I Almost Threw Out My Keurig. It Wasn't Broken.
Every cup from my Keurig started tasting weak, flat, stale — so I unplugged it and stuck it in a closet. Then I learned the dirty secret of grocery store K-Cups: by the time a pod reaches your kitchen, it's usually spent months going from factory to warehouse to truck to shelf. The flavor oils are long gone. Some brands even over-roast to hide it.
The fix wasn't a new machine. It was fresh pods from Angelino's, a family-owned L.A. roastery that roasts, packs, and ships within 3–5 days — straight to your door, from 39¢ a cup. Over 1,000,000 happy customers. 50+ flavors, no subscription required, and 15% off your first order, applied automatically at checkout.
About next week…
We’re seven days away from the end of the federal fiscal year. In terms of whether there will be an operational federal government, there’s not much drama—the government is funded through at least mid-December. But we could get a lot of answers about where Trump II’s investments in workforce might go from here.
By next Wednesday, Trump II must find takers for nine figures in federal workforce cash. Sneakily, these dollars will help determine whether key parts of the Trump agenda can become reality.
Below, I map out what I’m looking for and what organizations that rely on federal workforce cash should be thinking about as the money hits the street.
