The Deja Vu

So days have more memories than others. May 19 is a very memorable day for me so let's get into it.

Barney Frank on Meet the Press. He was simply the best. When Kennedy died Obama's team kept him from being a place keeper. No Idea why.

Professor Robert Frank was a pioneer in Behavioral Economics before the term even existed. Want to understand the book?

2. Hire the person who is competent and a good fit, not the most qualified.

Poll news: Platner beating Collins in Maine by 8

Disastrous Fox News poll:

Trump phone customers had all of their personal data released per CoffeeZilla. 

Jess Bezos gave an interview with something for everyone to hate. He bashed rich people who don't pay enought taxes, insinuated school teachers have it easy, and said Trump has matured in office. 

Meanwhile, the Washington Post continues to implode.

Nvidia crushed in earnings so stock market should go up.

Too late? Meanwhile, SpaceX released it's financial data to go public. It is ugly.

HPV Vaccines now harder to get in Iowa. In 2007 Rick Perry signed a mandate for girls in 6th grade to be vacinated. Of course, he profited from this and the legislature overturned it. 

Congrats to Aubrey Rocco, Winner of Survivor 50.

Succession in real life. James Murdoch is the "liberal" Murdoch. Black sheep of the family buying up assets.

I have followed MKBHD since 2009 when his review of an HP Pavillion led me to buy one. The Verge, Pivot, etc...

8 years ago today Harry and Meghan got married. I wasn't interested to watch so Jamie and I went to a pub and stopped by his Elementary. 

A public boys school run by the Catholic Church.

Best boss in the world. 

Winner of the Debate contest.
