If I were the US President, I would implement these 8 wild policies. 1. We would raise the retirement age from 65 to 70 in a way where Seniors would LOVE it. 2. Suspend immigration for an entire year. Watch the rest👇🏽

Traditional Gyms Will Disappear in 10 Years Gyms have to be some of the most poorly monetized businesses on the planet. I’m always amazed by how poorly most gyms understand their customers, how they fail to understand the customer journey - and fail to MONETIZE key inflection points of the customer journey. Gym’s idea of ‘monetization’ is plastering garbage advertising everywhere for things like trashy energy drinks and other products that are the antithesis of a healthy lifestyle. This environmental pollution overriding gyms and rammed in patron’s faces degrades the brand and undermines trust and authority on a healthy lifestyle. It’s also noise, a distraction and a complete eyesore. In any one month, I’m generating $700 - $3,000 in related economic activity that could be captured by a modern gym, a lifestyle center. I’m not alone. Why can’t I consult with a nutritionist? Why can’t I sign up for a meal plan and have the meals ready? Why can’t I perform blood work and get tests performed? Why can’t I get a sports massage? Why can’t I buy quality vitamins and supplements? Buying quality training shoes, gloves and equipment can be a PIA, why can’t I buy them at the gym? I see some women wear new outfits everyday to the gym, a captive audience and more failure to capture revenue. Instead of big screens pumping garbage advertising, why don’t those screens run intelligent instructional content to encourage members? Just like public service announcements at the beginning of movies, no talking, no smoking, etc., those screens could be running content targeting the bad behavior of gym clowns to make them more self conscious, in an attempt to improve gym culture. Often, I’m just sick of going out and drinking. I’d pay a premium fee to just have a nice alcohol free place to hang out at with likeminded people. I’m picturing Joe Rogan’s back studio/ gym with a nice juice bar and healthy snacks. A place to watch fights and hang with the boys without having to get smashed. If I didn’t dislike physical businesses so much, I’d probably do it myself. Someone will. It seems obvious such a blue ocean exists when all the gyms are fighting it out over the same old stale paradigm. Membership fees, PT packages and ads. I’m sure similar models are being explored, I imagine they will become the norm.

French citizens protesting over raising retirement age to 64. Most of Europe retirement age was raised to 67 (longer life expectancy). The criticism is misdirected. The French have a healthy personal time ethic - don't confuse it with not wanting to work.

I've been here 1.5 years now and I had issues adapting to 2 hour lunches, my favorite places closing for winter/random vacation, making reservations EVERYWHERE and not just showing up, but it's just the French having healthy personal time ethics.

So I do think the strike is ridiculous because life expectancy is longer and you need to think of the future and it's a comparatively fair ask. Not because they just don't want to work...don't confuse that with their healthy personal time values.

The French take pride in their work and they're damn good at it. They're specialists. The waiters don't side gig. The butchers, bakers and candlestick makers do 1 thing and they do it well.

1. 10,000 rats 2. 5 Gorillas 5 Gorillas (strong, intelligent) to blitz hunter immediately while 10,000 rats attack/distract. Secure rifle to pick off the aggressive wolves and bears first while the lions sleep (have you ever seem Nat Geo?), then aim for sky & anything near me.

Important Thought Experiment You’re in an arena with: - 50 hawks - 10 crocodiles - 3 brown bears - 15 wolves - 1 hunter w/ rifle - 7 buffalo - 10,000 rats - 5 gorillas - 4 lions Pick 2 to defend you. The others attack you. Goal is to survive 1 hour. What do you pick and why?

Keep moving. Crocs are too slow. Stay far away from lions so you don't wake them up. My remaining Gorillas will take on the buffalo and help with hawks. Don't underestimate the sheer volume of 10,000 rats - they'll slow everything down.

When one of the most polarizing people in America becomes a spokesperson to one of your brands and instead of targeted leads, you get targeted hate.

This thread. Wow. I bet he’s fun to be with at parties.
On the New Year’s Eve, everybody’s into making predictions Many come up with futuristic hypotheses, as if competing to single out the wildest, and even the most absurd ones. Here’s our humble contribution. What can happen in 2023:

Every World Cup, I re-fall in love with the @usmnt team. I miss the players from the previous WC's and think I won't get into it. This year I admittedly only knew a few names the first game but I'm 100% invested.
the hotel was ROWDY when we got back 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Do it Trevino. Munson’s gear was iconic.
100% not only for Munson but for Elston Howard as well.. think it would be a great way to honor those two..what do you think @ALLSTARSPORTS

100% tipping his pitches. Bryce Harper is locked in. He sees this, goes yard then gets Bohm's ear before his at bat, then Bohm goes yard knowing what was coming. 5 HRs off McCullers (a WS record). If the Astros lose the series because of tipping, it's such poetic justice.
Well here’s the answer. Tipping. (Credit: @LegKickNationOG)

The fuel shortage in France is real. We couldn’t find any unleaded today (only diesel). Feels like the covid toilet paper hoarding in the US all over again. Hope the refinery strikes ends soon!

One of the biggest letdowns in baseball was watching McGwire*, Sosa* and Bonds* break the single season home run record and learn a few years later they cheated. Aaron Judge is the all time single season home run leader in my book.
