Like I said, the government can't even count ballots. And we continue to allow them to teach our children, take over our healthcare system, handle our retirement programs, decide what businesses can stay open, balance their checkbook, I could go on....

40 years ago 4 x 27 yr olds started Sun Microsystems. We were first to bundle TCP/IP on every system. Used email internally instead of paper memos. Ran production on ERP based on work editor called vi. My has the world changed. Thanks to all of the 235,000 employees + partners.

I always fondly remember our first day at Sun Microsystems on this day in 1982. Thanks forever to all of the Sun family. So many are still kicking butt and having fun. Not sure how much butt kicking I am doing but having fun for sure.

Just about everything made today should be lower cost due to better science, productivity gains, technology, cumulative wisdom, economies of scale, etc. Dominant if not the only reason stuff is more expensive is because the government has deflated the value of the dollar.

Sun Microsystems born on February 24, 1982. No more explanation needed.

Do you miss the era of the 1980s? If yes, what do you miss about the 80s? 🧐 I will soon make a detailed post explaining why the 80s generation was the greatest ever generation on earth — and will probably remain the only generation that witnessed the most fantabulous… Show more

Get rid of all government sector unions. Inherently corrupt cabal between elected officials who set the pay and the union bosses who make campaign contributions with member dollars to keep their friends in power. Soooo corrupt at local, state and fed levels.

The logs were deleted. Imagine a publicly traded private sector company "deleted logs" like this. The media would be all over the CEO and the company. Unless it got the outcome the media wanted.

Voluntarily borrow money, buy useless degree, get obligation forgiven by taxpayers? Huh?!? Return your diploma for full refund. Like a crap car. You knew you degree was crap, or should have known. This is all about swamp buying votes. Defund colleges and the government. Corrupt.

Anyone paying taxes should watch this carefully. “You are not in charge. You are not allowed to question. You don’t understand. Just keep paying your taxes. And trust your government.” Government should be descoped massively.

This is why I say you should worry about Big Govt from a privacy perspective, not private business. Comments are hilarious. Initiative is scary. Limit scope of government now.

Gates, Ballmer, Jobs all dropped out early, I finished my Harvard/Stanford degrees. I ended up chasing them my entire career. Just saying...

Unfortunately this drives up cost for law abiding folks, often leaves residents in these neighborhoods underserved when corporate has to close these unprofitable stores. Defunding the police and eliminating consequence for crime have very bad consequences for good citizens.

They do already. Start with oil companies. The overreach of political swamp rats spending most of their time holding corporations hostage and bribing them via threat of regulation/charges to get donations and back door money is rampant. Ban and enforce all or none of this.

If you believe (I don't) students are not responsible for their loan decisions/debt, then blame schools (not taxpayers) for bad product, no ROI. Make schools return tuition/room/board. Lemon law for schools. BTW, loans are not forgiven, just reassigned to innocent taxpayers.

Geez, I thought business school priorities would include silly things like efficient allocation of capital, management/sales skills, shareholder return, productivity, tax law, depreciation, etc. Defund the GSB.

This is not the country I want to hand off to my boys. And MSM is not “the media”. They are biased organizations that misrepresent the truth more than snake oil marketeers to cater to those who make them more profitable. Must be hard to rationalize working at these places.

I remember when our country thought Nixon lying about Watergate was considered the story of the year. TwitterFiles has resulted in no consequences to the guilty. But lots of consequence for the proletariat.

Curious , how many unsolicited mail in ballots were printed in the US by state in this election cycle vs total eligible voters in each state? How many people were jailed or fined last election cycle for voter fraud crimes? Anyone charged this year so far?

If you get an unsolicited spam call, answer it, say yes you are interested, please hold while I get to my office, don’t go away, very interested, and then just leave them on hold so they cant bother someone else. If we all did this, just maybe we win.

The best and fairest way redistribute wealth is through voluntary commerce: spenders to small small businesses. Worst way is through involuntary BS "stimulus" packages from corrupt and inept government rulers. Let small businesses open. Defund the government monarchs.

Lesson learned as CEO: Dont own corp real estate. Make leases short term. Barrier to exit on RE is higher than reentry. Lifesytles, tech, business, geos change faster than you expect. Flexibility is more valuable every year.
