Our place in Europe: what happened in February?
Brexit continues to bite, and the public mood is beginning to shift. Can the UK navigate the tsunami of world affairs from outside the EU?

If you’re Bezos and you see SpaceX getting rewarded because Musk is doing Trump favors, Bezos has the exact same incentive — play the game or Blue Origin falls behind.

Sometimes I’m reminded how tuned out of politics many Americans are. Today I was talking to a neighbor; she’d never heard of RFK Jr. Had no idea who he was, or who RFK Sr. was, either. Had never heard of THE WORM IN HIS BRAIN.
Trying to describe him and his gov’t role made me feel like a lunatic.
