Are you ready for this? Are you ready? Well, I hope so. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the best thing that ever happened to you. But if you'd like to take it up to levels that nobody could even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that would be a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine deal of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Well, here's some good news from space. There's a private lunar lander. that's carrying a drill and a vacuum and just landed on the moon. Now, I think this is a good idea. So it's got a drill and a vacuum.

What news is there about space exploration?

Scott Adams 1:17
When I look at the moon, the first thing I think is, God, it's dusty up there, isn't it? So they put a vacuum on the moon. I don't know if it's going to vacuum the entire moon or just the front side because we don't have to see the dark side. So that's good. Finally, somebody put a vacuum on the moon. Wait, what? Oh, okay. Maybe it's the vacuum up samples and bring it back. But I like mine better. In other space news, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin is getting ready to launch into space an all-women's flight aboard their New Shepard rocket. It's an all-women's flight. And Katy Perry, Katy Perry will be on the rocket. Now, I would call that a good start. If he could find a way to launch all of the annoying celebrities into space, just think how much a better world it would be.
Scott Adams 2:11
I'd like to start a petition for... Let's see. Oh, you make your own list. So many annoying people. But at least if it's an all-women's crew, at least they won't feel shy about stopping and asking for directions. Am I right? Okay. A sexist would say. Here's a big one. BlackRock has announced it's going to end its DEI hiring goals. Huh. Now, Blackhawk was the big death star of DEI.

What changes did BlackRock announce regarding DEI?

Scott Adams 2:48
They're the ones who not only had DEI, but they were really super committed to it, like it was their main thing. But they were also forcing companies that they do business with to also do DEI. So this one's like, this is not an ordinary company. When BlackRock pulls back on DEI, and they're pulling back hard. They're not just tweaking it. It looks like they're just getting rid of it. And that means all the companies that they had browbeaten into it also now are free to do the same. So if BlackRock does it, that sends a signal that everybody can do it. And I think they're doing it just for purely practical reasons. You know, there's a legal liability. It's literally illegal and always has been. It's just that now we have an administration that will follow up on it.

So I expect the rest of the dominoes to fall pretty quickly. Meanwhile, over at Citigroup, according to ZeroEdge, Citigroup accidentally credited $81 trillion to an account that should have been $280. But they caught it before the person got to the ATM and withdrew the 81 trillion. No, they couldn't have withdrawn 81 trillion. Now, if you're worried that they could have somehow used that money or moved it around, not much of it, because any large transfers are looked at pretty carefully. So it's not like the person with the account could have just said, hey, I'll just take a billion. I think they would have noticed right away. especially if they were dealing with numbers like $280. You'd notice that.

But in related news, Vladimir Zelensky has moved all of his personal accounts to Citigroup. Just in case. Yeah, you never know. You might get that $81 trillion and you'd have something to spend it on. No, I made that up. That's not true. Meanwhile, the House GOP is moving to remove a giant Black Lives Matter mural. I think it's on the street. I'm not sure. From Washington, D.C. Plaza. So this raises some questions. If they remove the Black Lives Matter mural, how will I know if they matter? Because I need written instructions on this stuff. It's so confusing. Wait, they're human beings. Do they matter? I'd better go read the street. Oh, there it is. There's the directions right in the street. Okay, they matter.
