I started a software company in 2015 with a co-founder and an angel investor. I had zero experience running a business, zero sales experience, zero experience running and building software. Despite all of that, we were generating 2M in ARR when I sold the company at more than 7x

@MagicalNBA Paolo’s play making has gotten better every year. Franz is a playmaker. Shooting is the issue.

The next coach for the Magic will have to scheme around 2 big wings who can't playmake or shoot, an undersized C and no starting caliber PG on the roster. It's not that appealing of a job to anyone who wants to win championships.

@OMagicDaily @MaxwellOgden The problem is they keep making him a PG. he’s a defensive guy. 3 from the corner should be his shot. Not running point.

The #Magic have a lot of big decisions to make after another first-round playoff loss. Jalen Suggs is among the players who may not be back to take the next step, @MaxwellOgden writes: orlandomagicdaily.com/orlando-magic-…

@MagicalNBA Up until this year the growth has been consistent. First step is a new coach. I don’t really see where Weltman has made terrible mistakes. Outside of shooters. Nailed it with P5 and Franz and Suggs. And Bane was the sharpshooter they needed. Injuries derailed the season

I've hated Weltman going on 6 years now. He is incompetent and has tortured this fan base with his concept of slow growth and internal development. He says that while he rakes in WAY too much money a year. Another terrible hire by Alex Martins, who is also completely useless.

@BQRMagic Definitely the coach and not because he’s terrible. They’re under achieving because he got them to that point. But Paolo and Franz need a coach for their next phases. I’m not convinced the GM has to go. When Franz was back, they had Detroit on the ropes with Bane struggling.

I think everyone can agree the Magic need a new coach. That's the easiest call. More difficult is do they need a new head of basketball operations. Big summer. Everything has to be on the table. This can't happen again.

@Nickolasnolan22 Haliburton had a calf sprain, came back early and blew his Achilles. KD also. Magic are not winning the finals, better to have him healthy and not out a year plus because of an Achilles tear

Lol think Kobe would miss a game 6 with an opportunity to close out a series? I don’t think so. This generation is softer than charmin

@OrlandoMagic I hope he sits. Everytime a player comes back too soon they blow their Achilles.

An MRI conducted Tuesday showed that forward Franz Wagner suffered a right calf strain. He sustained the injury during the third quarter of Monday night’s Game 4 of its best-of-seven playoff series vs. Detroit. He is questionable for Game 5, and his availability will depend on how he responds to treatment.

@MorePerfectUS Well to start that's because they weren't on the marketplace here in FL.

The CEO of UnitedHealth Group said on a recent earnings call that the number of people getting healthcare with them through the Affordable Care Act is plummeting. Overall they expect those numbers to decline by 33% this year.

@briandcrocker @BNONews That’s literally the definition of insider trading.

@BNONews This is bullshit. Let him bet on himself, there was no guarantee of success so it’s not even insider trading, which is worse, and congress totally gets away with that. Would they have refunded his money to his wife if he’d of died in the operation? No.

BREAKING: Person who won more than $400,000 by betting on Maduro's removal has been identified as a U.S. soldier who participated in the operation. The soldier has now been arrested, according to ABC News.

@negligible_cap Zero chance they bail on the construction plans. They’re clearly building it for a rea$on

Ken Griffin is “appalled” that Zohran used his $238m Manhattan penthouse in his tax the rich promotional video Citadel is now apparently considering bailing on their construction plans to build a new office in Midtown. The project would involve $6 billion in spending and would create 15k permanent jobs in NYC according to Citadel’s COO "It is shameful that he used Ken's name as the example of those who supposedly aren't carrying their fair share of the burdens associated with New York City's often costly and wasteful spending," the email said. "In doing so, the mayor has once again manifested the ignorance and disdain of the elite political class towards those who have been consistently committed to building one of the greatest cities in the world." Would be both incredibly petty but also hilarious if Citadel backed out of their plans over this

@unusual_whales Yeah okay…if it makes dollars it makes sense. He’s not cancelling shit

BREAKING: Billionaire Ken Griffin of Citadel is "appaled that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his Manhattan penthouse as the backdrop as the tax-the-rich video," per Bloomberg As a result, Griffin has raised the possibility that the company might not move forward with a massive new Midtown construction project.

@_xaibii It’s simple. Fatu is a star and one of the few that Roman can go up against with the belt on the line. Not sure if you noticed but I’m pretty sure Roman’s next run will be used to build up a couple new stars. I would put money on it that this is his last run.

