    Re #2 -- I agree (though I don't think billionaires are to blame, nor should they be the only ones who pitch in.) Re #3 -- this is what Warren's and Bernie's wealth taxes are proposing. See:

    4/ Finally, some billionaires are wonderful people and some are awful, just like some minimum wage workers are wonderful people and some are awful. The solution is not to punish billionaires, but instead to punish bad behaviors.

    Reminds me of this E-Trade Superbowl ad from the dot-com era:

    The amazing story of how Cliff Young won the Sydney/Melbourne ultramarathon at age 61 is a🎯analogy to building a big company: - you need tremendous endurance + hard work - apply a novel approach - key motivation is the challenge, not the $ - success = creating value for others

    I'm at the Silicon Slopes Summit in Salt Lake City. Holy moly, I don't think I've ever seen a conference room this big. Also, if you're here and you're a builder, please DM me and say hi!

    The team raised $22m to help businesses w/automated business analysis. I've been working w/ & for years and they're💯. If you're looking for a fun job, the team at Outlier is awesome, has strong values, & works on fun data problems!

    Public speakers are often advised to talk more slowly. But whenever I listen to recordings of podcasts or talks that I've done, I think I sound much better and more competent at 1.5x-2x speed. Does anyone else have this experience? Should I be contrarian & talk fast all the time?

    I got a copy of 's tweet calendar. I'm excited to be featured on 2 different days! I'm 99% sure that being featured twice in a VC calendar is a leading indicator for making the annual VC Midas List. Please LMK if that's wrong. [Leo has turned off replies to this tweet.]

    I took a quiz to see which presidential candidate I align with most. () Results below. What's striking to me is how (literally) one-dimensional the options are. They are all along a line, and if you're not on that line, no candidate really represents you.

    It's definitely possible. Just like someone can be an amazing athlete, but underwhelm if they play a new sport.
