Brooklyn Brewery, Known Worldwide, Isn’t Leaving Its Williamsburg Home

The company, feeling squeezed out in a gentrifying area, was moving to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, before landlords expressed interest in extending its leases.

OK

The water has been good.

The Upshot

Is Trump Stronger Than He Seems?

Donald Trump’s approval numbers are dismal, but there may be something about his appeal that is not captured in the traditional ratings.

My hope is that he is not.
He will have a short time before results are expected.
The results will be negative.

Jared Kushner’s Ethics Issues

A reader says there is no “ethical thicket” to navigate through Congress since it has shown little concern for conflicts of interest.

The Republican congress finds no ethical problem.

The Upshot

Who Will Care for the Caregivers?

A recent report suggests that society’s reliance on a volunteer army of family helpers — largely taken for granted — is unsustainable.

We will just have to work that out.
Sooner is better.    As soon as you can is best.

Former ‘Apprentice’ Contestant Files Defamation Suit Against Trump

Summer Zervos and her lawyer, Gloria Allred, announced the lawsuit against the president-elect, alleging that he defamed her when he accused her of fabricating the assault.

If Donald Trump were removed from office Mr Pence would be president.

Injecting Drugs, Under a Watchful Eye


It would mean de facto decriminalization.
This administration will not allow that.

Your Money

Free Time? Not Likely, for Time Is Anything but Free

You can’t get it back, and you can’t take it with you. But once you recognize that time is a precious resource, you can be sure to spend it with care.

The time I spend is my choice.

Tesla’s Self-Driving System Cleared in Deadly Crash

The highway agency found that while Tesla’s Autopilot feature didn’t prevent a crash in Florida, the system performed as it was intended.

No.
The self driving system is cleared of malfunction.
It worked as designed and killed the human in its charge.

Obama Commutes Bulk of Chelsea Manning’s Sentence

The Army intelligence analyst convicted in a massive 2010 leak of security documents is set to be freed in five months instead of in 2045.

Yes.
I think the action proper.

Business Day

Heineken Sets Sights on Brazil

The Dutch brewer is in talks to buy the Brazilian unit of Japan’s Kirin as brewers struggle to grow in a tough economy.

There will be a market for a cheap beer in any economy.
A better beer at the same price will sell better.
Accept the low profit to quench the thirst of the masses.
