@StructSkeptic @rawsalerts It's systematic failure for profit

@rawsalerts Why does everything in the United States seem to be broken? Problems everywhere. Is this an actual systemic meltdown or just another glitch?

🚨#BREAKING: Delta Air Lines are now mysteriously canceling hundreds of flights nationwide citing crew restrictions. The disruptions come just as Spirit Airlines has officially shut down, adding further stress and uncertainty across the U.S. travel system.

Hey @DJIGlobal Can you tell me why when I go to use your DJI Mimo app, it does not work while using a DJI wireless microphone and a DJI gimbal. You would think being from the same company they would work, but as you can see from the screen recording nothing works

I’d sit this one out Temu Obama. h/t: @JeremyRedfernFL

@Polymarket If there's a blockade, why are ships passing through the strait? You can literally see it on Marine traffic

12% chance Trump lifts the blockade by the end of the month. polymarket.com/event/trump-an…

JUST IN: Trump reveals Iran told him it is in a “state of collapse” and wants the Strait of Hormuz reopened.

Had drinks with a guy in Miami who's bought 11 ecom brands in the last 4 years. I asked him what kills a multiple at the negotiating table. He said three things, every time. One — customer concentration. If 40% of your revenue comes from one channel (especially Meta), buyers discount the multiple by 30-50%. Two — founder dependency. If the operation runs through your head and not through documented SOPs, you're not selling a business. You're selling a job. Three — refund rate hidden in the LTV. If you've juiced your CAC numbers by counting refund customers as acquired, sophisticated buyers will catch it in due diligence and walk. He told me 80% of the brands he passes on fail at least one of these three. The 20% that pass all three are the ones he pays 5x EBITDA for. The brands that exit at premium multiples aren't the most exciting ones. They're the most boring, documented, and diversified ones — the kind a buyer can run without the founder in the room from day one.

I am a senior coordinating producer for the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. I have worked eleven of these. I was backstage at the Washington Hilton when the shots were fired. The first thing I heard was not the gunfire. It was glass. A champagne flute hit the floor of the International Ballroom at approximately 9:47 PM. Then a second. Then the sound that I have since been told was a 12-gauge shotgun, which from inside the ballroom sounded like a heavy door slamming in a parking garage. Then the Secret Service moved. They moved the President, the Vice President, the First Lady through the east corridor in under ninety seconds, which is protocol, which is practiced, which is the one part of the evening that worked exactly as it was designed. Everything else was improvised. I know this because I ordered the wine. 94 tables. Two bottles per table. 188 bottles of a Willamette Valley pinot noir that the Association selected in February after a tasting committee spent three meetings debating between Oregon and Burgundy. Oregon won. The budget was $14,200. I signed the invoice. I can tell you the vintage. I can tell you the distributor. I can tell you the per-bottle cost because I negotiated it down from $89 to $76. What I cannot tell you is how 147 of those bottles left the building during an active shooter evacuation. I can tell you what I saw. A correspondent from a network I will not name picked up two bottles on her way to the east exit. Full bottles. One in each hand. She was wearing heels and she did not spill. A man in a tuxedo tucked one inside his jacket the way you'd shoplift a paperback at an airport bookstore. A woman picked up a bottle, looked at the label, put it back, and took a different one. She checked the vintage. During an evacuation. That's editorial judgment under pressure. The theme of the dinner was "A Free Press for a Free People." The banners were still hanging when the evacuation began. I know because I hung them. Twenty-three banners, navy blue, gold serif lettering, $11,400 for the set. They were still hanging when 2,600 guests were directed to the exits by Secret Service agents, one of whom had just taken a shotgun round in his ballistic vest and walked to the ambulance on his own feet. The agent's vest costs approximately $800. The wine that left the building was worth $11,172 at Association cost. At restaurant markup, roughly $29,000. The guests saved more in wine than the vest that saved the agent. That's priority. The video went viral by 10:15 PM. Not the video of the evacuation. Not the Secret Service response. The wine. Three guests in formalwear grabbing bottles off white tablecloths while being told to move toward the exits, while a man with a shotgun stood in the same motor entrance where John Hinckley shot Ronald Reagan 45 years ago. A woman near the service entrance was crying. She said "I just wanna go home." She was not holding wine. She was holding her phone. She was the only person I saw that night who looked afraid rather than inconvenienced. That's the distinction. The rest of the ballroom did not look afraid. They looked interrupted. An active shooter at the WHCD is a logistical problem. The dinner was disrupted. The timeline was off. The after-party at the French Ambassador's residence would need to be rescheduled. These are contingency matters. Contingency matters have solutions. Fear is for people who attend events without security details. I have produced eleven of these dinners. I have managed seating charts that require diplomatic-grade negotiations. I have handled comedians, cabinet secretaries, network anchors, and the editor of a major newspaper who once threatened to leave because his table was behind a column. I have never, in eleven years, seen a guest leave a $76 bottle on the table during an evacuation. I have also never seen a guest check the label first. Both observations are consistent. The bottle is worth taking. The evacuation is worth surviving. The instinct is to do both simultaneously. 188 bottles placed. 41 recovered. 147 unaccounted for. One agent shot. Zero guests injured. Zero bottles broken. A free press for a free people. The press is free. The wine was $76 a bottle. They took it anyway.

@DJSnM @SpaceX So the Tesla that was launched into space is faster than every other Tesla on Earth?

I like how they have to say ‘on the planet’ after @SpaceX launched a Tesla into deep space.

@EricLDaugh By the same logic, that means every golf course is now going to have a ballroom?

🚨 PRESIDENT TRUMP: “By the way, other presidents will use the ballroom a lot more than me…I’m only going to have 4 or 5 months left when it’s finished.” He’s doing this mostly for the safety of FUTURE presidents — including Dems!

BREAKING: 🇺🇸🇮🇱 Israelis do not pay for the weapons "we sell them," rather American taxpayers pay for them - Quincy Institute Most US arms "sales" to Israel are conducted through the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program. This aid is like a gift card for purchasing weapons. What appears to be an arms sale is in practice funded by American taxpayers.

@MAGAVoice This post didn't go over well did it. Almost like this whole thing was planned....

🚨 JUST NOW: Karoline Leavitt calls on everyone to watch tonight because Donald Trump will bring the heat and there will be “shots fired” LET’S FREAKING GO 🔥

AI is the digital industrial revolution Then, manual labor was automated. Now, digital labor/systems are being automated

@ScottDubU @FLVoiceNews @SecRollins Aren't you just as stupid as a box of rocks....dumbass

@FLVoiceNews @SecRollins Maybe someday they can get a job and just buy their own shit.

New SNAP restrictions are now in effect in Florida: soda, candy, energy drinks, and ultra-processed desserts can no longer be purchased with benefits @SecRollins calls it a “bold, historic step." flvoicenews.com/florida-bans-s…

@WarrenVsCCP @GregWAutry Looks like this happened decades ago.

Real video of Tiananmen Square on June 4th. After watching it, you will no longer believe the CCP's lies! Apart from the People's Liberation Army of China 🇨🇳, no other country's army in the world would drive a column of tanks into the square of its capital and open fire on its thousands of college students.

@CNBC Is there a package being discussed for the 60% of Americans who are struggling to live?

The Trump administration is in advanced talks for a financing package for Spirit Airlines as the carrier is facing the risk of a liquidation, according to a person familiar with the matter. Full details: cnb.cx/3QmQCtf

Liftoff!
