Buy or Sell 

1. New proposed Federal Trade Commission rule regarding non competes is good for average Americans
   1. Summary of issue: https://www.littler.com/publication-press/publication/ftc-proposes-rule-banning-non-competes#:~:text=The%20rule%20defines%20a%20%E2%80%9Cnon,worker's%20employment%20with%20the%20employer.%E2%80%9D

The Big One

1. Remember last year when Glen Younkin was elected and we were like “Yeah, that was perfect conditions, don’t freak out” and the larger response from political analysts was “this is a compete climate change, everything is different forever”
   1. Oh, The Media Cycle. You Still Kind of Suck.
   2. Don’t confuse a gusty day for a change in the weather (Yes, we mean Glenn Youngkin). We said that the actual bellwether was PA (and we were right); YES, it’s changing. But the press ran away with his victory but the media spin was so self-obsessed, it was kind of fucking ridiculous
   3. The national media is always so eager to tell us not what happened but what it means, forever. - Adam
   4. What they said: https://www.semafor.com/article/01/10/2023/virginia-special-election-youngkin-abortion
   5. What happened (Does this mean he’s broken now?) https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3807820-democrat-appears-to-flip-virginia-state-senate-seat-in-closely-watched-special-election/
   6. Shout out to the great VA state sen (and majority leader) Louise Lucas (from the Semafor story): “My birthday is going to be the 50th anniversary of when Roe v. Wade was decided,” State Senate President L. Louise Lucas told Rouse and other Democrats who were heading out to knock doors on Saturday. “You think I’m going to let them turn it back? Hell fuckin’ no!”

LAST CALL — THE DOG CAUGHT THE CAR

• The dog caught the car: The GOP has power now. Their actual desire is to break the levers. When you have control of the thing you’re trying to break, you don’t do anything. Grievances
  • Biden documents (3 “ROUNDS” NOW
    • Good summary from The Guardian 
    • https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jan/14/biden-documents-discovery-donald-trump-winner
• Hunter Biden
• Investigating the investigations)
• Russia gate: https://theintercept.com/2023/01/10/russia-twitter-bots-trump-election/
• 
   
• Compare and contrast: Where the Tea Party (what is now the “Freedom Caucus or as The Great Kara Swisher calls them “The Chaos Caucus) numbers are now vs. in 2010
