maybe the funniest part of the bayeux tapestry is when they briefly pause the narrative to show you a guy called wadard who then never shows up again

Flock takes their privacy very seriously.
But the ethical gray area in surveillance technology works both ways.
Under no circumstances should elected officials or public servants enjoy an expectation of privacy when spending tax dollars to attend a surveillance lobbying event.

"Once the market understands the fundamentals, I'm sure it will agree with us" -- Bessent
In my years working/investing on/in Argentina, it was always a sell signal when the Economy Minister would tell investors who didn't want to buy his bonds bc of the policy mix "No, es que el mundo nos tiene que entender". Pretty much every Argentine econ minister said this.
Bottom line: When you're trying to sell your bonds to the market, it's you who has to understand the market, not the market that has to understand you.

When I used to run Heinz Ketchup I was always pushing to do "lifetime supply" promos.
It's brilliant bc of the massive gap between customer excitement and actual cost to the company.
People would FREAK OUT after winning a lifetime supply of ketchup. You'd think they won the lottery.
Usually it just ends up being a large gift card. For a lifetime supply it'd only be ~$500-$1K. And that's retail, not product cost (true cost to the co).
An even easier promo almost any biz can run is "a year's supply of X".
Customers still freak out and the cost is quite low, esp relative to other marketing tactics.
If you build a solid campaign around "Free X for a Year" promise you'll get great engagement.
Ketchup is great bc it's a low ticket item. A year's supply of Heinz Ketchup is like $50 retail. 😂
Highly encourage you to give it a try if it makes sense for your biz.
Because he was drafted with the 57th overall pick, Logan Jones will receive a lifetime supply of ketchup from The Kraft Heinz Company.
Jones didn't know the incentive of his draft slot until informed on a zoom minutes after being selected.
"I love it! I'll take as much as I can get ... Let’s go ketchup!"
