I support Mexican travel vouchers as a stimulus package, usable in the country of Mexico by receipt.

$1,000 travel vouchers to every family now

Must spend the money in Mexico with receipt

Cabo San Lucas, Cancun anybody?

 Got to preserve our go to North American spots!

Or you can call these sanctions on the GOP, for dangerous Latino rhetoric the last 5 years.
This could also be the cultural learning experience that the GOP truly is calling for regarding their calls of unity ;)
GOP, put your money where your mouth is and give us $1,000 stimulus packages to Mexico!! If you truly want, unity.
Vouchers accepted in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Jamaica, and Hawaii.

Florida travel ban, NOW
These sanctions would in effect be a sanction for the state of Florida, some of the most depraved GOP sinister evil racist politicians.
And that ladies and gentlemen, is how you get rid of Matt Gaetz, Rick Scott, Marco Rubio, Ron DeSantis. This is how you truly threaten the year 2022, and further the Senate lead. Positioning for 2024.

I would also hereby sanction the state of Texas.

To punish Ted Cruz

CC @BetoORourke

BCC @tedcruz
The stimulus package would require that no connecting flights can connect in the states of Texas or Florida.

None of the stimulus money can be spent in those states at all.

This is how you put guys like Rick Scott and Ted Cruz in check.

You have to hit them where it hurts

These sanctions would in effect, turn the states of Texas and Florida blue in 2024.

I propose this bill by the likes of the following politicians:

@BernieSanders
@AOC
@Hickenlooper
@SenatorBennet
@RepPerlmutter

I ask, as your constituent, please begin to draft the bill📄
This would also lift the airline industry organically, without huge bailouts to GOP stockholders, of the said airline industry.

This will help in the deficit, paying for itself upon completion.

Hear me out:
Money would have to be spent under the rule of the special stimuli
1/3 of that money would go directly back into the airline industry.

then we can take the money that we were going to give the airline industry and put that in the pockets of small business owners

Small business must consist of shops getting a prorate of share based on employees
Shop owners with employees of three or less would receive a high-grade prorate share of the small business stimulus.

4 to 9 employees would be the next slot
at #2

#3, 10 employees to 24 employees

#4 25 employees to 100

The bill would place a tax burden on companies with 100+
The bill would penalize those companies which were caught lowering their employee threshold in order to get the stimuli

Taxes for companies with 1,000 employees or more will go very high

Taxes for companies with 2,500 employees or more will go extremely high

5,000, taxed 2 🌛
That's right, taxed to the moon.

I would call this the Unity Appreciation Culture bill, or #UAC

I bet Microsoft and Bill Gates would also sponsor a relief package, stimulated directly into this bill

CC @BillGates @Microsoft @gatesfoundation
@melindagates
It's time to call out the militarized companies during the pandemic and not give them any more money

At last count I heard the military budget was $778 billion dollars during the pandemic

therefore militarized companies which are building weapons of warfare should not be bailed
Why would USA spend $778 billion on the military during a pandemic?

Therefore the UAC bill should have no bailout for companies such as Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, etc

Boeing would in effect be okay, not by any more bailout money but by the UAC bill

#UAC bill now, please
In order to use the money you would have to present vaccination paperwork, have the antibodies in a negative antibody test, and obviously be covid negative.

They said for so long that Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

I intend for ideas to tear down that virtual wall
People need to get out of their houses

This generates economy with pet sitters, rental car companies, gig economy services, and ultimately pays back to the service industry of people of color.

Travel abroad, change your mind. Travel to the second world, venture to 3rd World
Traveling internationally has mental and psychological benefits. Our children need to get out of the USA in order to understand it better from a larger microscope.

Attached to this bill, could be a conjunction with the department of education. children can learn!
The child's normal classwork would be exempt, provided a report and a collage and a study is presented to the classroom upon return. The teacher could simply announce that "Joe or Jim is out for this week in Mexico", "and today we are going to learn about the Aztec and Mayans"
getting folks out of the house who have the antibodies present in their system or the vaccination is very good for society in whole. There is too much covid shaming and covid stigma. These antibodies should populate, or dare I say, repopulate the Earth.
I would be in favor of creating a bill regarding covid, or tucking it into this #UAC bill, which prevents any further bills having unrelated pandemic bills attached.... In other words, It benefits no one for Raytheon to get stimulus alongside a people's bill, and is unrelated
Any bill which is unrelated to the pandemic should not be voted on in the next two years.

Stimulate the health industry
Stimulate the car industry

Because folks need cars to drive to the hospital.

We just don't need a tomahawk missile right now, completely ineffective.
#UNITYAPPRECIATINGCULTURE #UAC

@AOC,

DO YOU SUPPORT#UAC ?

Let's hit Ted Cruz and Rick Scott where it hurts.

Our intuitions often leads us astray. A good reminder: study counterintuitive math and economic results.

Here are 9 of them 🧵

The Birthday Paradox

In a room of 23 people, there's a >50% chance that 2 people share the same birthday.

This type of probabilistic thinking does *not* come naturally to many people.


