@ethanagarwal @RoKhanna @garrytan So help me understand this. According to federal election information, Ro Khanna has ~$15.5M in cash in his campaign fund and he is sending out panicked fundraising tweets because you raised $400K in a month? At that pace, you still couldn't match let alone outspend him.

@ethanagarwal We may be witnessing the Pierre Poilievre of American politics.

@mayankja1n @internetvin What is really crazy is, that isn't even the unpaid work that they are asking to be paid for. It is the work that they are actually doing on the plane.

[David Barron @Davebarron]

@MirthDAL @yucanuck30 @pallygupta @AirCanadaPilots It is 2x worse. They also stop getting paid when the plane arrives at the destination gate. They must continue working unpaid, assisting passengers as they deplane. When there are handicapped needing assistance and medical emergencies, they must work until everything is resolved.

@rohindhar Gorgeous place. I spent a night there many years ago. but have you walked around the neighborhood after dark....?

Nice to see @tomkeene back on @bsurveillance. Missed the dynamic that he brought to the show. Hope to see him more frequently in 2025. @business

@rohindhar Goldman Sachs believes that we are past the peak in mortgage rates, but think it’s going to be a slow grind lower over the coming years.

@rohindhar Banks lowered interest rates before the last Fed rate drop but now realize that additional decreases will be slower than thought previously.

@rohindhar Compass is running like a tech company rather than a RE broker. R&D should be 1/10th or less of what they are spending, which is a high number. "restructuring expenses" means bad planning. Depreciation is just an accounting number. Sales and Marketing seems high.

@rohindhar Weather forecasters are predicting a brutal hurricane season this year. People might be trying to get out early.

@elerianm @annmarie @FerroTV @lisaabramowicz1 Always enjoy the team and guests at Surveillance to start the day. Still missing the acerbic contributions from TK.

@Jason @LondonBreed Several hours before this, I was driving on the Embarcadero and a swarm of young people on bikes wearing hoods and masks (~15-20), intentionally blocked the road in a lawless, dangerous way. I felt extremely unsafe and was able to escape by turning off on Bryant.

@MACcable Your definition is correct (forgetting satellite TV for a moment). An increasing number of cord cutters are disconnecting because people in their households are not watching PayTV like they used to. Cord Nevers are generally not interested in PayTV content at all.
