GDP just dropped -0.3%. This is equal to $83B annualized or the GDP of Tanzania or the state of North Dakota.

Yup. We just lost North Dakota and no one blinked.

Alright alright alright.
Sources: Minnesota United have now completed the deal to sign Julian Gressel.

Deal via waivers. That process just finished.

Gressel to Minnesota, where he’s an excellent fit in Eric Ramsay’s system. Miami clears cap space.
Sources: Minnesota United finalizing deal to sign Julian Gressel from Inter Miami.

Breakthrough has been reached. If all goes smoothly here, Gressel heads to Loons.

Gressel fit in Ramsay system + providing service to Yeboah/Tani should be strong.

Miami open salary cap space.

I am a progressive capitalist.

I want the triple bottom line to work.

Louder for the people on the back.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Buddy. Once the switch is made they won’t come back. Ask the Midwest soy bean farmers who were usurped by Brazil.

I worked for a big commerce markeplace internal startup for a while.

This ama hits home. We created a business that went from 100MM a year to1.6B in the short years after the pandemic. I worked with many Mom and pop e comm companies. They will now bleed.

Trumps office reeks of management consulting type behavior.

1) acquire business
2) cut shit to the bone
3) show unsustainable profit for one quarter
4) sell business
5) walk away from business about to collapse while you count your dollar bills.
6) repeat
