This week, the Zero Fucks Given crew is back! Carson is rubbing his perfect election predictions in everyone’s face while we recap the news stories you may have missed while doom scrolling online. From Chamath's quest to "Make America Healthy Again" to North Korean soldiers discovering premium internet content for the first time, we’ve got the headlines you didn’t know you needed. It hasn't been long since Trump’s re-election, but he's already out here drafting his cabinet for the sequel administration — let’s just say it’s already shaping up to be a circus act. Oh, and Spirit Airlines somehow outdid itself by becoming the literal target of a sky-high drive-by shooting. Just another day in the aviation hell that is a Spirit Airlines flight. Meanwhile, Freddy reacts to two Brazilian influencers who prove that vanity is, in fact, buoyant (except when it’s not). Plus, our financial hot take: Why MicroStrategy’s new ETF is leverage inception on steroids — and a sign we’ve officially entered 2024 chaos mode. All that and more!
