Reading the summary of the extract it looks like this was a broader study about grocery consumption that included among other things a look at the religious preferences of individual shoppers.

1. Go to an ATM.

(They know Ben & Jerry’s isn’t actually sinful, right?)

Yeah I think there would be plenty of Republicans, especially those in districts that are going to be tight contests come November, who would either vote against this if their feet were held to the fire or, if they were comfortable it wouldn’t pass, abstain.

Eh, in this case, I don’t think Paul Ryan & Co are all that interested in following this course of action. For starters, the Senate won’t go for it.

Huh?

Yeah I think from that perspective the press is a reasonably united front.  A President playing access games with aggressive reporters can’t be tolerated (even if you find your colleagues distasteful) because it sets a precedent for the future (i.e. the case-in-point now, where Obama not getting away with it makes it…

I think they’re being pointed out moreso because it’s notable that even the news network that is cozy with the President is displaying solidarity with CNN here.

the poison pill construction has been shot down by courts all over the world because

Poison pill defenses are great in theory, but in execution, they’re a damned nightmare to pull off. It’s more of a mutually assured destruction thing than anything else.

They CAN’T do this with Uber because Kalanick and his close allies on the board have shares structured to prevent their voting rights from being diluted.

Every time I try to get into this game I get turned off by how tedious the starts are.

The other thing that certainly triggers testing is success. The article above compares Serena’s testing frequency to American tennis players.

I’m not shocked Sorkin wrote a good story about this. He knows the industry and the jargon and is good at making it relatable.

I mean, it’s pretty campy, and I think it stays in “funny campy” instead of “we were trying to be serious” campy for the most part. Where we’re going, you don’t need eyes to see is a great, memeable line.

It’s a statewide race, so there’s no gerrymandering, so I’d say that if they vote him in that honestly they don’t deserve better.
