You don’t own “web3.” The VCs and their LPs do. It will never escape their incentives. It’s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label. Know what you’re getting into…

I’m LIVE on the floor of the U.S. Senate to ask a simple question: Are any Republicans prepared to stand with rail workers who have ZERO paid sick days or are they instead going to back the outrageous greed of the rail industry? nitter.gq/i/broadcasts/1MnxnpWOj…

I still see a lot of people assuming these layoffs are a money problem. It's not. These massive companies still have lots of money. They could pay you if they wanted to. It might be useful to learn about why they don't wanna pay people right now.

Replying to @Noahpinion
Almost no cooperatively owned banks failed during the Great Depression. Also in the 2008 financial crisis, credit unions were around 2.5 times less likely to fail than non-coop banks. Same pattern in the EU and Japan also.

Friend: "How often do you see your parents?" Me: "Twice a year." Friend: "How old are they?" Me: "70" Friend: "Okay, so you'll see them 20 more times before they die." We don't have as much time with loved ones as we think we have.

So @stripe has formed a consortium of companies to create as close as they can to an Operation Warp Speed for carbon removal. This is a very exciting idea in philanthropy, very well explained by @robinsonmeyer: theatlantic.com/science/arch…

My book, "Jackpot," is out in paperback today! Pls read/RT this 🧵... Striking it rich is among the most resilient of American fantasies. We dream of the jackpot, the exit, the big payday. We spent $95 billion on lottery tickets in 2021, more than the GDPs of most nations!
