Happy Independence Day! Some context, it took 63.5 months of brutal fighting to make the declaration of independence a reality. In today's numbers it would cost roughly 3.5 million lives & roughly $227,542.00 per capita over that time period. All the Respect!

But hey, tips are tax fee now…. So at least someone is getting some benefit out of it. Just not the ground troops….

[Jason Giblet @BigGib1973]

So I’m at the OU/Illinois game and I’m checking out at the concession stand (Note, I’m in a wheelchair so I can’t see the screen) the checker (helping me) just tapped through the tip screen, I looked at her and said hey does any of that go to you? She said no, sir it does not…

[Jason Giblet @BigGib1973]

So the next time you see that screen, just know, that’s not a tip to the people actually working their asses off.

@andrewrsorkin They already have an equity stake, it’s called income tax.

[Jason Giblet @BigGib1973]

Definitely believe this to be true.

The only thing more dangerous than ignorance, is arrogance….

They're likely to be more concerned with appearances than actually achieving the goal; this can lead to ruin over time. #principleoftheday

Totally canceling my no ads subscription to $NFLX after this blatant display of incompetence tonight during the Tyson fight.

[Jason Giblet @BigGib1973]

$NFLX sucks! Sell all!

Thoughts to ponder….

FACT CHECK: Some politicians blame the fentanyl overdose crisis on immigration, which is inaccurate. 80% of those caught with fentanyl at US ports of entry from 2019-2024 were US citizens. Time to stop blaming the crisis on immigration. #Fentanyl #Border #Data

Congrats to Kat Meacham! We’re all proud of you!

Open-mindedness doesn't mean going along with what you don't believe in; it means considering the reasoning of others instead of stubbornly and illogically holding on to your own point of view. To be radically open-minded, you need to be so open to the possibility that you could be wrong that you encourage others to tell you so.

Integrity comes from the Latin word integritas, meaning "one" or "whole." People who are one way on the inside and another way on the outside--i.e., not "whole"--lack integrity; they have "duality" instead. While presenting your view as something other than it is can sometimes be easier in the moment (because you can avoid conflict, or embarrassment, or achieve some other short-term goal), the secondand third-order effects of having integrity and avoiding duality are immense. People who are one way on the inside and another on the outside become conflicted and often lose touch with their own values. It's difficult for them to be happy and almost impossible for them to be their best.

Aligning what you say with what you think and what you think with what you feel will make you much happier and much more successful. Thinking solely about what's accurate instead of how it is perceived pushes you to focus on the most important things. It helps you sort through people and places because you'll be drawn to people and places that are open and honest. It's also fairer to those around you: Making judgments about people so that they are tried and sentenced in your head, without asking for their perspective, is both unethical and unproductive. Having nothing to hide relieves stress and builds trust.
