I live all over, but Texas and SF feel like home. Sometimes DC. My superpower is I see so many awesome people, and I do my best to call them out. Mr. Rogers is my hero. And Ted Lasso.
I also like programming, using AI for good, and macroeconomics. He/him

It’s a market. It surfaces new information faster than anything else, but it still is not “efficient.”
These markets are very often exploitable using good, averaged polling.
But when they move, pay attention.

She’s always been not mentally well.
I think she’s pulling a Fetterman but more permanently. Without MAGA to support her, she can’t sustain being her crazy self in public so she leaves.

If you can, always research leadership at your company. It’s basic job due diligence. You could see Elon was a film flam man based on his corporate governance in the mid 2010s
