A highlight from A Flurry of Amicus Briefs in Coinbase vs. SEC

"Welcome back to The Breakdown with me and LW. It's a daily podcast on macro, Bitcoin and the big picture power shifts remaking our world. What's going on, guys? It is Monday, August 14th, and today we are talking about a wild set of amicus briefs filed in the Coinbase against SEC case. Before we get into that, however, if you are enjoying The Breakdown, please go subscribe to it, give it a rating, give it a review. Or if you want to dive deeper into the conversation, come join us on the Breakers Discord. You can find a link in the show notes or go to bit .ly slash breakdown pod. All right, friends. Well, today, as I said, the main focus of the show is a slew of amicus briefs filed in the Coinbase case at the very end of last week. But first, a quick update in the SPF saga. Now, I'm sure all of you guys are at least a little bit familiar with what happened at this point, but let's present it for completeness. TLDR, after months of playing fast and loose with bail conditions, Sam has been sent to jail to await his trial. Now, the big catalyst for this was, of course, last month's leaking parts of former Alameda CEO Carolyn Ellison's journal to The New York Times. Carolyn was the CEO of Alameda during the final months of operations, was at times Sam's girlfriend, and will also be a key witness in Sam's trial. Now, SPF had said through lawyers that he was merely trying to, quote, give his side of the story. This is something that he has done a lot of, apparently. Indeed, he has notched up over 100 phone calls with one New York Times journalist in particular, and that's just one of the many reporters that he has been in touch with. The prosecutor argued effectively that this was indirect witness tampering. They said that even though there hadn't been an overt communication with Ellison, the intention was clear, stating, I think the fact the defendant was more subtle in his methods than a mobster doesn't mean it was benign. Now, the judge ultimately sided with the DOJ, finding that Sam's conduct was closer to witness intimidation than constitutionally protected public defense. During the hearing on Friday, the judge said Sam had been willing to, quote, risk crossing the line in an effort to get right up to the line wherever it is. Of Ellison's writings, which Sam shared, the judge said, The documents are in part personal and intimate. They are personally oriented, not business oriented. They are something that someone who had been in a relationship would be unlikely to share with anyone except to hurt and frighten the subject. Ultimately, the judge said, My conclusion is there is probable cause to believe the defendant has attempted to tamper with witnesses at least twice. There is a reputable presumption that there is no set of conditions that will ensure Bankman -Fried will not be a danger. So the other witness tampering attempt that the judge was referring to came shortly after Sam's arrest and release on bail when he had reached out to former FTX U .S. General Counsel Ryan Miller, suggesting that they stay in touch, coordinate communications, etc. Sam had also previously broken bail conditions when he had used the VPN to access the Internet, something that he claimed was just to watch the NFL playoffs, which very few people bought as totally true. Part of Sam's argument for remaining out of jail had been that incarceration would make it more difficult for him to prepare his defense. Prior to locking Sam up, the judge ensured that he would have access to a laptop to continue his trial preparation, which it seems like is just about the only good thing about the facility that he is on his way to. The judge said, I am focused on the possibility that he will be detained at the MDC, not on anyone's list of five -star facilities. That said, I understand he could have a dedicated laptop at the MDC 9, 10, 11 hours a day. Sam's trial is set to begin on October 2nd. His legal team has, of course, appealed the decision to revoke his bail and requested that he remain on house arrest pending appeal, but were denied on that motion. Former journalist Dan Nguyen really captured, I think, the sensibilities of the entire Twitter sphere when he wrote, SPF got one of the sweetest bail deals in history, and all he had to do was chill at his parents' Stanford home, play with the new dog his parents bought for him, and not use a VPN to secretly commit more crimes on the Internet, and yet, clown face emoji. Anyways, guys, just another gross chapter in a bad story. But with that, let's move on to something much more positive. On Friday, Blockchain Association Chief Policy Officer J. Chivinsky wrote, Today is a fun day. The deadline for amicus briefs on Coinbase's motion for judgment on the pleadings of the SEC's enforcement action. I expect to see many excellent briefs on many different issues. They should start hitting the docket soon. And indeed, hit they did. On Friday, a slew of briefs were filed in support of Coinbase's motion to dismiss the SEC's lawsuit. Now, most crypto lawsuits from the SEC have seen numerous amicus or friend -of -the -court briefs filed, but the Coinbase lawsuit attracted more attention from the legal community than usual. The Coinbase motion for judgment on the pleadings was supported by venture firms Paradigm and A16Z, who filed a joint brief, crypto lobbyists including the Blockchain Association, the Chamber for Digital Commerce and the DeFi Education Fund, and perhaps most notable were briefs from Senator Cynthia Lummis, as well as a group of six legal scholars. Coinbase is, of course, being sued for offering the sale of unregistered securities. The SEC's lawsuit hinges on the claim that 13 tokens offered on Coinbase's centralized exchange are securities. In addition to alleging that the main trading venue requires registration as a securities exchange, the SEC also alleges that Coinbase's self -hosted wallet is an unregistered securities brokerage and clearing agency. Finally, the lawsuit also alleged that Coinbase's staking product is a securities offering. As usual, all of these claims rely on the Howey Test, which is a Supreme Court test to determine when a transaction is deemed to be the sale of an investment contract. Coinbase's argument is that none of the tokens they offer fully satisfy the test, and as such, the lawsuit should be thrown out without the court hearing any further facts of the case. In addition, Coinbase is arguing that the SEC has attempted to expand its jurisdiction beyond the authority it was granted by Congress. This argument, as we have discussed, is brought under the Major Questions Doctrine, which is a relatively recent legal doctrine put forward by the Supreme Court. The Major Questions Doctrine holds that administrative agencies must have explicit authority from Congress to oversee an industry which forms a major part of the U .S. economy. So now let's go through the set of different briefs kind of organized in the context that they came in. We'll start with the VC and lobbyist briefs. The joint brief from Paradigm and A16Z focused extensively on the damage that could be done to the industry if the SEC's view of the law was held to be correct. They wrote, The brief noted that the SEC claimed crypto tokens themselves embody the terms of an investment contract, so continued to carry a classification as securities into the secondary markets long after their initial sale. This approach was rejected in the recent Ripple case, but remains contentious among federal court judges. The brief warned that allowing the SEC to take this approach could extend their reach into an endless array of commonly sold assets including fine art, classic cars, and vintage wines. Now, a group of crypto lobbyists led by the Blockchain Association said in their brief that the SEC seeks to cast aside the nearly century -old understanding of an investment contract and usurp Congress's