@bhalligan This was a FANTASTIC episode! The world needs more Ben Horowitz “tell it like it is” speak.

@jasonfried Interesting design… kinda looks like a commercial office

Jamie Dimon is one of the world's most respected business leaders. Politically he is a centrist. He is pro-business and pro-free enterprise, but also supportive of well-designed social programs and rational tax policies that can help the less fortunate. He is extremely smart, thoughtful, and pragmatic, and he knows how to bring opposing parties together. He is highly respected by the Right, the Left, and the Center.

Jamie is beloved by his 240,000+ employees, highly respected by our military as well as by the global political and business leaders that matter. He has superbly managed @jpmorgan through every crisis, and has built the world's best, large, global financial institution working for clients from startups and mom and pops, to global institutions and countries.

Our country is at risk with $32T of debt with no end to massive deficits in sight, heading into a recession at a time of great political uncertainty. We need an exemplary business, financial, and global leader to manage through what is likely to be a critically important decade for our country in determining our destiny.

Jamie Dimon is that leader.

Jamie is of exemplary and unimpeachable character. He is a no bullshit, straight-talking, charismatic leader with an enormous grasp of the world's issues and how to address them. He is a great communicator that makes everyone who hears his words feel respected and inspired. He has enormous energy, vigor, and drive.

He is a wonderful father, friend, husband, and son. In sum, he is the kind of person our country deserves as our next leader. And clearly he is thinking about running:

https://t.co/ucE7a6T2D5

I can't imagine a better time for him to do so.

@POTUS is extremely weak and in cognitive decline. 70% of Democrats don't want him to run. Biden's weakness sets up a large opening for a qualified outsider to run as a Democrat.

Jamie can beat Biden in the primary and @realDonaldTrump in the general election, but he needs to start now and build name recognition among the broad electorate. He will easily raise billions of dollars from Democrats and Republicans to fund his campaign, and he knows how to build support.

Each year, Jamie gets on a bus and travels around the country meeting with tellers, branch managers, and other employees to spread the culture and inspire the JPM team; great preparation for a presidential run. He will also be incredible on the debate stage.

And there is nothing more for him to achieve at JPM. He has already been crowned the world's best banker. JPM stock will go up even more when he becomes POTUS as he can do more for the bank and our economy as President than he can as Chairman and CEO of JPM. The bank will be in great shape since he has built a deep succession bench that is more than ready to step up.

There is only one better job for Jamie than CEO of JPM and that's POTUS.

Jamie just needs a push from people he respects and from the broader electorate. If you agree that he should be our next POTUS, give him a call, send him an email or go see him, and like and retweet this tweet.

This will be one of the most important elections in our country's history. Jamie is more likely to run if we build a groundswell of support for him. Let's do our civic duty and make it happen.

Our challenges as a nation are largely due to failures of leadership. America needs and deserves great leadership and we need it now.

I get about 10 emails a week like this now.

Since when does being sent an email oblige a response.

Especially ones clearly sent to 1000 people.

Bizarre approach.

I reply to most emails with a proportional effort to what was put into them, which typically means I don't

@benareeno @hussmanjp You made me LOL. I wish someone would start a website and podcast that is nothing more than Hussman’s thoughts translated into 12-year-old speak… or Labrador retriever speak

[Pitfall Harry @JKD_ff]

@hussmanjp Excellent. The following is a deeply underappreciated bit of perspective

Large %-age of market is obsessed with how far we are "off the highs", & comparing w previous sell-offs, as if the apogee of the market's most recent lunacy holds some control over ultimate valuations

[The NEWS @achrnews]

We had a great conversation with @benlanders of @BlueCorona.

Someone should invent a coffee joint called
“$2 coffee” and all it sells is one size of one type of brewed coffee for $2. The queue would move super fast

I just finished a #PPC audit w/ this issue & I don't think this can be overstated.

A Poor PPC account will occasionally get conversions w/ a good website. A Great PPC account can fail w/ a poor website. Make your site user/conversion friendly before you spend money on marketing

@CMJphotos @mcfrsPIO @MCFRS_EMIHS Did you happen to see the color/make or license plate of the car that hit him? He is a friend of mine, and the accident turned into a hit and run!

@mcfrsPIO @MCFRS_EMIHS The person hit is a friend of mine. Were there any witnesses? It turned into a hit and run!
