@moseskagan @ASDem Ranked choice voting isn’t perfect, but I think it’s a lot better. If nothing else, the message you send with your ballot is much more contextually rich. “I like A, I’m fine with B, I really don’t like C”

I wish we had RCV here in LA at least.

@Bjorn_Akesson Extended mix. I wish I could give that preference to YouTube music 😭

@moseskagan Thanks for sharing

@pozzoron @shawngorham Lastly, on the argument that LPR’s should become U.S. citizens: plenty of reasons a LPR might not be able to. Might have to renounce from their home country, might lose benefits/opportunities from other countries , etc. citizenship and voter participation aren’t 1:1 IMO.

3/3

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@pozzoron @shawngorham Legal permanent residents pay taxes, too. There’s an argument that if LPRs have skin in the game, they should have a say in who represents them, too.

This voting power being limited to local elected offices makes some sense, too.

@ClarenceWongCRE I do that too sometimes. You probably experience this too, but sometimes you want to acknowledge what the sender said and also signal to others that you’ve acknowledged - otherwise, it looks like an unanswered/ignored email from the sender.

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@ClarenceWongCRE If it’s within the same server/client environment (outlook with an exchange email account, or Gmail for a g-suite account), you just see the react and don’t get a new email each time.

I use it all the time and would love to see more of it.

2/2

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@ClarenceWongCRE This is actually a great feature. We are all inundated with so many emails, and the 👍🏻 react is a great way to acknowledge someone’s email without reply all “thanks”.

You’re getting that email because it’s going from an exchange server to Google or vice versa.

@MichaelAlbaum Nice! Congrats 🎉 maybe the old lender will send you a gift for freeing up that capital 😂

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@realEstateTrent Yes, fine, but draw up a lease or license agreement. Same stuff as you’d have in any other lease: insurance stuff, limitations of use, etc

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@skylarromines @realEstateTrent That’s fair, I don’t blame you.

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@skylarromines @realEstateTrent I'll clarify: impress a business partner, client, lender, etc. to potentially do business, not impress someone based solely on your clothing choices.

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@skylarromines @realEstateTrent Sad and true. Acknowledging Don’s caveat (“whether we like it or not, or even agree it should matter”)—it’s part of the game. If you have the means to do it and the desire to impress someone who cares about your fashion choices, it’s worth doing.

This does need to change though

Here's a great example of this: cove. Rolling out their own architecture firm.

The leap I witnessed in AI this week has me shaken.

If you've followed me, you know I don't really make statements like this.

I've been hearing how AI will change everything for years, but there's been little beyond promises. Nothing that can be used now.

That just changed:

@cajhomes If you get a client who needs to lease office, industrial, or retail in LA or Orange County, I’m your guy. Happy to pay a 25% referral fee.

[Danny Simard @DannySimsMusic]

@GDCAndrew @AvivaRealEstate A CRE broker would have just responded that way — because they understood the question without it having to be explained.