authority to decide how to regulate a burgeoning industry. They claimed that the statutory text, history, precedent, and common sense all foreclosed the SEC's attempt to rewrite the definition of investment contract to reach digital asset sales unaccompanied by any ongoing contractual obligations. In a Twitter thread discussing the joint brief, G. Kim, the General Counsel at the Crypto Council for Innovation, wrote, The SEC is trying to short -circuit the legislative process and seize the power to resolve questions of massive economic and political importance by presenting its flawed interpretation in enforcement actions. The Chamber of Digital Commerce echoed their fellow lobbyists in making the point that the SEC is exceeding their authority and using inappropriate methods to bring the crypto industry to heel. They wrote that the SEC is choosing to use the blunt and unpredictable tool of enforcement proceedings to the exclusion of all other methods. They characterized the lawsuit as Coinbase's turn on the SEC's roulette wheel. Now, the DeFi Education Fund took a different approach, focusing their brief on the technical side of the case and linking the underlying functionality of crypto products to the legal arguments. The DeFi lobbyist explained that both Coinbase's staking service and wallet are software products rather than regulated financial service products. They argued that a decision in favor of the SEC's overly expansive theories related to this software application would have a chilling effect on the developers and service providers that innovate in DeFi and consequently the users of this technology. With regard to the wallet, they pointed out that Coinbase does not route orders nor take control of customer assets, so it's difficult to see how they could be viewed as a broker in that context. In discussing staking, they noted that while Coinbase administers the validators which deliver staking rewards to customers, their, quote, function is squarely ministerial as an IT service provider. Put another way, Coinbase provides an IT product that leads to a financial reward, but that reward stems from the crypto protocols themselves rather than from Coinbase's efforts. Now, maybe the most striking brief in support of Coinbase was co -signed by not one but six law professors with expertise in securities law. This includes experts from UCLA, Boston University, Fordham Law School, Widener University, the University of Chicago Law School, and Yale Law School. And importantly, this isn't a group of outspokenly crypto -friendly professors. Between them, this group has written multiple textbooks and authored countless academic papers. Some of them quite literally wrote the book on securities law. Their brief focuses on the definition of the term investment contract and argues that it has a much more limited scope than the SEC seems to think. A key part of the SEC's crypto lawsuits has been the idea that a crypto token is one part of an overall investment scheme which does not require a formal contract between the parties. This would mean that a token could be considered a security even when the issuer doesn't make any promises to holders and doesn't take any direct investment from purchasers. The professors rejected this as ignorant of the history of securities law. Their opinion is that the Securities Act of 1933 used the very well -established language of investment contract to refer specifically to situations where, quote, the investor receives, in exchange for an investment, a contractual undertaking or right to an enterprise's income, profits, or assets. They argued that this definition of an investment contract had been present in state legislation and cases leading up to the passing of federal regulation in 1933. They added that this definition has been consistently used by the courts to decide lawsuits following Howey to this day. This historical argument flies in the face of SEC briefs, which have often discarded state legislation and cases prior to 1933 as irrelevant. The legal scholars wrote that nowhere in the Howey decision does the Supreme Court, quote, suggest that it was doing away with the court textual and historical anchor of the statutory term investment contract, i .e. contractual undertakings. Rather, Howey's reference to a scheme or transaction simply reflected the instruction that courts should consider the economic reality of a business venture to determine whether an investment contract exists. The law professors suggested that by agreeing with the SEC's definition of an investment contract, the court would be going against almost a century of case law. They urged that, quote, The court should adhere to the settled meaning of the term, consistently applied by the state courts interpreting state blue sky laws, as well as by the federal appellate courts before and since Howey. Under that settled meaning, an investment contract requires contractual undertakings to deliver future value, reflecting the income, profits, or assets of a business. Paradigm policy director Justin Slaughter writes, It takes real skill to so mismanage the situation that you have serious institutionalists like Professors Macy and Hammermesh filing amici briefs against the SEC in an enforcement case. This case is on track to blow up the SEC's powers and maybe weaken agency powers across the board. That people invested in the current securities regime are still siding against the current SEC position speaks volumes. Finally, Senator Cynthia Lummis has also filed an amicus brief addressing the question of whether the SEC has overreached its authority. Lummis began her brief by drawing the court's attention to the numerous bipartisan efforts currently underway in Congress to craft regulations for the crypto industry. She wrote that she, Has a special interest in upholding the Constitution's separation of powers by ensuring that federal administrative agencies do not exceed the authority conferred upon them or encroach upon Congress's ongoing legislative efforts. Amicus believes that the SEC's approach to enforcement in this case, and in the crypto asset industry more broadly, contravenes that separation of powers. Now given that the cornerstone of any major questions doctrine argument is that an administrative agency is exceeding the powers granted to it by Congress, it seems extremely relevant to be told by a sitting US Senator that they believe this to be the case. Lummis continued, When Congress created the SEC to regulate securities markets, it did not grant the SEC power to reimagine the definition of securities to expand the agency's sphere of influence into other asset classes or to encroach on other agencies and regulatory schemes. The SEC's attempt to shoehorn an entire new class of assets into the existing definition of a security and thereby add to the definition enumerated by Congress exceeds the SEC's authority, encroaches on Congress's lawmaking, and contravenes the separation of powers. Put simply, she said, Basically, the brief is an attempt to provide evidence to the court that Congress is not content with the status quo when it comes to crypto regulation. Much of the brief describes the various ongoing legislative efforts. And after outlining these bills, Lummis writes, The multitude of interests at stake require a holistic approach beyond the scope of a single agency. Ultimately, she says, Lummis urged the court to, Now, I think where most of the analysis lands, holding aside deep legal minutiae, which obviously will become very important in terms of how the case actually resolves, is from a sentiment shift it feels to people, of course, outside observers, that this is going to be a hard one for the SEC. Algorithmic trading firm CEO Xi Zhen writes, Now, I would never go that far given that Let's hope that these friends of the court are correct. Appreciate you guys listening as always. Until next time, be safe and take care of each other. Peace.

