So outside of the US, you can see the 1000s of “partners” with whom your website is sharing data with. It’s both amazing and frightening. I imagine this is available in the US as well, but likely in a way that is enormously opaque.

The tragic nonsense regarding the fate of the Kennedy Center has me once again thinking about the movement to save Carnegie Hall in the 80s. A certain boisterous Manhattan developer, having completed both the Grand Hyatt and Trump Tower (said to have sold out of condos in mere months) by 1983…

“Trump … said suppliers have agreed to sell at a 25 percent discount that will be passed on to consumers.” No one, especially anyone in the Trump orbit, sells below market price. Expect it to be tainted beef. Hell, at this point, I’d expect it to be Soylent Green. apple.news/Ao4KOnj8yTti...
