Reading the recent New York Times hit job on FOX News host Tucker Carlson I was reminded of the prescient brilliance of Paddy Chayefsky, who wrote the screenplay for the 1976 movie Network. Chayefsky not only envisioned the rise of Carlson, but he also foresaw the diminished influence of the New York Times.
In my mind, GM and Ford represent all that’s wrong with America.
In acquiring Twitter, Elon Musk has laid bare the truth about those who espouse “stakeholder capitalism” the loudest and validated his claim that ESG, or socially responsible investing, is the “Devil Incarnate.”
That Detroit attorney Paul Novak is representing California in a bellwether opioid trial Monday in San Francisco involving multiple drug makers and pharmacies, including Walgreens and Teva, shouldn’t come as a surprise. Novak is a former assistant Michigan attorney general, and if you’re not a fan of the pricing and marketing practices of pharmaceutical companies, you’ll love this guy.
Michigan is chock full of A-team lawyers, and for nearly four decades had the most respected attorney general in the nation. The great lawyers are still there, but Dana Nessel has sullied the AG’s office.
For those tired of corporate wokeness and enjoy people who have been wronged get their due, there is much to be grateful for these days. Disney, Netflix, CNN, The Intercept, and Houston Methodist Hospital have all been served their just desserts.
I’m savoring every morsel.
Reading New York Times columnist Paul Krugman’s column accusing Republicans of being the party promoting hate prompted me to think of some examples on his side of the aisle, including the publication that employs him.
Underscoring how America’s establishment media seeks to distract the country from the broader issues threatening the country, the Washington Post today posted a story headlined, “DeSantis takes on Disney in a culture was with national implications.”
No, the real culture war is with China. Thanks to Hollywood, America has already surrendered.
Elon Musk possibly doesn’t know the “Greater Fool Theory” by name, but he exploits it on a seemingly daily basis on Twitter.
The U.S. Constitution guarantees “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.” Private equity firms are increasingly denying Americans their inalienable rights.
Although marred by his politics and blind faith in government, Peter Goodman’s book “Davos Man” is a guaranteed delight for those who are angered about the growing disparity of wealth in America and around the world. Widespread understanding of Goodman’s core message is the requisite first step making towards making the world a better place.
Buy the book and you’ll gain some valuable insight about the business practices of Salesforce’s Marc Benioff, BlackRock’s Larry Fink, JP Morgan Chase’s Jamie Dimon, Blackstone’s Stephen Schwarzman, and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
