Aunt Shirani, Lemonade Plans and Being Told No
Thursday, 15th.
7 pm
I'm very busy. I enjoyed the pleasure of reconnecting with aunt Shirani, who has known me since I was only but a toddler. She was sharing her insights on how I can navigate the odds I'm facing.
I recall Mikey, selling snow cones, with syrup flavoring in high school for the school fair. And I saw Upali uncle with cool, pointy shoes, which I think we crocodile skin or leather types which were cool.
I have plans to sell lemonade, because it's cool.
I discussed sensitive topics with Shirani. There are good and bad, and there are risks, and she's wisely advised me as a loving, genuinely caring mother would, her own son, when the stakes are so high.

Punchline: She told me not to sell lemonade
This is because she worries it's unhealthy
I will still sell lemonade because it's cool
And I want to sell lemonade
Legal Venue Shopping for AngryPages in California and Delaware
I have gone legal venue shopping to have my avenues covered
I think many businesses, if not all, they pick a state for the legal venue they want general jurisdiction on
Not all people who do business plan it out in advance, but some strategists do it carefully
I was picking between 9, 2 and 5, but chose 9th
This is because of strategic "legal positioning"
We are very cautious, and we want to avoid breaking any laws, out of respect to everyone
People disagree often, but if they dispute us, we want to know with total legal clarity how to resolve it
That's what makes the 9th circuit so attractive to most of the business people I know in media
They often register in Delaware or newly Wyoming/Nevada, then foreign register in a new state, to go to do business
But we do it as a California firm, just so we know what to expect as we make art
We're a publisher first, and so those rules give us a lot of clarity, which reduces stress from surprises
We have a holdings company in Delaware, as those specialist, courts of chancery, are rich in binding precedent, so investors feel safe
Backing Salman and His Friendship With Trump
I don't care enough to watch it, but I am with Salman, I think he's as wise as Solomon, and he's someone many of us are proud of. He's taken the hits, and rolled with the punches,███████████████████████████████, and stood by his friends like Trump when he was on the ropes.
Defending Saudi Arabia’s Direction and American Business Ties
Even if Saudi Arabia, the economy suffers a bit, no matter what, they've diversified, built real friends and earned business based on good will.
They have conquered many enemies with respect, patience, and the true allah.

Democrats, Trump and Identifying as an Independent
I became a Democrat, hearing JFK talk about getting on the moon. But the democratic party, has dived from those days. Obama, revived it, he made them great with his actual vision, as a poor, middle class nobody. This is what inspired a generation of Americans into his dream. Trump however, represents the American dream too, and personifies it, as the king of the USA. I'm an Indie, but identify with the Dems because of my liberal stance on social policies, which are emotionally powerful, ████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████████
