One of my favourite independent podcasts (BHP) just noted that they are bleeding paid subscribers. This is an early recession indicator. I'm curious when all the (publicly traded) streaming services are going to reveal similar losses.

Was at an ag event last night and got to speak with Antonio Villaraigosa. It's a shame he's being mostly ignored in the governor's race. He strikes me as the least theatrical but most "get shit done" of the candidates.

I'm not as worried as I should be about this because the administration is working to shrink the US economy at the same time. Also, and not sarcasticly, economic pressure to decarbonize will continue to drive the energy transition.
