I have usually liked CNBC. Had it on almost constant for near a month in the hospital. Couple nurses asked me about it.

CNN has the advantage over MSNBC in that it has its own news gathering infrastructure whereas MSNBC seems pretty integrated with NBC which is cutting them off. CNN provides world news to all kinds of outlets providing a source of revenue. Plus, as much of a joke as they have made themselves they seem a step above MSNBC.

At the rate it is going, MSNBC might be had for $1 and taking on all the financial obligations. Fire most of the personalities and rebuild under a new name. CNBC could resurrect the FNN name it acquired about 1992. If Musk buys the works MSNBC could be rebranded "X" or "XTV" and integrated with X itself. Rebuild it into something next-generation of news and commentary. Just put Maddow out on an ice floe.

I lost interest with CNBC when liberal Andrew Ross Sorkin entered the picture.

It didn't make sense.

Then John Harwood put her on a liberal path to the Moon.

It was too much for me.

War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength

with all the fine print in an insurance policy, you'd think what was going to be paid would be more than clear... just shows that the actual purpose of it is to sow confusion.

I've said before that the insurance industry is so steeped in mendacity that there is no hope it can ever come out from under that. I'm not going to defend insurance company practices.

On the other hand, knocking off the CEOs is not something that ever would cross my mind. This to me is the antifa mindset, and I'm thinking they or some fellow-travelers will be found to be behind this

Lawyers and judges get threats for similar reasons. Assuming the reason is thinking or actually getting screwed, but not in a good way. Actually, to be fair, could be other professions, I mean, few would plan a murder over a minor mistake. Few, but not zero.

China's ban on exports of gallium, germanium and more could cost US billions

China banned exports of critical minerals gallium, germanium and antimony – elements considered essential by many tech and defense industries – to the U.S. on Tuesday.
The ban, which applies only to the U.S. market, is China’s response to expanded American restrictions on chip-related technology shipments to China, Reuters reported.

Do you have any proof this is the work of antifa? If so, I'm sure the NYPD would love to hear from you...
