Is 400 CFM per Ton Always Right? w/ Ty

400 CFM per ton is useful—until it isn't. In this episode, Bryan and Ty take on one of the trade's favorite rules of thumb. It can be a reasonable starting point for many systems under moderate, near-sea-level conditions, but it is not a universal target. Proper airflow depends on actual delivered capacity, sensible and latent load, air density, climate, manufacturer data, and what the system is supposed to accomplish—not just the tonnage stamped on the cabinet. They explain why dry-climate and high-altitude applications may require more volume airflow, why humid applications often use less coil airflow to improve moisture removal, and why mass flow matters more than volume alone. They also cover nominal versus actual capacity, suction-line pressure drop, equipment-specific performance at 208 V, Manual S and expanded performance data, and field verification with measureQuick and the TrueFlow® Grid. The takeaway is simple: use the rule as scaffolding, then measure the system and follow the equipment data. This episode contains embedded sponsor messages from Refrigeration Technologies, Carrier, NAVAC, and Filtrete.

He critiques procurement and consolidation after the 1993 "Last Supper," and highlights troubled systems including the Zumwalt, Littoral Combat Ship, Ford-class EMALS, aircraft carriers, and the F-35's low readiness rates. He emphasizes the revolution of cheap FPV/UAV warfare, salvo competition in air defense, depleted munitions stockpiles (including Stingers), limited U.S. homeland missile defense, and vulnerabilities such as container-launched drones.

8.21.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Trump May Rename Carrier Honoring Black WWII Hero. Karmelo Anthony New Trial Fight. Karen Bass Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is locked in a competitive re-election race. She joins us live to discuss her campaign and the backlash she is facing over a donation-matching program. Karmelo Anthony's trial attorney testifies on the second day of the motion for a new trial. The defense says instructions given to the jury made it unfairly difficult to argue Anthony's self-defense claim. The racist Trump administration is attempting to erase Black history... again. This time with the U.S. Navy by considering renaming the USS Doris Miller aircraft carrier. There's only one guess what he wants the new name to be...the draft-dodging occupant of the Oval Office. We'll talk to Doris Miller's Great-Great-Grandniece about this proposal. A Black North Carolina woman gets detained for refusing to give over her Ring camera video to police. We'll show you what happened. We'll show you the body camera video of an Arkansas cop who is now on leave after pointing his weapon at the head of an unarmed black man.

Jon Herold and Chris Paul open with a media narrative they're not buying: reports of low morale aboard a deployed carrier near the Strait of Hormuz, which they frame as a coordinated pressure campaign to get Trump to back off his Iran messaging. From there they roll straight into Trump's own Hormuz clip and some Monroe Doctrine talk. The middle stretch bounces through a Fauci clip, JD Vance commentary, and a CNN mixup calling something "Indiana" that clearly wasn't. Caroline Leavitt gets her own segment, with the guys questioning why Trump even needs a press secretary when he can just tweet whatever he wants directly. There's also a genuinely odd discovery: the National Trust for Historic Preservation apparently spent a hundred and forty five million dollars abroad last year, which raises more questions than it answers. Toss in a White House Correspondents' dinner throwback and a Joshua Baez segment, and it's a packed one.

Chapters: :00     - 17:00    - 2027 AEP Overview 17:00 - 41:00    - HealthSpring 41:00- 1:05:00 - Aetna   The 2027 AEP season is here, and with it comes significant changes that every Medicare agent needs to understand. In the first episode of a special two-part Carrier Rollout Series, co-hosts Josh Slattery and David Ireland break down the latest carrier announcements, industry trends, and regulatory updates shaping the upcoming Annual Enrollment Period. The discussion begins with the continued impact of the Inflation Reduction Act on the Medicare Advantage market. As plan revenues struggle to keep pace with rising healthcare costs, carriers are making strategic adjustments to benefits, networks, and product offerings. Josh and David explain what these market pressures mean for agents and how they may influence client conversations during AEP. The episode also explores key carrier updates, including HealthSpring's transition to the HCSC brand and its continued focus on HMO products and Dual Special Needs Plan (DSNP) expansion. The hosts discuss Aetna's strategy centered on network efficiency and product enhancements, noting that approximately 60% of members are expected to experience stable or improved benefits despite ongoing market challenges. Beyond carrier-specific news, the conversation covers important regulatory updates, changes to the SSBCI qualification process, and why ancillary products will continue to play a vital role in helping clients address coverage gaps. Josh and David also preview additional carrier releases, market expansions, and emerging opportunities that agents should be watching as the rollout season continues. Whether you're preparing for your first client appointment or refining your AEP strategy, this episode provides the insights needed to stay informed and confident heading into the 2027 selling season.

