Show Notes

In this episode: 

  • Quibi not doing so well now... We predicted that!
  • Starbucks asking landlords for rent concessions over the next 12 months after losing almost $1B in sales during the pandemic, and why that's a good move for them.
  • Facebook paying media companies ad revenue share?  Australia thinks is fair... we don't.
  • Movie theaters boycotting Universal Pictures.  Good luck with that!
  • Uncertainty about summer and overall reopening of businesses.  Nobody knows what they can or cannot do.
  • Stock Market starting to react to the crisis.  Will we revisit March's bottom?
  • Sports coming back?  UFC did last week.  NASCAR and Golf are next.  Basketball? NFL? MLB? Auto Racing?
  • California Colleges to go online for the opening semester.  Teaser for next week.
  • Strange rules for LA County businesses and beaches
  • Should we send a bill to China and deduct stimulus money from our debt?.  We didn't get to this but good food for thought.
What do you think?  Take a listen and let us know your thoughts.