"macy" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York

"Denise Pellegrini and here's a thought you don't often hear. Are we actually better off than we think as consumers? Well, that's the word from Jonathan Gallo. He's had a quantitative research and also chief U.S. equity strategist over at Credit Suisse. Just think about what the consumer is facing last year, wages went up three to 4%, but inflation, CPI averaged 8. So the average American went to the store, got a raise and realized it didn't go as far as he wanted. This year, he's getting a raise of 5 to 6% if you're retiring, your cost of living adjustment on your social security or government pension is up 8%, but inflation is expected to be under 3% at the end of the year. So the consumer is going to feel surprisingly empowered in this environment because wages are running hotter than inflation where they will be throughout the course of the year. The other thing is with jobs abundant, you have this really golden environment for consumers. And that was Jonathan Gallup head of quantitative research and also chief U.S. equity strategist over at Credit Suisse. And if you want to put your finger on the pulse of consumers, probably no better way to do it. When you think about it, then to look at how retailers are doing at this moment. Whole paradigm reporting in the coming week is a matter of fact, including Costco Nordstrom target Macy's Dollar Tree just to name a few. And we did get that blowout quarterly report from Walmart, the world's largest retailer. It also offered a kind of cautious look. And here's Walmart CFO, John David Rainey about all that. With Bloomberg's Kaley Leiden's and guy Johnson. Well, there's a lot that we don't know about the economy as we're sitting here just a couple of weeks into the fiscal year for us. We had a really strong fourth quarter where we grew the top line over 8% and saw adjusted operating income growth of north of 6% and performed a lot better than we expected at the beginning of the quarter. And so you're seeing that our value proposition is certainly resonating with consumers right now. But there's a lot of macro uncertainty. And as we, as we look across the consumers across the globe, but certainly here in the U.S., balance sheets are getting thinner, you're seeing savings rates decline. And we really haven't been in a position where we've seen the fed Titan at this rate. And so as we look forward and give guidance for the full year, we're adopting a cautious outlook and we want to make sure that we're responsive to whatever environment that we're going to find ourselves in. This is fascinating because I hear this story from so many companies. And basically what they're saying is, actually, we're okay right now. Things are working. We've just had a great quarter. But we keep hearing about all these macro factors that we need to worry about. And as a result of which we don't know what's going to happen, but at the moment, we're fine. Is that how you would describe your story here at the moment? You kind of listen to people like us talking about the macro headwinds. You listen to what the fed is saying, you look at the data. And you see risks there. But at the moment, that is not what you're seeing in terms of your footfall in your business. Is that how you would describe it? I think it's fair to say that I characterize it maybe slightly differently in that. We've seen maybe even been surprised by the resilience of the consumer and consumer spending. They've been more discerning in this environment, more selective when they're shopping, looking for those discounted price points, looking for when things go on sale to buy larger ticket items. And they've been spending more of their disposable income on things like food and gas. And how long that last is anyone's anyone could probably better answer than me. But that's partly why we have a cautious Alec for the year because we simply don't know what we don't know right now. Well, on the subject of that consumer behavior, something else that we have seen in that Walmart has benefited from is those at the higher end of the income scale trading down, if you will, and shopping at lower cost retailers, how much of that do you expect to retain? How do you retain it? Well, again, we're seeing that our value proposition is resonating with consumers. If you were to go back a couple of quarters, we've been seeing consistent share gain, particularly in the area of food and consumables. And two quarters ago, probably 70 to 80% of that share gain was coming from households that had income north of a $100,000. What we've seen in the most recent quarter is that we've actually had share gain from some of the lower and middle income buckets as well. And so as these consumers are being more discerning, as they're looking for value. And importantly, in a world where convenience really matters, our value proposition is resonating with them. John, do you think that? Do you think that's going to be able to continue? The hard discounters must be pushing you pressing you pretty hard. At the bottom end, I appreciate that you're bringing new consumers into the top. But is the risk that you lose them at the bottom to the hard discounters? Well, if you go back last year, certainly with some of the supply chain issues, you saw a very competitive environment with respect to markdowns. We at Walmart are in a much better position with our inventory right now. And so I think relative to last year, you're probably see less markdowns on the margin at least. But again, we're a company that does well when the consumers pocketbook is tight and they're looking for value, but we're also a company that does really well in good times. As we're continuing to evolve and expand our business into a lot of other initiatives that go far beyond just simply being a retailer that people go to with price. One of the data points that we highlighted on the call is that consumer mindshare scores are consumer sentiment. We actually score as high for convenience now or almost as high for convenience as we do for price. And that was Walmart CFO John David Rainey, with Bloomberg's Kaylee lines and guide Johnson. And we will be getting a quarterly report from Lowe's this coming week as well. Rival Home Depot reported this past week. It didn't do so hot, but Bill Smith found her chair and CIO of sweet capital tells Kayleigh he is bullish on Walmart. And even the beaten down Home Depot. There's 92 million millennials that are forming households and are engaging the kind of spending that are that's necessity based. And as soon as you go to necessities, that's really good for Walmart and ultimately for Home Depot. Home Depot's problem is very simple. It's a category that's going to do really well over the next ten years, but is temporarily negatively impacted by what the fed is doing with tightening. The stock market is designed to move money from impatient people to patient people. And if you're in this market right now and want to make a lot of money in 6 months, you're in trouble because this market is designed to punish the sins of the bull market that came before this. Bill, you mentioned their Home Depot having a fed problem essentially because you are seeing the effect of tightening showing up in the housing market, therefore there's less DIY spending, but Home Depot also has a labor problem. I mean, what do you make of the $1 billion they say they're going to have to pay to increase wages to get people in the stores to serve customers? No, that's not a labor problem. That is reality. The reality is we're in an inflation cycle. Welcome to the 1970s. You had $7 trillion worth of federal government borrowing. Get monetized. And you're leaving the poor Federal Reserve to try to solve a problem

