The S&P 500 is less than 1% from setting another all time record high. Hope you guys weathered the economic apocalypse okay. As always, buy and hold and ignore the catastrophists whose brains have all been broken by Trump.


I lost a successful company I cofounded with 100 employees due to covid changing the business environment overnight. I’m proud of all the great jobs we created. And that is the one reason I would want successful businesses to hire as many people as possible. But I don’t miss the 15 years of stress in making that big payroll. You are very smart to optimize your business the way you do. And I am now doing the same. Contractors all the way. Never again do I want to deal with payroll. But I feel bad about it. The US used to have a gazillion great jobs by small businesses, and PE firms and onerous regulations that only enterprise could deal with have taken a huge bite out of this ecosystem. No idea if official stats back me up, but anecdotally it feels that way. Hopefully AI creates more jobs than it takes away. But if not, then the $1B solo founder companies could be a sad outcome.












“White boy” is a slur meant to emasculate White men. How many other men on earth are openly called boys? Black boys, mexican boys, arab boys… not a thing. Only White men are called boys because it is based on spite and resentment.