Introduction How much of your agency's new business comes from a source you don't control? Jake Cash spent five and a half years inside GEICO's national agency marketing operation, managing more than $500 million in ad spend, and watched the fastest-growing agencies ride a single channel up and then back down. On this episode of the Insurtech Leadership Podcast, he and host Joshua R. Hollander get into what it takes for a P&C agency to own its growth engine instead of renting it, and why the answer usually starts with the book of business the agency already has. Guest Bio Jake Cash is the Founder and CEO of Senryx Group, a Carmel, Indiana firm that builds marketing systems P&C agencies own and run themselves. At GEICO he led agency marketing strategy for more than 300 agencies nationwide, managed over $500 million in ad spend, and negotiated partnerships with Meta, Google, and NBA and MLB teams. He left that Fortune 500 seat (the same day his wife returned from maternity leave and his daughter started daycare) to build Senryx around a diagnostic-first model with no retainer lock-in: assess and plan, build the systems, then train the agency's own team to run them. His goal for most clients is self-sufficiency within six to twelve months. Key Topics -The five buckets of dependence - Carrier, channel, tactic, people, and vendor dependency, and how Senryx diagnoses which ones are capping an agency's growth. -The 50% red flag - Why more than half of new business coming from one source is a vulnerability, and the first question every owner should be able to answer. -From 100 to 800 policies a month - The 18-month rebuild of a Texas personal lines agency, and the channel mix (Google ads, Meta ads, cross-sell email, organic social) behind it. -The book you already have - Retention runs seven to nine times cheaper than acquisition, and cross-sell revenue is already sitting in the existing client base. -Owning your data - Lead vendors sell the same lead to five or ten agencies and share nothing, while owned ad accounts and email put the numbers in the agency's hands. -AI: admin speed over content volume - Where AI actually helps an agency today, why unedited AI content fails, and Senryx's early tests running ads inside ChatGPT. -Hiring for growth mindset - What roughly 30 hires in 10 years taught Jake, and why owners have to stop wearing every hat around the $1M revenue mark. Notable Quotes "If you don't know where you're getting new business from, then you're just flying blind." "A lot of times there's kind of a secret pile of cash that's already sitting in your book of business." "You're just getting the average of the internet as the reply." "If we get to a point where they don't need us anymore, then we've done our job."

