“Glue” employees—the ones who make everybody else look good—rarely get rewarded for their contributions. But bosses can change that. on.wsj.com/48lCK9A

"This generation does not intend to founder in the backwash of the coming age of space."
President John F. Kennedy's words from Sept 12, 1962 at Rice University still give us chills today.

In an AI world, the all-on-nothing college degree is a liability. We need to learn over the entirety of our careers and reskilling needs to be more agile. Working to bring the world a more flexible credit framework: youtube.com/watch?v=z5CTd4oy…

Only solution to housing crisis is to build more. Make it more expensive for cities to NOT build than to build. Tax cities in relation to their housing supply imbalance. It is a choice to not build. Make that choice more expensive.

One state ***increased*** its reading literacy for the bottom 10% of students while 49 other states let standards keep slipping.
It was the poorest state in the country, Mississippi. In 2013 they enacted a rule where at 4th grade if you can’t read, you repeat until you can.

Remember that time Biden undid a lifetime of service by breaking his word, putting his family above the law, casting dispersion on the justice system and playing into the narrative of his political enemies all while eroding public trust in the gov't he labored to serve?

To repeatedly promise that he wouldn't, then do it anyways, continues to erode trust in a moment where trust in gov't is hard to come by.
50 years from now, this is what kids will learn about Pres. Biden in their AI downloads

About 50% of the time @Clear takes longer than TSA Pre. As it has become more ubiquitous it has become less valuable.

The business model’s value is premised on exclusivity. But by making at a credit card benefit they’ve made it ubiquitous. Which has diluted the value…and soon, will be no better than TSA Pre check and often worse.

@Clear has dedicated TSA lines and agents at Denver. But at that point the Clear process just makes things worse—three digital check points to get through.
