🔥 The Hot Corner

💬 Quoted… ​​“Air Force One I’m just going to call a very unique moment, a very unique negotiation, a very unique set of risks that Boeing probably shouldn’t have taken.

  • Boeing disclosed yesterday that it's lost more than $1 billion so far in relation to its deal with the Trump administration to modify two 747 jumbo jets to serve as the presidential planes.

🎓 Stats of the Day: For the 2020-21 academic year, 130,000 prospective college students took gap years, according to the nonprofit Gap Year Association, up from between 40,000 and 60,000 before the pandemic.

  • This year that number looks to be on pace or even higher, largely as a result of low college-acceptance rates, per the WSJ.

🌏 Around the World... Myanmar's military junta sentenced the nation's former leader Aung San Suu Kyi to five years in jail after finding her guilty of corruption.

  • Suu Kyi is also facing more than a dozen similar charges – which she has denied – that could result in up to 190 years in jail.

🤯 Did You Know?... The reason why coffee usually results in a bowel movement is because caffeine activates contractions in your colon and intestinal muscles.