In this debut episode of The Collective on Supply Chain Now, a powerhouse panel of battle-proven commerce veterans comes together to dive deep into the forces currently reshaping the global trade landscape. The panel features Kim Reuter (Chief Advisor and Leader at CSG Consulting), Derreck Travers, Jack Mowreader (Founder & Principal at Ascendant Business Solutions), and Kerry Gibson-Morris (VP of Global Sourcing & Product Development at BDA, LLC).  Drawing on their extensive experience building foundational programs at Amazon and scaling operations across air cargo, trucking, luxury retail, and finance, the team breaks down the critical shifts in modern supply chain management and where the industry is heading next. Kerry kicks off the conversation with a frank look at AI in smart sourcing, warning against the trap of treating technology as a total labor replacement rather than a strategic amplifier. She emphasizes the critical need for "checking the checker," maintaining strict data hygiene, and exercising executive oversight to avoid costly operational mistakes. Jack pivots the focus to the financial volatility of modern trade, breaking down how rapid tariff changes, shifting de minimis policies, and shorter planning cycles are forcing companies to abandon hyper-lean "just-in-time" models in favor of strategic safety stock and bonded warehousing. Finally, Derreck unpacks the massive wave of industry consolidation, highlighting CMA CGM's acquisition of FedEx's supply chain unit, and analyzes why M&A deals often fail to deliver customer value, drive up costs, and open doors for nimble market disruptors. If you're looking for an unvarnished, real-world breakdown of where supply chain, leadership, and modern trade are actually heading, this conversation earns its time.   Jump into the conversation: (00:00) Intro (02:44) Introducing The Collective (05:15) AI and smart sourcing (11:22) Checking the checker: Data integrity & oversight (14:39) The financial risks of AI (17:08) Tech hype vs. system architecture (21:06) Tariff volatility and financial risks (27:36) Domino effects in alternative sourcing markets (28:47) Re-evaluating just-in-time inventory (32:46) Foreign trade zones and bonded warehousing (34:16) Carrier consolidation (CMA CGM & FedEx) (38:19) What industry consolidation means for e-commerce (49:53) Looking ahead: agentic commerce Additional Links & Resources: Connect with Kim Reuter: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimberly-reuter-csg/ Learn more about CSG Consulting: https://www.clarityscalegrowth.com/ Connect with Derreck Travers: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrecktravers/ Connect with Jack Mowreader: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jmowreader/ Learn more about Ascendant Business Solutions: Connect with Kerry Gibson-Morris: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kerry-gibson-morris-179453/ Learn more about BDA, LLC: https://www.bdainc.com Learn more about our hosts: https://supplychainnow.com/about Learn more about Supply Chain Now: https://supplychainnow.com Watch and listen to more Supply Chain Now episodes here: https://supplychainnow.com/program/supply-chain-now Subscribe to Supply Chain Now on your favorite platform: https://supplychainnow.com/join Work with us!

Your Carrier Doesn't Have an AI Problem. It Has an Adoption Problem

Introduction Building the model is no longer the hard part of insurance AI. The hard part now is getting underwriters and carriers to actually adopt it. Josh Hollander sits down with Roger Ferrandis, Head of Partnerships at Sixfold, whose AI now runs inside carriers like Zurich, Guardian, and Skyward Specialty, to talk about how trust actually gets built: proof-of-concept by proof-of-concept, underwriter by underwriter, and market by market through partners who already have the relationships. Guest Bio Roger Ferrandis is Head of Partnerships at Sixfold, the AI underwriting platform. Originally from Spain, he spent seven years in the UK, where he co-founded WeAnalyze, an underwriting data startup he helped grow to 25 employees, $3 million raised, and clients on three continents before it pivoted to banking. He chose insurance over banking, moved to New York, and now runs Sixfold's global partner strategy across systems integrators, reinsurers, data providers, and cloud marketplaces. Key Topics -Adoption is the product problem now - Leadership teams know they need AI, hand it to someone to evaluate, and that person's reference point is ChatGPT making mistakes, so skepticism is the default starting position. -How trust gets built in a POC - Sixfold runs known submissions through its AI, compares decisions with the underwriters, feeds their reasoning back into the model, and iterates until 90-95% of outcomes match, which is when confidence flips. -Amplify, not replace - Sixfold is not chasing full automation; the goal is an underwriter handling four submissions in the time one used to take, with clients choosing their own comfort level on straight-through processing. -The ROI stack - Clients measure 50% time saved per submission, quote-to-bind up 15%, and gross written premium per underwriter up 30%. -Partnerships as market entry - Munich Re's Realytix platform, Microsoft's Azure marketplace, Adnovum in Switzerland, and Sollers Consulting in Poland each open doors that direct sales cannot, especially across Europe's twenty-plus selling cultures. -Build versus buy, honestly argued - Sixfold's model has trained on nothing but underwriting for three years, and Roger's warning to carriers building in-house is that the technology shifts faster than an internal build can keep up with. -Involve the underwriters - His advice to carrier leadership: do not delegate AI evaluation and hope for the best, because if underwriters do not buy in, nothing happens. Notable Quotes "We can sell to C-levels. But if underwriters are not happy with our solution, nothing's going to happen." "With that iteration, we get to a point where at least ninety or ninety-five percent of the outcomes of the brain are the same outcomes the underwriter will have. When they see that level of accuracy, that's when we gain their confidence." "If an underwriter used to deal with one submission every hour, we want them to be able to deal with four." "By the time you build something yourself, the whole technology has changed so much that you need to rebuild it."

