Holiday Weekend Travel, IPO Market Openings, & an LGBTQ+ Community’s Golden Years 7/3/23

As thousands of holiday weekend travelers faced flight delays and cancellations, United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby boarded a private jet to keep his schedule on track. After facing backlash from frustrated passengers, he’s issued an apology. Hollywood SAG-AFTRA actors are in contract negotiations, temporarily postponing a potential strike. Plus, CNBC’s Phil LeBeau reports, Tesla has over delivered this quarter, and AI-generated fake news has placed SEC Chair Gary Gensler in the headlines. As we kick off the second half of the year, Nasdaq’s Head of Listings Karen Snow says, 2H might see a decent number of public market debuts–more, at least, than the last six months. Plus, in a special conversation exclusive to Squawk Pod, CNBC’s Senior Personal Finance Correspondent Sharon Epperson discusses the value of an ‘aging plan’ for legal and financial affairs particularly for members of the LGBTQ+ community. She recounts her visit to a 55+ LGBTQ cohousing community in North Carolina, and shares what her reporting revealed about aging with dignity.
