amusing. Even before its IPO last week, investors were wondering: Will Robinhood itself be a meme stock?  So far, the answer appears to be yes. After taking a dip on its first day of trading, Robinhood’s stock has shot up 100% this week, including a 50% gain yesterday. Trading was so vociferous that the stock had to be halted several times yesterday morning for Wall Street to catch its breath.  Are retail investors behind the surge?  For the second time in this story, the answer appears to be yes. Here’s some evidence: Total retail volume for Robinhood increased about 10x on Tuesday from the previous day. Robinhood was the No. 1 stock mentioned on Reddit’s WallStreetBets forum, and was also the most traded stock on Fidelity. Buy orders for Robinhood have nearly doubled those for another meme stock, AMC. Another factor: This week, traders could start placing options on Robinhood’s stock, which allows investors to speculate on whether a stock will go up or down rather than buying actual equity in the company. Increased options activity has been a hallmark of meme stock mania, and accounted for 46% of Robinhood’s revenue in 2020. There might be some method to the madness: Cathie Wood’s investment firm ARK Invest, which has placed bullish bets on Tesla and other high-growth tech companies, increased its position in Robinhood on Tuesday. Analysts think retail traders could be taking their cue from their stock oracle, Cathie.   Bottom line: Robinhood will ride or die with individual traders...in more ways than one.

COVID Covid Sidesteps Parental Controls Last week, almost 72,000 children under the age of 18 were infected with Covid-19, an 84% jump from the previous week, per the American Academy of Pediatrics. As kids head back to school to learn whatever the newest kind of division is, everyone from the Arkansas governor to pediatric experts is worried about keeping them safe. Here’s what we know about kids and the virus: Roughly 10.9 million of the 25 million US children aged 12–17 have been at least partially vaccinated, per the CDC. Kids under the age of 12 are not yet eligible for any of the vaccines authorized in the US. Current trials for young kids won’t finish up until late fall, well after school has started. Some states, like Florida, have reported a surge in serious cases among younger patients. But severe illness from Covid is still pretty rare among children, making up about 1.3%–3.5% of hospitalizations during the pandemic. Looking ahead...Dr. Fauci said that by Q1 2022 we’ll have enough data to begin vaccinating kids of all ages.

GIG ECONOMY Uber, Lyft Bring a Little Cali to Massachusetts We’re talking labor fights, not tacos, unfortunately. A coalition of gig economy companies including Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, and Instacart filed a ballot proposal that would keep their drivers classified as “independent contractors” rather than “employees.” That means gig workers in MA wouldn’t be entitled to minimum wage, overtime, paid sick days, and other standard employee benefits. However, the proposal fills in some of those gaps, promising pre-tip rates of $18 per hour, earned sick days, and more. Opponents don't think extra toppings make up for sub-par froyo. “It’s going to take away [gig companies’] responsibilities under Massachusetts law and substitute these fake benefits,” labor attorney Shannon Liss-Riordan told the NYT. This is basically a rerun of The OC Gig economies backed a similar measure, Prop 22, in California last year. It passed after the companies spent more than $205 million promoting it—a record sum for a California ballot measure. Looking ahead...Big Gig has set up lobbying groups in five additional states in the last few months to challenge worker reclassification attempts that threaten their business models.

SPORTS She’s a Runner, She’s a Track World Record Holder Gallo Images/Getty Images Olympic track stars are running like they’re members of the Cullen family, shattering world records in Tokyo this week. Both the men’s and women’s 400m hurdles are considered among the best races ever run. So is it the track? It’s definitely bouncy. Mondo, the track maker, took three years to develop it and finished installing the $1.5 million semi-vulcanized masterpiece in November 2019. The track mimics the shock absorption of a trampoline, and running on it has been described by US sprinter Ronnie Baker as “like I’m walking on clouds.” Speaking of clouds: Some runners are lacing up their controversial Nike “super spikes,” a super light shoe containing super responsive foam. Karsten Warholm, the Norwegian gold medalist and record holder in men’s 400m hurdles, called BS when his opponent Rai Benjamin of the US, who received silver and also broke the previous world record, used the shoes this week. Bottom line: While the Olympics represent the best of the best, the athletes are running on the right track at the right time with the right shoes.

