The Best One Yet

đŸ”” “$400M Latte” — Blue Bottle’s acquisition. Oil’s everything tax. Startup-maxxing surge. +Solo Dining Surge

‱

Founder-Maxxing is the new trend
 America is losing jobs, but gaining entrepreneurs.

Blue Bottle Coffee was just acquired by China’s Luckin for $400M
 It’s a 9-digit latte.

Oil surged 14% in the biggest one-day pop we’ve ever seen
 And it’s a tax on the whole economy.

Plus, did you go to that thing alone this weekend? It’s lonely leisure, and honestly, we’re big fans.
