Earlier this week, we had the pleasure of tabling a @ChiPubSchools Skilled Trades event at the Carpenters Union Hall. We're grateful to our partners for the opportunity to engage with students seeking careers in the trades and provide resources to help them along the way.

Sadly, there's another tough situation for another Chicago Fireman. I've heard nothing but great things about Dan and his family could really use our support. Please help if you're able to here:

@artofram1 @Iberian_America Mexico city actually had a rather large protest a couple of weeks ago with taxis blocking the highways near the airport. I spoke to an Uber driver who said the airport was towing Ubers at pickup.

English

@Iberian_America It is known in Mexico that taxi drivers are part of a mafia and they've been trying to push Uber and other transport platforms out of Mexico so they can charge whatever they want for rides and government supports this.
They will not even allow Uber drivers near airports!

Taxi drivers in Mexico City are always kinda funny 🇲🇽
Tonight I had some sirloin tacos
When I was ready to go home at around 10 PM, I checked prices on Uber 💰
For a 10 minute ride, the price was 47 pesos
Out of curiosity, I asked a taxi driver I saw parked across the street 🚖
It wasn't a busy street. Very little foot traffic. Few other clients for the guy
But it's also night time so I get prices are higher 🌙
I ask him "how much would it be to take me home?"
I know also they have those little machines that most taxis use but in my experience taxi drivers don't like using those at night in CDMX lol
And you never know if it's rigged or not
So what was the price?
He quoted me 300 pesos lmao 🤑
For a 10 minute ride
I thought to myself "what do I look like an ATM to you?" 🙄
"Ah ok gracias" I said
Got an Uber in 5 minutes. 47 pesos
The Uber driver parked some feet ahead of the taxi
He saw me enter
Uber eating his lunch because the fella was too greedy 😏
It ain't no mystery why taxi drivers hate Uber in Mexico City
They can't get away with their BS negotiations and pricing
Uber has definitely been a major plus to life in the Third World 💯

@SubxNews He's absolutely right. The rollout of protected bike lanes from the city has been a complete disaster. It feels like the city just gave up.

The @cta leadership is just so bad at running a transit system.
I could provide a list of today specific particulars to back that up but what’s the point. We are in almost our third straight year of dirty, delayed, and disinterested service at this point.

You’ve probably heard a lot about tariffs in the news recently. But what exactly are they? And what are the underlying mechanics that drive how they work?
As a global macro investor for the last 55 years, I have studied a lot of history because the past can teach us a lot about the present. History shows us how tariffs often lead to fighting between countries. And while it might not be military-based, where there is conflict, there will be consequences.
I dive into this in my new article below. I’m sharing it with you all because if we agree about the underlying facts and how events are likely to unfold, it will be easier to figure out what we should do about it.
