With Nicusor Dan ahead by almost 900,000 votes and a third of the diaspora vote in, I'm calling it.

I've seen enough: Nicusor Dan is the next President of Romania.

Exit polls suggest Mayor of Bucharest Nicusor Dan has defeated the right-wing extremist George Simion to become Romania’s next president, 55% to 45%. However, the exit polls don’t count the 1.6MM diaspora votes. This could go to the wire. Turnout was huge - 65 per cent - the largest since the 1990s.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not.

Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Looking at incoming vessels to the Port of Los Angeles (America's largest container port):

1.) This week we're still in frontrunning mode (57%+ YoY).

2.) Next week we're basically at normal (-8% YoY).

3.) Two weeks from now we're in The Bad Place (-44% YoY)

Investors are asking questions about whether they can trust the US that would have been *ridiculous* a few months ago. IDK how/whether Uncle Sam can get the trust back.
