@Budget I had the single worst car rental experience ever at the Dublin airport. with the group of people who were more concerned about being right than providing customer service. never again with Budget. He tried to upsell with insurance, they couldn’t explain the charges clearly or the deductibles, they wouldn’t let me apply my normal policy first, and that coverage and the icing on the cake was when I went to the car and the remote control didn’t work, was broken. I went back to the desk to tell them, and they said, oh, that’s the fault of maintenance people, it’s not our fault. #WTF

Good read on why political opponents aren’t enemies - our forefathers designed debate and challenge into the legislative process and elections https://t.co/I7Pk6NGom4

@novy_williams sorry, I’ll miss the NASDAQ event on November 10, but I did make it through all 33 minutes of the latest podcast. I thought it was great, you guys keep up the good work.

#WTF ? Some deals only make sense if there is something going on under the surface. This club was reportedly looking for $400m sale. It went for three times that? Tax scheme or money laundering? Any guesses?

@dipsMUFC I just arrived from USA and used the automated passport and made it to luggage carousels in under 15 minutes. Are you talking about Linate? MXP is great this morning.

@igornovikov @POTUS is Neville Chamberlin reincarnated - a Hitler fanboy turned into Putin worshiper.

There are certain decisions that will go down as history-defining moments. This is one of them. It's a terrible misjudgment of Putin, who has made it clear he wants to destroy the West. We shouldn't help him do it.

[Patrick J Sweeney II @PJSweeney]

@0ivankaTrump1 100% yes. He could have fled and kept millions but he stayed and fought. He's been clear - if russia leaves the fighting stops. putin is killing babies and targeting schools. Someone needs to stop him.

[Patrick J Sweeney II @PJSweeney]

@infoarbitrage This is what the BOODA loop was created to institutionalize. Having the decision making matrix to keep the speed high, even when there are not a lot of fires to put out is what creates hyper-growth and eventually unicorns.
