Just a reminder. There’s been no additional filing by US Steel (X) re the transaction with Nippon Steel. So, it’s still a merger with US Steel being acquired. All the other stuff being talked about is just stuff for now. www.sec.gov/Archives/edg...

As DOGE prepares to gut the Cartographic Section at the National Archive, here’s a map of Boston 1775. Unrecognizable. Btw, the DOGE project is an insane act of self-destruction.

I dunno. Once 🍊🤡 starts to think he can get a “golden share” as part of the merger approval process, I think we will have officially crossed into the brand new territory of quasi-state owned enterprises. Officially the end of small govt conservatism…
