Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine.
Sirens blaring.
This is everyday for every Ukrainian.
I feel like such an asshole for minimizing the struggle of Ukrainians for the last 5 years. I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say.
There are people in Ukraine who have to run to a bomb shelter everyday and some of us had the audacity to say Russia wasn’t wrong because we believed the lie that Ukraine is a country full of Nazi sympathizers.
We have been so propagandized by Russia and we don’t even realize it.
Air sirens could very well be the future of America if we don’t start demanding our lawmakers crack down on communism and multipolarity.
We won’t have Trump forever and the axis of evil is moving fast.
Would be a shame if this guy became famous on 𝕏 for kicking out Scott Presler from the South Dakota State Convention: “Get the hell outta here”
“I’m the assh*le saying you can’t come in”
JOHN THUNE IS VERY WORRIED
Kevin O'Leary says Steve Jobs was one of the brutal guys in business.
O'Leary was selling educational software to Apple in the late 80s. The brand manager at Apple wanted a $12 million research budget to survey teachers on what updates they wanted.
Jobs exploded on her: "They don't know what they want until I tell them what they want."
O'Leary pushed back. Called him an asshole. Said she had a point and maybe they should listen to the market.
Jobs turned to him: "Is Apple not your number one OEM? Are you not making more money with us at higher margins than any other channel you have? Shut up and go do the work."
It sounds like arrogance. But Jobs was right about the outcome every single time. He was right about the Mac. Right about iPod. Right about iPhone. Right about every product people said nobody asked for.
The lesson O'Leary took away:
The truly great product people don't survey the market. They understand something about human desire that the market hasn't articulated yet. And they execute on that vision relentlessly.
That's a moat no competitor has been able to replicate in 40 years of trying.
40 years ago today Cher made her first appearance on ‘Late Night with David Letterman’.
Cher told David she declined to go on the show multiple times, because she thought he was an asshole.
