@MrJonesSTRs Is this single pet fee, or if they add more pets, the pet fee goes up? We’ve traditionally done 1 pet fee no matter the amount of pets, but might be a missed opportunity on our end

BK, @Joelsherman1 and @AlexAvilaMLB go into depth on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's lead from third base in the bottom of the 9th inning of World Series Game 7.

Why I love business:

Every single business person, from the guy selling cold coconuts from a cart on the corner to Jeff Bezos, is playing what is fundamentally the same game.

Identify and solve customer problems at a profit -> create and/or attract capital -> solve more / bigger problems for more profit -> repeat.

Every player brings he or her own personal strengths & weaknesses, resources, network, luck, etc.

Fail, and your family can be out on the street.

Succeed, and you earn wealth and power beyond your wildest dreams.

In comparison, everything else seems kind of dull. (& I'm not even particularly good at the game!)

@danielfoch unfortunately I don’t think most people are voting based on policy at this point

This self-inflicted trade war is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.

Aside from the general issues about Trump‘s tariff and his economic nationalism strategy, today’s actions against Canada and Mexico are inexplicable and dangerous. 1/8

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Now Mexico joins Canada, saying it will hit the US with retaliatory tariff and ALSO target RED STATES.

Nothing says 'stable genius' like taxing your own consumers, alienating allies, and sparking retaliatory tariffs. Brilliant move.

1/ What we are seeing right now in Gaza -- masked gunmen surrounding hostages as they are released, civilians jeering and taunting innocent women who were kidnapped and tortured -- demonstrates the utter depravity and sheer evil of Hamas and their supporters for the world to see.

@Jamie_Lane @airdna Option 2, option 1 is worst imo. It’s revenue, some take a spread, some take a loss, it depends

[tobi lutke @tobi]

This was entirely predictable and predicted. I’m hearing lots of stories like this. It’s crazy to stick this massive complexity on small businesses that are already being eviscerated by the bad faith Canada post strike. Civil servants need to do better for us.

A travesty. “12% of French people believe it would be good for the country if its Jews packed up and left, a new survey shows, with one of the pollsters calling the numbers ‘a historic reversal’ reflecting a worsening of antisemitism on the left.”

Average hotel rate in New York City is now $417 a night

Hotel industry lobbyists sure earned their pay after they got Airbnb banned 😂

Canada needs to look at this with fresh eyes and see it for what it is

[tobi lutke @tobi]

This is such sad populism
