This is a very important read.
"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..."

Great example of the extended economic cost of tariffs.
One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

A sign of intellect is the ability to change your mind in the face of new facts.

A mark of wisdom is refusing to let the fear of admitting you were wrong stop you from getting it right.

The joy of learning something new eventually exceeds the pain of unlearning something old.

🚨 Another vaccine myth goes DOWN!

A new JAMA study compared prevalence of sudden cardiac arrest in young athletes in the 3 years before & after the COVID-19 pandemic.

They found no difference.

Myocarditis was the cause of SCD in 3 cases before & 4 cases during the pandemic.
