1. @Twitter & @Snap weak earnings is NOT a reliable economic indicator. It's an indicator of their crappy ad biz.

2. Brands are ⬆️digital investments that can produce a⬆️ROI/ROAS. Wait for @Google earnings call for a more reliable view of current ad spending. Twitter and Snap results send shudders through the digital advertising market ft.com/content/92a57ebf-1364…

I am so profoundly saddened by #RoeVsWade decision. Nothing worse than the govt telling you what to do with your body.

Today, people from across the country will #WearOrange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence, demand a future free from gun violence, and call on the Senate to take action to end this crisis. Let’s show the power and depth of our movement and paint this country orange!

"Video posted to social media appears to show frustrated and distraught parents and other adults outside the school clashing with law enforcement officers, urging the officers to go inside and get the gunman or let them go inside themselves." edition.cnn.com/us/live-news…
“It sickens me to see these weapons of war available to any 18-year-old. In the US you can’t legally buy a beer until you’re 21 years old... and yet we allow 18 year olds to go out and purchase long guns,” says fmr. four star Admiral @stavridisj. “We’ve got it upside down.”

Schools should be sanctuaries of safety for our children, not where they go to die. Join the millions of Americans demanding our lawmakers stand up to the gun lobby so our children don’t have to stand up to gunmen. Text ACT to 644-33.

I'm critical of @nielsen: didn't keep up w/ consumer chgs, device innovation, need 2 move faster & innovate. But #Nielsen is too entrenched to just disappear. @Comscore @edo_data & others ⬆️competition &📏quality standards. That's a good thing. forbes.com/sites/martyswant/… via @forbes

Hey, @WSJ. Agencies aren't incentivized 2 report fraud activity b/c it literally impacts ad efficacy & media value & it would make them look inefficient 2 brand clients. @WSJ should have interviewed fraud vendors like @SecureWithHUMAN & advertisers. wsj.com/articles/elon-musks-…

Cybersecurity and fraud vendors estimate a difference in media efficacy and value b/c of fraud activity. Agencies want to show blockbuster efficiency numbers 2 their brand clients b/c it means more media dollars in their pocket. #gradingyourownhomework @wsjCMO
Replying to @JeffBezos
@JeffBezos views on inflation isn't "right-wing"populism & he isn't totally wrong. Stimulus pkg caused inflation. Gov't policy may ease inflation-but not a lot. Increasing taxes to battle inflation is a bad idea. @mashable stop it w/ divisive pieces. Do better w/ a balanced POV

@JeffBezos is correct INR his 1st tweet ab increasing taxes to battle inflation. BUT, he kept quiet ab corp stimulus $$ & #trump corp tax cut bc both cause inflation and he benefited from it. Real story here is that nobody wants to hear a BILLIONAIRE’S opinion on anything.
1/7 Re: infant formula crisis created by #Abbott and blown up by gov't hacks that can't play nice in the sandbox. I'll summarize for you. YOU'RE WELCOME. @AbbottNews

6/7 And #Abbott has about 50% of the infant baby formula market. To increase its share, Abbott has a few infant formula production plants to ⬇️OpEx to ⬆️net profit. The byproduct of this is sh*itty production and product, right @AbbottNews?

7/7 Consumers need to recognize a company's primary objective is to⬆️revenue and ⬇️ costs. Full Stop. Consumers have the job of weeding through Mktg and Corp BS to spot a good consumer-first company. Gov't doesn't have mechanisms to monitor corp. actions. #FACT
