I always asked myself if I was beating a dead horse. And usually, after time, I realized the lack of interest had more to do with changes in the industry -- this included in person pitches.

When Schumer came out of his first meeting with Trump years ago - I guess that was 2017 -- he was beaming and said to some reporters, "He really likes me." I knew even then that he was blind.

The 11th milestone for his 50B "bonus" was based on was a market cap of $600B. With Goldman predicting a 400B market cap, it seems like a long shot that he will ever get that bonus. Tsla once had a market cap of 1.2 trillion. Maybe have another shareholder vote.

My favorite quote from the Vico (circa 1725) "Men first feel necessity, then look for utility, next attend to comfort, still later amuse themselves with pleasure, thence grow dissolute in luxury, and finally go mad and waste their substance."

After all, the South African Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) party is sometimes referred to as the successful Nazis. These are the people Trump is welcoming to the U.S. as refugees from those oppressive blacks.

I think Arrival was more about the unfamiliar and political getting caught up and trapped by an alien "invasion." This time, it's the familiar and religious zealotry attacking us using South African aliens (Musk, Thiel and David Sacks).
