USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.

California is one of the most dynamic places on the planet.

The paradox of the state today is that its successful economy is attached to a failing model of governance.

On this day in 2016, Afghan "refugee" Omar Mateen carried out the 2nd largest Islamic terrorist attack in US history.

He shot over 100 people, of whom 49 died. He targeted Pulse, an LGBT themed nightclub in Orlando, FL.

Ok so retail investors got access to the biggest IPO in history but with a catch??

Every brokerage offering SpaceX allocations, except Schwab attached strict antiflipping rules.

- Fidelity, sell within 15 days and you're banned from IPOs for 6 months. Second offense, a year. Third, permanent.

- $HOOD, the self declared retail stronghold, tracks your shares for 30 days, sell early and you're locked out of IPO access for 60.

Why? The underwriters demanded it.

Morgan Stanley and the banks controlling allocation told brokerages directly, take this stock, but guarantee your clients don't toss it back on day one.

If u don’t, your platform gets zero allocation on the next hot deal

All the brokerages complied instantly, their IPO especially with (OpenAI & Anthropic) IPOs coming, their pipeline is worth more than retail trading freedom.

But the hedge fund that got allocation through its prime broker can flip at the open with zero consequence.

The retail account that got 5 shares through Fidelity gets penalized for doing the same thing.

Retail was given access to the demand side of this IPO. The exit remains institutional…so again is this an exist liquidity?

"Democratized finance" as long as you hold what they need you to hold, for exactly as long as they need you to hold it and there’s a new report on SpaceX only selling shares to people that are not selling but staying long💀
