Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

Steven Bartlett, host of the podcast, The Diary of a CEO, released an interview with Christian apologist, John Lennox, this week, and his closing comments to him were fascinating:
"One of the most compelling arguments for God that you've presented (and your way of seeing the world and being) is not actually necessarily anything you've written in your books or not not necessarily anything you've said. It is actually you.
You have a certain peace and contentment that I rarely see in people that I interview, but I often see, and I've almost always seen, in the Christians that I've interviewed, and this is a interesting phenomenon for me...it seems to be a trend that a lot of the Christian apologists that I've interviewed have that anchoring that so many of us are looking for."
What a great witness.

He who is not angry when there is just cause for anger is immoral.
Why? Because anger looks to the good of justice.
And if you can live amid injustice without anger, you are immoral as well as unjust. — Thomas Aquinas
Today, in some capacity, you will fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). Chances are, you already did! We need to be forgiven, and God provides his most significant mercy on the Cross of Christ (Romans 3:24-25).
Charlie Munger: "Capitalism is efficient when the people making the decisions are doing it about their own property, instead of just as hired employees of some state-owned enterprise."
"When the Chinese went away from collectivist agriculture and let each peasant have his own plot of land and he got to keep the crop after his costs, the grain production went up 60% the first year. Who in the hell would want collectivist agriculture when it was that inefficient compared to capitalist agriculture?"

Ketanji Brown Jackson keeps proving that she has no knowledge of the Constitution. This time, even her liberal colleagues couldn’t stand with her. In a lone dissent, she argued that if a judge feels like something is an injustice, they should have broad power to fix it.
That undermines our entire legal system. Where in the Constitution does it say that a judge should have the power to just ignore convictions and let people go because they believe they're righting a wrong?

There is never a prayer that God accepts but the Spirit first writes it in our hearts. True prayer is not so much our intercession as the Spirit of God making intercession in us.
