They feed us poison (New content at 2 AM), so we buy their "cures" (excitement induced insomnia), while they suppress our medicine (sleeping at a reasonable hour).

Welcome back! Missed the smiles you and the crew brought to our faces.

Laura . . . 2AM? I went to bed just as the news dropped and couldn't sleep a wink.

By my count, this proposal repeals at least 5 major laws that grant the FTC anti-trust authority: The 1914 Trade Commission Act, Wheeler-Lee, Celler–Kefauver, Tunney, and the Hart–Scott–Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976. That's a lot of law we're eliminating in 18 pages!

As an economist I can say that we really do not have a comparable example this century of exactly what you described. Even the COVID crash was out of an exogenous necessity. . . this is a complete halt out of pure choice.

We're locked in a form of Stockholm Syndrome where market participants are trying to rationalize their way to utopia. Trump wants to end supply chains, he wants everything made in America. He said that. Anything else is denial.

Heard around $70/bbl is near the break-even point for drilling and operations in shale regions like the Permian Basin. A lot of these companies will have to shut down those well ops soon. They know the admin push for $50/bbl oil and "drill baby drill" are incompatible.

Have a safe and wonderful retirement! Thank you for the years of memories and all of the fun both on camera and on stage!

If I built my entire grift on imported coffee, tea, and cocoa I might be concerned about having none of those things in a few months.
