Netflix is a disaster right now... April 20, 2022 [View Online]( | [Sign Up]( | [Shop]( [Morning Brew]( TOGETHER WITH [FarmTogether]( Good morning. In honor of 4/20, today’s newsletter also comes in edible form. Wait 45 minutes for the news to kick in. —Neal Freyman, Max Knoblauch, Jamie Wilde MARKETS Nasdaq 13,619.66 +2.15% S&P 4,462.21 +1.61% Dow 34,911.20 +1.45% 10-Year 2.941% +8.0 bps Bitcoin $41,313.47 +1.03% Carnival $19.91 +4.57% *Stock data as of market close, cryptocurrency data as of 7:00pm ET. [Here's what these numbers mean.]( - Markets: In a flip of 2022’s investing trends, the [only sector]( in the S&P to not increase yesterday was…energy. Travel companies posted strong gains after the federal mask mandate for transportation was scrapped by a judge Monday. - Ukraine: Russian forces [began]( their major offensive in eastern Ukraine along a front that extends more than 300 miles, marking the beginning of a new phase of the war in which Russia will attempt to take control of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions. Western leaders responded to the assault by pledging to send more artillery to Ukraine’s military. COVID [The mask mandate’s bumpy landing]( [The mask mandate’s bumpy landing]( It’s been more than 36 hours since a Florida judge abruptly overturned the CDC’s federal mask mandate for transportation, and Americans are still working out the implications of that…about-face. Here’s what you need to know: In the hours after the ruling came down, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) said it would stop enforcing the mandate on public transportation and planes. Then, US airlines rushed to drop their mask requirements faster than a guy in Group D lines up while first class is boarding. - Delta, American, United, Southwest, and other major carriers have made masks optional for passengers and crew on domestic flights. - [Videos]( [emerged]( of pilots announcing the new rules mid-flight to cheers, dancing, and even a [rousing rendition]( of, “Throw away your masks.” Masks had become a major frustration for airlines, which had been lobbying to end the mandate for months. Of the record 7,060 unruly passengers incidents reported since January 2021, 70% involved masking rules, per the FAA. Airlines aren’t the only ones dropping their mask mandates in the wake of the ruling. Yesterday, Uber and Lyft also dropped their face covering requirement for passengers and drivers, and Amtrak also dropped its mandate. The US transportation system isn’t fully mask-optional, though. Masks are still being required on: - NYC public transit, as well as in taxis and Uber and Lyft vehicles. - Chicago public transportation - Boston public transit - The Los Angeles Metro Plus, masks are still required at JFK and LaGuardia airports, which means that travelers will be required to wear them while boarding but not once they get on the plane. Same in Philadelphia, where a new indoor mask mandate just took effect. While that may seem bizarre, experts believe that the risk of contracting Covid is actually higher in enclosed spaces around the airport than the planes themselves, which are equipped with high-quality filtration systems that circulate fresh air when the engines are running. Looking ahead…the Biden administration said yesterday that it plans to appeal the ruling, but only if the CDC thinks that extending the mask mandate is necessary. Before the judge overturned it, the mandate was set to expire May 3.—NF    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=The%20mask%20mandate%E2%80%99s%20bumpy%20landing%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2F2022%2F04%2F19%2Fafter-judge-drops-federal-transportation-mask-mandate-a-confusing-new-era-dawns%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%2C%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3D4904f90a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A TOGETHER WITH FARMTOGETHER [Grow your wealth with farmland investing](#) We mean that literally.

The company’s stock [plunged more than 25%]( after hours when it revealed that it lost subscribers (200,000) last quarter for the first time in more than 10 years, and it plans to lose a lot more (2 million) in the current quarter. The streaming company blamed competition and rampant password sharing for its shrinkage, estimating that more than 100 million nonpaying households use shared passwords. Co-CEO Reed Hastings said he’d be open to offering lower-priced tiers with ads. Anyone want to help Elon Musk buy Twitter? The mogul is [willing to invest]( between $10 billion and $15 billion of his own money to buy out Twitter, but he’s having “more trouble than expected” in finding co-investors to cover the total offer of $43 billion, per the NY Post.

On Tuesday, DeSantis asked state lawmakers to [consider revoking]( Disney World’s special district. FYI no, Disney World’s special district does not refer to the restaurant where they sell the massive turkey legs—it’s an administrative zone called the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Encompassing 25,000 acres, it effectively allows the company to operate as a municipal government. - Created in 1967 after a lobbying campaign by Walt Disney, Reedy Creek frees the company from seeking local approval when building new structures and exempts it from certain environmental and wastewater codes. - Reedy Creek collects property taxes and issues bonds, and more than 90% of its budget comes from Disney—avoiding the more controversial process of, say, funding a new BB-8-themed log flume with taxpayer dollars. - If the district were dissolved, some believe it could cost taxpayers, as other local governments would have to service Disney’s parks (something Disney largely does itself at the moment). Looking ahead: The Florida state legislature is planning a special session this week and could vote on the bill as soon as today.—MK    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=Disney%E2%80%99s%20special%20district%2C%20explained%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2FRon-DeSantis-disney-dont-say-gay%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%2C%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3D4904f90a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A CANNABIS [Inflation’s not out to ruin 4/20, at least]( [Cannabis bud](Francis Scialabba While other products have taken a hit from inflation, cannabis has passed. In Colorado, the price of a pound of marijuana is $799, near its [lowest level]( on record, per the state’s Department of Revenue. In fact, cannabis is relatively cheap across the board. Prices for marijuana flower, edible, and vaping products each fell by more than 11% from January 2021 to January 2022. That’s according to Headset, a cannabis analytics company that tracked sales in California, Colorado, Michigan, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington—where prices for the same products can vary wildly. Why? Since cannabis isn’t legal at the federal level, supply and demand at the state level has a [greater influence]( on its price than on those of federally legal staples like gas, milk, and eggs. Zoom out: It’s not that cannabis isn’t as affected by the same pressures causing inflation as other industries. Pinched supply chains and increased labor costs have rocked dispensaries and their suppliers. But to compete with both legal and illegal marijuana operations at the state level, businesses are eating the extra costs instead of passing them on to customers. However, some cannabis business owners are getting worried they’re eating too much…a feeling some of you may experience later today.—JW    mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20this%20story%20from%20Morning%20Brew%21&body=Inflation%E2%80%99s%20not%20out%20to%20ruin%204%2F20%2C%20at%20least%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fstories%2Fcannabis-prices-drop-despite-inflation%3Futm_campaign%3Dmb%26utm_medium%3Dnewsletter%26utm_source%3Dmorning_brew%0A%0AWant%20more%20great%20content%3F%20Subscribe%20to%20Daily%20Brew%20%E2%80%94%20Delivering%20the%20latest%20business%20news%20from%20Wall%20St.%20to%20Silicon%20Valley%2C%20daily.%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.morningbrew.com%2Fdaily%2Fr%2F%3Fkid%3D4904f90a%26utm_source%3Demail_share%0A GRAB BAG [Key performance indicators]( [Free Money, Step Right Up](SpongeBob SquarePants/Paramount Global via Giphy Stat: Jeff Green, the CEO of ad tech company Trade Desk, received a pay package last year that was valued at [$835 million](.
