Happy Thanksgiving! This episode was originally published in November 2023. Ocean Spray’s farmers are responsible for 65% of the world’s cranberries. It’s not a publicly traded company. It’s not a traditional private company, either. It’s a cooperative founded nearly a century ago and owned by roughly 700 families. WSJ’s Ben Cohen tells the story of how the cranberry got into the can and how the company is planning for a future beyond your Thanksgiving table.

Great, now get this reporter to interview Trump. Talk about hard ball questions.
well, yeah. It's Florida.
don't put chewing sounds in a pod
This has me incensed. Especially when you consider how many well trained and educated AMERICANS can't even get interviews let alone six-figure jobs! they could have taken the money they used to pay just three of these people in North Korea and set up a training program and some place in Appalachia where kids are coming out of high school into towns that have very few jobs outside of the fossil fuel industry, Food service and retail. You could have given these trainees the opportunity to work for
Is this satire? "dangerous" working conditions?! It's a freaking desk job!!

Around 9:40 it is mentioned that "android and apple operating systems restrict access but Microsoft doesn't" this is FACTUALLY incorrect. All operating systems restrict access to the kernel. In fact it is easier to directly modify the Android kernel, because 1) it's Linux so insmod works and 2) it's open source so you can download it and rewrite it yourself and install it to your phone. Microsoft restricts access to the Windows kernel, by reviewing programs that need access to it.

I think they said 1885
invented in 1985 but over 140 years old?
Terrible. The giggling made it even worse.
sounds like one of those podcasts by a couple of high school girls. I unsubscribe from those because they're a tad irritating.
You should choose the right game based on your experience and preferences. Some casino games require no skill at all and have good odds. And for other games, you need to know the patterns and sequences in order to win the casino. I advise you to start by following the play of more experienced players like Egle Dicegirl https://dicegirl.casino/ . She is a professional gambling streamer
The FNIM perspective is missing from this story.
Could Jamie Dimon be more out of touch with what life is like for Americans? The cost of living factors that are always skewed to favor business, minimize the impact on average person, while also making the government sound wonderful never represents real life. He really thinks the extra $39 week from the 2021 stimulus is still around, when every single utility, groceries, local taxes, etc have massively increased? He & the CEO of Kellogg's should have to live one year on average salary $59,384.
Did he say "I'm Kate Linebaugh"??
