This is a fascinating thread about how to demonstrably improve Indiana through policy xitter.cf/adamwren/status/138604…

I don't understand the comparisons of @elonmusk to Trump for hosting SNL. One figured out how to re-use rockets which makes long-distance space travel more likely. One suggested we inject ourselves with disinfectant to kill coronavirus.

Is there any modeling about how a capital gains increase affects early-stage startup investments? Doubling the top rate means there is 25% less capital available to reinvest. Does that amount materially impact early-stage startups or is there enough investment already?

On the same day, we flew a helicopter on Mars and vaccines are available to all adults in the US. We are capable of so much when we are ambitious.

Congratulations to our friends in Columbus for signing the lease to their new maker space. The 'Propeller' will become the heart of their startup ecosystem, serving as the perfect venue to continue launching and accelerating companies. 🎉 🎊 🎈 therepublic.com/2021/04/16/m…

9 of Indiana's 11 Senators and Reps have tweeted about FedEx. (Where are @repmrvan and @reptrey?) All mention sadness and tragedy. 3 awaited details. (What?) 4 thanked law enforcement and first responders. I wonder what they think about politicians putting them in harm's way.

By my count, only 3 of Indiana's 11 Senators and Representatives have tweeted about FedEx. We need to elect stronger leaders. @SenatorBraun @RepAndreCarson @SenToddYoung

It's during business hours now and we're only at 4 of 11. Clearly, this isn't on their radar. xitter.cf/RepJimBanks/status/138…
Amanda and I mourn the lives lost in Indianapolis last night and are praying for all involved. We are grateful to the local law enforcement who quickly responded to this senseless tragedy.

Vintage ad (100 today!) from the Showers Brothers, which is where The Mill is. Bloomington's first innovation-driven company invented laminate veneer, which made furniture available to the masses. Some of their pieces were in the White House, some are still in the Smithsonian.

"The culture is 'yes and' for developing new programs and support mechanisms rather than a 'no' culture that inhibits growth. Not everything works of course but we at least try and pivot around the valuable outcomes to provide more benefit the next time." elevateventures.com/spotligh…

Lots of folks are making fun of Reuters charging $35/mo. "I don't get it." "How can they compete against WaPo and NYT?" In that same NYT article, they said their strategy is to target professionals and industries that need to know specifically how the news affects them directly.

Their strategy doesn't work only if they're overestimating the # of people who want to read articles and not just headlines, which based on their announcement, is most folks
