Dumb CEO since 2017 their fact checkered put a mask on their ball. Um moving on to some more not funny today. I have a small basket of racist nuggets that I'm going to sprinkle throughout today's stories today, you're a racism. You're you two, you fools are gonna rate the racism on a scale of pre-emptively racist, pre-rusties. On his first day of office, the fails Carlisle co-ceo and now governor of Virginia.

It's it's it's pandering to ultra race. You are incorrect, this is pretty racist. Seeing as critical race theory is an educational theory and systemic racism racism that has never ever been taught. Actually taught in Virginia. So yeah, you're right mattresses code for it's also code for. Let's not teach about slavery but I'm saying it's really three races like he's preemptively.

I had a good time riding that. The US corn saves hungry, Canadian cows after drought scorches feet. Canada is now one of the top buyers of us corn as cattle ranchers, scour for grain to feed their animals, Canada's corn, buying spree will be 3.2 million metric. Tons up from a 457,000, tons last year. That's a lot of tons. According to Bob Lowe president of the Canadian Cattlemen's Association. If you can't get a car tire, that's an inconvenience. If a cow, can't get something to eat. That's a major problem. What if you check his math, there? It's kind of hard to argue with that, but this ain't no smart food. Corn, let's talk about corn corn. Makes cows fatter faster. Corned reduces cows lifespan from about five years to about 14 months. Its populace. Mathai bovine edition five years, equals 60 months. Minus 14, months equals getting my tummy faster. And you know what? Cult cows are not evolved to digest corn. Oh, you have to teach cows how to eat corn, which means the following. I paraphrase here, antibiotics, blow acidosis acidic bad case of Harper and ulcerated room in bacteria escapes to the bloodstream bacteria in the liver, liver abscesses more antibiotics. And you know what I did the story just because Emma giggle at the headline us corn saves hunger, Canadian College Scorchers feed and because it's a subtle reminder that Emma is wrong about beyond meat. It's all right. I'm waiting for the headline that says beyond meat peas. Require us corn in order to feed them is that coming? Next up in our rate, the racists. Here's the headline for you. Senator Tom Cotton, says Warriors, co-owner chamath should be forced to sell his stake in the NBA team. Following his comments at, nobody cares about the uyghur genocide in China, right? The racism. I meant I talked about this a lot this morning. This is like one of these mine blowing Vortex political, I pretend to care about this race. It's next level spin cycle. It's next level. I don't even know what to say about this because Tom Cotton clearly just on a elevated plain of Genius. He suddenly cares about well, first of all, he cares about Chinese people, and he cares about Muzzy. Damien's going with elevated racism. Emma, how do you put this sweet sweet racism? Because not only is he pretending to care about a minority group that he doesn't actually care about but he's doing it for his own political game which adds like a nice sprinkle of self-interest on. It ammo goes with a coolant Sweet Baby Ray's of racism but you're both wrong, I rate it as racist on racist, crime, Tom Cotton Also said not so long ago that slavery was quote a necessary evil and that the Holocaust was quote. Also unnecessary evil with. This is true, what? Good job, Tom Cotton racist and racist crime. I and to add disappointingly that the team you're talking about. You mentioned the Golden State Warriors coached by Steve Kerr, who was a very openly candidly political figure. He's not even weighing in on that. China sells a lot of basketball. Yes, it does. Yep. Republican buys shoes. It's a confusing topic. Let's move on. Airbnb, CEO joins, work from anywhere party with plan to live on Airbnb, what Airbnb, CEO, and co-founder and chair.

Just write about it was Africa. Then the activist investors involved remains to be seen. Professor Scott Galloway, Jessica has been vocal about the pandemic changing, the nature of travel as employees. Gain more flexibility to work from anywhere. Now, it's my turn to be vocal. As first of all. First of all, I analyzed the first 100 replies to his tweet. I actually did this. I counted 100 replies. I don't know what's wrong with me and I will say surprisingly, it was more than 90% positive. And the negative tweets. They were basically constructive criticism and good old Brian, actually, responded to some customer care from Aaron beers responding. Like, it was, almost like you said this happened, like Twitter was working. This happened on Twitter, I thought I know it was like it was like oddly working, maybe it's something about Brian. Chesky is this Matt, I'll ask you this because you're from his fare home state. Is this because he went to Disney. Is this why people like him know, you know, second of all Airbnb is a goddamn fake puppy. Yes, it is. There it is. Got, here we go, here we go. We got three Bros of co-founders. We got three broasted, VC firms. They all control over 75% of the vote because their class B shares are magically blessed with the power to be worth 20. Wow, Another the nine directors only five are independent, and that includes three of the BC Bros and Anne, the busy Rolodex. Yes, so many directors ships. Google Netflix Bumble Arista that she told me in a private conversation over corn flavored espresso last week, that she doesn't even really know who she is anymore or why she here, or how she ended up at NYU.

