Numbers: Will Tabitha Ever See The Beach?(Jobs in April, Paramount, Disney) and the freaking moon.

*The jobs numbers for April 2024 weren't the big story everyone wanted it to be: 

some 170k in a month, slightly low; the bigger story to this observer was measured increase in customer cost, labor cost, with a miniscule improvement in productivity(less than 1%). 

*280 episodes of Wagon Train, running 8 seasons: if watched front-to-back with no breaks, would take 11 and a half days.

It was front to back on Universal Westerns, and Ward Bond's contribution to the series begin 5 am on Monday April 29, and ran continuously for approximately 5 days, back-to-back with only limited commercial interruption.

*Paramount might be "junk" stock to some, but its free-to-stream PlutoTV product has boosted profitability thanks to increases in advertising revenue; Q1 saw increases in subscriptions, too.

*Disney+, according to a Bloomberg pundit, "...is on the verge of profitability."

*New Moon May 7, 2024.