1 big thing: Inside a Kamala Harris crisis dinner

A group of the Democratic Party's most influential women met for dinner at a home in the nation’s capital last month to game out how to defend Vice President Kamala Harris and her chief of staff, Tina Flournoy, against a torrent of bad press, Jonathan Swan reports. Why it matters: It's telling that so early in the Biden-Harris administration, such powerful operatives felt compelled to try to right the vice president's ship. The host was Kiki McLean, a Democratic public affairs expert and former adviser to both Clintons. Her guests included Harris confidant Minyon Moore; two former DNC officials, Donna Brazile and Leah Daughtry; Biden adviser and leader of his outside group, Stephanie Cutter; former Hillary Clinton spokeswomen and Democratic strategists Adrienne Elrod and Karen Finney; and former Obama White House communications director Jennifer Palmieri. Nobody from the vice president's office was at the dinner, but Harris is attuned to her outside network of supporters. Harris' office declined to comment on the dinner. These were old friends getting together for the first time since the pandemic began, and celebrating a Democratic president after the Trump years. But the dinner had an urgent purpose.  Harris had been hit with a series of press accounts describing rampant dysfunction in her office. A person familiar with the dinner said the point was "how can this group be supportive from the outside" and ensure her team was "making the most of this moment — as the first woman of color in the White House." The women discussed how they could leverage Harris' record as a prosecutor, California attorney general and U.S. senator to blunt criticisms of her performance as vice president. Another source familiar with the dinner said attendees saw sexist overtones to the Harris coverage, and discussed how they could "make sure the press knows this." "Many of us lived through the Clinton campaign, and want to help curb some of the gendered dynamics in press coverage that impacted HRC," this source said. "It was like: 'We’ve seen this before.'"

2. Charted: Jobs that are still gone

Data: BLS. Chart: Sara Wise/Axios A lot of industries have permanently lost jobs during the pandemic, while very few have gained, Sam Ro writes in Axios Markets. Total employment will eventually recover to its pre-pandemic level — Wells Fargo senior economist Sarah House sees that happening in late 2022 or early 2023. But the headline unemployment rate might never get back down to the 3.5% we saw pre-pandemic. Share this story.

3. Wealthy people are renouncing U.S. citizenship

Reproduced from Andrew Mitchel LLC. Chart: Axios Visuals The number of Americans who renounced their citizenship in favor of a foreign country hit an all-time high in 2020: 6,707, a 237% increase over 2019, Axios' Jennifer A. Kingson reports. While the numbers are down this year, that could be because many U.S. embassies and consulates remain closed for COVID. Taking this grave step requires taking an oath in front of a State Department officer. Why it matters: The people who flee tend to be the ultra-wealthy, seeking to reduce their taxes. New tax and estate measures proposed by President Biden could, if implemented, accelerate this trend. Context: Only the U.S. and Eritrea tax people based on citizenship rather than residency. For most countries, if you are a citizen but don’t reside there, you aren’t taxed in that country. What's happening: The IRS publishes a quarterly list of the names of people who have renounced their citizenship or given up their green cards, but it only includes people with global assets over $2 million. The numbers started swelling in 2010, when Congress passed the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, which increased reporting requirements and penalties for expats. The Wall Street Journal discovered that the lists aren't up to date: A lot of people who were reported to have renounced citizenship in 2020 actually did so years earlier. David Lesperance, an international tax lawyer based in Poland who specializes in helping people renounce U.S. citizenship, says: "There are probably 20,000 or 30,000 people who want to do this, but they can’t get the appointment." "It's a year and a half to get an appointment at a Canadian embassy ... Bern [Switzerland] alone has a backlog of over 300 cases." What we're watching: Biden's proposal to raise the top capital gains rate to 43.4% prompted a lot of calls to Lesperance from people wanting to find out which foreign countries might grant them citizenship.

5. Why vax passports may never be a thing

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios

Several practical and technological hurdles stand in the way of widespread vaccine passports, Axios health care editor Tina Reed writes. Why it matters: COVID vaccine mandates are quickly gaining steam, reviving interest in an easy, electronic way for people to verify that they're vaccinated. But that technology is still far from perfect. What's happening: New York City, the first U.S. city to impose a vaccine requirement for many indoor businesses, will accept Excelsior Pass, an app developed for New York state, to verify people's vaccine status. Plenty of glitches have been reported with the Excelsior app, preventing people from verifying their status. Some experts fear that vaccine passports would provide a false sense of security to the vaccinated, particularly as new variants emerge. The bottom line: We may have to stick with the CDC's (poorly sized) paper cards to prove we're vaccinated. Share this story.

