An unnamed but well-placed source was telling me he estimates Amazon is only about 20% of where it plans to be, namely in control of any business with a 20%+ profit margin and decently high volume. grocerydive.com/news/amazon-pl…

As punishment, Judge Leon (who let AT&T buy Time-Warner) should be forced to watch whatever monstrosity results from AT&T's ongoing "shakeup" and "desiloing" of HBO and Turner -- I happen to think the HBO "silo" made some pretty good shows variety.com/2019/tv/news/h…

We put up with too much routine lying & deception in the United States by major institutions: like Coca-Cola's claim that it has a fixed formula, when it actually uses whatever sweetener is cheapest in each country, which obviously affects the taste! huffpost.com/entry/coca-col…

At the trial contesting AT&T's takeover of Time Warner, the govnt should have just said "but your honor, they're going to ruin HBO!" nytimes.com/2019/02/28/bus…

In entertainment terms, the Cohen testimony was basically a trailer for the Mueller report and its sequel, the SDNY indictment

The real legal (as opposed to political) relevance of the Cohen testimony is this: what looks like sufficient documentary and testimonial evidence for a grand jury to indict D. Trump for violations of campaign finance law

Party politics is a crazy force that defies ethics: it can make 30%+ of the American public actually root against an informant speaking up against his criminal overlord
