    True story: Harvard Business School rejected me in '91. When I got the news, I checked to see if they'd cashed my $100 application fee check. They hadn't, so I did a "stop payment". When they called, trying to collect, I suggested they could learn a business lesson from this. 😂

    (And I thank HBS now for that rejection that ended up helping me to say "yes" to Stanford GSB.)

    And to those voicing worries about my actions, I can assure that everything turned out fine. LOL.

    I did M.I.T. undergrad and worked there after. The Treasurer of M.I.T. tried to convince me to go to Sloan, but I was not (yet) ready to even consider business school.

    Related: A bunch of Republicans will turn out to vote AGAINST him. (Wives who disagree on abortion laws, supporters of Nikki Haley, veterans and other patriots deeply offended by January 6...)

    I'm sure this will be your best work since Al Capone's safe.

    Finally getting around to reading "Sapiens" by @harari_yuval. Only 50 pages in and am blown away. Thanks to @pmarca for spotlighting this great work.

    Have you seen this? (For a slightly earlier milestone.) At an historic watering hole in Silicon Valley...

    Also, the ultimate penalty is not impeachment, it is death.
