Seven years ago, i was traveling in asia.
i met a local. we exchanged some small talk. soon enough, he asked me how i spent my time "back home." i explained the business i was building (at the time). raising capital. the vision to build a large organization.
i'll never forget the look on his face.
he was sitting in one of those wobbly white plastic lawn chairs (you know exactly the kind i'm talking about)
he took a sip of his coffee. looked at me. and simply asked...
"why?"
not in a judgmental way. he genuinely couldn't understand why someone would spend their life trying to build something bigger than themselves.
it was a stark reminder...
ONLY IN AMERICA.
so many people around the world can't even fathom the level of opportunity that exists here. the idea that you can start with nothing, take a risk, build a business, create jobs, raise capital, and dream as big as you want is far from universal.
never take that for granted.
happy 250th birthday, america.
god bless this incredible country. 🇺🇲
@DemSocialists If only we could run a real life experiment by dividing a country in half. Make one half socialist, the other capitalist, then watch h what happens over 70+ years to each country and see which side is better off.
🚨 Confronting the Co-Sponsors of the Stop Nick Shirley Act:
Under bill AB 2624, this video would be illegal. All an “immigration support service provider” would need to do is give you a paper saying you cannot post the video, and you would face a minimum $4,000 fine plus court costs and attorney fees.
CHIRLA the co-sponsor of this bill, has received over $80,000,000 in taxpayer dollars to help illegal immigrants. It does not allow public entry into its building and is rumored to be tied to the cartels.
When I tried to speak with a employee, they all fled and closed the building. What do they have to hide while using taxpayer funds to operate?
This is why they need this bill to pass so they can shield the public from looking into California’s corruption.
EXPOSE IT ALL.
California just raised the gas tax again. It was already the highest in the country. This tax revenue is supposed to fund transportation, yet our roads are about the worst in the country.
Our government is broken.
