There is a lot of talk about overcoming adversity and being positive these days but I do not find it all that actionable.Therefore I decided to compress my 2020 experiences into this newsletter. Disaster struck twice, as I lost the business and got sick with covid within 48h. Additionally, living in NY was ( for once) not a blessing since we were the pandemic epicenter and suffered from local as well as federal mismanagement.

Yes,

We live in very dark and unpredictable times.But today I want to talk about things that really matter: the biceps bench as seen in the picture du jour. Because…biceps make everything better and the idea of building a massive steel structure just to train a vanity muscle is simply genius.

The game changers is very short on data , the main reason being that there is none. A lot of the fear mongering along the lines of ” meat will give you cancer as this study shows” is simply wrong. Why?

From the view point of this great city of ours, you are witnessing a complete failure of federal leadership, gross incompetence on many levels, excessive greed by banks and large cooperations sucking up small business loans ( the irony!) , failure to pay out unemployment to deserving people… the list goes on. Oh yeah, there is also a deadly disease out there.
