If you don't vote, I don't want to hear you ever complain about any of the filth, crime, or decline in LA again. Get off your butt and VOTE, or enjoy what you get.

My evolution on term limits...
Knew little about politics: I supported them.

Read the skeptical academic research: became neutral.

Saw the crushing pressure electeds face from party leadership, donors, activists and influencers in modern political era: now the biggest advocate.

As a 30 year resident of CA, a few data points:

- State school spending has increased from ≈$100 billion to ≈$149 billion since 2019, but only 22% of school districts today surpass their reading test scores in 2019.
- State spending on homelessness totals $37 billion during your tenure, but our homeless population went from 151,000 to 187,000.
- When you ran your initial campaign, you set a goal of building 3.5 million new homes by 2025. We built ≈700,000. As a result, the cost of housing has skyrocketed.
- The state budget has increased 76% since 2019, far higher than the rate of inflation (≈26%).
- California ranks #49 in the nation for "cost of doing business."

California is a large and complex state. But - the data just doesn't line up with your statement above. What do you attribute this to, and what can the next governor do to give California residents the kind of future we all want?

this is a simple, elegant and very effective idea. take the taxes of the bottom 50% to zero.

A @bgurley blog on the history of open source, examples of where it has commoditized the incumbents, and where it should be applied today. Like an old school Above the Crowd post.

A new @bgurley blog post!

I have been thinking about how sophisticated executives are using open source in super creative ways. Started writing this three years ago. Excited to finish it up and publish it! And with the new @p3institute brand.

Amazing what a pro-business, pro-jobs, enforce-the-law leader can do in a short amount of time. Beloved by voters on all sides. 💪🏼

Government spending -> inflation

Vote accordingly 🙏

Many countries are debating some type of gas tax holiday but supply and demand still have to cross. If the market needs demand destruction and all countries suspend their tax, it won't change the short-term price. It's just a big transfer of $ from government to the oil industry.

It would take the CFTC about 5 minutes to figure out who this was and whether there was any misconduct, assuming they want to.

@MetamateDaz Lebron James made $53M last year. The average NBA scoreboard operator made $26,000. Where is the outrage?

[Jeff Richards @jrichlive]

@SenSanders He isn’t the CEO of Amazon. And he’s created millions of jobs. And paid billions $ in taxes. Please focus.

[Bill Gurley @bgurley]

@PeterDiamandis @sundarpichai It’s like everyone forgot how to raise price. 🧐

If you can’t convincingly articulate your edge in a market, whether sports betting, prediction markets, stocks, commodities, or whatever else, trading may provide some entertainment but you’ll almost certainly lose money over the long term.

Ken Griffin is self-made. He built his businesses largely outside NYC but is now growing it in NYC. With Ken comes construction of an office tower, high paying jobs, tax revenue and a remarkable commitment to local philanthropy. Not sure why that pisses off the new mayor.

Thank you, Fed Chair Powell.

[Ben Carlson @awealthofcs]

What are the odds that Jerome Powell is the last independent Fed chair?

My take is it's higher than you think
