Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven…except for those who don’t pass a denominational purity test with 100% accuracy
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God…except for those whose theology hasn’t been stamped by the creed committee
You are missing the forest for the trees

False. Trump stated that it was "another targeted attack on Christians." He never mentioned leftists.
However, I want to be very clear that Christianity is not compatible with Mormonism. This is horrible and tragic, but do not lump the two together.

🚨 Immediately after the Michigan church shooting, Trump implied the gunman was an anti-Christian leftist. But we now know: The shooter was a white Iraq War veteran —Wore a “Make Liberals Cry Again” shirt. Set fire to a church. Killed 3 people. This was no leftist attack. It was homegrown, radicalized from the right. Trump lied, again.

@jamesonhaslam @ReadThinkTweet2 SF office building, union GC, and a national tenant not really paying attention to one small lease
Listen I saw the number and the scope and thought about a career pivot for just a minute, that’s all I’m saying

I do not understand this romanticism of the trades
you want an email job, not a “oh shit I skipped and cut off my hand” job
Boring_Business@BoringBiz_
Refreshing to see younger folks gravitate towards the trades and not fall for the “you have to go to college” mentality With how expensive tuition has gotten and risk of AI automating white collar jobs first, the risk reward has tilted in blue collar’s favor

Charlie had an infinite ceiling
He could have been President someday
He could have done anything he wanted
His combination of talent + principles was unbelievably rare
Humanity lost one of its greatest warriors today
We must carry Charlie's torch onwards
Ben Shapiro@benshapiro
Like all of you, I am utterly stunned and heartbroken and sick to my soul today. It is unimaginable to write these words. I met Charlie Kirk when he was 18 years old, a young man so eager and determined that I immediately turned to a friend and said, “That kid is going to be the head of the RNC one day.” Charlie became even bigger and more important than that. It was a privilege to watch this principled man stand up for his beliefs and create the single most important conservative political organization in America. But more importantly, Charlie was a good man, a man who believed in right and wrong, who stood by his Biblical values. All of us will miss him, and I can’t imagine the pain of his beautiful young family, and we must all pray for them. And we must pick up the baton where Charlie left it, fighting for the things he believed in so passionately. And we must fight for a better America - an America where good people can speak truth and debate passionately without fear of a bullet. I weep for Charlie’s family, and I weep for my country today. Most of all, I weep for Charlie.

🇺🇸 USA budget deficit:
2000: $236 billion
2001: $128 billion
2002: $158 billion
2003: $378 billion
2004: $413 billion
2005: $318 billion
2006: $248 billion
2007: $161 billion
2008: $459 billion
2009: $1.41 trillion
2010: $1.29 trillion
2011: $1.30 trillion
2012: $1.07 trillion
2013: $680 billion
2014: $485 billion
2015: $442 billion
2016: $585 billion
2017: $665 billion
2018: $779 billion
2019: $984 billion
2020: $3.13 trillion
2021: $2.77 trillion
2022: $1.38 trillion
2023: $1.70 trillion
2024: $1.83 trillion
Note: A budget deficit occurs when money going out (spending) exceeds money coming in (revenue) during a defined period. In FY 2024, the federal government spent $6.75 trillion and collected $4.92 trillion in revenue, resulting in a deficit. The amount by which spending exceeds revenue, $1.83 trillion in 2024, is referred to as deficit spending.
English
It will massively increase the already gigantic budget deficit to $2.5 trillion (!!!) and burden America citizens with crushingly unsustainable debt

I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.

Trump is strategically lying about Project 2025.
1. He knows most of it polls about like Ebola.
2. He knows his base doesn't care nerd policy crap.
3. Heritage has done the work and every word in P2025 will be his policy.

At my hedge fund, I pay an analyst to walk around parks in Austin, SF, and NY and ask these people who are tanning at 2pm on a Tuesday where they work.
We then short the stock.
We’re up 728% this year.

Ok only my second time at In-n-Out, first was at least 5 years ago. Good burger but not better than pre PE Whataburger, which seems to be hit and miss these days. The fries are trash at In-n-Out

@I_Am_NickBloom For established businesses that aren’t trying to meaningfully grow, it’s probably fine.
But if you are competing with in person teams, you probably won’t be as effective.

What do you think is the biggest societal problem we are facing right now? Climate change, war, fractured politics, nuclear proliferation or perhaps global poverty?
According to a big office real-estate developer it's work from home. Yes really. See the quote below and watch the CBS interview. You can't make this stuff up.
As the Upton Sinclair quote goes: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it."

@parkersfields @TripleNetInvest Hey Parker! I am an industrial developer in VA. I found you through construction coach's mutual connections. Are you a developer too?

Honest truth:
I know it's very challenging in the commercial real estate world right now
And there's a wave of bad news - whether it be office or multi-family, the news has been negative
Things ARE going to get worse before they get better but the good news is...
For those that have been hoarding cash and been patient, 2024 will perhaps be the best buying opportunity in over a decade
If you're still sitting on the sidelines, it's time to start putting in the work and putting yourself in a position to jump on any opportunities that may arise
2024 will be a GREAT year
Triple Net Investor@TripleNetInvest
I have a feeling that there are going to be some tremendous opportunities in real estate within the next 24 months. Being patient and hoarding cash would be wise. For some, generation wealth will be made.

More communication and collaboration is better, so I agree that remote collaboration is generally a positive.
But is that the question the original paper was trying to answer?
The paper is arguing that in person teams are more successful than remote teams. Is that something you agree with?
English
@parkersfields Not sure - you tell me. This is the figure from there follow-up paper. We are in the year 2023 - what would be your take on the impact of remote collaboration on innovation? Mine would be positive

This is a great paper, but it is *massively* misunderstood.
It does not show that WFH reduces innovation. This paper and its follow-up actually suggests by 2023 that WFH increases innovation. To explain:
1) This paper is about *collocation* not *WFH*. They are completely different. If two people share the same office address - even if they are both hybrid or remote - they would be classified as collocated. For example, my co-author Steve Davis and I both work a hybrid schedule at Stanford, coming to the office maybe 2 days a week. We both have a Stanford office address on papers. So, for this paper we would count as being *collocated*. Indeed, almost all hybrid WFH teams would count as collocated.
2) Co-author teams are becoming more dispersed. The paper reports the average distance between team members offices has increased from 100km to 1,000km over the last 60 years. This reveals that tens of thousands of scientists are choosing to work in more global teams, presumably to access a wider network of experts. I co-author with researchers across five continents because it lets me work with great people. If teams of elite scientists, whose entire careers are focused on cutting-edge innovation, are becoming more dispersed it suggests it has major benefits.
3) The results do not hold after 2010. This is critical as Zoom and Dropbox cloud file sharing emerged after 2010. Indeed the follow-up paper by Carl Frey (one of the co-authors) and Giorgio President from Oxford shows innovation is *higher* for remote collaboration after 2010! drive.google.com/file/d/1vLk_Gr…
So a fantastic paper - it deserves to be published in Nature. But to understand it you need to read beyond the title. You can't judge a book by its cover, nor a Nature paper by its 6 word title.
And please forward this to any mangers or CEOs claiming this implies WFH reduces innovation. It does not - indeed points (2) and (3) suggest exactly the reverse.
