Summary
After the surprise attack from Hamas, Israel is responding with punishing economics — It’s escalating its blockade on the Gaza Strip to a siege.
The biggest potato company in America? It’s $13B Lamb & Weston, and its potato stock is at an all time high because we’re ordering more fries — Call it the French Fry index: The purest measurement of consumer confidence.
And the biggest VC fundraise of the year is $1.7B for a parking lot — Metropolis is using billions to techify 3,300 parking garages (just 1 problem: But garage owners).