6. One of the worst depressions in 150 years

Both the N.Y. Times and Wall Street Journal have front-pagers today saying Lebanon, a year after the ammonium nitrate blast in Beirut, is enduring one of the world's 10 worst financial collapses since the mid-1800s. What does that look like? With hyperinflation topping 400%, brawls "have erupted in supermarkets as shoppers rush to buy bread, sugar, and cooking oil," The Journal reports (subscription). I went down the rabbit hole, and it turns out the World Bank has a list of the world's worst systemic banking crises, going back to 1857. America's Great Depression, 1929-33, is No. 14. Lebanon today would be top 10 or even top 3. Go deeper: Chart of the world's 25 worst economic crises, 1857-2013.

7. Behind the scenes: Joe Biden calling

President Biden nominated Mark Brzezinski — a former U.S. ambassador to Sweden, and son of Zbigniew Brzezinski, national security adviser for President Jimmy Carter — as ambassador to Poland. Biden called his sister, Mika Brzezinski of "Morning Joe," to congratulate her. According to a person familiar with the call, Biden said: "I'm trying to give your brother Poland. What's his number, Mika?" Zbigniew Brzezinski was a Warsaw native who championed freedom for the Polish people. The historian Michael Beschloss tweeted this entry from the 1949 yearbook of McGill University in Canada:

8. Ben Shapiro helps spark Politico union drive

The online conservative powerhouse, whose "The Authoritarian Moment" debuted yesterday on the N.Y. Times bestseller list, is unwittingly helping animate a drive in Politico's newsroom to unionize with the NewsGuild. Politico bosses faced an internal revolt in January after Shapiro was allowed to guest-author Playbook for a day. Pro-union staffers are pointing to the company's handling of the debacle. Union organizers have been conducting informational sessions with editorial teams and gathering signatures for a statement to management, Axios' Sara Fischer scooped. Politico spokesperson Brad Dayspring said publisher Robert Allbritton "understands that the decision to form a union is the choice of the newsroom employees who would be impacted by it, and POLITICO would respect the process and the majority decision of those employees."

9. Ina's Tokyo diary: Venturing into the city

Between table-tennis matches, I walked to Shinjuku rail station and checked out the Apple store and some local shops. At Bic Camera, an electronics chain and department store, I was able to get what my son most wanted — an authentic Japanese beyblade, the spinning attack tops popular with kids. Feeling brave, I decided to take a train the two stops back from Shinjuku. A nice man helped me find my way, so I gave him one of the Olympic pins I collected. A woman on the train asked where I was from. When I said San Francisco, she started singing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." She got a pin, too. Axios Olympics dashboard ...

1 big thing: Biden dreams big on electric

President Biden steps out of a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xE. Photo: Jim Watson/AFP

President Biden tossed out a Corvette joke at the White House this afternoon as he promoted a non-binding executive order setting a target of 50% zero-emission models for all new cars sold in 2030. "You see that sucker over there? 0 to 60 in 4.1 seconds — it's all electric!" Biden said, leaning in as he touted one of the models arrayed behind him on the South Lawn. "I tell ya what!" Biden joked that he has a commitment from GM CEO Mary Barra, who joined him: "When they make the first electric Corvette, I get to drive it. Right, Mary? You think I'm kiddin' — I'm not kiddin'! And my entire Secret Service detail went: 'Oh, my God.'" Why it matters: The White House offered the most complete picture yet of plans to cut transportation emissions and boost electric vehicles, Axios Generate author Ben Geman writes. Major automakers are on the same page. Ford, GM, VW, Chrysler maker Stellantis and others announced goals that 40–50% of their U.S. sales come from fully electric, fuel cell or plug-in hybrids by 2030. Reality check: EVs currently account for 2% of new car sales in the U.S. Between the lines: The carmakers said their commitment depends on getting federal funding for R&D, purchase incentives and an EV charging network.

2. Little League shrinks

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios

The Little League World Series regionals begin today, but the annual love affair with youth sports misses a massive trend: Little League participation has been dwindling for years, Axios Sports' Jeff Tracy writes. Participation has decreased by roughly 3% annually since peaking in the 1990s — part of a larger youth sports exodus. One of the biggest culprits is the rise of pay-to-play travel leagues, which price families out and discourage non-elite players from sticking with the sport. This isn't unique to baseball, but it perhaps stings even more with "America's pastime." Go deeper.
