FIELD NOTE:
The Price of Passage

Trump proposes a 20% fee. Twenty-four hours later, it's investment deals instead.

Everyone debates whether it's a flip-flop. My question is different.

What does it tell us about how markets, power, and narrative are now being constructed?

That's the argument behind When Burning Man Comes to Washington.

When operations is confused for strategy, leaders risk their legacies. As we close out 2024, career collapse has become the operative ethic: @Stellantis; @intel; @VillageMD; @Kohls; @northvolt; @VW, @Nike; @CVSHealth, @Aetna; @Starbucks, @Nestle; @Boeing; @campari; @Hertz; @Wipro , @OmnicomHealth , @nyjets

People are pissed off, at scale.

What Big PBM is not "getting" in their search for growth is that the energy of a whole era is coming to a head in a long line flash.

The fall from grace will be hard and fast.

Henry Clay's "American System" 200 years later:

"The parking lot throbbed with hatred, fear and neighbor’s suspicion of neighbor. It became a microcosm of this year’s election, vicious and absurd. There was shouting about Project 2025 and the Jan. 6 riot. Transgender youth and vaccines. Tariffs and abortion. Fascism and communism. Mr. Trump’s supporters wore T-shirts that said “I’m voting for the convicted felon.” The other side yelled, “Lock him up.” One person wore an orange prison jumpsuit and a mask of Mr. Trump’s face."