It's called Horsegirls, and it centers on a 22-year-old woman named Margarita who is trying to figure out her own independence while dealing with her mother's illness returning. What makes the dynamic so fascinating is that Margarita has autism, and she finds her outlet and a sense of control through the world of hobbyhorsing.

This week we talk about air conditioners, pressure systems, and heat stress.We also discuss weather memes, climate change, and dirty grids.Recommended Book: Battle of the Linguist Mages by Scotto MooreTranscriptAn air conditioner, or AC, or maybe air con if you're in the UK, is a device that moves heat from one location to another. In doing so, it usually dehumidifies the air, as well, so it can rapidly cool a room or entire building by shifting both heat and humidity from that room or building, elsewhere—usually outside.This is basically the same technology used in refrigerators, a process called vapor compression allowing the device to circulate a substance called refrigerant using a compressor, a condenser, an evaporator, and an expansion valve, which—and this is a very superficial explanation of what's happening—but these components take advantage of forced circulation and a phase-change between gas and liquid to transfer heat from the room you want to cool, or the inside of the refrigerator, and move that heat outside your building, or to the back and/or bottom of the fridge.This is a far more active mode of air conditioning, of cooling and dehumidifying the air, than has been used throughout history. Most early methods relied on passive approaches, including but not limited to architectural elements, the use of plants and optimization of air flow, or creating basement areas for things that needed to stay cool.Researchers have dabbled with more active methods of conditioning air for centuries, though, and several 19th century inventions served as precursors for the first iteration of modern ACs, some of which were used to create ice, which was useful unto itself, but could also be used to cool a room, if far less effectively and efficiently than an actual, holistic AC unit.In 1894, industrial-grade ammonia compressors, powered by electricity, made this category of device suitable for urban environments; previously they just were far too bulky and difficult to power for city use. By 1896, the Hungarian engineer who came up with this new riff on the theme, István Röck, was manufacturing what he called dry air cooling apparatuses for hospitals, theaters, and other large spaces.Just five years later, in 1901, an American inventor named Willis H Carrier developed what's widely considered to be the first modern electrical AC unit, selling the first one to a lithography company in New York, before patenting the term air conditioning in 1906. The first residential version of this device was installed in 1914, and in 1915 the Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America was formed—a business that still exists today.The impact of air conditioning, and this general technology category, as again, it's also used in modern refrigeration units, cannot be overstated. This tech didn't become widespread in the US, which is where it initially took off, in large part due to Carrier and other AC businesses' presence in the States, until the mid-20th century, and before that, before the 1950s, the state of Florida was technically occupied, but only just barely because of its extreme heat and humidity and abundance of mosquitos. The population of Florida in 1950 was about 2.7 million, and today it's about 23.5 million—that influx of people began after AC units became standard in buildings across the state, and the country. We've seen similar migrations as a result of too-hot places sudden becoming a lot more pleasant.Similarly, refrigeration enabled a boggling amount of change within the food and beverage industry, the chemicals and industrial materials industries, and the healthcare and life science industries, because before the advent of the cold chain—the system of refrigerated spaces, including boxes and trucks and planes and ships that allowed medicines and foods and other substances to stay cold from their origin to their end-consumer—it simply wasn't possible to sell or create or work with many of these products and materials.The distribution of this technology is not universal or equal, however, and in some cases that inequality, that lack of access to this technology in some spaces, is the result of choice, not inaccessibility. And that's what I'd like to talk about today: the spread, or lack thereof, of AC technologies and products, and how a recent heat wave in Europe may lead to more installations of this type of product across the continent.