"And what they said, and I'm not saying this is necessarily true. But what they said is all of you are the same. You have about the same amount of return. You have underwrite about the same way, like to them in their own perspective, all of this indicators were the same. All of the coaches were the same. All of the life coaches, the mentors, the physical coaches, the nutrition coaches, whoever you are listening and what you do, you got that person thinking, oh, they're all the same. They all teach me macros. They all teach me exercise. They all teach me whatever, but then they're going to say, but who am I similar to? And so these two guys, the weirdest thing they decided to put a hundred grand with me each or maybe one of them was like 50, but one of them wanted to put a hundred grand with me instead of all of these other people that were also good. Just simply because I mountain biked. And he only knew that a mountain bike because I did that BRT and we had that. Okay, now let's talk about what is matching and mirroring. Matching and mirroring would basically be you're not going to get a real, it's not going to be easy for yamiche to take somebody from loving the stock market, for example. To investing with you, if you are different from them, if you're saying you're this type of person, I'm this type of person, then they're going to be like, yeah, she doesn't even get me. She doesn't understand me. Her, she, I've been making money in my stock market. They might say. They might say I've been doing this for 30 years and now I've got like a million bucks there, or a half a million or any other number. And so who is she to tell me that this doesn't work? Right? But if we, as we're interviewing that person, we've got to find a way to relate to them by saying something like all that's great that you do the stock market. How long have you been doing that and start to show the benefit of what they're already doing? And in a very gentle, careful way, you can say that you might want to diversify that. You might want to diversify it because not sure if the stock market is always going to go up and maybe there's other things, other ways for you to make sure that you're making that money. I might suggest doing something that I do. I also do apartment syndication, for example, or I also do this, and you just say, we found some pretty strong returns with some great collateral and very, very steady. And as you share this, it can help them decide maybe I should put a little bit of my money there. But you kind of got to compliment what they're already doing instead of dismiss what they're already doing. What you're doing, because then now we're now we're in an argument. Now we're in a place where we don't see eye to eye. You got to start by matching what they're doing, mirroring how they are, what they're talking about, how they feel about something. Let them be excited about the stock market that they're already doing. And let them know that they could also do these other things, too. Using the last few words, some people call it the last three words. So tell me what you had for breakfast, Macy, and I'll use these last three words against you somehow. I think all right, so

Mall of America Security Asked Man to Remove 'Jesus Saves' Shirt

"Ball policy forbids picketing demonstrating soliciting protesting or petitioning on the premises of the mall of America. They need to rename the ball. I mean, if you're not gonna let somebody walk around the ball, wearing a Jesus saves T-shirt or remember back in, I remember back in the 90s, it was all the rage in the Christian churches to have the clever messages in the T-shirt, so it would be like a Budweiser can, but it wouldn't be a Budweiser cannon, it actually said be wiser instead of okay, maybe that's only the baptist church tradition. So anyway, I mean, if they're gonna do that, they may as well just rename that instead of the mall of American, maybe the ball of Fallujah. Or the ball of Baghdad, so anyway, they're given the guide the what for and telling him that he can not wear that shirt in the mall. The man the security guard told the man, I'm giving you a couple of options. You can either take your shirt off and you can go to Macy's and you can do your shopping or you could leave them all. Well, those don't sell life very good options. Anyway, they went back and forth and it turns out that the mall said they finally did allow them in to continue his shopping. But a lot of Christians around the country, this story is sort of gone viral on social media. And a lot of Christians are very offended by this. And they say there's no way this should be happening in America. The guy has a right to free speech to where that shirt. And freedom of religion to practice his faith in the public place. Yes, but I will say that. I mean, the mall of America is not a public place. It's a private mall. People are allowed to go and shop there, but again, I just don't see what's terribly offensive about the T-shirt.

