My husband Abraham was diagnosed with a very rare sacral chordoma. The surgery to remove bone and surrounding tissue lasted almost seven hours and was successful. He had a rough night and is in a lot of pain but is finally home resting. Now recovery begins. We’re so grateful for the outpouring of prayers and kind messages from all of you. Our hearts are full. ❤️
Contrarian take, more people are rooting for you than you think. Your boss wants you to be a top performer. Your parents want you to look great as their legacy. Your partner wants you to be exceptional. Your friends want to be friends with a winner.
I’m always shocked at how rarely great business ideas get ripped off.
Sierra Auto Fair makes $40- $70k per weekend by borrowing a parking lot for people to buy and sell cars.
YOU could (and should) rip off this idea in your corner of the world, by doing this:
1. Find a school or business that has a large parking lot that is largely unused on the weekends.
Sierra Auto Fair uses a community college in Sacramento, CA.
2. Work out a deal to lease their parking lot for 1 weekend to test the concept.
3. Message everyone selling a popular make/model car or truck on FB Marketplace and offer then free access to your auto fair.
Here's your pitch "Don't meet shady folks in an alley so they can test drive your car.
Tell everyone to meet you at our auto fair. 0 downside to you. Strength in numbers. Tell them to all come at the same time."
4. Get on FB Groups to advertise your fair to potential buyers. Hopefully the parking lot is near a busy intersection.
Tell them the cars that will be coming.
Ideally you have WAY more buyers than sellers.
5. After your successful weekend, start inviting sponsors (detailing, oil changes, etc) and start charging sellers $150 to park their car.
That's what Sierra does, and they have hundreds of cars per weekend.
No middleman!
My partner and I discuss this idea at length, plus other ways to make money with a low investment in the car biz.

Think about what you want your future to look like, clearly, and start filtering every decision:
"Will it get you closer to this vision or not?"
Cut ruthlessly. Say "No."
Spend time on the things that build your future.
You get this one life. Limit distractions.

I’ll post the spec sheets for the first two sleeves in the comments. The sharpe will be much better once futures and options are live. ✌️
For all who are complaining about the @SpaceX valuation for its IPO, it’s a free market. Don’t buy it.
For those who believe in future and @elonmusk , it’s a free market, buy it.

🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump angers the Democrats by going full WASHINGTON DC BEAUTY mode, he personally made donations and worked with Doug Burgum
"You're going to have the reflecting pool opened within hours. I mean, literally within hours. The water starts pouring in tonight. It's going to be beautiful. You haven't seen that since 1922!"
"The parks are open. We changed the grass. You know, grass has a life also. Grass has a life. And that grass hasn't been changed in 70, 80 years. It died many times over!"
"We have beautiful grass, beautiful parks, beautiful everything. We don't have people living on it. And Washington, D.C. In a matter of 14 months, Washington, D.C. is like a different place that people are coming here!"
"You know, the restaurants were all going out of business, you know, because you used the restaurants. And now the restaurants are hot. In fact, if anything, we don't have enough restaurants based."
"They're all reopening. It's become vibrant. It's a beautiful thing to watch. And I am honored that I've been able to do it to our nation's capital."

Remember when Scott Pelley used 60 Minutes to completely dismiss the concerns of mothers about sexually explicit books in schools?
Good riddance to this sanctimonious prick.
@hamids I agree. I really hope they succeed. The Model Y is awesome but competition makes the products better and usually cheaper. FSD for the R2 would be a game changer.
Last night, Karen promised to clean up the tents on the sidewalks.
I’m wondering if someone would be so kind as to inform her she’s currently the mayor? What exactly is she waiting for?
@CartierCartell One. One accident avoided. One close call. One near miss. That’s all it takes. Now imagine that across all vehicles on all roads all the time. That’s what FSD can do. Make Insurance Go Away.
Looks like Francesca Hong accidentally left out one of her key proposals: deploying the Wisconsin National Guard to arrest ICE agents and protect criminal illegal aliens.
As voters learn more about her record, Hong is desperately scrambling to distance herself from her past support for abolishing the police, abolishing prisons, and targeting federal immigration enforcement.
🚨 WOW. Rep. Brandon Gill throws Ohio Democrat State Senator into TEARS by asking: "Has Somali immigration been good for Ohio?"
"I'm processing your question and I was almost brought to tears just now!"
GILL: "72% of Somali immigrants are on welfare."
DEM: "The rate and level of HATEFUL RHETORIC based on false information!"
GILL: "They're defrauding the state at an astounding RATE. I think most Ohioans have a problem with that."
DEM: "Shocking. It's shocking to me. The lack of humanity to group—"
GILL: "It's INHUMANE to allow your own state to be DEFRAUDED at an astounding rate, billions taken!" 🔥
Well done, @RepBrandonGill 👏🏻
