    The collapse of #walgreens has been unlike anything I've ever seen in big retail. It's down 24% today and has now lost 80% of its value in under 5 years. This is America's largest pharmacy chain .. with over 8,500 stores & more than 300,000 employees. Simply insane.

    Saw a teenager get snapped at walking through Newark Airport tonight for having his mask under his nose. Literally 10 feet away 40 unmasked adults were crammed at a bar laughing it up over drinks. We do realize the kids know what's going on, right?

    In 2009 the last incandescent light bulb factory in America shut down. It was in my high school hometown of Winchester, Virginia. About 280 people lost solid jobs so we could make so called "green" light bulbs in central China. 11,000 miles to ship stuff to back to America