"A time like this, I want to turn to the economy because market was up most on Monday and I was looking at it saying, you know what? It just doesn't make any sense. It really doesn't, and then sure enough, in the last hour of trading, we wound up losing over a hundred points on the Dow, which did actually make sense. And the reason why losses make sense at a time like this is because there's more where that came from. If you know what I mean. Look, we've got a very troubled economy right now. We've got lots of inflation that is not going to go away. We've got a Federal Reserve that now is coming out a couple of members of the fed actually said today a couple of fed board governors rates would be above 5% for a long time, already we're seeing an increase in the number of layoffs in the news Goldman Sachs prominent financial firm saying that it's going to slash 3200 jobs. That's a lot that's a pretty big deal because it's anticipating these really challenging times in 2023. You have Amazon, laying off 18,000, you have Macy's closing stores. I mean, look all the handwriting is there. It should, politically, be setting the Republican Party up for home run in 2024 because Americans are going to be kind of desperate by that point for change for something better. However, I would constant this. It's really important that the Republican Party get its act together. It's really important that these kinks get worked out in the here and now, and we can't actually wait until the 11th hour in 2024. Joe Biden is running again he made that very clear he had time apparently to think on his fancy vacation in the Caribbean at a donor's home that he was staying at. I suspect the Democrat party may be somewhat relieved at this because their options were looking so good. I mean, Kamala Harris, you just can't put her out there. I'm telling you anyone can beat Kamala Harris.

Shopping Malls (MM #4048)

"The NASA minute. With Kevin mason. The way we shop is changed so much over the years. In my younger years, it was going to the shopping center with all the parking spaces and you'd basically have to go from store to store outside in the cold, exposed to the elements in the late 60s into the 70s and 80s, the shopping mall became the big thing, but as time wore on, people began to turn away from the shopping mall. When I started coming to national in the 1980s, the shopping malls that were here are pretty much all closed now. But recently, the one that used to be the big daddy of them all here in Nashville, which closed down in the early 2000s, has been bought by the city. And what once was Hickory hollow mall then became global mall at the crossings, is now going to become, well, a little bit of everything. There will be a school in the former Macy's. Part of them all will become part of Vanderbilt university's medical center. And who knows what else is going to be? I wonder what happened to the shopping mall and why it was so important for such a short time and then gone almost as quickly. The mall culture of the 1980s and 90s is now long gone. And sometimes when you try to tell young people about it, they kind of look at you and stare. They don't quite understand.

So del taco these second largest mexican american quick service restaurant chain in terms of number restores in the us report third. Quarter results And you know there are pretty good growth for this company. A system wide their comp sales Were up two percents. The company owned restaurants a both about the same. A franchises doing a little bit better. Total one hundred twenty four million dollars which is three percent more than the third quarter last year. We're getting to the point. We can actually compare year over year without that pandemic second quarter of twenty twenty And so you know they're pretty decent quarter you know modest growth revenues up about three percent year over year but i thought was interesting was a conversation on the conference. Call where the chief financial officer steven break talked about rising labor costs and because the the this restaurant in particular is a lot of stores in california but the the increase in the minimum wage in california or there are efforts afoot to trying to raise minimum wage nationally. That haven't gone anywhere in congress yet but the the the pulling up of wages in california's actually driving this chain kind of expect the rest of the country that released as far as they are paying minimum wage is also going to get to that california mandated wage fifteen dollars an hour which starts in january. Listen to steal break of del taco. That's that's a long term basis. Is you know average wage You know with the california footprints. We are on a path towards fifteen dollars an hour where minimum wage nate's in california starting january one just a few months now the fact that fifteen hundred level within the pain through twenty twenty three so these guys see higher ways.

