Apparently The 28th is ‘National Privacy Day’ in the USA.
Marvy.
Speaks volumes to the other 364 days in the year.
I am guessing a ‘free for all’?
When your company is worth more than most nations, you cannot afford principles that inconvenience presidents. The moral equation changes. What once seemed unthinkable becomes necessary. Cook learned this the hard way after he skipped a presidential photo op and was thrown back under the tariff bus. So now he shows up. He sits in the front row. He claps when expected. This is what happens when valuation becomes destiny.

📺 The Last Frontier ★★★

First couple of episodes and - meh. Even so much as parked it for a looong while - until the other day …
… and thought to try Episode 3 and it got me. I thought it was only 6 episodes - so binged the next 3 and - I after the rollercoaster - a truly disappointing end. Or so I thought.
The ‘next episode’ invite came up - and the next night - followed through - assuming just another episode - have you noticed how odd numbers are appearing in episodes?
Long story short - TEN episodes - and the roller coaster of episodes 4 to 6 were nothing compare to 7 to 10.
It blurs - but I seem to recall that 8 and 9 were both more than satisfactory endings - but then ….
End of ten = END.
Except of course series 2 is definitely set up.

🔗 Americans are paying for tariffs
By analyzing $4 trillion of shipments between January 2024 and November 2025, the Kiel Institute researchers found that foreign exporters absorbed only about 4% of the burden of last year’s U.S. tariff increases by lowering their prices, while American consumers and importers absorbed 96%.

I have all the confidence in the world that President Trump has the legal authority, but more importantly, he’s doing the right thing.

I wonder what Michel would have made of the 2020s.
Here’s a clever thing that I noticed last night about 🍎📺 .. you watch and something critical was said - and you missed it. You wind back 10 - 20 seconds - it plays again .. with temporary subtitles - that then fade away - brilliant.
