️Quick Bites :
Luxury🏎 : Lamborghini witnessed record profits in 2020, despite it's Italian factory being shut for 2 months due to lockdowns, BBC reports.
The company's new SUV- The Urus accounted for nearly 60% of global sales due to the surging demand for high-end SUVs from China.
Ok, so we did the math:
If we have 108 kids, then we can receive enough stimulus money to buy the Lamborghini Murciélago, no questions asked.
The automobile company ended fiscal year 2020 with a turnover of 1.61bn euros and 7,430 cars sold worldwide.
They are also "already covered with customer orders 9 months of the year for 2021."
China is expected to overtake Germany this year as Lamborghini’s 2nd biggest market after the US.
As wealthy Chinese buyers fuel demand, seems like it's not just tech firms minting money this pandemic. Supercars been selling like hot cakes too.
Our Thoughts💡: Dudes in South Beach be getting a 3 day Lambo rental and expect you to lose your heart & morals for them lmao

Fashion 👠 : Secondhand is in fashion this spring as Gen Z embrace preowned shopping.
Kering, the luxury conglomerate that owns Gucci and Louis Vuitton, has taken a 5% stake in resale platform Vestiaire Collective.
Europe's biggest platform for luxury, preowned fashion raised $216mn in it's latest funding round, valuing the company at $1bn+.
'The sustainable investment' led by Kering is a strong bet that re-commerce will lead the future.
"We recognize this is a fundamental shift that's happening [..] so we don't want to close our eyes and pretend it's not happening", Kering group
While many high-end designers have been reluctant to jump on the secondhand bandwagon, it might just be their ticket to bolster profits and attract a new type of environmentally-conscious, matcha sippin' customer
Repairing rather than replacing is the new motto; Turns out that if you extend the lifespan of an item by just 9 months, it can reduce the environmental impact by up to 30% !
Following Alexander McQueen's partnership with Vestiaire Collective earlier this year, British fashion house Mulberry England has followed suit.
The brand will offer a selection of pre-loved pieces that have carefully restored through their Mulberry Exchange Program.
Racism ⛓:The world speaks out against Anti-Asian violence.
This comes following recent events that 8 people, including 6 Asian women, were killed in shootings at three different massage parlors in Georgia last week.
America only has 1 type of mass shooter these days. Take a guess.
Furthermore, a Law Enforcement officer casually wrote off the 8 deaths as the murderer having 'really bad day'.
Such a crappy way of saying "This is blatant terrorism caused by a white supremacist who was radicalized by a former President currently residing in Mar-a-Lago"
When we have a bad day, we eat a tub of Häagen-Dazs, down some beer and call it a night. We don't go kill a bunch of people.
Key Highlights by the Stop Asian-American Hate Group:
💡Verbal harassment makes up 69% of hate incidents
💡Physical assault makes up 11%
💡Women are 2.3 times more likely to experience hate incidents
💡45% of reports originated in California
💡An increase in Covid-related discrimination; Phrases like "Kung Flu" and "China Virus" have caused greater fear in the community
Entertainment 🎥 : After a full year, Los Angeles re-opened movie theaters last week, bringing much-needed relief to the industry.
It was a big day for movie goers as AMC and Cinemark reopened several locations as LA officially moved into the less-restrictive 'red tier'. AMC stock surged on the news.
Us: 300 shares and holding🚀
We miss the movie theater so much, they could re-release Reese Witherspoon's Legally Blonde and we'd still go see it.
When it comes to great movies, portion control is for suckers.
We mean, shows like Godzilla vs Kong getting sold out. Go figure
Our Thoughts💡: Waiting patiently in line for your AMC Popcorn is an extreme sport.
Finance 📈 : In a recent survey, about a dozen Junior Analysts at Goldman Sachs reported that they work over 95 hours a week on average and get just 5 hours of sleep every night.
They want their hours capped at 80 per week.
Damn.. Goldman Sachs got the mandem workin' like it's 1999.
Goldman Sachs' response💡: We are taking "multiple steps" to address concerns.
What Goldman really means: We hope everyone had a great weekend! Except for y'all Junior Analysts! Get back to effing work!
And NO chit chat with JP Morgan analysts at Starbucks on Wall street!
