KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEFING (CLASSIC): Dreams Can Come True. “One of my clearest and fondest memories from the 2016 presidential election involved the few minutes leading up to the announcement that Donald Trump had won the state of Pennsylvania, and the next several minutes after that. The looks on the faces of the mainstream media talking heads are forever etched in my mind. They knew what the Trump victory in the Keystone State meant, and the sheer panic was delicious.”

“THE BEST PART IS NO PART”: The Musk-Led Manufacturing Revolution Nobody Is Talking About. “When most analysts discuss Tesla, they focus on new vehicles or the electric vehicle company’s advancements in autonomy. Yet, according to Launch i/o CEO Jeff Lutz, one of the most significant—and under-discussed—developments at Tesla is happening not in its design studios or on the road, but in its factories. Lutz, a former executive at Google and Motorola, argues that Tesla’s true innovation isn’t just the electric vehicles or robots it’s building, but how those products are being made. The company’s first-principles approach to manufacturing is a radical departure from the industry norm, focusing not just on cheap labor or existing models, but on rethinking the entire production process.”

ANALYSIS: TRUE.

AND YET THERE ARE STILL MORONS OUT THERE PROMOTING COMMUNISM:

It’s not even, in Churchill’s words, the equal sharing of misery. The dictators and apparatchiks and nomenklatura — all of whom are invariably present in communist regimes — pretty much skip the misery. That part is reserved for the workers and peasants for whose benefits the regime allegedly exists.

Cuba is in fact a brutally exploitative slave state run by corrupt and incompetent slavers. And yet there are still some in America and elsewhere who pretend there’s something admirable about it, which in fact there never was.

BIG BROTHER BILL IS WATCHING YOU:

Neither 1984 nor Brave New World were instruction manuals.

SO WE’RE NOT EVEN GOING TO BE ABLE TO TELL JOURNALISTS TO LEARN TO CODE SOON: A fascinating thread.

Odd Magics
This is a very strange collection of fairytales, recast for modern life. In it the prize isn’t always to the fairest, the
magic is rarely to the strongest.
But lonely introverts do find love, women who never gave it a thought find themselves at the center of romance.
Doing what’s right will see you to the happily ever after.
And sometimes you have to kiss an accountant to find your prince.