This makes absolutely no sense. Jacob Fatu is a SmackDown Superstar, while Roman Reigns is the World Heavyweight Champion on RAW. So how does Fatu just show up and say he needs a title shot? He didn’t win the Royal Rumble. He didn’t win King of the Ring. He didn’t win Elimination Chamber. He doesn’t have Money in the Bank. No accomplishments, no clear path… nothing. And yet somehow, Jacob Fatu is still stepping up to challenge Roman Reigns. It feels completely random… But now, the real reason behind it has finally been revealed.

@steamboateldaw @WWE @RazorFist @HulkHogan Take a look it’s in a book. Reading rainbow. 🌈

@WWE @RazorFist @HulkHogan Funny how everyone on the internet calls him a racist but can’t identify a single time he acted in a racist manner against a person of color simply because they were more melanated.

The @HulkHogan Statue has been unveiled at #WWEWorld! 🫡 #WrestleMania

The irony 😂. He’s rolling over in his grave.

@AaronRegunberg @AnnaHorford Imagine riding someone’s dick so hard that doesn’t give two shits about you. These people hope one day to sit at the table of the uber rich but they never will. Meanwhile they’re strapped by the policies they themselves defend.

It's literally -- literally -- a tax on empty luxury properties that nobody lives in. These people already live in Florida, you dumbass.

@ErikKaiser @BillAckman By the way, I’m in the top 5% of America. I can guarantee you there is no envy. I just don’t ride guys like Bill Ackman’s D. He can afford to pay a little more on his Penthouse and so can his friends. Especially if it means it benefits all Americans

Yes, poverty is eradicated. The poorest people in this country have cars, cell phones, and air conditioning. It’s not 1880, and there aren’t masses living in squalor waiting on a modern day Cabrini. The question is where do you see poverty as some national problem? And people in NYC, LA, etc make 10m on W2. It’s the finance capital. Bonuses, salaries, etc. CEOs make that at public companies. There are no tax loopholes that disadvantage “poor” people. You’re just describing your envy and desire to take from someone else what they have because you think people with more money than you should be punished for having it based on nothing but empty data. That’s all this is. Have you considered “poor” people becoming rich? How do you reconcile that? So if someone like Oprah Winfrey grows up poor she has to be punished for her financial success because of what exactly? Because of some imaginary tax loopholes? Then pass legislation to close the loophole whatever that loophole is. What is the loophole exactly?

Non-residents who spend millions of dollars on NYC apartments help drive NYC’s economy. Most of the profit in condominium development is in the penthouses. The Ken Griffins of the world make NYC high end development viable, driving high-paying construction, brokerage, legal, marketing, and other jobs in NYC. We should be applauding Ken for spending $238 million in NYC, not attacking him for doing so. Importantly, non-resident owners of NYC apartments who leave their apartments vacant for much of the year are not a burden to NYC schools, services, or other resources while they drive growth in retail sales, restaurants, theater, and other important drivers of our economy. They also often support NYC non-profits with donations. Ken’s company is a major employer in NYC of very high paying jobs which drive a considerable amount of our tax base. We wouldn’t want him to move even more employees to Miami. These non-resident owners also already pay a lot of taxes including mansion taxes, real estate taxes, sales taxes and more. While @NYCMayor Mamdani likes the tag line ‘Tax the rich.’ Unfortunately, his policies will harm the constituencies he is supposedly trying to help. I can’t imagine the NYC construction unions are excited about his plan.

@ErikKaiser @BillAckman What exactly is your idea of being “punished”? Specifically in the context of Oprah Winfrey. Is she “punished” because she’s taxed at the same percentage as someone making 65-70k a year? Poverty being eradicated is a first I’ve ever heard someone lie about.

@ErikKaiser @BillAckman Poverty is eradicated? Where do you see that poverty is eradicated? And who on earth is making 10M on W2? You know exactly what I’m referring to. The tax loopholes that unfairly disadvantage the average/poor American. By your logic, people are poor by choice?

No one making $20/hr pays more taxes than someone earning the same W2 pay as $10,000,000. That’s just incoherent. If you’re talking about tax rate it’s still incoherent. And why do you want to penalize people for making money. Poverty is eradicated in the US. If people don’t want to make money, don’t penalize them either.

@ErikKaiser @BillAckman Who said all that? It’s a very simple concept. Just because one person has more that doesn’t mean they pay less. Economies of scale doesn’t apply to taxes. No reason someone working for $20/hr should pay more taxes than the CEO making 10M a year.

@jrivera84 @BillAckman Well, I’d like to take what you have. You can do with less. Whatever it is it’s not fair you have it, because it’s likely luck. And I’ll tell you what I think is fair.

@ErikKaiser @BillAckman Having 1.4 Billion instead of 1.5 Billion so the burden is distributed better.

@jrivera84 @BillAckman They are coming for you. If you have a penny more than anyone else, you’re a target.
