I was incredibly concerned with the debt.
Now I get it.
It’s never going down.
The budget will never get balanced.
Both parties don’t care and if they say they do they are lying.
Fighting about taxes is silly.
We can’t tax our way out of it.
There isn’t enough tax revenue to be extracted.
We are going to print our way out of it.
5% real inflation forever.
What’s 40 trillion in debt if we inflate the gdp to 100 trillion?
It’s the only choice.
Both sides want to keep spending.
My thesis the next 30 years:
The dollar will be worth less tomorrow than today.
The government will promise anything and spend everything.
Plan accordingly.

If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.

Having very much done both..
VP at bigco is like being at a 5 star resort with a lot of annoying mosquitos
Founder is like being on a remote island with a 5% possibility of a tsunami at any given time
Pick your poison

I am a startup founder who did YC, started, invested in, raised VC, bootstrapped, acquired (cash & SBA loans), and sold multiple companies. If you get enough practice, you eventually get some solid wins.
Nothing makes me happier than to teach folks to avoid mistakes I made along the way. Follow along and I’ll share what I know!
If you want to get rich on X, it isn't going to be through creator revenue or meme coins.
Instead, think about one subject matter that you know more about than anyone else in the world. It can be anything: plumbing, menswear, Indian food, furniture, social apps, whatever.
Post one unexpected insight you picked from your experience in that area. Keep it under 5 sentences. Do this every day for 6 months.
If you stick to it, we will promote your account to others.
By the end, you will be recognized as the world's leading expert in that subject area and you can charge whatever you want for endorsements, your time, or whatever. And no one will be able to take that way from you.

The idea that depositors are creditors to a bank is an absurd and outdated notion. Everyone just wants a checking account, not to loan the bank money.

From Robinhood employee posted to Reddit
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Reddit post in the screenshot does not provide evidence that the anonymous poster is an employee at Robinhood, or that any of the info said is true. This is an unconfirmed claim.

I've found that many (MANY) startups, including @getyardsale/@teamfobo get stuck after launching and raising in the trough of sorrow. Some might argue that you need a complex way to measure product/market fit... but what I keep finding is that founders get overwhelmed by choices.

For the past 6 mo, I’ve been coaching Jr product managers and CEOs without product leads. We focus on PM practices and building PM orgs. Think product focused exec coaching.
If you’re a black product manager wanting mentorship, I’ll coach you for free. DMs are open.

There will be no citywide curfew tonight in Nashville. Yesterday’s peaceful demonstration on the steps of the State Capitol honored our city’s history of non-violent social change. First responders will maintain a presence to protect residents and property.

I gotta be honest the worst looting I've ever seen take place happened a few weeks ago when corporations collected over 500 billion dollars in stimulus money while everyone else was left with a $1200 dollar check and having to decide if they pay for food or rent..
