FHLC lobbying for tax breaks on home equity is scandalous.

We don't need more government involvement in the mortgage market. We need less...!

Pls don't let the lobbyists get away with this. 🫥

53%+ tax rate on incremental earned income is enough to cause one to consider offshore trusts... 😢

We don't want our country to come to that. 🙄

"Banks as Digital ID Brokers"https://t.co/zb6z8EGZAM seems like a challenging idea, given that all the Top US Banks have a negative NPS...

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jennschenker - isn't the fact that all the top US banks have a negative NPS, an impediment to the notion of "banks as digital ID broker"?

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jasonlk - not that surprising. @Pinterest has more users, is growing faster & in a space (visual search) that is much harder to solve....

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

Does anyone believe all the capital can be put to use productively by these "startups" (btw - w/ $100M+ round, can you still claim startup)?

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

"There were 34 $100M+ mega-rounds in Q3’16" - @CBinsights
Still an astonishing # of huge venture financing rounds, even if down by 1/2

Latest mktg neologism that makes me think the author no clue:
"marketers should segment accts into factors like... firmographic capability"

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jasonlk - have good early stage VCs ever invested in anything else...? :)

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

Scaling capacity is very challenging when you go from 0 to 10M+ users in 5 days...

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jasonlk - you avail to catch up?

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@MarcBodnick - you avail next week or week of 7/11 to get together?

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jasonlk - Congrats on the SaaStr Fund! Terrific accomplishment. I'd love to learn more. Are you available to get together sometime?

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@pymnts this is only because supply of VC capital > "obvious" quality Ser B+ startups; driven by fund sizes too large. #workingforfees...

#healthcare #payments slowly changing:
"UnitedHealth will pay Cancer Center set sum for a year of treatment..." http://t.co/0m1Ayx5XiT

Is this something to celebrate - or just evidence of excess competition in meal delivery startups...? http://t.co/kJVtO226BO.

[Kyle Enright @KyleEnright]

@jasonlk hey dude - just FYI. It's super hard to figure out if one's actually signed up for this. Maybe it's the move from free - > pay??

@pymnts Tip to conference organizers: allocate more time to panelists, less to moderators and the paid commercials...
