Summary
Live… from Washington… it’s The Best One Yet!
We performed live at DC’s wild Arlington Drafthouse. Some extra razzle dazzle & sprinkle dinkle — but our usual daily Takeaways you know & love.
#1. Despite a Slop Bowl Recession, Cava’s crushing Sweetgreen… And just launched a secret invite-only club.
#2. The F-35 fighter jet is the most expensive weapon in history… but disruption takes a lifetime.
#3. Gen Z is driving a Mall Renaissance… because they crave the bPhone era (“Before iPhone”).
Plus, the microwave, the robotaxi, GPS, even Silly Puddy… all funded by the government - DC’s CIA is the OG VC.
