    In fact, the administration tried hard to inject even more stimulus into an already over-heated, inflationary economy and only Manchin saved them from themselves. Inflation is a regressive tax that most hurts the least affluent. Misdirection doesn’t help the country.

    This is so silly. The deficit is decreasing because we’re not doing pandemic aid anymore, and federal receipts are up because of inflation. Congress, or the Biden administration, didn’t do anything to lower the deficit.

    The newly created Disinformation Board should review this tweet, or maybe they need to form a new Non Sequitur Board instead. Raising corp taxes is fine to discuss. Taming inflation is critical to discuss. Mushing them together is just misdirection.

    You want to bring down inflation? Let’s make sure the wealthiest corporations pay their fair share.

    Slide decks are maybe useful for persuasion — think sales calls. But you don’t want that for internal decision meetings.

    Slide decks hide can shallow thinking. Narratively structured memos are harder to write because they require better thinking. It’s worth it.

    I see a lot of organizations relying too much on slide decks relative to actual written memos for their internal communications. Presentations are great but prose has a unique value in clarifying thought and creating an unambiguous record.

    Big potential.

    Dyslexia holds back too many of our children in school but most importantly in life. We are going to have the largest, most comprehensive approach to supporting students with dyslexia in the country. I'm proud of this moment.

    My dad is an intense, hard worker, and he’s also warm and teaches an easy smile and self-deprecating humor. My brother, sister and I could not have a better role model. We love him and are so proud of him for this well-deserved recognition from

    Agree 100%. Would add: Civility is hard. Name calling and ad hominem attacks are easy and when you use them it makes it harder to work together.

    Some mantras for political thinking: Truth is hard. Humility is hard. Independent thinking is hard. Resisting tribalism is hard. Over and over, you will forget that these things are hard, and that's probably when you'll fail at them. 1/5

    Bill is without doubt one of the smartest people I know and always worth listening to. Most people dramatically underestimate the remarkableness of this bull run. Such things are unstoppable … until they aren’t. Markets teach. The lessons can be painful.

    An entire generation of entrepreneurs & tech investors built their entire perspectives on valuation during the second half of a 13-year amazing bull market run. The "unlearning" process could be painful, surprising, & unsettling to many. I anticipate denial. Some thoughts:

    So damn cool. Congrats to MiMi and the whole Mars helicopter team.

    Camera view of the rover's backshell having impacted the surface of Mars. It looks like a hat with a flattened, shattered brim. The ground is an odixided burnt orange and brown, with some shades of gray. It's flat and relatively rocky. The backshell is a white color and looks metallic. Small bits of debris surround it.
    Tour de Force: New images from our show the parachute & backshell that landed . More than eye-popping pictures, they inform the tech we'll need for safely landing future missions, including astronauts, on the Red Planet.

    My own answer to this question is probably not. The more likely outcome in this regard is complexity in China for Tesla, rather than censorship at Twitter.

    Agree — this is a fascinating piece — no one drawn as a cartoon. Thanks for the link and reco.

    This Vanity Fair article on the "New Right" by is so conspicuously different because he does something so rare for modern journalism: he wrote about controversial thought/people to understand and explain it, not prove he's on the Good Side:

    Interesting question. Did the Chinese government just gain a bit of leverage over the town square?

    Apropos of something: -Tesla's second-biggest market in 2021 was China (after the US) -Chinese battery makers are major suppliers for Tesla's EVs. -After 2009, when China banned Twitter, the government there had almost no leverage over the platform -That may have just changed
