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.

@CalgaryLeveen @cfrischer1 @sScCrRaAbBLLeE 5/x) I'd argue that @BrendanCarrFCC is incentivized to move forward quickly now too, unless he wants to allow $WMT to dictate how the FCC does its job through their congressman, whom they no doubt generously support.

@endless_frank @AST_SpaceMobile Hi - no position but have been following along. How do you think about the advantages that SpaceX and $AMZN have in terms of name recognition, distribution, and cost of capital? How do you think about pricing in a 3 player market? Is it a race to the bottom out of the gate? TYIA

Think signal value for $NN is very high here. Ajit Pai, Brendan Carr’s mentor at the FCC, is Pres and CEO of CTIA. Execs from $VZ and $T are chair and vice chair. Unlikely they put Mariam on the board unless $NN future is bright. 💯% Pai knows what is happening behind FCC doors. https://t.co/4Jtm3aiAf9

@UnHedgedChatter @InvestSpecial @Wexboy_Value $AS, owner of Arc'teryx & 9 other brands trades at more than 3x sales. $CLAR, which would fit perfectly into AS's portfolio trades at less than 0.5x sales and is exploring strategic alts. 🤷‍♂️

Interesting framing for $NN. $95 is pretty far above my upside case, but agree the $T / FirstNet arrangement is interesting context, despite some obvious differences. https://t.co/b3FsHVkivk

@FishOnCapital IMHO best to view this in context of the pod w/ the banker from the 600 MHz. To paraphrase, all of the likely buyers wanted the 600, but AT&T won b/c they were able to move fastest. I suspect $VZ, $TMUS & others will be ready to move fast for $NN's 900. https://t.co/5gRpmej4Bk
