Watch this all the way through.
This is a perfect example of what makes Americans different.
Everyone notices the big things.
The wins, the headlines, the moments the whole crowd claps for.
Almost nobody sweats the small stuff.
That two percent that looks like it does not matter.
The detail you could skip. The corner you could cut. The standard you could let slide just this once.
Here is what history keeps trying to teach us.
Empires do not fall on the ninety-eight percent.
They fall on the two percent nobody thought was worth the trouble.
The little crack you ignore today is the one the whole thing collapses through later.
Americans, at our best, are the people who refuse to skip the two percent.
That is the whole secret.
Mind the small things.
They were never small.
Yours Truly,
The Rebel Scum

One of the most insane thunderstorm I’ve ever seen just rolled through Davis, California.
Local weather stations recorded nearly 0.50” of rain in 5 minutes. Temperature dropped over 20 degrees down from 70s to high 40s.
