I hear what you guys are saying about the Oscars, and how they're a celebration of life, and the show must go on, blah-blah-blah, so-on-and-so-forth. It all makes a degree of sense, but to me it still feels like Nero fiddling while Rome burns. Or in this case, wearing fancy clothes while LA burns.

TikTok's inroads with Trump may be the gambit that helps the co (1) avoid complying with a new law forcing its sale to a non-Chinese company (2) avoid a ban on Jan 19

I was skeptical about the College Football Payoff process…and now I thinks it was a very wise move! No more lose one game early in the season and there’s nothing left to play or root for.

Goldman Sachs asks in biotech research report: 'Is curing patients a sustainable business model?' Goldman Sachs warns sales from the most successful disease treatments are difficult to maintain.

I can hardly think of a better example of the moral decay in modern health care than a Goldman analyst noting that biotech cures for diseases like hepatitis are cool and all, until their success diminishes the business opportunity for pharmaceutical manufacturers.
