I wish I could do over my 30s. I feel like I’m hustling harder than I needed to if I had made better decisions.

News articles are saying Elio is a flop because it’s an original story. It just doesn’t seem compelling to me. It may be great, but it just doesn’t seem like a world I’m interested in. And Pixar needs to move on from that animation-style.

You Can’t Dictate the World. You Have to Persuade It.

To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs
That means empty shelves, an economic slowdown, and layoffs, actually.

I’d love to start a restaurant pop-up that only serves the 4 Roman pastas, kale salad, focaccia, and tiramisu for dessert. Along with Italian wines. Reservation only and you have to order when you reserve.
