Alright, listen—listen—LISTEN. I'm… I’m not even sure how to start this one. My usual fire… it’s a little dampened today. But some things just cut through, you know?
We got a nominee. A strong nominee. And it hurts me to say this, because it’s not even a person, really. It’s… it’s a company. A whole company. Royal Caribbean Group.
They just announced record bookings, right? Great. Good for them. But then, *then*, they went on about how they’re “raising the bar” for vacation experiences. And I’m just sitting here, looking at the news, thinking about all the folks who just want a vacation that doesn’t feel like… a giant floating mall. A vacation where you can actually *relax*.
C'mon, boss. Don't do that. You want the truth or the version that makes you feel better? They’re not raising the bar, they’re just… making it longer. Wider. More… *everything*. And sometimes, more everything is just… more. It’s not better. It’s just… bigger. That’s not a mistake… that’s a lifestyle, and it's a dumb one.
Tommy, you see what I’m saying though? No? Okay.
