The Cars were one of the defining bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s. They had the hooks, the cool, the style, and that rare ability to sound sleek and sharp without losing the rock edge. Ric Ocasek and Ben Orr were a huge part of that magic, and with Elliot Easton, Greg Hawkes, and David Robinson, they built a sound that helped define new wave while still feeling timeless.
They could do catchy, they could do moody, they could do polished radio hits, and they could still sound effortlessly cool doing all of it. From the late ’70s into the MTV era, The Cars barely missed.

"Yogi Berra recalled how the Yankees:
Had a brushback thing going once with the Red Sox, with Jimmy Piersall coming up, after we knocked down one of their hitters.
Piersall had just come back from a mental institution and he turned around to me and said:
‘If this guy throws at me, I’ll wrap this bat around your neck.
I can get away with it.
I can plead temporary insanity.’
I just told Jimmy Piersall:
‘Look, boy, on this club we don’t knock down .250 hitters.'"
"Yogi Berra, troubled with a skin infection, wears white gloves to protect his hands as he warms up a pitcher, during baseball spring training"
With John Reed and Phil Linz, 1958.
"Yogi Berra's got so many good qualities, he ought to have a Good Housekeeping Seal on his butt".

11/ Health care incentives matter
One major critique:
Consumers of health care don’t see prices.
Without incentives at the consumption level, costs explode.
He argues reform must include incentives and honest cost allocation.
In 2021, Stanley Druckenmiller explained how he compounded at 30% for 30 years straight.
He broke down why:
- Winning isn’t about being right
- Markets reward puzzle-solvers
