Maybe Joe Rogan Oversold the Texas Dream
Save This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, the adrenalin produced when you round a corner of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. On the surface, Texas has a lot of things going for it. LVMH CEO Bernard Arnault is planning to open a second factory in the Lone Star State. Hollywood A-listers are hoping producers will set up shop there. And rumor has it that another Tesla Diner might open in Starbase. But peek underneath the hood, and lots of things are going wrong: The first Louis Vuitton factory was a mess. The state's 'faith and family values' message is off-putting for filmmakers. And Elon Musk's fast-casual eatery is off to a rather rocky start, so don't put your money on there being a sequel in the South.

This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a symbiotic synthesis of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. It's not easy to be on the good side — simultaneously — of both Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. But somehow, Nvidia chief executive officer Jensen Huang has managed to stay on the good side of Beijing and Washington. Last week, Huang wowed an audience in China by delivering a speech in Mandarin. The CEO of one of the world's most valuable companies by market cap was born in Mandarin-speaking Taiwan but, after moving to the US at age 9, spoke mainly English. His Mandarin speech was slightly halting, but (unlike Mark Zuckerberg's attempt a while back) Huang — now 62 — had the troublesome Chinese tones right, enunciating with confidence. The result was widespread acclaim in the People's Republic.

Nobody actually wants to buy the bride a drink on her bachelorette party! And we certainly don't need to be sending Uncle Sam a hundred bucks to help pay off his debt:

The Calculus of the Israel-Iran ‘Forever War'
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a phlegmatic phenomenology of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. In the first hours after Israel escalated its conflict with Iran, there was commentary about it being the latest of the world's 'forever wars' — hostilities that have no end. Marc Champion says there are several factors to consider, most of all nuclear retaliation if Tehran gets the nuclear weapons Israel so desperately wants to prevent it from developing.

Six Decades of Spelling Warren Buffett's Name Wrong
This is Bloomberg Opinion Today, a beauty contest of Bloomberg Opinion's opinions. Sign up here. Warren Buffett's last name is one of the great ires of business journalism. I've seen it spelled wrong countless times in social posts and even headlines. But news of his retirement provides the perfect excuse for those who fail to remember the second 't' at the end of his surname. Technically speaking, we really do have a Warren buffet for you today!
