@VDHanson You’re a national treasure Victor. You bring so much to my life and I wish you a speedy and full recovery.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@jackfowler @MZHemingway @VDHanson @DailySignal @HooverInst Thanks for the update. You are in our hearts and prayers Victor. You are truly a national treasure and I wish you a speedy recovery.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ScottAdamsSays RIP Scott. You truly changed lives, mine included. Thanks for living such a great life and helping all of us see a bit more clearly.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ScottAdamsSays I sure hope you recover soon. Kaiser is great when you’re healthy, but terrible when you have complex issues. Nobody to be the captain of your ship. Be the squeaky wheel!

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ScottAdamsSays You changed my life years ago. I was climbing corporate ladders but after reading Dilbert, I realized what really happens in management so I dropped out and started a successful business which I sold in 2015 and retired comfortably. I’m in Pleasanton and love Coffee with Scott.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ScottAdamsSays As a fellow Pleasanton resident and devotee of Coffee with Scott, I’m so happy to hear you’re getting what you need. Praying it works and that we’ll have you around for a long time. Thanks for everything you’ve done for our world Scott. You have improved many lives.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ScottAdamsSays So happy this is happening for you. Finally. Kaiser is a victim of its own success. Bloated bureaucracy with pointy haired bosses at the top and several levels down.

@bftcpa @Zoho So sorry to miss this one. Next year!

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@sandraklo @Zoho Sorry I missed you guys this time.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@svembu Completely agree. And EMBRACE the input, no matter how disturbing. No need to agree, but embrace it and look for truth. Keep in mind it may be rubbish, but perhaps there are at least some truths in whatever you detractors are communicating.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@elonmusk Lock em up!

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@KevinKileyCA Please run for governor! California needs you

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@SecRubio Marco, you are doing a fantastic job so far. Thanks for your plain spoken, honest and well thought out announcements and responses to the media. Keep it up!

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@SecState Marco you are doing a fantastic job so far. Very impressive how you speak plainly and honestly. Keep it up.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@ZavalaA @CCACalifornia Thanks for working to increase transparency in the California government. The democrat supermajority is killing this state, and we need to help the voters learn more about exactly what’s going on and who is supposedly representing us. It starts with transparency.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

Why is it that so many small-town, humble people who achieve global success (there aren’t many), tend to forget their roots. How many are willing to call out the problems and suggest solutions that prevent most people from achieving success? @svembu is worth listening to.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

I have used the analogy "Flash floods can destroy existing ponds, leaving less water after the flood recedes". This is the structural damage caused by flash floods.

Financial bubbles (floods) are similar and they can have far ranging effects. When money pours into an industry too rapidly, it sucks resources, and can leave us with fewer capabilities than before, in other critical sectors that get neglected during the flood of money.

There is a reason Intel needs help from TSMC now - for at least a generation now, the smartest talent in silicon valley did not go into fabs. No investor would touch that sector because no big exits.

This is why financial bubbles are so damaging. And the longer a bubble lasts, the more structural (and cultural) damage it inflicts to more sectors.

In the Indian context, the IT industry sucked all the oxygen for a long time, leading to impairment and neglect of capabilities in numerous other critical industries.

We have to make up for lost time.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@svembu @sahil_vi He is correct Sridhar. You are one in a Billion. Please keep articulating the problems and solutions as you see them. Your global yet local perspectives are what everyone else who achieves what you have seem to forget along the way. Stay on course and keep evangelizing.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@svembu Also, too often, raising children is done by tech devices that are infused with more cultural rot, so we’re getting exactly the opposite of what we sought with all the technology innovation.

[Doug Sleeter @DougSleeter]

@svembu Great observations Sridhar. The cultural rot in our society has contributed heavily to what you observe. Children are no longer allowed to “go out and play” because people are fearful of each other. Also, the huge decline in 2-parent households means mothers are more absent.
