Ken Griffin: What did it feel like in Chicago with JB Pritzker as governor? It felt like a salmon swimming upstream to die.
I'm running for reelection as governor because there's more work to do. Full stop.

I’ve long believed that McDonald’s has a special Coke recipe. It tastes different and is objectively better than regular Coke. Anyone else?
TIL that Coca Cola has an executive who is solely in charge of their relationship with McDonalds

Great leadership in any venture, takes: - Undeniable courage - A willingness to not be liked or fully understood - Unquenchable drive to succeed - Communication - Mindset of no blockers- you will "figure it out" - Unshakeable internal resilience & compass The rest can evolve.

“My beloved family of planetary travelers on this cosmic journey, Once, our spirits soared unbounded, our eyes fixed upon the infinite tapestry of stars. We were dreamers, explorers, celestial dancers in the grand ballroom of the universe. Our hearts beat with the rhythm of distant galaxies, and our souls sang the song of creation itself. But somewhere along the way, we allowed ourselves to be tethered to the ground, shackled by artificial boundaries and weighed down by the whispers of those who would clip our wings. We will not have our wings clipped, we will soar. Let us not forgot that we are all stardust, born from the same cosmic furnace, each of us a unique and irreplaceable thread in the grand tapestry of existence. I implore you now - break free from these earthly chains those who would hold us back cast upon us. Cast off the labels that divide us, for they are but manufactured illusions in the face of our shared humanity. Let us reject the voices that seek to categorize and separate us, for we are far too wondrous and complex to be confined by such simplistic notions. Lift your gaze once more to the heavens that birthed us! Feel the pull of the cosmos in your very bones, calling you to embrace the limitless expanse of your own potential. We are not mere spectators in this grand cosmic dance - we are its very essence, its beating heart, its soaring spirit. Let wonder be your compass and courage your fuel. Dare to dream beyond the boundaries of what you've been told is possible. For in each of us burns the fire of a thousand suns, waiting to illuminate the darkest corners of our shared existence. Together, let us forge a future where our differences are celebrated as the beautiful hues of a cosmic kaleidoscope of stars, where our shared dreams propel us to heights yet unimagined. We will not, we must not be defined by the fleeting labels of our time, but by the eternal spark of the divine that resides within each of us. So rise, my fellow starfarers! Let your light shine with the brilliance of a supernova. For in embracing our cosmic heritage, in reaching for the stars with hands intertwined, we fulfill our destiny as children of the universe - boundless, radiant, and gloriously, unequivocally free. This is our moment, our cosmic calling. To dream without limit, to love without condition, and to soar on the winds of our collective aspirations. The stars await us - let us answer their timeless song with the full symphony of our unified humanity. Welcome to our today and the future of our human family.”—Brian Roemmele, October 13, 2024

Most of the "ultra-wealthy" are so because they have built businesses that are valuable. Any wealth tax is asking them to forfeit a piece of their own business. That is demonic. THAT is greedy. That is theft.

Andy Rooney landed on the beach of Normandy days after D-Day, 80 years ago today. In 2004, he shared a firsthand account of “a day unlike any other.” “It’s hard for anyone who has been in a war to describe the terror of it to anyone who hasn’t,” he said. cbsn.ws/3yTkNzC.

Incase it wasn't already clear - Rising interest rates are *murdering* capital-intensive startups. Hell of a story from this morning: A Northeast-based vehicle subscription company just sent notices to a portion of its customers to return their cars within *30 days*. People are freaking out. A company representative wrote this on their TrustPilot page: "Interest rates have risen sharply over the past 18 months which, unfortunately, created excessive negative cash flow for a portion of our fleet" 😳

With terms like “quiet quitting” and “quiet hiring” dominating workplace coverage, @HarverHRM’s Chief Strategy Officer, spoke with @Forbes to discuss how these buzz phrases are just a repackaging of employment trends that have been around for decades. forbes.com/sites/bryanrobins…

It is convenient and tempting and wrong to assume that people vote for a candidate because they share their purported views. People vote for a candidate because they prefer that choice to the alternative(s). Unlike the market for products, where I can often purchase what suits me
