Companies should produce locally to the extent possible within their borders. That builds know-how locally a major factor of econ growth.

It turns out manufacturing PMI (below) is a good indicator, so use it. This is a fulcrum point. This ain't school where student is expected to cover all bases going through some list defined by others. This is a hunt where one tries to get an advantage. Science too is very much conducted this way.

To all leaders who "ran against the establishment" and are in their respective posts: none of you motherfuckers would be where you are today if Snowden, Greenwald, Assange did not let out some of the secrets of that establishment, and ppl like them, so albeit in a small way you owe your post to them. Let's not be ungrateful.


Battery swapping instead of waiting for recharge (bcz bitch BEV charging is incredibly slow) is an obscenely bad idea. Now instead of N batteries, market needs N + N batteries, half of them unused at any one time, placing extra strain on the environment (more lithium, cobalt mining). Standardization wld be pain, Mercedes bats need to be same as Toyota bats etc.

Clean chemical fuel is inherentely standardized - it is fuel, it is simple, carrying lots of energy.

The vision for peace is not my #1 preference but at least the map looks less patchy than some of the earlier plans.

But if Israel wants Jordan Valley to cut Pals off from possible influence coming from Jordan, the optics of the proposed scheme is bad. It looks like giving ppl a semblance of a state and kind of put them in a desert island. Their only allies can be Egypt.

Isn't Jordan kind of an Israeli protectorate anyway? What kind of threat could come from there?

By trying to prepare every kind of threat, Pal state is isolated unnecessarily.

"It's been a long, long time since there's been legitimate price discovery in the markets. At the end of the day, when you look at even equities, equities are ultimately the derivative of the credit markets. They're just the thing at the bottom of the capital stack. Over time, people compare dividend yield on stocks with yields on debt.

That entire structure has been distorted by monetary authorities effectively underpricing the front end of the term structure of risk reward."

Out of the three, GF might have had the better deal. Great career, beat Frazier, lost to Ali, both decisively. On a talk show later on with the other two, he was still in form, chipper, all marbles there. Ali was gone. He could barely speak.


Ah - Ali was Mellow Meadow. Overdid the fighting. He could have said "Fraz, u got beaten by the guy I beat, see ya". Leave it at 1-1 with a tilt towards him.


It's true the 3rd Ali-Frazier fight took too much out of them ("we went to Manilla as champs, came back as old men"). Some style pairings are a natural tie. No need to push it. Foreman beats Frazier, Ali beats Foreman, then Ali has trouble with Frazier. The calculus is out of whack. Leave it at that. I bet Ali's Parkinsons had something to do with that last fight

Fin shows constantly talk about stocks bcz these are names that are familiar to most people. SBUX, AMZN - "oh well, I just had coffee at Starbucks and shopped from Amazon". But the futures market, the curency market, the bond market are all much larger than the equities market (stocks). Right off the bat we see fin shows are not there to inform, but to entertain and to pander. If they talked about Eurodollar futures, then u have to do a song and dance abt what that is, blah blah.. then the viewer checked out dude! The ratings are down. Bummer. Back to stocks.
