I would be interested in knowing how many lawyers Dan Wang has on retainer.

At 4p ET/1p PT, I’ll have a one of a kind interview with Joaquin Oliver. He died in the Parkland school shooting. But his parents have created an AI version of their son for a powerful message on gun violence. Plus TX Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social - see you soon on Substack and later on YouTube.

Now if they start using cane sugar in Coke Zero and charge $2/can for that that could be a problem for me.

They have it in Arkansas and it’s called Mexican Coke, but it costs $2/bottle which isn’t a big deal because I only drink 1-2/month.

Cane sugar Coke has been available in the US for awhile now. It's sold for religious reasons in some regions, mainly Florida as I recall off the top of my head.
And in California it's called 'Mexican coke' because Mexico's coke is ...pure cane sugar.

Where are these people shopping? I can think of 3 stores that say something close to this (“Welcome to Cold Stone/Five Guys/Moe’s!”), but I don’t think I’ve ever been greeted with “Welcome in!” But then again I probably wouldn’t have been bugged by it so I might not have noticed.
The greeting “welcome in” has taken over retail stores and restaurants, and Americans are wondering why. The WSJ investigates.

The American carceral system is simply not prepared for an entire generation of prisoners who’ve seen Shawshank Redemption on TBS 500 times.

I could’ve made a lot of money on this but Bezos folded so fast that Polymarket didn’t have time to set up a bet for it.
Bezos will fold on this. 100% chance.
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

It’s almost like Elon has two interests. And it’s almost like those two interests are in conflict. I wonder if we could come up with a phrase that captures this concept.
FOX: Elon Musk took a shot on you on X and he's going against the administration with respect to tariffs. Is there a rift?
PETER NAVARRO: Look, Elon when he's in his DOGE lane is great, but we understand what's going on here. Elon sells cars. He's simply protecting his own interests.

Imagine if right as Beanie Babies were starting to crash, the government decided to create a "Beanie Babies Reserve" and bought up a bunch of Beanie Babies, thus increasing the price.
