I think why we as Americans are enjoying our World Cup Guests is because deep down inside..

It’s like Welcoming Our Distant Cousins to our home.

They are bringing a little something from the Old World with them that feels familiar yet discovering what we’ve made of ourselves over here for the last 250 years in that far off land called America 🇺🇸

Retatrutide additional phase 3 results are out, and the data keeps getting better:

- 28.3% bodyweight lost on 12mg over 80 weeks (70.3 lbs)
- 30.3% at 104 weeks in higher-BMI patients (85 lbs)
- 65.3% dropped below the obesity BMI threshold
- Knee osteoarthritis pain reduced by up to 75.8% (1 in 8 patients are fully pain-free)
- Obstructive sleep apnea significantly improved
- Major drops in triglycerides (41%), non-HDL cholesterol (24.2%), and blood pressure
- A1C fell up to 2.0% and weight down 16.8% in diabetic patients, in just 40 weeks

For those that are unfamiliar, retatrutide now has Phase 3 data showing it reaches well beyond weight loss.

It directly treats the complications that have historically required entirely separate medications.

This is becoming a new category of medicine, and the data is only getting stronger.

@SBakerMD What if you die of all the issues a GLP 1 solves for?

Which is worse dying of morbid obesity in 5 to 10 yrs or being on a glp 1 all your life?

( I disagree with premise that once on a GLP-1 its for a lifetime)

However even if true your point is absurd.

My wife mentioned a nice private school over dinner this week
She said the campus was beautiful
I asked what's the tuition
She said we should look at it as an investment in him not a cost
I made a note
She said don't make a note
I said I always make notes
She said this isn't a deal
I said everything is a deal
She closed her eyes

She said we'd discuss it Saturday
I agreed

Saturday 7:02am
She came downstairs in her Saturday robe
Coffee in hand
I had my cargo shorts on

The dining room had been cleared
The projector was on
The analyst was at the head of the table
Quarter zip on, three iced coffees, a legal pad, and two laptops
He had been there since 6:44am

I texted him at 11:14pm Friday
The text said dining room 6:45am bring the model
He sent a thumbs up

My wife stopped in the doorway
She said what is this
I said you said you wanted to discuss it
She said this is not a discussion
I did not respond
She sat down anyway

The analyst stood
He said good morning ma'am
She did not respond
He sat back down
A printed deck in front of each seat
A fourth copy in case

Slide 1 Tuition Schedule
$38,500 per year
Thirteen years
$500,500 nominal
Before escalators
The school has raised tuition 4.2% per year for a decade
With escalators $648,000
My wife said okay
I said I'm not done

Slide 2 Opportunity Cost
Even before escalators
$38,500 invested annually
10% nominal return
S&P long-run average since 1928
By his eighteenth birthday $944,000
My wife said we can afford it
I said I know that's not the slide

Slide 3 Terminal Value at Age 65
$83 million
She was quiet

The analyst slid the sensitivity tables across the table
8% return $31 million
10% return $83 million
12% return $222 million
She did not look

She said this isn't about money
I said it's always about money
She said no it isn't
I said then what is it about
She did not answer

She said you can't put a dollar value on his teachers his classmates his environment
I said I can the analyst already did slide 6
He flipped to slide 6
She did not look

She said the school is the best in the city
I said best is a feeling
She said it produces the best students
I said the students were already the best before they got there

She said our son deserves it
I said our son deserves $83 million

My son walked in
He is five
Dinosaur pajamas
He looked at the projector
He looked at the open deck on the table
He looked at slide 3
He said are we modeling pre-tax or after-tax
The analyst opened a new tab
My wife looked at the ceiling

He said what's the discount rate
The analyst set down his pen
She closed her eyes

He said is this the same return assumption from the 529 conversation
The analyst stopped typing
He looked at me
I did not say anything

She stood up
Sat back down

He said dad can I help
I said yes
He pulled up a chair
The analyst handed him a printout
He started reading

My wife watched him read
She watched him for a long time

She said his name
He looked up
She said do you like school
He said the work is too easy and the kids don't ask questions

She did not respond
She looked at the ceiling
She walked out of the room

The analyst started packing up
He said should I follow up Monday sir
I said no follow up needed

He'll be fine

Michael Saylor says working hard is the worst advice you can get

"You don't want to make money by being talented and working hard, the robots are going to work hard, the cars are gonna drive themselves"

"Once you train the AI on a Shakespearean sonnet, the AI will spit back sonnets just as good as Shakespeare in his prime, if you studied for 20 years to learn how to compose, that’s becoming less valuable just like writing a 100-page legal document"

"Now you're gonna say to the AI, compose an entire network of trusts and wills for my entire family and then optimize it for which tax jurisdiction and implement it. And it's only gonna cost you $10 bucks and it used to cost $10,000,000... human capital is getting demonetized"