Or how do you hate here described. Well i mean basically we're in the adult entertainment business and restaurants but really bars and restaurants. We use entertainment to draw our customers. Sometimes it's You know through our You know waste waitstaff in their uniforms in that At the restaurant side or are topless or nude entertainment debt are adult venues so the businesses grown i last i looked at maybe ten years ago republic. For a long time we've been since nineteen ninety-five. Yeah and it's it's big. It's i didn't really. I didn't think it was gonna get this big. I didn't think i didn't think there was that many acquisition opportunities or chances to open up new stores. If you wanna calls right well with the with the clubs there's about twenty five hundred clubs in the. Us we own well. We're hoping to close our big acquisition monday at eleven to forty nine locations. So i mean we're still very small part of twenty five hundred. There's a lot of growth opportunities in the club side. The restaurant side. I mean we can build around up a restaurant. So that's that's easy to grow. I'll hold the restaurant conversation. 'cause i think that was a of the story of them. I'm not that smart. But i want to get to that but let's talk about the the adult entertainment places. I call him strip joints. I've isn't a pejorative term. I don't know they could call everything. Gentlemen clubs Strip clubs to explain to me how that business works. Like if i look at it just from a business standpoint of four wall. 'cause like who works. Who doesn't work there. Who's a contractor. What's the know. I mean it depends in what market. We're in some some some marcus entertainers our employees. Some they're independent. Contractors of everyone else there is basically An employee the bartenders. The managers the wait staff deejays house. Moms all those people are on on chloe's are how many typically in a in a location our friends on the size of i mean if you go to say tutsies in miami which is a seventy four thousand square foot facility. We have In any given year five hundred employees or so the work through were seventy or how big seventy. Four thousand vincent expanding. It's the size of costco actually used to be. Bj's wholesale southeastern distribution center. We own the property. Three hundred eighty five thousand square feet under roof. Yes the clubs. Portion is seventy four thousand. So what that's probably an outlier though. What your typical size of typical is probably twelve to fifteen thousand square feet. Typically you know you have in a given a given month Waitstaff and that. You'll have one hundred under so employees and then the eight hundred independent contractors in okay And so what's the forecast. What's it cost to develop as a site like treating it like a restaurant or we can't really develop anymore. it's very difficult so basically where growth is through acquisition of existing The licensor very difficult to licensing plan build the cities of zoned. Everything into what. I call not economically viable for example. Go build in houston and the houston ship channel. The whole ship channel is zoned for all us. Great you know. I guess you need about sixty foot stilts to were there and you got to watch out for the big ships coming by zam flow and. I don't know how anybody's going to get there. But that's not their problem they just have to have certain landmasses You know set for adult use us. That's what they chose. And you you mentioned texas you very big in texas to when i look at your ten k. The biggest place where you operate. Yes little bit outside of their. You have something new york something somewhere in illinois but mostly texas a little bit florida right. Yeah florida taxes. Minneapolis too big market. Boris new york So again zoning seems to be a part of the nautical reference against remote for you guys because you get a store in a certain place because you get a club in a certain replace competitors kind of just can't come in because they aren't zoned to be any else exactly are they don't mean if they've they find the right zoning than they've got to also have sensitive uses so you can't be within a thousand feet of our club you can't be within a thousand feet of a school at.

That are going to be there all pack together but it's interesting though the stuff that will come down on and say you can't college football you don't you know It's irresponsible as irresponsible. But then they had that Concert in the park in central park in new york. And you never heard anybody coming down at all on the amount of people that were hanging out in central park that that concert i saw people coming down on it but it got cancelled before the second night could happen. Because of the storm or lollapalooza. They didn't lollapalooza proof of vaccination to buy the ticket and it turned out that it wasn't a Wasn't a super spreader. So i mean that's that's good news. I mean i look at the positives of this and hopefully that we can turn a corner and people can get back to daily life. Yeah the concert promotion. The concert promoters are all asking for proof of vaccination or cova negative test that morning to get in and i don't think that was the case for college football. That's the difference. Are you going to the game on sunday. I'm not sure. I have a ticket. But i kinda i mean. I'm not sure what i'm gonna do yet. 'cause you're in michigan stadium. You're literally sitting on people's laps. It is so jam packed in there. But you're at the renaissance festival hang his outdoors and spread out. You're not it's not. It's not the same at all. So i feel weird in their on regular days because people are coughing all over each other so i haven't decided yet. Can i have your tickets. I'll take it. I'll hold onto a wait and see it's gonna be drunken game day decision all right. Well if you don't go give me enough time to be able to get to ann arbor forty minutes from my house all right.

The Long History of Credit

The Long History of Credit

"Idea of credit has a very long history. the code of hammurabi one of the oldest systems of laws in the world has sections on how to deal with credit it put maximum interest rates on loans of grain and silver credit. Was something that was usually done in a very personal basis. The ability to extend credit to someone was dependent upon your relationship with them and your trust in them. In fact the word credit comes from middle french and it was originally used to mean belief or faith. If you extend credit to someone it is literally a belief in the ability of that person to pay you back. This is the way the credit worked for centuries. An individual store would extend credit to individual customers based on their relationship and trust this sort of system might still exist someplace like a pub or a bar where regular might a tab that they pay at the end of the month. The system of individual lines of credit being established for individual customers by individual businesses was very inefficient. The process of making credit more efficient was begun in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries with major department stores like macy's wanamaker's their wealthiest customers didn't wanna handle money directly so they were given paper cards or brass tokens that they could present at checkout. The cashier would then make note of the purchases and a customer would then get a statement at the end of the month. This form of credit wasn't intended to be alone. Like many credit cards are today. The amount had to be paid in full at the end of every month. What this system had over previous systems is that the individual cashier didn't need to know the person who presented the token the store would issue the token and any employee could then accept it in one thousand nine hundred eighty five. The charger plate system was unveiled by the charger plate. Group out of new york. It was a rectangular metallic plate. That was about the size of a dog tag and like a dog tag. It had embossed letters showing the name and address of the customer. In most cases the metal plates were kept at the store rather than enhance the customer. They were then pulled out when the customer made a purchase. This certainly made processing paperwork. Easier and again. It wasn't advance but the system still only worked at a single store.

Are You a Shock-Absorber in Relationships?

CLEANING UP THE MENTAL MESS with Dr. Caroline Leaf

Are You a Shock-Absorber in Relationships?

