Read quite a number of IT folks comment that a bill-pay failure was likely the root cause of this. Musk couldnât possibly be running out of cash at Twitter, could he? He did chase off a bunch of advertisers which probably hurt, but he also laid off a bunch of folks which should have saved money.
Dorsey did a lot of odd stuff, but he never ran out of cash and kept the lights on.
Crazy. No watmy he is cash strapped. The ad dollars lost arenât enough to sink them. The lack of knowledgeable employees however⊠that may be trouble
I am âI heard Bruce Hornsbyâs âEvery Little Kissâ on the way to the beach and rolled down the windows and turned it upâ years old today. I didnât sing along and bang the steering wheel rhythmically, however, so I still have some aging to do.
Driving to your compound in Montauk for the holiday?
How dare you? (Cape cod with the in-laws)
Over/ Under estimating Haney my dude
As far as I know, Haney has a three floor loft with park views in a pre-war on the UES and a compound in Montauk.
Itâs been a minute, but I remember loving the lobster rolls at a roadside restaurant near Orleans called the knack. And eating breakfast at a restaurant practically on the runway at the Chatham airport and watching people fly in for breakfast from Marthaâs Vineyard.
Always eat well around here. We are closer to the Bourne Bridge. Falmouth area. Unfortunately Iâve got blood work on the 12th and I want to fool my doctor into thinking Iâm eating healthy.
Hope everyone is enjoying some summer time with fam / friends. Or at least watching some Peach Jam at work.
Happy almost 4th everyone.
I did the same for my physical this morning. Then skipped work to go to the gym because Iâm a deranged individual that think hanging in a gym for 4 hrs is fun.
I did take a few work calls while there.
I was looking on Wimbledonâs website to find out when Danielle Collins plays her next match, and had to smile when I saw that this is her official picture:
#AlwaysAHoo
She won her first round match but Emma Navarro lost.
For anyone interested, Collinsâs round 2 match is starting now (ESPN+).
(I donât know what thread to put âHoos in pro tennisâ comments in)
Rough start for Collins 
And now rough for Bencic. A double fault at love 40âŠ
Collins has earned more than $6 million the last 5 1/2 years ⊠crazy for the current #52 in the world.
Why is that crazy? High or low? Compared to Ty, who is getting what, $5M/2-yr when itâs unclear if heâll play? Tennis is the ultimate meritocracy- win and get paid. But those earnings donât account for having to pay for coaches, trainers, travel, etc. all thatâs out of pocket. Itâs a pretty brutal grind to travel all over the globe through different time zones and have to keep an elite fitness and skill level to get paid. And itâs hard to sustain outside the top 75 or 100.
Agreed with @NorVaHoo. Found an interesting article that took a crack at estimating some of the financial aspects of pro tennis: Income realities of the pro tour (Part 1) â SigrĂșn
FiveThirtyEight also had a similar article a while back: Tennis Has An Income Inequality Problem | FiveThirtyEight
I liked this quote:
If youâre the 350th best man in the world at baseball, basketball, American football, ice hockey or soccer, youâre earning more than $500,000 each year, expenses paid. If youâre the 350th best man in tennis, youâre probably either falling into debt or getting help from a sponsor or parent.
Golf would be similar to tennis I assume.
Sure, makes sense. When you watch a baseball game, there are at least 20 and potentially as many 50 players involved. When you watch a tennis match, there are 2. The tennis match lasts half to 2/3 as long, so, the tennis players required to generate an hourâs worth of viewing content is around 1/15th what it is for baseball.
Which means the pool of interesting people to watch to get eyeballs in tennis can be a lot shallower than it is in baseball, and the number of people who need good compensation is a lot smaller. And thatâs entirely setting aside the specific economics of the sports.
