Kevin discusses some of the options and the benefits of the utility (acts like a membership) and less so on the seeing it as expensive jpegs with bragging rights and status signalling.

The Legal Side Of Amazon Exits and The Slow Down in 2022 Today I chat with Paul Rafelson on how had 2 deals a day coming across his desk from August - December 2021(which doubled in the last two months) and the big drop into 2022. Whilst January was still active deals started to be pulled by February as the bubble started to simmer down.
