We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.

Let’s cheer because the market is up today, and celebrate the lunatic that set the house on fire for finally allowing the fire dept to use water. The market is still way down, our allies aren’t, forget the environment, civil rights is headed to the 1950s. Yay! #trump #politics #GOP #economy

I did my personal banking with Chase for 35+ years. Chase pays almost NO interest on savings (0.01%) or checking. Aside from a branch network, they offer almost nothing special. Don’t be like me, if you’re with them or any bank paying no interest, consider switching. #finance #bank #money #retire
