For all the disruption 2020 brought us, there is a silver lining. Customers are continuing to become even more digitally literate, so there are even more customers online for retailers to attract and retain. Although this forced retailers to accelerate their plans for innovation almost overnight, they’re getting more creative to reach their customers in new ways.

This is really what keeps me up at night: A therapy of this cost is going to have enormous implications for everyone. And by everyone, I literally mean you, too. There’s going to be some 60- and 70-year-olds on your plan. If they start getting this treatment, you will see your premiums will go up.

If I had to pick a large company most likely to ‘tough it out’ and continue to invest and refine its thesis until it has a true impact in health care delivery, then I would probably pick Amazon. It understands the modern consumer as well as anyone and it seems to be refining its thesis, learning, and making investments that look progressively more sophisticated from the standpoint of experienced health care operators. Plus, its free cash flow is something like 100 times that of the average health system, so it has a lot of room for error.

If you don’t have the flame burning in you, you just cannot compete at this level. [Serena and Roger] express it in different ways, but it’s still burning for both of them. And though it’s harder for me to speak about Roger than Serena, they both must feel capable of still winning Grand Slams. Otherwise they wouldn’t still be out here. Of that much I am certain.

I’ve got just as many men as women drinking it. And it started with the millennials, but now I have people in their 40s, 50s and 60s ordering it.

My judgment right now is the recent inflation we've seen is temporary. It's not something that's endemic. I expect it to last, however, for several more months and to see high annual rates of inflation through the end of this year.

Amazon doesn’t want to dominate Hollywood. It just wants a toehold. But even that toehold has been hard to get, and Bezos has been adamant for a while that the way to get it isn’t via niche shows like
Transparent anymore — it’s by buying or making big blockbusters that lots of people will watch.

Another outcome of the pandemic is the intense need for workers to find a work-life balance. And employees are willing to make sacrifices to achieve it. A
survey by career site Joblist revealed that just over 30 percent of workers said they'd give up part of their pay for a better work-life balance, with parents willing to take a 5 percent pay cut.

Anxiety about returning to normal is setting in. Today, 61 percent of Americans say they’re anxious about returning to normal public activities and socialization, which is highest for Millennials (69 percent) vs. Boomers (59 percent). And while bars and restaurants are opening up, less than a quarter (22 percent) of Americans tell us they would feel comfortable socializing with a stranger at a bar.

I don’t think someone should correlate the extent of their reactions to the vaccine with protection from infection. We know that people who don’t respond to a vaccine in terms of the side effects still are well protected.

This was a strong quarter. Every segment performed well, and we’re encouraged by traffic and grocery market share trends. Our optimism is higher than it was at the beginning of the year. In the U.S., customers clearly want to get out and shop. …. We anticipate continued pent-up demand throughout 2021.

At the end of the day, cruise ships have motors, propellers and rudders, and God forbid we can't operate in the state of Florida for whatever reason. There are other states that we do operate from, and we can operate from the Caribbean for a ship that otherwise would have gone to Florida.

I find it much more rewarding to work for a small business and to try to make it into a bigger business. I don’t miss the days when I was marketing director [and] … where we lost 0.1 percent of market share and [then] been demanded to figure out a plan to get it back in the next three months.

It’s a little shocking we’re at this point already. Businesses are champing at the bit to grow and are moving faster than applicants are willing to move.
