Think the layoffs at Facebook/Meta offers a great opportunity for a social science study. Track those 11,000 who were laid off and measure for post layoff happiness and success metrics. My guess would be that the further people move from Silicon Valley and the less "woke" they become the happier and more successful they will be post Facebook/Meta. Those who stay woke or in San Fran will probably top the misery index... The number of advertisements for Steven Spielberg's new movie The Fabelmans gives me the strong suspicion that the movie must suck,,, California and New York say they are going to outlaw gas powered automobiles by 2035. Good luck with that. How are gas stations going to stay in business? Great way to kill both the trucking and tourism industries. Who's going to drive to visit either state if they're going to have to play Where's Waldo to find a gas station that hasn't closed because of lack of business and government interference?.. Smashed in Nashville would be a good name for a band... Historical nugget that may only interest me - Dwight Eisenhower, the man who famously warned us about the "Military Industrial Complex" was also the man who turned down the Chairmanship of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1949 because the Defense Budget was just $12.3 billion while he wanted $14.1 billion... Elon Musk seems genuinely worried about the survival of Twitter due to the economic downturn and a drop in advertising revenue. The solution to his problem the way I see it is simple - Ford has an advertising budget of almost $2 billion while Tesla doesn't advertise. Just ask the Tesla CEO to advertise exclusively on Twitter at half of Ford's budget and problem solved... Truth Debugger would be a good name for a blog or Substack account... Basically Jeff Saturday is the NFL equivalent of ML Carr for the Boston Celtics back when they were trying to tank to get Tim Duncan... The cynic in me thinks the reason the counting of all votes in this country takes so damn long is simply to enable both parties to continue to fundraise for a couple of extra weeks. Look at your spam email these past few days after the election and tell me I'm wrong...
