When Jeff Bezos got divorced, his fortune fell from $159 billion to $121 billion. Two years later, he's now worth $202B. If Bill Gates loses the same %, his fortune would fall to $98B. When the pandemic began, he had $98B. To give you a sense of how fast rich people make money.

Of all complex scenarios the founding teams planned for, the possibility of their own fans turning against them clearly never crossed their minds. They thought only challenge would come from supporters of other clubs they left behind. A historic misread

This is like global football's version of a Coppola Godfather climax scene where the music propels fast cut scenes as hit after hit goes down and the plot twists jawdroppingly 🤯

"Why e-mail makes us miserable: It creates... a tortuous cycle that increases the amount of work on our plate while simultaneously thwarting, through constant distraction, our ability to accomplish it effectively" newyorker.com/tech/annals-of…

E-Mail Is Making Us Miserable

In an attempt to work more effectively, we’ve accidentally deployed an inhumane way to collaborate.

If I get one more “tip” or “trick” designed to help women “live their best lives” I’m going to seriously lose it. It’s not women who need to change or just breathe deeply at stoplights. It’s the SYSTEMS THAT NEED TO CHANGE

It is unacceptable that so many Americans work full-time and still live in poverty. I'm glad @JoeBiden is making it a priority to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.  cnbc.com/2021/01/14/biden-ca…

Biden calls to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour

President-elect Joe Biden will call on Congress to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour as part of a $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package.
