I made a lot of videos about the pandemic. I think this is the best one. It captures the insanity really well.

This is why smart people rarely build businesses

Jensen Huang stood in front of a room of Stanford graduates and told them he hopes they suffer.

He wasn't being cruel. He was being precise.

His argument: people with very high expectations have very low resilience. And resilience, not intelligence, is what decides who actually makes it. A Stanford grad has spent their whole life as the smartest person in the room. They've rarely been tested by real failure. So when something finally breaks, they break with it.

Then he said the line every founder should sit with: "Greatness is not intelligence. Greatness comes from character. And character isn't formed out of smart people, it's formed out of people who suffered."

He would know. At nine, Huang was scrubbing toilets at a Kentucky boarding school his family hadn't realized was a reform school. As a teenager he bussed tables at Denny's. In 1993 he started NVIDIA in a Denny's booth, and nearly lost it more than once in the years that followed. The character was built decades before the valuation showed up.

This is why he uses the words "pain and suffering" inside NVIDIA with what he calls great glee. He isn't trying to shield his best people from the hard part. He's trying to give it to them on purpose.

Talent gets you into the room. The people who stay are the ones who were broken once and learned they could rebuild.

Congratulations @ElonMusk.

Thanks to SpaceX's IPO, he's the first Trillionaire.

He didn't TAKE money from anyone. He CREATED wealth.

He launched satellites that connect even the poorest, most remote parts of the world.

Our world needs more MAKERS like Musk; fewer TAKERS like:

My Generation Is Blind to the Prosperity Around Us!
I'm sitting in a small coffee shop near Nokomis (Florida) trying to think of what to write about. I scroll through my newsfeed on my phone looking at the latest headlines of presidential candidates calling for policies to "fix" the so-called injustices of capitalism. I put my phone down and continue to look around.

I see people talking freely, working on their MacBook's, ordering food they get in an instant, seeing cars go by outside, and it dawned on me. We live in the most privileged time in the most prosperous nation and we've become completely blind to it.

Vehicles, food, technology, freedom to associate with whom we choose.These things are so ingrained in our American way of life we don't give them a second thought.

We are so well off here in the United States that our poverty line begins 31 times above the global average. Thirty One Times!!!

Virtually no one in the United States is considered poor by global standards. Yet, in a time where we can order a product off Amazon with one click and have it at our doorstep the next day, we are unappreciative, unsatisfied, and ungrateful. ??

Our unappreciation is evident as the popularity of socialist policies among my generation continues to grow. Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently said to Newsweek talking about the millennial generation, "An entire generation, which is now becoming one of the largest electorates in America, came of age and never saw American prosperity."

Never saw American prosperity! Let that sink in.

When I first read that statement, I thought to myself, that was quite literally the most entitled and factually illiterate thing I've ever heard in my 26 years on this earth. Many young people agree with her, which is entirely misguided.

My generation is being indoctrinated by a mainstream narrative to actually believe we have never seen prosperity. I know this first hand, I went to college, let's just say I didn't have the popular opinion, but I digress.

Why then, with all of the overwhelming evidence around us, evidence that I can even see sitting at a coffee shop, do we not view this as prosperity? We have people who are dying to get into our country.

People around the world destitute and truly impoverished. Yet, we have a young generation convinced they've never seen prosperity, and as a result, we elect some politicians who are dead set on taking steps towards abolishing capitalism.

Why? The answer is this,?? my generation has only seen prosperity. We have no contrast. We didn't live in the great depression, or live through two world wars, the Korean War, The Vietnam War or we didn't see the rise and fall of socialism and communism.

We don't know what it's like to live without the internet, without cars, without smartphones. We don't have a lack of prosperity problem. We have an entitlement problem, an ungratefulness problem, and it's spreading like a plague."

The US Debt Clocks counts up (by a lot).

Florida’s Debt Clock counts down.

More than 50% of the debt retired in the past 8 years!

Election Shambles Update:

1. California Democrats have turned our state into a global laughing stock. India counts 600 million + ballots in a day. California counts less than 10 million in a MONTH.

2. Make sure YOUR vote is counted. Watch this video for the steps you should take.

3. We're watching everything closely and have lawyers standing by if needed.

4. We're as confident as ever that we will make the top two.

5. As governor I will replace this absurd system. We cannot have another election that makes us look like a "failed state", as @NateSilver538 put it.

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo

"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"

"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."

"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"

"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."

"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Mic drop.

[REPUBLIC OF SOMALILAND @RepOfSomaliland]

In just 4 minutes on @NEWSMAX with @SchmittNYC airing prime time, reaching 50 million Americans, on all major TV networks, and watched by President Donald Trump—Hassan Aden broke down what others couldn’t in decades:

• Somaliland was an independent state before Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania even before Somalia itself!
• Not a breakaway region
•Somaliland is seeking re-recognition
• No valid union was ever signed between Somaliland and Somalia
• Somalia committed one of the biggest frauds in history stealing a country and effectively a UN seat from Somaliland using fraudulent union documents
•200,000 Somalilanders (Isaaq) killed under Somalia's Siad Barre’s regime
• Somaliland reclaimed sovereignty in 1991.

Delivered the truth to millions of Americans—not to the usual Somali BBC coverage.

Clear. Direct. Speaking to the right people.
