Good call!

🚨 This 'trade war' will be over soon!

Why? Simple. Just follow the money.

A substantial percentage of most US retailers' products, especially on the more affordable end, are sourced in China.

Walmart is a great example, being the largest of them all and also sourcing a disproportionate amount from China.

Both sides will ultimately settle and settle soon. Not at zero but at a reasonable tariff which, from the perspective of the US, is also justified considering the various trade obstacles China has put in place.

In return, China will help with Russia and avoid domestic tensions from weaker manufacturing. Never forget: the one thing a 'communist' government cannot afford is social unrest.

So, don't get too obsessed with the current trade skirmish and focus on the bigger picture.

And enjoy the sunshine... - Marco Pabst

Waymo's Approach to Self-Driving: Building the World's Greatest Driver

As Waymo gears up to start testing in NYC, here is Co-CEO Tekedra Mawakana explaining their "One Driver" approach at last year's All-In Summit:

" We drive in a week more than a human drives in a lifetime."

"You can say that as a company that runs fleets, but we're the only company where it's one driver."

"That's not the way the world is organized right now."

"Everyone has a lot of drivers, and all of those drivers have different capabilities."

"This is one driver learning all the time in unison."

"What can we demonstrate that's possible?"

"What are policy makers five years from now really going to want to know and how will they be able to derive from what we're doing today?"

Recorded at the 2024 All-In Summit
