🚨WHAT THE HELL?!!! Two Starbucks employees who FOUGHT OFF ARMED ROBBERS AND HELD THEM FOR THE POLICE... ...have been FIRED for "violating company policy" because they did not just comply. They risked their lives to defend the store and customers... and Starbucks FIRED THEM for it. This happened at a St. Louis Starbucks where 2 masked men walked in, pointed a gun, and demanded money. Everyone hit the floor and one robber shoved a female employee to the ground. A worker named Michael Harris tried to just give them the cash to make them leave. They pistol-whipped him in the back of the head. Then his coworker Devin Jones-Ransom made a split-second decision and TACKLED the gunman into the drive-thru window. The weapon broke... and they realized it was fake. They subdued the robber and held him for police. Both robbers were convicted and they're sitting in prison right now BECAUSE of these two young men. And a few weeks later, after the attention died down and Starbucks FIRED BOTH OF THEM. The reason? They "violated company policy" by not just complying to being robbed. Just so we are clear... a man gets a gun smashed into his skull, fears for his life, fights back, helps put two armed robbers in prison... ...and Starbucks FIRES HIM FOR IT?!!!! WHAT KIND OF CRAP IS THIS?!!!!!!

WNBA player Sophie Cunningham calls out WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert by name, rips the league for not protecting her teammate, Caitlin Clark. "This type of sh*t happens every single game to her, and the league and the refs do absolutely nothing about it." Cunningham and co-host West Wilson also discussed the possibility that Engelbert is jealous of Clark, which may be why Clark was snubbed from the WNBA 30th Anniversary Poster.

Gelje Sherpa, the man who was guiding a private client up Mt. Everest when he saw someone in distress near the summit. He went up, rolled him up in a sleeping mattress and gave him oxygen. He then strapped the man to his back and trekked 6 hours to safety

We are PRIVATE citizens, the government should know very little if anything about us at all. They are PUBLIC officials, we should know damn near everything about what they are doing. The cameras are pointed the wrong way.

Saw this on FB: 🔥 🔥 On day 1 of my high school history class, our teacher got up and said: “You are 15 or 16 years old. 200 years ago, people your age were married, planted crops, had children and built a cabin before winter. You can do your homework. The bar is set embarrassingly low. You are not dealing with regional famine or plague. You do not have to save your family from marauders or go into battle to destroy your enemies. You just have to sit down and learn from someone who cares about you in a safe air-conditioned room. You have no excuses.” This is the kind of teachers we need.

“If you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive through it” ~German World Cup fan

When I watched the Ecuador coach celebrate so passionately after his team's victory over Germany yesterday, I was reminded of a profound truth often associated with Napoleon Hill: "The most powerful mastermind alliance a man will ever form is in his marriage. A woman, rightly chosen, aligned in vision, and honored in spirit, can make a man unbreakable. But a woman wrongly chosen or unaligned in purpose will drain him of vision, strip him of confidence, and sentence him to spiritual poverty. Many men fall not because of failure in business, but because of conflict in the home. They rise with vision only to have it mocked. They speak with clarity only to have it questioned. They act with courage only to be met with resistance. This is not partnership. This is war. And a man at war with his household cannot build peace outside of it. But when a woman supports a man's purpose, when she believes in his destiny, when she reflects his greatness before the world sees it, that woman becomes the mastermind in motion. Her energy fuels him. Her intuition sharpens him. Her peace steadies him. Her presence becomes a sanctuary. And the man with that kind of partner is dangerous to every limitation. You must choose this alliance with wisdom. And if you are already in one, you must train it, not ignore it. Share your aim. Speak your plan. Invite her insight. Draw strength from her spirit. This is not weakness. This is wisdom. This is law."

jeff bezos on why playing the long game beats everyone: 1. most things we built took five to seven years before they made the company a single dollar. customers got value right away. but shareholders had to wait years. that gap is exactly where almost everyone gives up. 2. when you hit a problem, never accept either/or thinking. don't choose between two good options invent a way to get both. you can invent your way out of any box if you actually believe you can. 3. listen to customers obsessively. ignore them and you'll go astray. but they won't tell you everything. it's not their job to invent for themselves. you have to invent on their behalf. 4. if you think long-term, you have to be willing to be misunderstood. anything new and disruptive looks wrong in the early innings. we got called amazon.toast and a lot of things i can't repeat here. that's just the toll. 5. when people criticize us we ask one thing: do we actually think we're right? if yes, we keep going. if we think they have a point, we fix it fast. but we never cave just because the pressure wants a short-term answer. 6. thinking in five and seven year frames is far rarer than you'd guess. that's the whole reason it works. while everyone else chases the next quarter, you're quietly building something they can't touch.

Imagine being forced to give someone 6.2% of your paycheck, every single check, every month, for 30 to 50 years of your life. And that person said, "Don't worry, I'm holding this for you and will pay it back to you on a monthly basis, when you retire at 65." And then they said, "Nah, just kidding. I meant when you retire at 67. And at that time, I'll only give you 70% of what you paid me." And then they said, "Oops, I spent all your money. You're out of luck." That's the U.S. government.

Elon Musk:”You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. And what does it get spent on? A bunch of stuff you don’t even agree with. That’s why we need to reduce the size of government, spend less money and let the people keep a lot more of their hard-earned money.”

if @elonmusk paid 100% of his net worth ($1.4 trillion) as a tax it would only cover federal government spending for 77 days. this isn’t a tax problem…

If Elon Musk paid my ultra-millionaire wealth tax, we could pay for child care for all three and four year olds in America.

People have no idea what's coming with the next generation of kids who are AI native. My youngest teen just started an internship. On the first day he was given a "challenging" two weeks worth of work with very specific objectives, timelines, etc. By 10am the next morning he was done the entire list and asking for more work. They didn't think he could possibly be done. How? He used AI to help (with their permission). And he KNOW how to use AI (he's not using it like a google search bar). These AI native kids are gonna run laps around 25-40 year olds that are not using AI.

One of the most laughable things on the internet is all the people in our government who have amassed a 39 trillion dollar debt telling us that if they could just tax Elon’s wealth, they could fix everything they have broken. 😂🤡

Kobe Bryant once said: “Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”

Jay Shetty said something that really hit me: Weak people focus on other people’s weaknesses. Strong people focus on their strengths. Weak people gossip to feel better. Strong people learn from others’ mistakes. Weak people envy those ahead of them. Strong people study them. The switch is simple: envy → study. Your focus determines everything. You can waste energy tearing others down or use it to lift yourself up. The choice is always yours.

These are so true and great based on what I see grows family office level wealth
