@WRspeaks is one of the best voices on intentionality - who else is out there that I can read / listen to?

[Jake Hadden @haddenjw]

In my view, you now have 4,400 individuals and families spending their wealth on the highest value items within their world (groceries, everyday services, luxury excursions). That is a much better long term use of capital vs a gov’t grant with rules forcing money into an area that may not be the most valuable or efficient place to spend.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future.

you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine.

i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success.

i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk.

let’s leave it at that then.

perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.

It’s a balance. I’ve met plenty of “high performers” who kind of hide behind this belief. It’s an easy way to justify taking yet another business trip.

My goal is to be as present as possible for my kids.

[Patrick OShaughnessy @patrick_oshag]

As a father of two young kids, I keep thinking about this from Dara:

"I think we're doing our kids a disservice by giving them too much, being around too much.

You want to love your kids, you want to know that they're absolutely loved and appreciated.

But it's the challenges in life that form you, and it's the overcoming of these challenges that give humans a profound satisfaction.

If you as a parent are overcoming these challenges for your kids, you're actually doing them a disservice long-term, whereas short-term you think you're doing them a favor.

They've got to learn how to make it in this world themselves.

A happy life is not necessarily an easy life."

@omgitsdef Thanks for sharing! Definitely need to do an audit at my company. This is helpful.

I had the opportunity to visit Nara a few years ago. Really cool experience.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Established in 1880, Nara Park, Japan is home to over 1200 wild sika deer freely roaming around in the park and in the city, happy to be hand-fed by tourists. They are classified as a national treasure

This is what happens when it rains

They should have a Shazam for notable people’s speaking voice. Listening to an interview now, but have no idea who

Does anyone know of a company leading the way in hire-train-deploy for the semiconductor industry? #hiretraindeploy #semiconductor #softwareengineers https://t.co/GzYw7hRysC

I started reading something grateful every morning before work a few years ago. The impact has been significant to me. Love this approach of stop, look, go. #entrepreneurship #morningroutine https://t.co/HAzLONsLoc

Thank you @Delta for providing a great experience for my family at the Chicago O’Hare sky lounge. I couldn’t imagine traveling any other way now with two young kiddos.

[Jake Hadden @haddenjw]

Great speech. Radical amazement.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

A profoundly inspirational speech by a great human being. And yes, you can run @blackstone and be a great human being. https://t.co/v5nWo5HVBu

@andrewrsorkin The question you asked Joe earlier didn’t mention COVID. If you removed “possibly COVID” from the poll the results would flip.

1/6 Meet Kanny Mohammed, a @DgtlCrafts
