Even in corporate boardrooms and management, long term planning gives way to quarterly earnings reports. No longer view.

Listening to him speak makes me wonder how in the hell was Janet Yellen ever qualified for that role

It's refreshing, isn't it.

Yellen was picked because first, she is female and second, did I mention she was female?

Well, she wasn't', so...

Great interview, thanks for sharing. Bessent needs to be the voice of the Administration for this.

Former Trump voters will not listen to this. They have their narrative and they are sticking with it.

I listened to it last week, very clear that this had been a well thought out plan.

Not just the tariffs, but the doge, the refinancing of debt, the bringing back of manufacturing. A total transformation back to an economy when we had 40% of worldwide GDP and no debt.

Democrats and neverTrumpers are trying so hard to make black Monday happen-they are trending it on X.

Classic example, 30 years ago I worked for Pepsi. Goizueta had just taken over CEO of Coke, a cuban immigrant.

Pepsi was on fire, we were doing well domestically, making inroads internationally, our largest market internationally was Venezuela, but we were close to a deal with China.

Southern California was our most profitable market, outsold coke 4 or 5 to one, but had run out of capacity and were trying to build a mega plant in Riverside but had a problem with some protected species of rat so we were shipping from Nevada and Arizona to supply.

Goizueta took his entire hispanic management from Miami (where they killed us) and moved them to Southern Cal.....and started a price war. Costing us 5 bucks for every 1 they lost. We burned the furniture, stopped spending internationally, cut travel, cut staff....but we made the quarterly number.

A few months later China announced cola wars were bad so they were dividing up china between coke and pepsi. Coke you get Bejing, Pepsi you get west bum fck. And Coke's partner....the chinese govt.

Our high flying VP of international was no longer on the front pages of Forbes. Then on Friday our Venezuelan bottler shut the doors......and Monday he opened as the Coke bottler. He said the VP should spend less time in photo shoots and maybe come visit his largest customer. Ya see he is a cuban immigrant as well and Goizueta himself had come to see him.

Olympians are given a small boquet of flowers when they receive their medals. Its from the Greeks to remind them, during the crowning achievements in life its best to be humble, because fame, like a fresh flower, will quickly fade.
