NEW: It's now more lucrative to have a losing sports team than a championship team. We examined the Boston Red Sox to see how private equity and cost cutting invaded sports. In this era, teams want to sell good players for profit more than they want to have a good season.




SOCIALIST MAMDANI INTENDS TO NOT EVEN LET YOU REST IN PEACE WITH A 50% DEATH TAX WHEN YOU DIE Socialist Mamdani wants to reduce the estate tax exemption threshold to $750K from $7.1M and increase the confiscation rate to 50%. That would be the lowest threshold in the entire country.






I just got back from a 4 hour demo drive in a new Tesla Model Y Premium and I’m still kind of buzzing. I've watched the videos. I’ve read the stories. I thought I understood what FSD was. I did not, not even close! Because when you’re actually in it and you let it do its thing, it’s not a “cool feature.” It feels like you just stepped a few years into the future! I tried everything. FSD, regen braking, the acceleration, Summon, self parking, super charging and switching between driving and FSD on the fly. And man… FSD was the part that messed with my brain in the best way! It handled city streets like a pro! It rolled through parking lots, found spots, and self parked. It went right through construction zones with workers out there directing traffic with flags, and it just… did the right thing. Smooth, not sketchy at all! I kept waiting for the moment I’d have to grab the wheel and save it. I never had to take over! Didn't even have one moment where I felt like I might need to! Then the built in Grok planned a scenic route that was actually fun, not just “fastest route” boring. And while it was driving, I played with Grok in Assistant mode and Unhinged mode and I’m not gonna lie, I was laughing out loud because it felt like having a smart, slightly chaotic co pilot that still stays useful. Regen braking was another shock. It takes like five minutes and your brain clicks and you start thinking, why does every car not feel like this? The acceleration is stupid quick! Summon was straight up wild to see in person! Watching that car drive through the parking lot to meet me with no one on board was crazy! I’m telling you, experiencing it is completely different than hearing about it! If you’ve been on the fence, go do a demo drive. Give it time. Try it on real streets, real parking lots, real situations. Because after today, I get it! I’m ready to buy.. NOW! What do you want to try most, FSD, regen braking, Summon, or just feeling that acceleration? @elonmusk - this is truly the future! I am amazed!
