Just listened to Peter Thiel complain about how hard it is to have mega companies in Europe and how everyone wants to sell and go on vacation. I am glad Europe exists as a counterpoint to the rat race that is the US. I absolutely love how life can be slow here, how money isn’t everything. How in much of Europe no one cares if you are a venture capitalist with a gazillion dollars to spend. How people don’t need to work themselves to death to prove a point. How on a Wednesday afternoon you can find people just enjoying the sun and not fretting about deliverables. How trains work. How guns are not everywhere. How road rage doesn’t not immediately lead to someone shooting you in the chest. How cities are walkable. How people are not obsessed with marriage and who pays on dates. How little purity culture there is. How people are not terrified of a naked body in public. Because in the end after you make all that money, after you build that mega company, what is it all for? What is all your success worth if in this brief life you cannot enjoy the things that make life worth living, the little things, the lakes and rivers and oceans, the mountains, the colors of nature, the taste of food, the smiles of humans who are not all judging each other based on which patch of land they own, which piece of equipment they have, and what imaginary figures they have in banks? What is human progress for if not for the enjoyment of this one brief life? And yes Europe has its problems. A lot of them. But it would be a disaster if Europe became like the US.
@SotaCaballo_Rey@Centauro_es I’ve been here for 3 hours. Seen multiple people get into shouting matches with Centauro employees. I doubt anyone that experienced this today ever rents with this company again. We certainly won’t.
People don't do margs at their besty's, they convene in the plaza, they dispose of tables & boundaries & they engage with unmatched hospitality. But had you lived there & actually done your research you would know that. Hasta la nunca! Don't slip on the grease on your way out!
@CNN this has to be one of the worst pieces of journalism I have ever read...if published by the @TheOnion however, Pulitzer-prize worthy. Only explanation is that @spain is running a campaign to deter tourism. 🧵

Indeed they fry many dishes & there's probably some fat on your cured jamón. Yet somehow Spaniards live ~5 years longer than Americans! There may be fewer crunchy hipster cafes, but there are fewer McDonald's, pesticides & preservatives. She didn't research anything, did she?

@Pledditor@fintechfrank@mdudas McCaffery came from a rich family in Greenwich. Reasonable that existence/source of $16m in real estate could’ve been hidden. The other rounds of ~13m? Not implausible someone of his ilk could raise that sort of capital frm family & friends given trajectory of crypto then.
