Correct.

This is a rule that, if adopted, would directly impact my business and many other businesses. I have not paid close attention to it because it is nowhere near being adopted and a number of changes are likely as the rulemaking process proceeds. I do wonder how this might affect sports contracts...

Today's Business Chatter RE Debt Ceiling If today's chatter on the business news shows (Bloomberg, CNBC) is any indication, there will be no panic before the debt ceiling is resolved. Investors and analysts have seen this dance several times before. The Democrats and Republicans will bring the...

I'm an employer and know a little bit about non-compete clauses. I'm not a lawyer and I do not speak with that expertise. Non-compete laws vary greatly from state to state. You may hear from one state that non-competes are unenforceable, and that may be correct. And you may hear from another...

Once again, I think you have your facts wrong. Yes, New York made change to its laws that affect the statute of limitations. But can you tell us what that change was? What law changed exactly, and what statutes were affected exactly? And what exactly did the changed law say? If you do a bit of...

Has CNN Promised to be Kind to Trump? This is a bit of a surprise to me. "Trump’s decision to sit with CNN for a town hall-style event is a significant departure from his usual appearances on Fox News and smaller conservative channels, such as Newsmax and OAN."...

If I, a Texas non-resident, drove to Dallas to buy an AR-15, what are the requirements? Can I simply walk into a gun store or gun show and buy one by paying cash? Or are there things like background checks, waiting periods, ID, gun safety classes, and such required?

Appeal Pretext Laid It is no surprise this motion was made and no surprise it was denied. The pretext for an appeal has been laid. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/e-jean-carroll-rape-lawsuit-donald-trump-lawyers-mistrial/

I agree. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. It's not justice if the laws are unfairly applied.

FOX Ratings As of Wednesday I am watching the FOX ratings data with interest. Carlson was taken off the air on Monday. Here are the numbers as of Wed: (Source) ------------------------ Carlson’s finale a week ago drew 2.65 million viewers, according to Nielsen. The data shows that Brian...

Not if his contract prohibits that.

While last week's FOX stock price activity suggests FOX shareholders in general are not pissed, there is this lawsuit filed by a particular shareholder. We do not know this person's emotional state but I think it can be accurately said that he is dissatisfied with FOX's leadership...

That compels this clarification. Carlson was not fired from FOX, he was benched. He remains under contract and continues to be paid. Or, he was fired but he remains bound by the non-compete provisions of his contract. Either way, the practical effect is the same.

Obvious, yes. But necessary to point out for those who think the Carlson departure will end FOX.

FOX Ratings Question We know FOX suffered a ratings decline for the time slot Tucker Carlson occupied. On Monday there was about a 20% decline. On Tuesday the decline was about 50%. Has anyone seen numbers for Wed, Thur and Fri, or for the week as a whole? I have not been able to find any info...

As I said, Tucker Carlson is a big deal. FOX is bigger. For perspective, consider this: FOX market cap is about $17 billion. Carlson's net worth is $30 million. It has been a while since my wife and I were expediters. When we were in the business, we spent $250,000 to buy a really nice...

My answer is Trump crimes. I believe he actually committed the crimes for which he is being prosecuted or soon will be. This isn't about emotion. It's about justice.

FOX earnings for the previous quarter, Q1, 2023 will be announced on May 9. Carlson was employed by FOX that entire quarter, so the Carlson departure will have there will be no effect on Q1 earnings because Carlson was still there . Carlson's last show was Friday, April 21, 2023, just three...

Millions of Democrats are with you, cheering on the decline of FOX News.

I try to guard against phony narratives. That's why I usually do not cite news stories that rely on unnamed sources. And with any news story, I look for facts that are objectively verifiable. For example, the news was that Trump was recently arrested. That was verifiable by the legal papers...
