@smerconish What happened to candidates earning our vote; vs US giving them our vote? RFK talked about issues and espoused policies that got me excited to vote for him. Neither Trump nor Harris has earned my vote. For the first time in my adult life I'll sit out this presidential election.

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets

@TruistNews received your message about charging for more than 6 withdrawals (including ATM). You want to charge me for getting my money? How about one large withdrawal to close my account?

Some mantras for political thinking:

Truth is hard.

Humility is hard.

Independent thinking is hard.

Resisting tribalism is hard.

Over and over, you will forget that these things are hard, and that's probably when you'll fail at them.

"College credentials still do lead many to increased earnings, but the rapid increases in college costs [500% since the 1980s], coupled with such a strong labor market, have made the payoff for a college degree no longer a sure thing." https://t.co/6WmDV5mPTA

I've now been asked multiple times for my take on Elon's offer for Twitter.

So fine, this is what I think about that. I will assume the takeover succeeds, and he takes Twitter private. (I have little knowledge/insight into how actual takeover battles work or play out)
