I had this issue big time in the mid-80s when I was in college. The rash covered my chest to back- I tried everything and it continued for months until I switched to Sure Regular Scent.

I’ve been using that ever since.

Having grown up outside of NOLA but living in the Atlanta metro for more than 30 years, the Atlanta metro has a ton of affluent and middle-class blacks that socio-economically fit with white suburban voters.

If that portion of the black voters can be swayed by a few percentage points, then that could change everything.

Last summer in Atlanta was one of the nicest ones in a long time. The crazy heat stayed way to our west.

I had family come in from NOLA and Texas for a couple of weeks last August just to escape the heat.

They were in disbelief how much cooler it was here. We could comfortably eat lunch and dinner outside.

Most summers, Atlanta is 10+ degrees cooler than NOLA, Houston and Dallas every day. The 1,000 feet of elevation doesn’t hurt.

I did it yesterday for the first time ever at 61 years old. No weighted vest.

I screwed up and thought it was 300 pushups and 200 squats, so I had to go add another 100 squats when I thought I was done.

I did it over about 1:45, and threw in some other exercises to break it up a bit.

I’ve never done more than 55 pull-ups in 1 day, so hitting 100 was a giant PR.

I do a good bit of pushups on a regular basis, so that was the easiest.

Check tickets to Asia from LA, SFO, & SEA and book that separately from OKC to the coast. You’ll find much cheaper fares.

I do the same thing from ATL to Europe. I check flights from NYC, BOS and MIA which are typically much cheaper Biz Class than ATL.

My Junior year and was sitting in the student section. Best Tiger Stadium memory of all time for me.

Get on Grindr, much easier.

The thing for Apple is that they’re in the media and entertainment space as a very small player at this point. Apple’s DNA is to be a major player in any market that they enter. Netflix, Amazon, all the legacy Hollywood studios, and even Google (YouTube) are eating their lunch.

If Apple wants to be one of the top entertainment brands, they can only do that quickly via acquisition.

Apple and Disney have a history together back to the Pixar acquisition times.

I’m not saying that this will happen, but I wouldn’t be shocked in the least if it does.

Worse than the woke part and purely from a financial perspective, Iger bet big on Disney+ and Chapick continued on that path. But, instead of charging a premium for their brand/content, they made the subscription price so low (to compete with the others) that all they did was chase subscribers.

Now, they have 150M global subscribers on Disney+, while losing $500M-$1B per Quarter on Disney+, while simultaneously gutting their linear business by reducing the number of channels that they had globally. They accelerated the demise of their cash cow to focus content and energy on an exclusive basis into Disney+.

When interviewed by CNBC, Iger said he had to turn it around but didn’t say how.

I’m in the media industry way on the backend technical services side, and none of my colleagues have ever seen anything like this.

My best guess is that Disney will be acquired, and Apple is the most likely buyer.

Drive from Auburn, AL to past Charlotte, NC on I-85 and it’s one giant and expanding industrial corridor, of course, including Atlanta.
