The Non-linear Economics of Grocery Delivery Basket

Instacart’s larger grocery baskets create disproportionately better delivery economics than DoorDash’s, making half the basket size worth far less than half the profit.

@darkstarsats 2/x) $NN can play a video for congress of them running tests right outside the capital building, or maybe even inside, and say "see, no interference."

@darkstarsats 1/x) the point is that next time $NN is front of congress, when the opposition claims interference, Miriam can say "congressman, did you notice your key card not working?" "Sergeant at Arms, were there any issues w/ electronic security?" etc etc

I think there is signal value here. No way the FCC runs $NN tests at the literal capital building unless they have sign-off from the highest levels. To much risk of this being labeled a “stunt” unless the FCC and higher powers are strongly supportive. https://t.co/Eaxyu0UbS4

I haven’t followed $WULF much but with the news that Anthropic is pursuing DC leases and with Century Aluminum sharing that Terrawulf believes they will have a tenant announcement by end of June… aren’t the pieces kind of fitting together and if so what’s the blue sky upside look like?

@BillAckman Literally every asset that’s managed by you including $HHH $PSHZF and now $PSUS has always traded at a discount. Why would this one be any different?

Now that we've all survived SpaceX day, I think some space names will (hopefully) trade more based on biz momentum. One example: $KVHI's inclusion into the NASA ETF has largely dictated how it's been trading (contributed to the strong runup and recent decline). NASA flows have totally dominated price action. However none of that matters for how the business is actually doing (see below).
