The Founders™ are on their own this week, but even on a James-less week, the show must go on! First up, Rob and Peter discuss the tumult in Cuba, along with their personal attachments to our tragic seaside neighbor. Then, journalist David Adler joins as their guest to make his case on the particular triumph of Operation Warp Speed. His article for American Affairs Journal is a deep dive on the details of the effort is --as they say in the business-- a must read!
They also say their goodbyes to Boss Mongo. (Be sure to stop by dajoho's post to add your own.)

That is Desi, Jr portraying his father in the 1992 movie The Mambo Kings.

Rob’s scheme to sell American used cars in Cuba reminds me of my unwritten rule for Naval Aviators tasked with identifying merchant ships in the waters of East Asia:
If the decks are crammed with used automobiles, it is a homeward bound Russian ship. If the decks are crammed with trashed bicycles, it’s a homeward bound North Korean.

Is it just because James wasn't there to
pushshepherd things along, that resulted in Peter and Rob having more time to dwell on different subjects and stories? Or was it more because - for once in a rare time - neither of them had somewhere else they had to be, within an hour or less?If it was, indeed, mostly about James not being there cracking the whip, that allowed things to relax some, then maybe it isn't such a bad thing if James takes a day off occasionally.
