  1. $1.1mm? That’s WAAAY too cheap for a consultant grift. This is just a poorly executed design.
  2. She’s not wrong, but only half of that is spent externally. The rest is cost that will get deployed going forward.
  3. $570k- $200k for the actual design work and the balance for engagement. Actually rebranding stuff with it will cost another $500kish. So, this isn’t a high dollar project for this kind of work. But the result is Fiverr level circa 2010.
  4. They spent about $500k on this and the majority was on engagement as opposed to design hours. So… pretty much.
  5. Avocado oil is fantastic and has become the default for all uses in my kitchen that involve cooking with unsaturated fat except for those that specifically require others, eg sesame.
  6. As branding exercises go, this wasn’t terribly expensive and I don’t get bent out of shape by small potatoes expenses but the result here is absurd and somebody in the CM’s office should have redirected this or better yet, done it in-house. This bears all the marks of overthinking engagement and feedback during the process. The firms involved should have insisted on a better outcome.
  7. This new unified brand is … wow.

  9. I love Mazda’s commitment to impractical ideas Mazda just patented a 6 stroke engine that makes its own hydrogen from gasoline
  10. Gotta stay away from le figaro, man. It’s just a whole different game of pétanque in there.
  11. 340/369 is disappointing to you? In a Mazda CX-90? I mean…those are tuned N54 numbers.
  12. What’s a 15 yr jumbo fixed going for today?
  13. He’s good at holding the caucus together and whipping a vote. That’s the job. Nancy Pelosi was a below average communicator and she’s the GOAT. Jeffries’ limitations are only important because the party has a number of would-be national leaders gearing up for a presidential run and they are all at the state level.

  15. They were Papa John’s. And expected he would have some left over.
  16. It wont be utilized at all because the legislature, the governor, and their party won’t let it happen. If you think the government should stop private industry from taking a risk on a product the market says it wants, you’re winning, because that’s what they are doing. But for the record every legitimate piece of market research that’s been done on this and every point of comparison where high speed rail exists makes the argument that it be popular in Texas.
  17. Exactly. If an air route between two places is viable, HSR is almost certain to thrive.
  18. Lol, that was not my takeaway so much, and I actually thought that was a bit of a flaw in the book. The combination of concentrated risk and ownership of assets that scale and appreciate exponentially to the investment of time and money you put in is what gets a person from level 4 to level 5. And, it’s true that most people who achieve it through small business ownership. But I thought he pressed that path a little too strongly, compared to other paths, such as early stage equity in startups that do well. That brings up something I really liked about the later parts of the book. Making that move from 4-5 comes with a ton of risk, a shitload of stress, and has limited upside unless you REALLY want the things that ONLY come with that level of wealth, and are willing to make the trade.
  19. This book is as good a big-picture framework for understanding levels of wealth and how we move from one to another that I have seen. However- it is strategic, not tactical, so it’s more about how to think about and approach the questions we face than it is specific guidance.
  20. But those reasons are just your preferences. My counterpoint is the fact that they do use it everywhere it does exist. But that’s manifestly untrue, based on the business travel by air between the three big Texas cities despite the fact that there is minimal time advantage. it’s fine that you prefer to drive, and many will, but right now the law and policy environment of the State of Texas and United States is what’s stopping high speed rail development, not the free market. The demand signal from business travelers is incredibly strong. I’m a weekly business traveler also, by the way.

  22. So it is- probably renaming it “Department of War” which wouldn’t rustle my jimmies as much as most things.
  23. Apparently Trump Is having a presser today to talk about the CDC. @Anastasis will this be about 85% stuff or the 15%?
