Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- What it was like to eat with Anthony Bourdain (from the archives).

- Gambling revenue in Macau - was this drop due to Covid (Las Vegas recovered) or due to economic changes in China?

- Morgan Housel: The luckier you are - the nicer you should be.

- Is the collapse of RSN's a problem or opportunity for MLB? Article misses one of the biggest issues - for years teams like the Yankees and Red Sox squeezed the cable companies to get top dollar for their games. When streaming became the norm the cable companies turned around and said you can't offer a streaming service at a price below what we pay per sub. That's in part how you wind up with NESN streaming (Red Sox and Bruins) at a monthly cost of $29.99. Who wants to pay that?
