@RyanDetrick Interesting how Cook is arguably one of the greatest CEOs of all-time as measured by business and stock performance, yet one of the worst in terms of product execution. Apple has done next to nothing since Steve died. AirPods has been his only success.
We need a bit more shame.
People used to avoid certain self-interested behaviors to avoid shame, private and public. Law and customs assumed this.
Now, 38% of Stanford students claim to be disabled. 40% of young women (under 35) claim mental illness, and SSI disability payments have gone up 400% in a single generation.
It isn't good for anyone, least of all people who are actually disabled, when everyone looks the other way as friends and family and peers con the system with a level of shamelessness no architect of our safety net ever imagined could be possible in America. When everyone is disabled, nobody is.
Two immigrants.
One American dream. 🇺🇸
@RealStevenAdams
America gave us freedom and opportunity.
Oklahoma gave us a home, lifelong friendships, and memories we’ll never forget.
Home isn’t always where you’re born. Sometimes it’s where you’re given the freedom to dream.
We’ll never forget where we came from and we’ll never stop being grateful for where we are.
Today has special meaning for me and my family. On 9/11 my younger brother Gary was murdered by Jihadists simply for being American. He went to work that beautiful Tuesday morning pursuing the American dream. To succeed, and build his life in the greatest country on earth. Jealousy begets hatred and he was killed along with 657 other Cantor Fitzgerald employees for being American and working in the globally famous twin towers of the World Trade Center.
America deserves to be loved, she deserves to be protected and she deserves our appreciation because America is the world’s shining light. Imagine a world without America, it becomes very dark very quickly. America is the beacon of freedom beaming across the globe. This is who we are, and why we take the actions we do. There is only one nation that delivers on the American Dream. There is only one nation fighting for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is only one America and today is her birthday. And I could not be more proud to be her son.
In 1825, a rich Welsh industrialist bought an entire American town to prove that socialism could work.
He had the money, the buildings, the theory, and hundreds of eager followers waiting to move in.
Two years later, it was over. 🧵
@RoKhanna@friedberg@sama Friedberg bodied you. You’re such a fucking loser Ro. Steal everyone else’s wealth without sharing any of your wife’s. Fuck off.
@JohnCassidy You write economics and finance for the New Yorker. Nobody should be taking investment advice from you.
P/E multiple compression and people like you want to cry bubble.
