So we know the Federal Govt has limited power to curb inflation. Most policy seems aimed at subsidies which would may actually drive more inflation not reduce it. What if they went all in to support the supply chain? Wartime-like effort to bring it back in line? Plausible?

Still struggling to believe how fast this happened. Over the last two years we’ve seen interest rates go from 2.6% to 6.2% and home prices grow 25%+. So for the monthly payment of what was a $600K house you can now only afford what was a $300K house. 🤯

@BackpackerFI It’s worse than that because there’s also 25+ price inflation. What was a $300K home is now a $400K home. So two years ago if you could afford a $600K house, now you can only afford a house that was $300K at the time. Literally cut purchasing power in half

Can someone please explain this weird Internet trend where people record themselves watching a video and then repost it split screen alongside the original video? What am I missing? Why would I want to watch someone watch a video?

@turoczy @JoeMaruschak @entrep_thinking @MoreGoodJobs @siskar @biggermatrix @UVConnect @benrav @jeff_sachse @svperfecta @SamLarke2 @pdxmitch @wmlutz MGJ was launched to meet/form friendships with peers, find better ways to do things. Plus a community of super connectors, sounded like a good thing to be a part of. I think community building can also be self serving. Most early VCs were community builders.

@MoreGoodJobs @entrep_thinking @siskar @biggermatrix @UVConnect @benrav @jeff_sachse @svperfecta @SamLarke2 @JoeMaruschak @pdxmitch @turoczy @wmlutz We are bringing prior series back to in person. Some of vents have died but new ones are emerging, like an Entrepreneur Speaker Series we’d like to start.

Excited for classes to start again today at @LeMoyne! @MDEredita @Just1Read @JimJoseph83

I’ve worked with entrepreneurs across the full political spectrum, but one thing I love about the context of entrepreneurship, we talk about their story, their goals, them as a person. Amazing how all of the noise clears out when you focus on the individual.

When you’re scheduling a meeting and the other person knows you have young kids but says “I’m really crammed, can we meet at 6pm?”

@Trace_Cohen @MoreGoodJobs @JoeMaruschak @dunkhippo33 Okay now an interesting follow on question… do VC’s generally make decisions with the reverse order priority?

@JamesShomar @MoreGoodJobs @JoeMaruschak @dunkhippo33 Sounds right, maybe too practical I think the stonk market is also a collective behavioral inducing factor that is a huge upper/downer so it makes you emotional/irrational as well.

Observation of behavior from today’s #economy. Customers make investments driven by 1) Current #cashflow 2) Expected cash flows 3) Asset Values. Thus stock market has significant impact but cashflow keeping steady. Agree? @MoreGoodJobs #VC @Trace_Cohen @JoeMaruschak @dunkhippo33
