Oh it's better than that... he's burning venture dollars in the hopes that combining these companies will drive synergies 🤣 and unlock profitability that would be unachievable by any one company alone. Feels like the Ticketmaster playbook to me... buy absolutely everything in order to create a monopoly, control prices, limit competition, etc.

A lawyer friend was nice enough to download the first 20 pages of the Kenstone V Haro brief for me. The most telling thing: The ceo of Kenstone made herself the ceo of Haro and her cousin the sales manager, allowed way too much stuff ordered on her watch, installed the new CEO, and now Kenstone is looking for about $3mil USD in damages from Haro in a jury trial. 🤣

Don't worry. They had to slide the other 15 bunks into the hallway to take the photo. 🙃

He just did a podcast with the Segment talking about his Cased venture and... Very subtly bringing up the struggle of profitability. It's really hard to understand how this kid positioned himself as a high school teenager to get all this funding and start up multiple ventures. At the tail end of the covid timeline so already within the scope of seeing the downturn in biking and all outdoor activities at the time. Truly moving to SoCal and seemingly random Saudi Arabia trips are not... Mission critical to business success. I suppose those 'overheads' are covered by other means. If...

Occam's razor strikes again. The private 'non-traditional' school was a huge tell but... Ya know ya try not to be judgemental but the reality comes to light regardless. Kids don't just start business ventures for millions of dollars randomly. Hell most average kids are struggling to do the standard college to job transition nowadays. Well hope that guy prayed for his 100k back or somethin...

The fallout of the life of remittances under precarity is always under-investment and under development in countries of origin. If you enjoy heterdox economics as much as i do, Immanuel Ness has written extensively on the subject, his most recent text, Migration As Economic Imperialism: How International Labor Mobility Undermines Economic Development in Poor Countries (2023) is impeccably researched and readable(if you already understand surplus value and exchange value).

I really interested in how this works... I read something regarding a " home country agent" who charges several thousand dollars to a worker.. I'm guessing this person is like an employment agency here? Seeing the Giant dorms is like the old mining towns where the miners paid for company housing.. Definitely a different world..

No.

Then go build it. Talk is cheap.

nah, looks like you got fork oil dripping on your keyboard again…it’d be easy. DontWorryIMakeMusicGuy could do it on one of his rack units collecting dust in the corner: set a band stop filter and make the whistles go “____”

I think that misses the point of a RAW video? I always felt like the whistles are part of what made them cool in the first place. Other websites try to do "raw" videos that are overly produced and its not the same IMO

That X Games League is crooked from the get-go. It’s definitely designed to get into the uber shady world of sports betting, with strange private shadow owners and dudes who’ve already pushed NFT scams. Every once in a while it’s great MTB isn’t considered cool. You don’t want any part of this shit!

I wonder if rogue racing is not continuing with him. Considering the success of the other riders, Thibault and his “rumors” may very well be a hinderance in getting sponsors. And rogue can probably get more points than thibault by hiring a up and coming or mid pack veteran female elite. Which seems unlikely if he is on the team. My guess this is his “hey I’m still available” post before msa. But It doesn’t seem like he’s changed his position of being totally innocent of any wrongdoing. And if that were the case I think it would come to...

You didn’t get this from me.

Some companies definitely need to look at what DJi is doing with the Amflow battery... Definitely appears to be the smallest 800Wh battery at the moment..
