Sad to say that facts don't lie.

Europe’s Tiny Balls 🔵🟢
One of the striking revelations in the Draghi Report on European non-competitiveness is number of $100B European companies forming in the past 50 years — zero.

MIT’s McAfee took the analysis a step further, lowering the threshold to $10B. Spotify is the biggest new company to come out of Europe in the past 50 years. Bubble size is public company market cap. Blue balls are non-tech companies. (And yes, Elon has morphed Tesla from blue to green IMHO, so the big balls are truly greener in America)

Overall, the U.S. is 70x the EU. One contributing factor to European constriction: the squeeze of over-tight regulations. As Draghi says on p.2 of the report, “innovative companies that want to scale up in Europe are hindered at every stage by inconsistent and restrictive regulations.”

@joyehoward The most effective way to weaken or kill a democracy is to do it by using the means of democracy, i.e. by winning a legitimate election. This has been true throughout history.

The greatest New Yorker cartoon of all time.

@TEDchris @TEDchris one way to look at the fact that there are negatives on both sides is to realize that the negatives on one side are bad decisions while the negatives on the other side are a fundamental rejection of democracy and the rule of law. That was clarifying when I voted.

I don’t care where you stand on the death penalty, if the prosecutor’s office seeks to vacate a conviction and the victim’s family want the sentence commuted—the state should not execute that person.

Definitely worth 60 seconds of your time to listen to what Meryl Streep said at the UN

[Natiq Malikzada @natiqmalikzada]

Meryl Streep at the United Nations: A female cat has more freedoms than a woman in Afghanistan,

"A cat may go sit on her front stoop and feel the sun on her face," Streep said. "She may chase a squirrel into the park. A squirrel has more rights than a girl in Afghanistan."

There is no bigger stake in this election than what @VP is saying here. If Trump is elected Putin will be allowed to go after the Baltics and Poland... Just as an appetizer

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Vice President Harris: Why don't you tell the 800,000 Polish Americans right here in Pennsylvania how quickly you would give up for the sake of favor, and what you think is a friendship with a dictator who would eat you for lunch?
