"McDonald’s touchscreen kiosks were feared as job killers. Instead, something surprising happened" (CNN)

Kiosks haven't led to job losses because they help expand volume (including w/ upsell) and also because they often don't work

Masayoshi Son on Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates:

“These are one-business guys. I am involved in 100 businesses and I control the entire [tech] ecosystem ... The right comparison for me is Napoleon, Genghis Khan or Emperor Qin. I am not a CEO. I am building an empire" https://t.co/9bdaelbpz5

RT @HiddenValueGems: The latest Memo by @HowardMarksBook on the shortcomings of today's economic plans of the politicians. As someone who has experienced EM policies first-hand, I can attest to these points 👇🏽

➡️"In the world of politics, there can be limitless benefits and something for everyone. But in economics, there are only tradeoffs."

➡️"You can set prices for goods, but you can’t make people produce them."

➡️"Mandating lower prices is generally the least effective way to get them."

➡️"Governments can pass laws designed to encourage or even compel behavior, but in general they can’t mandate economic outcomes. There are so many moving pieces and second-order consequences that governments generally can’t engineer both prosperity and the specific economic outcomes that policymakers may seek."

Saying an investment idea is terrible on social media is like telling someone their wife/husband is a bad person

There is almost never any upside

Unless you short, the right response after establishing an idea is bad is to stop wasting time on it. So there's a good chance the other guy has more information or even "analysis" (but not a better understanding) than you

Don't engage promoters
