@Sigalow Separately, TIL (from this article) that Southwest is changing to assigned seating. Not sure how I feel about that one!

I am not surprised that 28 passengers faked a disability to pre-board a Southwest flight. I am surprised it was *only* 28 passengers. It proves that Americans are generally good people, because in other countries the entire plane would use this scam. viewfromthewing.com/only-in-florid…

@MieleUSA @amandanat @businessbarista No dust around here! Now I wouldn't be a deal guy if I didn't suggest some business between you and @businessbarista I see a multi-platform marketing partnership! Get him to Opelika to make videos about building manufacturing in the USA. (Also, he can afford the vacuum.)

I need to make a very important decision. Vacuum. I need to buy one. But it seems like every cordless vacuum sucks. What should I buy?

@businessbarista Miele canister vacuum. I think this is the one I have. HEPA filter (picks up more dust and allergens), great on carpet, and because it’s not an upright vacuum with belt, nothing gets caught on it.

@brooke @Delta Why do they put the LA flights so far away...has to be fewer people connecting from those. But always gate 38 and three quarters of a mile walking!

The @Delta terminal at JFK should tell people to get there four hours before their flight so they can walk the 40 miles to whatever gate they’re flying out of…

🇺🇸 needs to get its fiscal house in order. This isn’t a political statement. It’s a matter of math. Inflation and wars are hurting the cause. The biggest and fairest swing we can take: 1. Eliminate social security for folks who don’t need it (pick a generous salary threshold) 2. Push out social security to 70 years old for folks born after 1970

Stayed off this platform in the aftermath of these horrific acts of terrorism and base, vicious evil. But I'm on today to register my voice in support of Israel and in support of all innocent civilians who are the victims of extremism. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱

@rsreplogle @chamath Or, in the case of Target, a profit-seeking corporation saw that 7% of Americans identify as LGBT and thought, hmm, that's a ton of people, let's sell them some clothes. And then a bunch of anti-LGBT folks vandalized displays and made an issue.

@chamath I think the most correct (and simplest) explanation is that management of these companies conflated trend pieces in the NY Times with actual social preferences (thinking "tuck-friendly" swimsuits = $$$). This did not translate to Target's consumer base, who are just regular ppl.

Imagine you own 1% of Apple. What this means, in its most basic sense, is that by putting up 1% of the capital, you own 1% of all of their current and future profits. That is a fair exchange and it’s well understood. But if instead, after your money was invested, their goals changed and you didn’t own 1% of their maximum profits any more but rather 1% of some lesser profit (or, even worse, no profit at all) along with a 1% share of Apple’s efforts on student debt reform or the Russia-Ukraine war, you may be confused and think this wasn’t what you signed up for. Replace Apple with Target, and student debt reform/Russia-Ukraine with Gay Pride Month and the customer and shareholder reaction from Target is below. Target’s billions of revenue loss and market cap losses add to the tens of billions of dollars already lost by Disney and Bud because of a similar market and customer reaction. Why is this happening? Do customers and shareholders not care about social issues? The message being delivered by customers and shareholders to public companies seems to be that they do not want companies to take social positions. They want companies to exist to maximize value for customers and maximize profits for shareholders. So who is pushing for companies to take positions on politics and social issues if not customers and shareholders? Employees? A non obvious conclusion that these customers and shareholders may see and companies and employees may not yet is that other organizational models exist (foundations, non-profits, B-corps) to take more effective stands on political and social issues than a C-corp. And if a company can maximize their enterprise value, it can also enrich employees who can then funnel more of their money than they could otherwise into these causes as they saw fit. A separate implication of this is that customers and shareholders seem to not want companies to be Swiss Army knives and do everything. They want specialists who are very good at one thing. Boards and CEOs are probably formulating their all company emails now…

@chamath Another perspective is that Target and Bud want to sell to every buyer. And they were targeting their marketing and merchandising efforts. Culture warriors took offense and made it an issue. Your notion that the $60B company is the instigator is misplaced at best.

@gregmaffei It's really the most fundamental part of our democracy. Always a drag to get the notice, but nothing makes me more proud to be an American.

Today I was called to jury duty in an attempted murder trial. While I’m not unhappy that I was eventually dismissed, it was heartening to watch democracy and our justice system in action. I was so impressed with the seriousness and care each citizen gave to the task. #USA
