Seriously? You show up for work every day? Are you asking to be a door mat? Younger companies and leaders embrace more remote work, new study finds The companies most likely to let you work from home are the newest ones… or at least those helmed by the youngest leaders. According to a National Bureau of Economic Research working paper published last week, employees at companies founded after 2015 are roughly twice more likely to work from home than those at firms that got th

She's evil and gets the job done. What's not to like! The Notorious ‘Snow Queen’ Is Back at the Olympics With a Mysterious Teen Russian figure-skating coach Eteri Tutberidze upended the last Winter Games. Now her latest student, 18-year-old Adeliia Petrosian, could leave Milan with a medal By Louise Radnofsky and Georgi Kantchev, WSJ Feb. 18, 2026 MILAN—When a mysterious Russian teenage figure skater showed up at the Olympic ice rink, nobody was quite sure what to expect.

Well said brother! I love the way the European's booed us at the Olympic opening ceremony. Why? Because we told them to chip in for their own defense and ramp up their anemic economy. Sorry...too much truth telling. As for Greenland, it's to their and our benefit to have a massive US base there to protect their sorry ass. Suck it. Boris Johnson: Put Up or Put a Sock in It, Europe Continental leaders talk big about autonomy and independence from the U.S., but it’s all bluster

Praise Allah. OMG. I was sitting on pins and needles. My belief in the USA is restored. BTW, the Quad God should pay attention here. Dude...you haven't lost a skate in 2 1/2 years. Not kidding about that. She came back...you can to. USA, USA, USA...China sucks, China sucks, China sucks. Sorry, lost my head there for a second. Mikaela Shiffrin Skis to Olympic Redemption with Slalom Gold The American star ended her medal drought with a vintage performance in her best even

Words of wisdom. Walter Cronkite many years ago said to me, "Snitz don't think just write". I've taken that advice to heart. Sure I get the facts wrong but it's important to just let the rhetoric flow like water off a ducks's back. I literally need to shut my brain off when writing the Report. And most importantly, I never let the facts get in the way of a good story. The secret that explains the Quad God’s Olympic choke By Betsy McCaughey, NY Post Published Feb. 17, 2026,

These are great guildlines. Will the states adopt? Depends where? Places like Florida and Texas are already leaning in that direction. More permissive zoning laws, less red tape, more available land to build. Plus with all the new illegals in these states, a soon to be limitless pool of construction labor. Did I mention that along with high interest rates, the lack of skilled tradespeople is a major reason it's expensive to build. PS. I had Claude Ai dive in and produce

Ok, I'm going to come clean. I'm married. Great for me, for obvious reasons less great for Ms Snitz. I'm a pain in the ass...just kidding I'm absolutely wonderful. The point is I don't know squat about this since I haven't been in the market for 35+ years. Ok, let me mansplain dating. #1 it's a sweepstakes. Remember the HS quarterback or homecoming queen who everybody wanted to go out with? There some element of that going on (at least statistically I've read). People

So were these business or monkey business? In the case of Larry Summers, the appearance of impropriety did a real number of his career and stature in the business and political community. Great to see even a far left socialist douche bag like Chomsky was in the thick of it. Did I mention he is a sick hypocrite? Flowing Data Feb 17, 2026 With the most recent Epstein release, the Economist collaborated with the folks who work on Jmail to breakdown the many pages of email betwe

Zorah ran as a compassionate socialist, which means giving free sheet to folks who are underwater. That works until you raise taxes to the point where the wealthy and business flee the Big Apple. That's been happening for a decade and now the new Mayor is going to force more rats to flee a sinking ship. His approval ratings are going to follow the trajectory of Chicago Mayor Brandon.

An extremely well presented 15 minute overview of the region and it's history.

For years I was a loyal fan of the Colbert Report. Hilarious show. Then he sold out to the network and began pandering to the woke. Most importantly he stopped being funny. He became a self absorbed douchebag...zero humility. Then there's the fact that his show's ad revenue has dropped over 40% since 2018 (from about $121 million to $70 million). It's estimated that the Late Show which costs $100 million to produce loses about $40-$50 million per year. And he complains ab

You know what this means! Goldman Slacks is planning on doing some business with the Dark Lord. And I have a good shot being a new board member (if they can overlook my lack of expertise).

Next Monday begins a special economics column on the Report hosted by Milt Friedman. And don't give me all that bullcrap that he's dead. He's not dead to me! BTW: I trust Zuck not to let this stuff get out of hand. He gets a bad rap but is actually a pretty good guy. That is compared to Stalin. Meta patents AI that lets dead people post from the great beyond Meta’s latest patent outlines AI that could mimic dead users’ activity across Facebook and Instagram, but the comp

Really? Don't understand? Snitz will explain: There's a famous Norse saying, "there's no bad weather only bad clothing". These guys are tough...Viking tough. It's freezing, windy and there's no daylight. January for example averages 7 hours of lite per day in Oslo, Zero hours in Tromso. These guys are used to suffering. They don't care. They're carved out of granite. They don't channel kids into basketball, football or baseball. No, just clomping around with skis or skat

Just kidding. I'd never trust ChatGPT. Facebook knows you, loves you, understands you. Don't let your sister fix you up...that never works out. Quartz Media Feb 17, 2026 “Will you write my dating app bio?” used to be a favor you asked a friend. Now, it’s a platform feature. Facebook Dating will draft a version, Bumble will generate one, too, and Tinder will happily nudge the whole dating app experience toward something smoother, safer, and more swipeable. AI is being sold

Basically, most starve. Today about 70% make around $25,000/year as adjunct professors. They'd make more money as electricans. A lot more. Even tenured profs don't get paid much. Talk about a rough career. Sure I'm a tenured rocket scientist at MIT, but my real salary comes from being a hired gun for Space X. I also think most of my students are a bunch of whining coddled crybabies. While all this is going down, the cost of a college degree has spiraled due to ramped admin

BTW...I'm feeling a little nauseous about owning a home in Illinois. Most are lying.

I fired up Claude Ai to calculate the probability that you might suffer an investment loss (S&P 500 index fund for example). If you're only investing for one year, the chance of losing money is about 25%, If you're investing for 5 years the chance drops to 12.5%. By 10 years the chance drops to 6%. Arithmetically speaking, equity investing is risky in the short term, but not necessarily in the long term.