—Beginning in late-May of 2026, a series of severe heatwaves engulfed Europe, and especially Western Europe, breaking all sorts of temperature records and leading to a bunch of heat-related deaths.A recent meme gives a good sense of just how bad this heat wave has been.Back in 2014, as part of a campaign by the World Meteorological Organization, dozens of weather presenters from around the world were invited to record fictionalized weather reports from 2050, with the intention of giving people a sense of how global climate change might impact daily life even as soon as just 36 years in the future.One of these presenters, from France, gave a report of an imagined scenario in which a heat wave descended upon Europe, showing temperatures of 40 degrees celsius, which is about 104 degrees Fahrenheit, with some areas seeing temperatures as high as 43 C or 109.4 degrees F.This was generally considered to be a baffling, maybe even sci-fi sort of prediction at the time. But this clip has resurfaced and widely shared, as, just 12 years later, not 36, this recent heat wave has not just met, but in some cases surpassed that imagined, too-crazy-to-be-real European heat wave scenario.Across much of Western Europe, those temperatures milestones were hit, and in a few locations they were beat by as much as 20 degrees F.For a few days in France, temperatures were higher than in Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona, coming within 2 degrees F of temperatures in famously too-hot Death Valley, California.All-time high temperature records were broken in Germany, and a handful of other countries are waiting to see if provisionally recorded high-temperatures they experienced hold up, to see if their own records will be broken. The UK recorded a temperature of 37.1 C (98.78 F), the Netherlands saw a top temperature of 39.4 C (nearly 103 F), Belgium hit 40 C (104 F), and Germany recorded 41.3 C (106.3 F)—all temperatures that are 5-12 C above seasonable averages, and this has led to all manner of infrastructural issues, as well.A nuclear power plant in Switzerland had to take both reactors off the grid because the temperature of the river that cools it got too hot, a Eurostar train broke down east of Brussels with about 400 people on board, and 3 people had to be taken to the hospital. A bunch of big public events were cancelled, hospitals were filled to the point of having to triage visitors, and, if these on-the-ground issues weren't enough, researchers in Switzerland have warned that almost all of the winter reserves built up on their glaciers are gone, which suggests the glaciers themselves will begin melting soon—something that usually doesn't start happening until August.This heat wave was the result of a potent heat dome, which is a pocket of high pressure that developed as a result of jet stream fluctuations that pulled hot air north, out of warmer portions of Africa. This type of high pressure pocket can then cause the heat it gathers to just sit there, unmoving, whereas typically it would be pushed around, causing it to disperse, and to thus not have such a significant impact on people and other life on the ground.Unfortunately, these sorts of disruptions to the previous climatic norm are becoming more common as the climate shifts, due to the accumulation of CO2 and other heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere. The regulating systems we've evolved with are changing because there's more overall energy, more heat, powering these systems across the planet, and that means we're no longer able to predict them as accurately, but also that some of these systems could fundamentally change or disappear, possibly in the near future.Events like this, which are currently rare, then, could soon become common. And meteorologists in Europe have warned, during this major heat wave, that this sort of event could be a regular thing, and soon, and could even last a lot longer; not a matter of days or weeks, but possibly spanning months at a time, without reprieve.That's not great news for a continent that, until now, has generally been pretty okay with its existing heat and weather infrastructure. Unlike the US and other countries that have some incredibly hot regions, leading to the widespread installation of AC units, only about 20% of homes across Europe have AC installed. As a result, as this heat wave descended on the area, trapping heat inside buildings that were constructed with cooler weather in mind, people have been unable to remain indoors, to work, to sleep; it's been miserable. And in some cases, deadly; the combination of heat and humidity making it more difficult for peoples' bodies to regulate heat via sweat, and that's led to an increase in heat stress on their bodies—which is just a miserable thing to deal with, but it also means a lot of people, including but not limited to the very young and very old, are more likely to die, their bodies simply incapable of handling that level of persistent temperature strain.Back in the summer of 2022, during another, less intense heat wave, more than 60,000 people died across Europe due to heat stress and related ailments. The numbers are still out on this more recent heat wave, but the stats are expected to be pretty grim, as in addition to the individual strain people in these afflicted areas are suffering, infrastructure tends to collapse in unprepared areas, hospitals not functioning or not functioning well, their machines and IT systems failing due to the heat, and the medical professionals working in these places suffering alongside everyone else, their bodies under constant heat stress, not getting enough sleep, and so on. There have already been a lot of reports of children dying of heat stress after being left in cars for short periods, and people drowning in large numbers, trying to cool off un-moderated bodies of water.The conversation that tends to bubble up in the wake of such incidents is representative of the larger conversation around climate change and its impacts.Air conditioning, and lower-powered, but just as effective heating and cooling options like heat pumps, which are basically