I shared my insights with Area Development on several strategies used by three Midwest states to win major semiconductor projects. Site selection activity in this sector is robust with many supplier projects imminent.

Joel - I really like your content! The problem with eliminating property taxes is structural. Property taxes likely need to be replaced by more consumptive taxes like sales tax or one indexed to income. Those mechanisms inherently harm families who consume more and families who are working. Generational conflict is not good. Young families do need help. Hopefully we get to a point where both of those things are true.

Bethlehem Steel built over 1,100 ships in WW2, from aircraft carriers to battleships to oil tankers. They led the world in steel production and employed ~300,000 Americans.

We must bring back our industrial base.

@RickPlatt @DispatchAlerts Love the piece! Infrastructure is another area of outsized impact. Proportionally a small city gaining or losing one major water user is significant to a city’s bottom line! A similar point could be made for prop/income taxes. Building and protecting economies of scale matters!

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Credit to @coachlukefalk for continuing to share golden nuggets about Coach’s legacy

Draft week blockbuster: The Giants are trading three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Bengals in a deal that will include the 10th overall pick going to New York, per ESPN sources.

The Giants now head into Thursday night with the 5th and 10th overall picks.

I don’t know if the President thought he was being funny or if he is under the influence of some substance or what possible explanation he could have for this OUTRAGEOUS blasphemy. But he needs to take this down immediately and ask for forgiveness from the American people and then from God.
