[ad_1] Ted Turner, who just graduated from this earthly academy at age 87, was a bon vivant, Playgirl’s man of the year, and a public embarrassment. He made billion-dollar deals when, you know, a billion was a really big number. He sailed the seas as a champion of the yachting crowd, winning the 1977 America’s Cup aboard the Courageous. He married a beautiful actress, made her do the politically incorrect Tomahawk chops to cheer his Atlanta Braves, and cycled through the ideological spectrum from Randian to Mouth of the South to globalist U.N. benefactor to environmentalist rescuing bison. Jane Fonda, his…

[ad_1] Brazilian President Lula da Silva greets US President Donald Trump upon his arrival at the White House: the trip also serves a second, equally important function for Lula, as each item on the bilateral agenda maps directly onto a domestic electoral fault line. Ricardo Stuckert/PR, CC BY Guilherme Casarões, Florida International University For about three hours of closed-door talks between Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and US President Donald Trump at the White House on May 7, 2026, many observers in the two countries held their breath.

[ad_1] Maybe focusing on next quarter’s profits and reaping short-term gains from financializing everything under the sun with debt weren’t such great ideas after all.

Things seemed normal that…
