Unfortunately for the travel sector (and all of us personally), Omicron put a dampener on the revival.

Almost overnight, travel restrictions were tightened or re-introduced. Many of those restrictions targeted South Africa (and its neighbors) which was the first country to detect and then report the variant to the WHO, although many other countries — 19 to be exact — have now reported cases of the variant.

It might be 2022, or probably even beyond, until air travel is fully feeling itself again.

Speaking of Facebook, recently they were told it wasn't allowed to rule the world of GIFs. The UK's competition regulator (CMA) announced that Facebook (technically, Meta) will have to unwind its ~$400m acquisition of Giphy.

The CMA decided that Facebook's ownership of Giphy could stifle competition in social media.

Whether a lack of killer GIFs would really harm Facebook's competitors isn't the most interesting point from this news. The most interesting thing is that regulators are finally doing what they have talked a lot about: blocking big tech acquisitions.

The only issue is that Facebook makes more acquisitions than you might have realized, 93 in fact since the company was founded. Some, like WhatsApp or Instagram make the headlines, or go on to be huge household brands or products in their own right — but most don't.

Under Dorsey's most recent reign, Twitter made substantial progress — almost doubling its daily active user base since 2017. But, as always, some investors wanted more. Leading the charge against Dorsey was Elliott Management, an activist hedge fund, which last year bought 4% of Twitter, and agitated to have Dorsey removed as CEO. In the end, they reached a deal, and Jack stayed on for another 18 months, until recent week when he joined the great resignation.

Agrawal will have a wish-list of things to get done in the next 5 years, but in short: to keep growing the user base, monetize users more effectively and make it into as few "big tech is bad" headlines as possible.

Despite a lot of effort and investment Twitter just can't squeeze out the revenue from its users that Facebook is able to. Twitter makes around $2 a month per active daily user vs. Facebook's ~$5.

At the end of last year Amazon employed almost 1.3 million people, with roughly 950,000 employees in the US alone. That means that roughly 1 in every 150 American workers gets a paycheck from Jeff Bezos and co..

During the holiday period, that number goes up even more.

Amazon announced it will take on 150,000 seasonal employees to help fulfill the demand of the final months of the year.

That 150,000 is not the biggest seasonal hiring Amazon has ever done, but for context it's essentially the equivalent of hiring the entire workforce of Nike... twice.

Most of the roles are in Amazon's supply chain; delivery, warehouse work and fulfillment. Walmart plans to hire a similar number and Target needs 100,000. Hiring so many people, when the labor market is hot and supply chains are already creaking, might not be as easy as it used to be.

60 years ago the average turkey weighed about 17 lbs, today it's almost double that (according to USDA).

The techniques have gotten some help from scientific progress, but the strategy has remained simple: breed the largest males with as many hens as possible.

Rinse and repeat every year and with a little help from artificial insemination (helps spread the genetic material of the largest birds further), the result is bigger and bigger turkeys.

How long this trend can continue is unclear, but even in the last decade the average turkey has gained ~11% in weight, suggesting it is far from plateauing.

Athough the turkeys have been getting bigger, American consumption of turkey has been coming down for quite some time. "Peak turkey" was actually back in 1996.