"And we know shock absorbers in caused to absorb the bumps and things that when you're when you drive across the bump with something horrors and shake and chat and the bid of the shock. Absorption more comfortable the dry and so they are put the for their particular purpose but as humans brains bodies and minds are second. Neurobiology is not designed to be constantly shock absorbing for other people to bring a shock. Absorber is basically trying to always avoid conflict. Mediate keep the peace try. And almost like did not lead the consequences of other people's actions Fixture and impacts you all kinds of reasons so our explain it and then we're going to talk about how to manage it so i think that all of us actually shock absorb on occasion and i don't think it's a bad thing actually to do a little bit of shock absorbing. I think it's actually very natural that we want to try and be someone in pain. We see toxic situation. We don't talk situation not because we don't the negative but because we are wired for love and we have this optimism bias on neural biology with wear jeans function the way our mind brain connection functions the whole mind brain body linked is all toward survival. It's towards love. It's towards restoring balance. It's towards getting macy. Mind working with wise mine so win. Something is off when the balance is off when a person's toxic when they're being manipulative win being filled win this conflict arising we are drawn to. They're not to go back because the negative but we don't because there is an important me trying to fix it. We're trying to change the situation. We try to help the person so good. Wide full of nature draws us in to bed to be a shock absorber on occasion and we just go to distinguish between between being a shock absorber and a peacemaker so a peacemaker is someone who will try to keep the peace as the word says but a true peacemaker is not going to avoid conflict would take things on themselves just to just to make sure that that they isn't gonna be conflict. A peacemaker will allow people to experience. The consequences will be supported through the process to try and see the process through but a true peacemaker recognizes. That you can't change someone you can't fix someone but you can certainly support someone to help them to process what they're going through

If I had my life, we'll talk about that a little bit. But did you always want to be an entrepreneur? I think I was born to be an entrepreneur. Honestly, my mother was an entrepreneur. When I was growing up. She had a business with her girlfriends. It was called baskets of joy. And so when I was a kid, they make baskets. They did. They made baskets and they had a joy while doing it on. And so people would ask me as a toddler Me See? What do you want to be when you grow up? I would say. I want to be a baskets of joy Lady and I didn't realize I was actually saying was that I wanted to be an entrepreneur that played out over the course of my childhood. My cousin and I would do lemonade stands and car washes and Even after families Easter Egg hunt. We would then seller prizes. Your younger cousins didn't Hey, guy, my aunts and uncles price Anyway. Of course. That's why today was your first paying job. My lemonade stand in my way You strike hunts. Yes, on Then I baby sat and did things like that in my cousin and I would also Make friendship bracelets and hock them off to our friends and on DSA. That was really the beginning of it all. What's the worst job you ever had? Oh, gosh, where he and retails pretty terrible. No offense, Anyone who works in retail but something the day on my feet and building closes. It was pretty monotonous. But I will say that I met some incredible people. Wow, soaking What did you soak in from being around those people? I think the wire folding shirts. Yeah. E think The biggest thing is the uniqueness of experiences and the ability to connect with people with him from her or who come from such different backgrounds and finding that commonality realized that you know, we're all human, and you also see the beauty and others in such meaning even while you're conducting such menial tasks. How many? How many hours. You think you work today? You know you should be 95. But I would think that entrepreneurs were successful. Probably work all the time, right all the time. The only time I don't work. It's from sundown Friday until sundown Saturday. There any friends? I try. Most people say no. But I often, um, apologizing for being a bad friend. But I have amazing friends who are incredibly understanding. And I'm also friends with a lot of other founders. So we're all equally is busy and we're all equally it's flake. On that makes for a really great understanding. Founding sisters. See that club like a sorority? Yeah. Um, you have any hobbies? E d E O weird hobbies? Well, I do know how to DJ. That's good. Yeah, It's pretty cool. I have no rhythm, so that makes it even more interesting. At least have the Skrillex turntable. No, I don't because they don't know how to scratch. You have a DJ purist. Uh, with vinyl or s O. I used to DJs. But I actually I'm starting to get into vinyl because the whole reason why I learned to the DJ was because I wanted to deconstruct music, so I wanted I love country and I love hip hop. And so I wanted to do country vocals on hip hop beats. On Get up your vinyl. I know election. I am so I actually have this 1915 Victrola which Pitt plays. What is that? Like the old 77 years? Yeah, And that is incredible. I have, like Sinatra and elephant. Yeah, And you know, you have to crank it up on the volume is judged by the openings of the doors on the cabinet. Um, I'm totally into this world. I love it. And so I'm actually going to get another record player. Forgot the name. Blair. Yeah. I called turntables. Well, now I'm gonna get a record. Okay? What would describe you as an entrepreneur? What adjective? Oh, gosh, I think Hustle. Like Hustler, or also hospitals a pretty good word. Yeah. Ah, hustler, though. Yeah, I hustle every day like I feel like my theme song is everyday I'm hustling. That's right up. We're here to inspire, inform and connected community of entrepreneurs and hustlers And people who hustle I paddle. Brian. Welcome again. Macy Peterson is our guest on second thought. Why are you most proud of missing? Of all this stuff, I would say what marketing here a lot of marketing. I am I ran in the marketing department for a subsidiary of The Washington Post for a while. And then I was like, Yeah, the route and then I also did brand management and innovation for Marriott. But I would say out of the scope of work that we've done thus far with on second thought. What's made me most excited on ghost humbled was to see how our technology can impact people in developing countries s O, For example, in Kenya people sudden bunny, the a mobile money transfers. And the problem is that they often send. It's the wrong person, and after they hit send, it's gone. The only way to get their money back is to run to that person and begged them to return it and we know that probably has a very low success rate. So there's someone at the I am a We realized that this was a problem and not only that, but our technology can fix it on. So when I realized the true impact of what we've created through the myriad ways that could be implemented That was the biggest blessing because I realized that sending texts are fun and games. But when we're actually saving people's livelihood and their wealth, that's true world change and the impact that I think I was created to make your husband's a good word. A typical day is what There isn't a typical day e mean every day. The only things that are the same every day is that I wake up a day. My devotion and I get showered. After that. Everything is completely different. So I travel a lot about 25 to 75% of the of the month. On. Beyond that I have meetings with various people, whether they are clients or investors or other people in the industry. I speak quite a bit of time conferences. I mean, every day is literally different. That's good. Yeah, I assume that you take advice of others or you will be hanged. Micromanager. Oh, no, I'm I believe in hiring and working with people who know more than me, So hey, take a lot of advice. Our advisors of the company or just incredible. I mean, I'm constantly humbled by. This is sort of my humility that goes along with that Being entrepreneur is the most humbling experience. It literally breaks you down to the lowest point and then builds you up to be a stronger leader, Billy being a failing entrepreneur, and you're not so well, you know, you have micro failures and or you have this time.

