Dinakar has been a mentor for 22 years. He is singularly responsible for the success I have had professionally and personally. Being the first analyst at TPG Axon was the formative experience of my career, and learning from Dinakar about life has never stopped. What a story.
Happy Father’s Day to all To commemorate, we are releasing one of the most powerful stories I’ve ever heard Dinakar Singh was a legend at Goldman before launching Axon He launched Axon to help finance his crusade to cure his daughter’s rare disease This one rocked me

Probably the person I’ve admired most from afar in building an organization and culture of winning. The GOAT:

Random tariffs are obviously bad for America. Negotiating 70 bilateral agreements with uncertain goals, timelines and outcomes is awful too. Put another way, why would anyone buy anything until this resolves. Who wants potentially high cost inventories on their balance sheet?

I really just can’t believe I agree with Rand Paul and Ted Cruz.
Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit

Have a lot of analysts work diligently on rational, data driven analysis and then have a mercurial decision maker just do something unrelated and random.

As a reminder, Congress could repeal all these tariffs tomorrow and take back the complete authority over tariffs and trade that the Constitution gives it. Every congressman who does not vote to do that is effectively choosing to support this massive tax on US consumers.
Just brilliant. Because Indonesia has a high tax on coffee imports, Trump's going to put a 32% tax on coffee imports from Indonesia - even though the US exports no coffee to Indonesia (or most anywhere else). He literally does not understand the concept of comparative advantage.
