If Chicago ICE raid was serious ie armed dangerous intl criminal orgs - why telegraph ahead of time that Chicago is a target??

The raided building was in foreclosure - unclear if anyone manages the property. Perfect for a video stunt / CoD fantasy for bullies - that terrorized little kids.

Presidents get too much credit when the American economy is strong & too much blame when it isn’t. But in the case of farmers who can’t sell crops, Trump clearly gets 100% of the blame. Rare when you can point to economic disaster in a sector directly attributable to a president.

is this a bellwether about the future of branding itself? Brands have proven to be magnets for negative perceptions...but what would replace them?

Bloomberg News @bloomberg.com · Dec 27

"You're seeing the middle disappear."

Customers are increasingly paying up for higher-end items or trading down to cheaper “private label” store brands, meaning products in between aren’t just losing out on price, they’re getting “outpremiumed,” too

Shoppers Are Ditching Classic Brands They Once Loved

Customers are either paying up for higher-end items from upstarts or trading down to cheaper “private label” ones

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Think about the last time you changed your mind on a significant issue. What allowed you to do that? You probably gained new information in a low-key, non-insulting, manner. It probably happened over time. This is how good convictions are formed.

Really good convo here: So, I do engage those I disagree with. 3 reasons: 1. I shed my old views because people were willing to help me see a different view. 2. I do find that people change their minds. 3. Its how change happens...Not doing it is (to me) a form of surrender.
