"One day he realizes that he doesn't need to be brave all the time, just at the right time, to find out what amazing things can happen when he takes a chance"
Barack Obama during #GraduateTogether: "Doing what feels good, what's convenient, what's easy, that's how little kids think. Unfortunately, a lot of so-called grown-ups including some with fancy titles & important jobs still think that way. Which is why things are so screwed up."
A lot more board gaming than usual has been happening for weeks. For those who have played Monopoly for the first time in years, did you notice that you start the game with money, and get more money every time you pass GO?
That's UBI. It makes the game playable.

@JoeyGDNBoss Don't worry, you have more chances to define it. When the next crisis is blamed on Asian Americans, we'll have the burden of proving our Americanness, so says @AndrewYang then racism goes quiet. And another crisis blamed on us and we'll..hey, maybe the problem is racist people 🤔
@MsMelChen "show our Americanness in ways we never have before"
I thought I was American enough already? Pay taxes, vote, root USA at Olympics, donate.
@AndrewYang says I have to do more so I can ease others' insecurities? When is enough, enough?
Ppl will still be racist to this guy:
“Suddenly the parent is no longer just the dad or mom but also the teacher, therapist and aid all in one. What had previously taken an entire team, now has to somehow stay afloat. We need to be ready to forgive ourselves and let go of self-judgments” @kulturecity@Michele_KongMD ❤️
President Trump today at the White House said to me: “Be nice. Don't be threatening.”
I’m not the first human being, woman, black person or journalist to be told that while doing a job.
My take: Be steady. Stay focused. Remember your purpose. And, always press forward.
I hope NY doesn’t ultimately need 30,000 ventilators.
But I don't operate on opinion and hope.
I operate on facts and data and science.
All the projections say we will need 30,000-40,000 ventilators.
So that is what we will strive to have.
I think everything is about to change as tens of millions of Americans suddenly learn what is required of them to prove they are deserving of unemployment income, and to keep proving it over and over every week. People are going to grow angry.
UBI may just suddenly click soon.
@AndrewYang If GDP was measured with Human Values, we wouldn't have stupid ideas from Trump and Gov. Patrick about getting people back to work so fast when we're not ready. Don't sacrifice health for profits! #humancenteredcapitalism
