This is spot on about climate change.

Sam Bankman-Fried: I don’t know where $10 billion dollars went

The Pentagon: We don’t know where $2.2 trillion dollars went

The IRS: You just sent $601.37 don’t forget to report it.

I recently came across data on who we spend our time with over the course of our lives.

The insights are simultaneously inspiring and depressing.

Here are 6 graphs everyone needs to see:

@girdley The banking industry is so ripe for massive overhaul. I don’t know if the DeFi movement is the full answer, but I’m hopeful it’s the catalyst that propels the needed change. I mean “banking hours”…seriously?

[Z. W. Bennett @ZWBennett]

@TexAgs @RossBjorkAD Further to that, I would request that you fire yourself immediately, educate yourself on the harm you allowed to be caused, and hire a replacement that has at least 5 dimensions of intersectionality.

[Z. W. Bennett @ZWBennett]

@TexAgs @RossBjorkAD @RossBjorkAD - Will you commit to retroactively forfeiting every Aggie win where the team walked out to that song? To show you’re truly committed to change and for the sake of making the university look morally superior to all others.

We need to replace ESG w/something like FRG: Family, Reshoring, & Governance.

Family: fostering the basic building block of healthy civilization & human life

Reshoring: doing everything necessary to bring jobs & supply chains back to America

Governance: excellence, not equity

[Z. W. Bennett @ZWBennett]

@DivCultivator It also definitely doesn’t incentivize colleges to hike all tuition by $10K. Government subsidies never backfire like that.

@zachhomol_ Recently had my 5 yo daughter at the ER. Wanted to admit her for observation overnight.

That required they test her for Covid. I refused. She had 0 Covid symptoms.

They compromised and just assumed we were Covid positive. Full PPE getup each time they came in. Safety theatre.

@raaaaachelwells @RepRabb @NCSLorg @MarchForWomen @PPKeystone @aclupa @newvoicesrj Some teenagers on Tumblr decided that "folks" wasn't inclusive enough and somehow not gender neutral, so they created a gender neutraler term and now middle-aged legislators took it seriously and are using it.

Crazy Stat

Renters will spend an average of $100,000 on rent before turning 30. 🤯

That's 8 years of rent at over $1,000/month going into a landlord's pocket.

I want to help change that...

@dallasdemocrats Here's a link to @FeedingAmerica where you can support a worthwhile charity helping Americans in need instead of throwing money at these private jet flying covid infecting morons

If groups differ at the mean and the margin of selection is far in the right tail of an ability distribution, then defining "equity" as consisting in an approximate parity across groups of their presence among the selected is a statistical fool's errand. No good can come of that.

[Z. W. Bennett @ZWBennett]

@DivCultivator You had me at ‘help you ensure that you've "bought the f*cking dip”’ 😂😂

What time frame would you consider for reallocation? Monthly? Quarterly? Any of the above? How do you balance sticking to this model without becoming a day trader?
