Howard Lutnick's investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald is offering to buy the right to businesses tariff refunds, basically betting that the courts will overturn the tariffs.
Just played the Flexport Shipping Game. It's so easy to navigate and has real supply chain issues pop up. Nice and insightful. Would definitely recommend my fellow supply chain people to give it a try. See if you can become an Ocean Baron! 🚢
had a diet coke 30,000 feet above kansas today and thought the founding fathers would be so proud that we purchased kansas, conquered the skies, and invented a delicious caffeinated zero calorie beverage
Lessons Learned while building Flexport: The Video Game in 7 days for @joingauntletai
Just discovered that saying bad things about rail travel is an evergreen way to engagement bait. Plan accordingly.
April 2020 is the only remaining month in history where e-commerce as a % of retail sales is higher than it was for May of 2025. After 4 years of getting wiped out left and right, the online merchant has prevailed.
There have been plenty of terrorist attacked on trains but the government doesn’t impose highly invasive security checks on trains because they don’t care if train riders die.
As @rorysutherland says, instead of building high speed rail they should put great WiFi on the trains and hire the worlds best looking models to serve us champagne and we’d all wish the trains went slower.
Rail is best used for freight while humans should fly through the sky at 500 miles per hour because they value their time.

Lunch and learn in the @flexport Dallas office where a proud Croatian team member teaches the Texans about his country's glorious history in global trade.
President Trump announced on Truth Social that reciprocal tariffs take effect on August 1st but there is still no notice in the Code of Federal Regulations, and they can't take effect until that happens. The clock is ticking I wonder what they are waiting for?
Why though when they can just hire the executive team and license the IP?
