@NelsonXLee Completely agree and that's what I did starting out. It's just not realistic for every age.

@EricDLombardi Not sure this is the political win you think it is. The US taxes citizens abroad, but most end up paying little or nothing once foreign tax credits and exclusions kick in. It would add complexity and administrative load for the CRA, which already has its issues.

@jackiechanisme You didn't meet enough people.

@nickbilton Congrats! Happy to hear there’s reason to tune into 60 Minutes again.

@adamislucky @melkuo Since when is solving problems for humanity martyrdom?

[Amanda Rose @amanda]

@adamislucky @melkuo Imagine if Bezos gave the same relentless focus and aimed it at clean water access. 700 million people don't have it. Fixing it ripples into education, health, economic output. It's an infrastructure and systems problem. The scale would be incomparable.

@adamislucky @melkuo If you applied the same operator mindset that built Amazon and AWS to a public problem, it would look like sustained focus on one area over time, with an emphasis on reducing fragmentation and improving how work is coordinated across orgs rather than split across separate efforts

[Amanda Rose @amanda]

@adamislucky @melkuo If he prioritized charitable work with the same intensity he’s brought to his ventures, I’d argue the opposite might be true. Though it’s hard to compare apples and oranges.

@shiralazar @shortyawards @mcuban @WhatsTrending No one deserves it more than you. xx

@mattgurney Refreshing to read such a balanced take. It’s exhausting being constantly fed content from grifters trying to rally their "side" on here. Thanks.

@elevatereport You certainly live in your own reality.

@destraynor @agupta Or just too early.

@destraynor @agupta Not all companies should be taking investment. If 100 VCs won’t invest, it doesn’t necessarily mean you have a bad idea. It could just mean your business isn’t the moonshot they’re looking for. It could still become a very profitable company.

@internetvin In the days after the Haiti earthquake in 2010, we crowdsourced donations of BlackBerry phones for nonprofits like @Concern working on the ground. Aside from satellite phones, they were one of the few ways to reliably communicate.

@VasRealEstate It's going to save the condo tens of thousands in future maintenance repairs to just have a location on each floor instead. Ask anyone that's sat on a condo board. Chutes sound great, but people throw the most ridiculous things down and it gets stuck constantly.

@idiom_bytes Kudos for putting in the work 👏

@donnelly_b When did the Dominion List actually start? It’s much easier to track the last couple years vs 20 years ago. That’s not to say it’s not increasing as it becomes easier and cheaper to create tech companies, but I wouldn’t buy into the hype that there’s some sort of sudden exodus.