The Coastline Paradox

Fractal geometry is also confounding:

The coastline of a landmass does not have a well-defined measurement. As the unit of measurement gets smaller (eg. from KMs to cm), the length increases without limit.


Winner's Curse

In an auction, the winning bid will usually exceed the intrinsic worth of an item leading to a significant overpay (and negative net profit for the winner).


Braess's Paradox

Removing an extra road can make everyone's commute time faster.

Why? The existence of a "fast" road leads to congestion because everyone uses it. If you remove the shortcut, traffic flows better.

A children's book explanation of what's happening:

1. If you are "smart money" you are allowed to take your $1 and leverage it up to $15+

2. You can now buy $15 of stock AND if you promise to short companies, you can short $15 of stock as well

3. In finance language, this means that you are $30 "gross" ($15 of longs + $15 of shorts) but $0 net (+$15 of longs -$15 of shorts). This makes everyone feel good because it feels like you are taking zero risk...but in reality, your $1 is exposed to $30 of risk.

4. Now you go around and tell your friends about both your longs and your shorts and when you do it at a restaurant vs on Reddit, its called an "ideas dinner".

5. You also publish your longs on a quarterly lag via an SEC rule. You don't have to tell anyone about your shorts.

6. Now the less cool people who weren't invited to the ideas dinners, start copying your longs based on your report.

7. You realize that publicizing your shorts is also a good idea so instead of only selling stocks, you also BUY options (puts) which has to be reported.

8. Now everyone can see both your longs and your shorts and if you have a hot hand, you can likely predict that the cool people from the dinner as well as the less cool people monitoring your filings will copy you.

9. But then an outsider notices that the math is way off!

1/ There are a ton of books about Financial & Fundamental Analysis, Scuttlebutt and Technical Analysis. But there aren't many books 'taking risk'.

Among the few that exist, 'Zurich Axioms', written in 1985, is the best. Here are my key takeaways from the book.


2/ A bit about Max Gunther's (The Author) background. He was an Anglo-American journalist and writer, who wrote 26 Books.

His father, Franz Heinrich, was the New York Head of Schweizerischer Bankverein, which later merged into the famous Union Bank of Switzerland (UBS).

3/ The 'Zurich Axioms' were a set of unwritten rules followed by a informal group of Swiss Bankers and Traders who used to socialize around Wall Street after World War II. Mr. Heinrich was one of the founding members.

Max Gunter formalied these 'Axioms' by writing about them.

4/ There are 12 'Major Axioms' and 16 'Minor Axioms' (Corollary to the Major Axioms) in the book.

But remember, this is MY key takeaways from the book and not an exact summary. So you might find quotes, phrases and links inserted here and there by me (Not from the Author).

5/ Axiom #1: In order to earn returns, you must take risk. Risk will make you worry.

Risk-taking and worrying go hand-in-hand. If you're not worried about an investment, you're not taking risk.

Spend half your energy towards earning an income and the rest towards speculation.

One thing that goes unremarked about Wikipedia: the vast majority of the content was written over 12 years ago—which means (given turnover) that the editors dominant today were not directly involved in that creation.

Put another way, the editors who built the dominant nodes in this network...


...have little overlap with the ones who made this much more recent managerial flowchart.


Internet time runs at hundred-fold speed—the difference between the people who painted what's in the Uffizi, and the people in charge of keeping those paintings from deteriorating. Very different tasks, and (one presumes) very personalities as well. @PaulSkallas?

Joshua Hawley, Missouri's Junior Senator, is an autocrat in waiting.

His arrogance and ambition prohibit any allegiance to morality or character.

Thus far, his plan to seize the presidency has fallen into place.

An explanation in photographs.

🧵

Joshua grew up in the next town over from mine, in Lexington, Missouri. A a teenager he wrote a column for the local paper, where he perfected his political condescension.

2/


By the time he reached high-school, however, he attended an elite private high-school 60 miles away in Kansas City.

This is a piece of his history he works to erase as he builds up his counterfeit image as a rural farm boy from a small town who grew up farming.

3/


After graduating from Rockhurst High School, he attended Stanford University where he wrote for the Stanford Review--a libertarian publication founded by Peter Thiel..

4/

(Full Link: https://t.co/zixs1HazLk)


Hawley's writing during his early 20s reveals that he wished for the curriculum at Stanford and other "liberal institutions" to change and to incorporate more conservative moral values.

This led him to create the "Freedom Forum."

My dad led an organization of over 300,000 employees.

When I took on my biggest marketing & events team to date (35 employees) I asked him how the *heck* he did it. Here's what he said and what helped me every day. 🧵

Remember you're leading all the employees under you, but you're not *managing* them all. You're managing your direct reports, which should be 5-7 individuals max. Focus on them.

When you interact with the employees you don't manage directly, get to know them as people first, that'll be the most valuable information in leading them. Remembering everything you learn about them is hard, but doing so will make you a superhero.

If you're not going to empower the managers under you, why do you have them? If you see room for improvement, let the manager know and let them make the change on their teams and come to you with questions/concerns. This will save you SO much time.

If you're the smartest person in any room - you're doing it wrong. As a leader, your job is bringing together the best people to get the job done - your skillset is identifying those people, not being one of them.
