The Best One Yet - 🚘 “I own a Waymo” — Toyota’s self-driving deal. Domino’s pizza paradox. The Year-Round Horror Economy.

Pizza explains the Trade War
 Delivery pizza is tariff-proof, but frozen pizza is recession-proof.

Waymo just partnered with Toyota for personal self-driving cars
 It’s the new robo-chauffeur.

Today is half-way to Halloween
 but “horror” has become a year-round industry.

Plus, instead of “can 100 men beat 1 gorilla,” we’re asking “can 100 men out-earn 1 gorilla?”
