If a business owner wants to be transparent about the changes they are making to the government, they would have to open their companies’ books to public scrutiny before opening the people's books? #Musk #CommonSense

We have long needed a standardized scorecard for everyone in Congress detailing how well they represent the will of the people in the district that sent them to Congress. This might help eliminate the Non-Player Characters. youtu.be/lckYPwQj_NM?...

I don't like zero-sum games in real life, but that is how Backgammon is played. So it's not enough to calculate the odds and make good moves; you will need good luck, and your opponent needs less of that. #Backgammon #Wisdom #ZeroSum

I first heard of the idea of “moving fast and breaking things” in software development. Success with this strategy depends on the ability to detect failure quickly and reverse the change easily. It was never intended to run the government. #elonmusk #MoveFastBreakThings #GovernResponsibly

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

#Backgammon This is one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of Backgammon. It is the kind of game where it doesn't matter who wins; we are all just happy to have been there to witness it.

#Backgammon #Wisdom Life lesson: people cannot reliably read dice. The number of times clever well intentioned players are baffled that the computer won’t let them move 5-3 only to discover that the dice actually read 5-2. Extrapolate this to every corner of your perceptions.
