For anyone in NYC looking for an alternative to Uber or Lyft, highly recommend empower! Instead of taking scrape off every ride, they charge drivers a flat monthly fee to be on the platform. Result is a 30-40% reduction in rates, works beautifully!! Here is a code for $10 off your next ride! #rideshare #nyc #empower

What a journey for Sohrab. He made a name for himself in 2019 by claiming nearly everything bad with conservatism was personified by David French but that Donald Trump was leading America (in Sohrab’s words) “toward order, continuity, and social cohesion.”

@ArthurMacwaters in a similar boat. I’d put it in BTC, SOL, ETH. Very much considering this.

### Sources of Income
Elizabeth Warren and her husband, Bruce Mann, have built their wealth over decades through multiple streams, primarily tied to their academic careers, real estate, and her authorship. Here’s a breakdown of where most of her income has come from:

1. **Academic Career (Law Professor Salaries)**
- Warren spent over 30 years as a law professor at prestigious institutions, including Rutgers, the University of Pennsylvania, and Harvard Law School, where she became a tenured professor. While exact salaries vary, her earnings at Harvard likely reached into the low-to-mid six figures annually during her tenure, especially as a prominent figure in bankruptcy law.
- Bruce Mann, her husband, is also a Harvard Law professor specializing in legal history, earning around $400,000 per year in recent years (e.g., $402,897 in 2018 per tax returns). His income has been a significant contributor to their joint wealth.

2. **Book Royalties and Advances**
- A major portion of Warren’s personal fortune comes from writing bestselling books on finance, bankruptcy, and the middle class. Since 2013, she has earned over **$3 million** in book royalties and advances, with a peak in 2014 when her memoir *A Fighting Chance* brought in a **$1.2 million advance** from Macmillan Publishing. Other notable works include *The Two-Income Trap* (co-authored with her daughter) and *This Fight Is Our Fight*.
- In 2018 alone, her tax returns showed **$324,687** from writing, and in 2020, she received a **$250,000 advance** for her book *Persist*. This consistent revenue from publishing has significantly boosted her wealth.

3. **Senate Salary**
- As a U.S. Senator since 2013, Warren earns an annual salary of approximately **$174,000** (adjusted slightly over time, e.g., $185,000 cited in some reports). While this is a substantial income, it’s a smaller fraction of her overall wealth compared to her earlier career and book earnings. Over 12 years in the Senate (by 2025), this would total roughly **$2 million pre-tax**, not accounting for expenses or allowances.

4. **Legal Consulting (Pre-Senate)**
- Before entering politics, Warren earned significant fees as a consultant, mediator, and expert witness in corporate legal cases, particularly related to bankruptcy. Between 2008 and 2010, she made over **$290,000** from consulting, including **$200,000** from Travelers Insurance for a Supreme Court case and **$90,000** as an expert witness for Kenny Nachwalter. Over 30 years, she reportedly earned around **$2 million** from such work, though this ceased after she became a senator.

5. **Investments and Real Estate**
- Warren and Mann hold much of their wealth in retirement accounts (e.g., TIAA-CREF accounts worth at least **$4 million**) and real estate. They own a **$3 million Victorian home** in Cambridge, Massachusetts (purchased for $447,000 in 1995) and an **$800,000 condo** in Washington, D.C. (bought for $740,000 in 2013). These assets have appreciated significantly.
- Their investments, primarily in mutual funds, are valued between **$5.4 million and $15 million** (per 2020 disclosures), though exact figures depend on market fluctuations and reporting ranges.

### Summary
Most of Elizabeth Warren’s income and wealth stem from her and her husband’s **academic salaries** at Harvard, her lucrative **book deals**, and the appreciation of their **real estate and retirement investments**. Her pre-Senate **consulting work** also contributed meaningfully, though it’s no longer a factor. Her Senate salary, while steady, is a minor component relative to these other sources. Credible estimates place her net worth far below exaggerated claims, aligning with a successful but not extravagant career in academia, authorship, and public service.

Every entrepreneur has ample opportunity (3-5 years?) to rethink business models as quantum computing advancements create opportunities to disrupt established industries and facilitate the emergence of new ones.

Share ideas on what business models can be disrupted.

@JetBlue flight attendant just came around asking anyone needed water, juice, etc. I asked if she could put water in my reusable bottle. She said she couldn’t and proceeded to fill three plastic disposable cups of water and placed them on my tray table. Terrible waste - why?

@MMeatloaf7 well that moved fast.
