Sometimes we dream about picking up and living in some other country, but we speak only English fluently, Canada seems mad at us right now, and Australia is too far from our family. Turns out, we’re not alone in perusing job listings across the pond: the number of Americans looking for “jobs in the UK” is surging.

US stocks slid, with tech leading the way down as chipmakers face additional curbs on what they can sell to China. Major indexes extended losses after Fed Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the message that the central bank is in no hurry to respond to the hit to growth from tariffs because these levies will also put upward pressure on inflation.

P.S. The US stock market is closed tomorrow for Good Friday; we’ll hop back into your inbox on Monday.

Something exciting is happening on the high seas, as companies like Disney, Carnival, and Norwegian have managed to take a vacation experience that had become practically synonymous with older customers — cruises — and make them floating resorts attracting hoards of the young.

They’ve tweaked the product, jamming in the kind of experiences and attractions that are catnip for your bog-standard millennial with disposable income and a complicated relationship with their own sense of nostalgia. It’s a huge hit:

“I’ve worked closely with tourism boards and brands, and one trend is clear: younger travelers are making fast, confident booking decisions but expect full flexibility and elevated experiences,” travel expert Jiayi Wang said. “That kind of customer is gold for cruise lines, and they know it.”

1983 – Motorola released the first commercial phone.

1992 – Nokia turned phones into personal devices.

And when Apple released the first iPhone in 2007, the industry changed forever. But that was 18 years ago…

Another paradigm shift is happening now, and Mode Mobile is leading the charge. But the current opportunity to invest in their company at $0.26/share¹ is closing in under two weeks.

Don’t miss your chance to invest² at $0.26/share¹ before the opportunity closes.

Last year Tesla had a problem so big you could see it from space — literally. The company was producing way more vehicles than it was selling, and as a result, it was forced to stash that excess outside its factories, in parking lots, and at ports around the world that, yes, you could see from satellite imagery.

This year, the photoshoot is in and the results are clear: those parking lots are looking nowhere near as full. But is that a good thing?

On one hand, parking lots full of unsold Teslas were a bad sign — and those parking lots emptying out might be an even worse one, as Tesla has suspended shipments of parts in response to tariffs. On the other hand, it’s not often you can see a shift in corporate strategy from space, but this is one of them: as CEO Elon Musk tries to pivot Tesla from a car company with tight margins into a much more lucrative AI and robotics business, you can see the effect from low-Earth orbit.

AI model names are a branding disaster. Take our quiz to see if you can tell which are the real model names and which we made up.

It’s harder than you think.
