- A male president was so angry he lost that he incited a mob against the U.S. Capitol. I never want to hear again that women would be "too emotional" to be president.
- Uber Eats just spent $5.5 million plus whatever it cost to get Cardi B, Mike Meyers and Dana Carvey to tell us to "support local restaurants" while putting local restaurants out of business by charging them 30% delivery fees.
- I cut my CEO salary from $1.1M to $70k, mortgaged my house and gave up my stocks & savings so my employees could make more. My lifestyle changed dramatically but I'm happier now because it was the right thing to do. Investing in your employees is WORTH IT
- "Europeans live longer because of olive oil, red wine and nuts" Also they can go to the doctor any time they want and not go bankrupt
- Millennials hold 4.8% of all wealth. There are now 40-year-old Millennials. At the same age, Gen X had 9% of wealth. Boomers had 21% The largest generation in history did what the system told them to do and became the most-educated in history. Now they're the poorest in history
- Just to recap: a billionaire is getting free publicly-funded health care so he can stay on the job and sue to block low-income people from getting publicly-funded health care paid for by billionaires.
- Stop saying "money doesn't buy happiness." A person making $100k won't be happier getting to $110k. But lifting someone out of poverty is the most effective anti-depressant in the world.
- 6 years ago today I raised my company's min wage to $70k. Fox News called me a socialist whose employees would be on bread lines. Since then our revenue tripled, we're a Harvard Business School case study & our employees had a 10x boom in homes bought. Always invest in people.
00:00 - Trump got the whole 2020 experience Got covid, got fired, got evicted
- Guy Fieri has raised $21.5 million for unemployed restaurant workers, which means Guy Fieri has done more for unemployed restaurant workers than Congress has in the last 8 months.
- Let me get this straight: To raise your credit score and prove you're "financially responsible," you have to buy stuff on a credit card with 19% interest? But pay your $2,000 rent on time every month and your credit score doesn't change?
- Can someone explain to me how a billionaire paying $0 in taxes is "smart" but a laid-off worker getting their unemployment insurance benefits is "leeching off the system?"
- AriZona Iced Tea has stayed 99 cents for 30 years. The company is still profitable. A Coke stayed 5 cents for 70 years at one point. When companies say "we're forced to raise prices due to inflation," they're really saying "we're taking advantage of inflation to raise profits"