"I found that when people could share their deepest grief. Are there even their feelings of their deepest. Shame whatever that this breaks through the walls. Which are actually flimsy walls. Beat because they do not come with the natural world the fences in to our own self image. And then what should do we wake in breaking out in working together this sense of Mutual belonging a sense of liberating. No matter how good to coach of regeneration that there is within an organization. They're going to be times when it breaks down when life intervenes earlier this year. I let my father was in all four. Circumstances stuck for legal reasons in central america with three forms of cancer. This horrible news affected everything. In my life. Go in the way of my writing and my extinction rebellion work. I realized that not only maybe more fragile and tired. It may be more reactive and difficult to be around so i need to be of time out now only to visit my father but also to get back in touch with the innocence of equilibrium. I'm a buddhist so for me involve meditation and that helped me get back on track and talking a buddhist culture in this final part of episode. We're going to listen to joanna. Macy rita myth about the times in which we find ourselves. It's quite long but so beautiful that we decided to include the full version here. It's the myth of the shambala warriors from tibetan tradition and points to the role extinction rebellion. Might have for the future as told me by dougal giugale ramp pitchy of the tibetan community in exile called touchy john in northeast india north west. Excuse me north west india and and as those that here at who have background in Buddha dharma was sent. The shambala warrior is a metaphor for the bodey. And that hero figure in the buddhist tradition is motivated by the desire for the welfare of all bs. There comes a time went. All life on earth is in danger in this time. Great powers have arisen and they are engaged in programs to abolish each other and although they waste their wealth in preparations to abolish each other. They have much in common weapons of unfathomable devastation and death and technologies that lay waste the world and it is in this moment when the future of all beings hang spy. The frail is the threads that the kingdom of shambala emerges now. You can't go there. Because it is not a place it.

"At a high level about the riots during the summer, the horrible riots in Portland and Seattle and various other other places that was a real problem. What they said, But they've analyzed my speech, in my words and my final paragraph my final sentence. Everybody took the key thought it was totally appropriate. All right. Meanwhile, Dancy Macy, who is the newly voted in elected official from South Carolina, First Woman for the Republican Party, to be elected to Congress, and she had this to say this morning on Fox is friends, Fox and friends as far as just the divisiveness within Congress and this country, it says that we're a very divided chamber both both chambers really the U. S. Senate and the U. S House between Republicans and Democrats. But even within Our own conference there. You know, we are divided. I think you'll see Probably a dozen or so if I had to guess right now Republicans that will vote to impeach later today. I was one of the most vocal Members of Congress last week that called on the president when this violence transpired. I have taken some of the members of my own party to task this week is well on this issue because rhetoric does have real consequences. The House does have every right to impeach the president. But you this rush impeachment today where we're going to debate it on the floor of the house an hour or two isn't the right Or legal way to do that, because every American deserves the right to due process for the same reasons that I voted to certify the Electoral College last week because of my guiding principle, being the Constitution will be the same guiding principle that I have today. When I am voting on impeachment. I think it's very important that we don't just take a Zippo lighter to the Constitution on tear everything up and s so that's the way and why I will be voting that way today. Meanwhile, I thought this is interesting. Lawmakers are being told they'll have to Pay up if they don't mask up. This is the thistles Capitol Hill yesterday the houses approved finding members who refuse to wear a mask. Think about that. If this I don't see that working in the general public, even though there have always been rumors about a bidet administration mask mandate. I think that's the last thing even if that did go into effect. That's the last thing I think police want to deal with. This is go around. I think crime would probably, you know, just spike if they knew how the cops are gonna be running around trying to make sure everyone's wearing a mask. But the first of fence is get this $500 the second jumps to $2000 for those who refuse to refuse to wear a mask at the Capitol, at least to Congress, women, and when one congressman Have tested positive for Corona virus after last week's attacks on the capital. At this point, it is 8 18 traffic and weather together from temp start heating and cooling products, checking in with a busy Johnny Hill this morning accident scenes being reported Cleveland and Weber also Rome, Hilliard Road between Fisher and West Broad.
