@JamesClear In other words, speed is relative all it matters is progress and get to where you want to be. Nobody cares about the details.

@BeeBabs She came up from the mean streets of Beverly Hills with very successful parents/step parents… but in a *much* smaller mansion. A TRUE GRIND. An inspiration. A photoshop icon.

I just left the ER.

We are officially back to getting crushed by COVID-19.

Delta Variant is running rampant and it’s MUCH more transmissible than the original virus.

99% of our ICU admits did NOT receive a vaccine.

Virtually ALL of them wish they had.

@WestJet Standard 2 hour phone wait times. Expect no help from customer service.

[Marla @marlsbars]

PSA: NEVER book a flight with @WestJet (especially for any wedding related flights). They will change the flight date by two whole days, call it a schedule change and offer credit, instead of doing the right thing: call it a cancellation and offer refunds. Speechless.

A happy life is not a life without struggle, it's a life with meaningful struggle.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I do not think it is too radical an idea to say that keeping teeth in your mouth should not be a luxury. Medicare must be expanded to include dental care, eyeglasses, and hearing aids.

[The Minimalists @TheMinimalists]

Minimalism is not just a well-curated home: minimalism is a well-curated life.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

What helped inspire our $70k min wage?

An employee was secretly working a 2nd job at McDonald's. It was clear I was an awful CEO who was failing his employees. I gave her a raise to quit that job. No one should have to work two jobs to make ends meet.
