In this week’s Curve Weekly, Vic and Soph unpack the AI chip crisis and why soaring demand could mean pricier tech (no, not the potato kind), plus the recent market wobble and why it’s not a cue to panic. They dive into the ongoing Netflix vs Warner Bros vs Paramount drama, reveal the scary stat about people not knowing where their retirement fund is (and how that could cost up to $1 million long term), and explain why groceries in the Southern Hemisphere feel criminally expensive. Add in a quick emergency-fund reality check and the rise of burnout feminism: goodbye girlbossing, hello boundaries!
