The Super Happiness Challenge!
I’ve been to quite a few pitch sessions and this was by far the most inspirations pitch session I’ve ever been to. I was brought to the point of tears many times over the course of the afternoon. To see so many people trying to do good in the world in one place was humbling and quite inspirational.
Unintended Consequences of the Fair Pay Act
California takes a huge step forward by requiring employers to be transparent about wages. Gone are the days when HR and a few high-level folks know who gets paid what. The new law, created under the guise of equal pay for women, requires employers to reveal pay ranges for open positions upon request, it also prohibits polices forbidding employees from disclosing their wages. In my view, it’s just a matter of time until all CA employers list pay ranges with employment ads.
Fear, Change and it’s Role in Racism in the US
It’s fear of change from the shrinking White demographic, that causes so much discrimination against folks who are not White. I can’t relate to a mindset that limits opportunities for people, just because you want to get ahead.

Trump is No Mystery!
Trump moves to Manhattan and tries to break in to real estate there. He found a Mentor in Roy Cohn, a protege of Joe McCarthy.
Cohn, who is known for his lack of a moral compass, trained trump to be tough and taught him to “hit back harder than they ever hit you”. Which is why he always slings shit at anyone who does not do what he wants. Never admit failure, claim it as a victory.
This is the very simple pattern that trump will use every time.
- Do whatever he wants
- If anyone objects, accuse them of something worse and don’t let up
- If you do fail, claim it as a victory
Trump does not change.