We haven't seen numbers like this is Putin. Played back in with a surf name. Oh wow. I would like to say though and if you're listening hey join us over here at free float media. We can give you some directions. Here's the headline from deal book. Tales From crypto, a billionaire meme Feud threatens, the industry, Unity. A dispute over web 3 in the cryptocurrency industry was publicly exposed in a Twitter spat between Jack Dorsey and Mark on Jason. So great question. Wouldn't we all like to know to my understanding with three is an alternative iteration of the internet that operates on a democratic cryptocurrency token system? If you don't understand it from there, I'm sorry. Mathlete did all my other shit. however, the story Asian rhetoric Falls a little flat when web3 is funding comes from the exact same place that the current Internet funding came from institutional investors last year Venture capitalists spent almost 13 billion dollars funding 460 different blockchain projects And this is where the Jack Dorsey, Marc. Andres in Feud comes into play, there is a very boring, very nerdy Twitter fight between Jack Dorsey, Elon Musk and Mark andreson about web 3, that I will try to sum up as quickly as possible. Yes, of course. Elon is involved. He's always involved. Is it actually? It's not quote. It is actually boring. Okay so here's how it went. Jack accuses web3 of being Venture Capital controlled centralized BS Elon joins in and he and Jack Capitol right party. Making fun of web3 Mark fun? Okay, good blocks Jack but you're saying that's true, you're saying that is true. It's it kind of is true Venture Capital controls and then marks Jack on Twitter and posts anxiety memes about web 3 haters like a 12 year old on Tumblr. That is what he did. Wait you well wait wait hold the hold the clock here you can block Jack yes this is allowed Mark proved it to us. So good job. That's it. That's the exchange and you won't catch me siding with Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk very often. So, if you fall asleep, at this point, I suggest waking up, just for this tip, it marks Venture Capital fund has invested heavily into two web three programs in which 95% of the crypto tokens used for governance are owned by 1% of the token holders. Wow, that's dual class, isn't it? It's the Dual class of dual class. So this is like the crypto edition of a Les Mis reboot King. Louie owns the internet. Wait, what Jean? Valjean thinks that's fucked up and starts a French Revolution of the internet. Do you like how I am co-opting the story of the French Revolution here so hard. Yeah, but in order to run to the revolution Jean Valjean takes seed money from Marie Antoinette. Where does Murray get her money? King Louie. Of course, this sounds like just Jamie Diamond. This is like something for Joey Rose, 80% better with Joey Romeo in it, right? I feel both more and less informed at the same time. I'm gonna round out my Trio of rate, the racism with my last story last up. Here's the headline, Tesla judge says 137, million dollar racism, verdict is quote, extremely high test. I have to give you a little bit of background on this Tesla. Lost a jury verdict. To Owen Diaz for racism. But have asked the amount of the verdict to be reduced to as little as 1.5 million or about 1% of what was actually. Awarded the judge said, he was worried the amount may quote, be untethered to the distress, to which Mr. Diaz, and his Witnesses testified. So here we are right, the racism, maybe go for it. Maybe untethered to distress so maybe on tethered. Is it on Tether? I don't think I even understand what that means. That is. Because neither of you can write this because I rated it as boring racism, boring old racism. Here's a snapshot of the distress to which Mr. Diaz and his Witnesses testified. He says quote you hear Hey Boy, come here and word or go back to Africa on a routine basis. There were reports, this is a working at, this is working at Tesla. He reports racist graffiti and drawings visible around the factory on the walls of toilets. For example, swastikas were said to be prominently visible and the initials KKK written on the walls. D, as his own shift, supervisor once painted, a figure meant to represent a person from Africa as a cartoon with thick lips and a bone in his hair with the word Boomer underneath. And this is all like, this is all documented. There were 120 lawsuits for discrimination filed to test list since 2018 Tesla's work for, His 10% black and its leadership is 4%, black. Oh wait, breaking news, the leadership is now 2% black because one of the only black people we reported Justin's week, Valerie Capers, just left Tesla. So wonder why this is just rated as plain old. Boring racism. Good job. It's the one boring thing that Elon Musk does racism. Well, to be to be fair. For the record. I'm, I'm arguably not even happy with the 137 million dollars, as a as recompense. I think it's a little bump that. Does it does. Beg the question that how was, how was the judge qualified to put a dollar figure on this in the first place? And to be fair, he said, maybe on Tether. So what the which means it might might be together. Might be better. Judge is actually considering is presented because, no other discrimination thing is paid out this much. But, this is being, this is being tried to help California and the judge is a, Barack Obama appointy. I looked into the judge is lots of, like, it's not, he's not like some Republican reporting. Who is a racist? He's using like, you know, president and things like that. But he he's considering whether or not it's sort of outside but Diaz's lawyers are saying if you don't let the jury decide and make a statement, how will you deter anything? Anyway, much Less you know. How can you quantify the distressed? Our client. I was about to say, if anything else, doesn't he want a little notoriety? A little like, Look at me. This is what it this is. Breaking boundaries. I don't know if he does it for anything, do it. whatever that Emma lurking famous racist, take Speaking of racism, let's go to Italy. Italians are Furious as the cost of an espresso Source toward record, high. The article, the the writer all so says Italians are fuming over the rising cost of an espresso coffee. That's on the same article. I like that. Why does why does everything about this article? Sound like a monster truck rally. According to a recent report from the times of London, the cost of this popular morning. Drink has jumped from a dollar 13 to a dollar 25. In many cafes this year. Yes Furious Furious. Here's the quote from furio trusy head of the Italian consumer rights group a Sutton day. He says, we are receiving numerous complaints to mounting the rise and prices of coffee. It transforms a daily ritual for 5.5 million Italians into a luxury. Reserved for the wrist record high. Populist math time I roll Edition. Like a dollar. 25 minus a dollar 13. That means espresso prices are up 12 cents. If you get a nice espresso every morning before work, that's roughly 250 espressos per year, 250 times 12 cents, that's 30 dollars. Thirty dollars a year. That's eight cents a day. Wow. The article also points out the experts say that consumers are so addicted to the consumption of coffee that they're likely to withstand price increases. I did this story because Emma giggled at the headline and because I love how we needed, experts to point out, that people are addicted to cough. Well, here's the one place to story is wrong. They don't have one espresso a day to have like seven. Yeah, that's and the only time they're not is when they don't go to work between noon and 7:00 at night because they're busy resting, which is mostly all of Italy that was all we have in our sloppy slimy, albumin, filled bag of business nuggets today.
