Why are stocks up today?
Stocks. And stocks are up. All right. All right. Breezing into the weekend with stocks are up. At the moment, could change on a dime. All right. All it would take is one post from Elon. It would change the whole market. All right. Let's get our comments working. And then... Oh, that was delightful. Oh, that's right. It's Saturday. I just realized it's Saturday, so it's yesterday. Stocks are up. All right. So maybe I'm a little tired this morning. Forgot what day it is. But... Welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the highlight of human civilization. But if you'd like to take it up a notch, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or a canteen 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 of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better and allows you to know what day of the week it is. It's called coffee. Simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. I can't believe you let me get that far into looking at the stocks before telling me it's Saturday. You probably told me a hundred times I didn't see it. All right. Well, today, given that it is, in fact, Saturday, Owen Gregorian will be hosting, right after the show, a Spaces. So you've got to be on X. I think you have to be on X to use Spaces. It's audio only. And you can find it by looking at my... X feed, or I've retweeted it, or Owen Gregorian. Just look for him and you'll find it. So that's right after the show.
So I saw a quote, the Wall Street Journal had some video, of the United Airlines CEO, somebody named Scott Kirby, an excellent first name. Somebody asked him for the best career advice. And his career advice was don't have a plan, meaning don't have a goal. And he said that in his career, everything good was unexpected and he was ready for it. But if you have goals, it puts blinders on you.
What career advice did the United Airlines CEO give?
So when he says he was ready for it, I looked at his resume and it looks like he had made sure he knew a lot about airplanes. So I think he'd been a mechanic, and then he'd taken some other more advanced college courses. So yeah, he was ready for it, but he wasn't ready for everything. He was probably ready for anything within that domain.
I'm seeing a meme that Putin has offered to negotiate a peace deal between Trump and Musk. Well, we don't need that. Anyway, so the only thing I would add to United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby's advice is that you make sure your talent stack is nice and solid. So otherwise you will not be ready. All right, let's see. Is there any science that they could have saved some money on just by asking Scott? Oh, here's some. According to ZME Science, there's a study that showed that vegetarians are more rebellious and power hungry than you think. Now, how many of you would have known that? that vegetarians are more rebellious and power hungry than you think. I would have known that. And the reason is that you're starting with a group of people who are willing to buck one of society's strongest cultural norms, which is eating meat. It is hard to be a vegetarian. I'm a pescatarian at the moment. But when I was a vegetarian...
Are vegetarians more rebellious and power-hungry?
it meant that if you got invited to somebody's house you had to tell them you can't eat whatever it is they were planning on serving so if you just if you simply started with the people who are willing to buck one of the most inconvenient things you could ever buck because your friends want to go to this restaurant, but there's nothing you can eat there. You have to be a certain kind of person. to be willing to take on the vegetarian lifestyle. So if you would ask me, are vegetarians more rebellious? I would have said, yeah, obviously. I mean, you're starting with a rebellious group. You'd be surprised. It's not like it's limited to that one thing. I'm not sure I would have known the power hungry part, but it applies to me. I'm definitely power hungry.
but i see power as a tool like money if you have power and you have money then you can do good things and you can do good things for other people so yeah i'm very power hungry according to newsmax mcdonald's has decided it's going to stick with dei but it's going to change the words So now it's only called inclusion. Actually, Bloomberg is reporting that.