ACs that work in both directions, but which tend to consume less energy than conventional AC units, these devices are amazing short-term solutions and help people survive and thrive in even the hottest, most humid and unwelcoming environments and climates.They also require, especially in the case of conventional ACs, a whole lot of power. And across much of the world right now, that means burning fossil fuels.The sad irony is that in powering these devices that are more necessary because of climate change impacts, people and institutions are contributing more to that large-scale problem, worsening the impacts of climate change, which then necessitates more artificial, power-hungry cooling.Experts continue to remind lawmakers and others in the position to make big-picture decisions on these sorts of matters that there are a lot of opportunities to reduce ground-level temperatures in passive, non-energy-hungry ways.Painting large surfaces brighter colors so more heat is reflected rather than absorbed, planting more trees and other greenery, installing solar panels, using passive building materials and architectural techniques to improve insulation and air flow; there's a lot of low-hanging fruit for areas that are becoming warmer, and which would otherwise require a lot more energy and fossil fuel burning just to keep life tolerable and survivable.Unfortunately, many of these options aren't widespread or even well-known, and the short-term solutions, like conventional AC units, are quick and effective, and a lot easier, currently at least, to install than superior options, like heat pumps.There's a good chance, then, than the most impacted areas will become even bigger contributors to the problems they're trying to solve; until larger-scale incentives, subsidies, and policies change that status quo, at least.Show Noteshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/climate/europe-fastest-warming-continent.htmlhttps://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2026/jun/24/europe-heatwave-live-news-updates-uk-record-breaking-temperatures-italy-red-alerthttps://arstechnica.com/science/2026/06/the-sad-inevitability-of-europes-heat-wave/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/27/climate/europe-heat-wave-nuclear-trains-infrastructure.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/weather/europe-heat-wave-temperatures.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/world/europe/europe-heat-climate-change-politics.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/world/europe/france-heat-alcohol-paris-ban.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/26/climate/europe-heat-wave-climate-change.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/france-children-heat-cars-deaths.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/heat-wave.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/arts/europe-museums-heat.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/weather/belgium-heat-wave-brussels.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/world/europe/paris-canal-swimming-heatwave-france.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/climate/europe-fastest-warming-continent.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_European_heatwaveshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_Kingdom_heatwaveshttps://www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026/06/25/french-tv-presenter-once-imagined-2050-heat-wave-did-france-reach-those-levels-this-week/https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/26/climate/european-heat-wave-impossible-global-warminghttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/europe-air-conditioning-deadly-heat-waves-more-common/https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2026/06/europe-air-conditioning/687711/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_conditioninghttps://www.theguardian.com/society/2026/jun/25/hospitals-nhs-england-critical-incidents-machines-it-fail-extreme-heat This is a public episode.

The Knicks just won the NBA Finals — and José Alvarado led the Puerto Rican Day Parade the next morning. But while New York was celebrating, something else was quietly happening in the Caribbean: a US carrier strike group just parked itself 90 miles from Havana. Henry and Danny — with help from AI guest Tio Raul — break down the full arc of America's 125-year obsession with Cuba. From the first concentration camps in history, to the mob-run casino island Batista built for American business, to Fidel's guerrilla campaign on a 10-person yacht with 81 men aboard, to the Cuban tank crews that went and fought Israel on a mountain in Syria — this island punches so far above its weight it's almost unbelievable. They also get into why Cuba deployed nearly half a million troops to Angola over 16 years, how that campaign helped end apartheid in South Africa (and what Nelson Mandela himself said about it), and how Aroldis Chapman — the hardest thrower in baseball history — had to buy his freedom from a cartel for $30 million just to pitch in the majors. And then there's Marco Rubio, whose family left Cuba under Batista — not Castro — now sitting as Secretary of State with a carrier fleet and a personal vendetta shaping US foreign policy in real time. Someone just dropped $57,000 on a prediction market betting it all goes hot before the end of 2026. Tio Raul is powered by Maneku — the AI built for real conversations.
