The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 165.3 K • Ongoing
- “If markets are supposed to aggregate information, then a lot of what we call market failure looks more like an information failure. The price is wrong because the knowledge behind it is incomplete.” I finished answering the question my economics professor had posed to the class, one that no one else had managed to satisfy him with.

- "Okay," Chris came into view after setting up the scene, "Julie, you and the kids will come from the direction I came." He then pointed towards the pillar where we were shooting, "Troy, you'd be standing here, facing towards that pillar, and will rush to them with your trolley. After your dialogue, you'll run towards the pillar and will stop at that point where you can see the little green cross, okay?"I nodded in understanding. As per the scene, I had to go through the pillar, but that was not exactly…

- (Flashback)“No.” Rihanna gave me a flat stare. “You can’t have your first concert ever at The Wiltern. It’s too small. They can’t even fit 2,000 people in there. Do you know the significance of having your album at #1 for so many months? People will be dying to get those tickets. It would be a bloodbath.

- I looked over at the bustling set, where everyone seemed too busy doing something—everyone but me.“Got your script for the day?”I turned to my left and saw my mother standing beside me, watching me curiously.

The clear blue ocean had slow, methodical waves going through it while a soft breeze rustled the palm trees behind us.
