My wife and I continue to donate to @Wikipedia because it is a nonprofit that chooses to provide info to the world and not be persuaded by money or advertisers. I believe we can choose to pay for value instead of getting things for free so that marketers have a persona to target.

Will our break from normal business and traffic allow us to see if we are able to slow down climate change?

I suspect we'll not only hold more meetings by phone/video, but we'll also hear a lot more kids in the background given that folks can't work from their office and their kids can't go to school or daycare. What I'm saying is "I'll try to be professional with kids climbing on me"

You know who doesn't get sick? Robots and AI. If you haven't thought about how your job will go the way of AI yet, it may be time to start that conversation.

Market opportunity alert: think of all companies and orgs that believed the only way to be productive is to put everyone under one roof. Now #coronavirus is forcing them to allow remote work. Soon this "temporary" work anywhere situation will be seen as 'not that bad after all'.

Hold up... What's that? @TulsiGabbard is pushing for universal basic income now? I'm listening... She had been my second choice but this acknowledgment of the need for #UBI to adjust for a tech takeover has my attention. #YangGang I take back my last tweet...

Here I go... back to being politically disengaged. Hope has left and what remains is a bad high school debate where the competitors appeal to collective emotions as opposed to logic and intellect. #WhoisJohnGalt #YangGang

This was a fun interview and I got to rehash some good ol days as an early entrepreneur. Thanks @TheMissionHQ

What if we told you there was someone who came up with ideas similar to Airbnb and Uber before those companies even existed? And that he ran his versions while deployed overseas? 🤔 On #FindYourMission, @IanFolau shares how he did all that and more 👉 https://t.co/187jwpYHTQ

I've seen almost every one of these interviews now. My wife and I have never been big on politics. After the Ben Shapiro interview, we decided to join the #YangGang. The future he describes, from my professional view, is very real. #YangSurge jumped to 4th in national polls now.

So far I would like to see @AndrewYang compete with Trump for the presidency. He is definitely the smartest on the stage. Joining the #YangGang to keep him moving forward.

let's go USA! powerful header @ChristenPress . I am a converted fan of women's pro soccer. A much faster game with incredibly crisp passes and much less #flops. Very enjoyable entertainment.

This morning we talked about appreciating the non-obvious attributes of the #veteranentrepreneur as well as the mission of increasing the technological capabilities of our government/defense. @FUNDConference @JosephKopser @shaydidejesus
