CVS buys Aetna for $69B
It’s a “hit every red light” morning.

"I can lose a thousand dollars and, as much as it bothers me, I can always make those lost funds back and break even. However, when I lose a day or a weekend, I can never do anything to get that time back. That is a true realized loss."

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we
are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most

“Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit.
Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as
they might be. Don't merely dream -- but create!”

The world’s first time traveler was just a boy who created a machine. The moment before he first switched it on, he appeared to himself as an old man.
“Don’t,” the old man said.
The boy hesitated, but he remembered how angry he was at every adult who ever tried to hold him back.
“Fuck you, old man,” he said, smiled, and hit the switch.
In an instant, he was old, standing before his younger self.
“Don’t,” he said.
“Welcome to corporate America, where no one has a stake and as long as you're getting paid, you don't care and the goal is to hit your bonus.”
