Discuss acquisition entrepreneurship as a Fastlane launch point...
HOT! CHATI follow her as well. I think the advice of buying an established company instead of building from scratch is good, but you're right - you still need to know how to run the business. I think her content is helpful just to get ideas for inspiration and think more creatively. For a lot of that...- jdm667

Overemployed: The antithesis of antiwork?
OFF-TOPICI am vaguely aware that some people do this, but I did not know there was an official movement. Good for them - as long as the work gets done well. Would outsourcing part/all of your job (wage arbitrage) be considered a part if this movement?- jdm667

I've Read The Great Rat-Race Escape!
GOLD! HOT!I read the Great Rat Race Escape just after it came out, but I forgot to post here. I think I read it within a few days and I liked the Principles/Lessons that were included. The story also got you emotionally invested in the young couple and their dream. For the cost of a $20 book, you could...- jdm667

Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)
HOT! CRYPTO CHATI agree. I think it would take a lot for the federal government to follow suit, though. Then they would lose control of their printing press! They want to make their own state-controlled CBDC (central bank digital currency) instead. That way, they can take the desired inflation rate right...- jdm667

Commandment of Control: Violations to Learn From...
NOTABLE! EXECUTIONI can only imagine that this company brought FB lots of ad revenue (that they wouldn't have had otherwise). You would think FB would try to work with that company and transition to something that worked for both - but no. Just a unilateral "see ya later". I suspect FB has enough money to blow...- jdm667

Commandment of Control: Violations to Learn From...
NOTABLE! EXECUTIONI would love to see every bank on the planet close all of Facebook's bank accounts, leaving them unable to function. When asked why, the banks should say "we want to be taken more seriously". It would be poetic justice.- jdm667

HOT! CHATNot only was the U.S. government kind enough to print enough money to cause 7.5% inflation, but they also raised the income limits on the federal income tax brackets for this year! Look at how generous they were: 10%: 9,950 (up from 9,875 in 2020) 12%: 40,525 (up from 40,125 in 2020 22%: 86,375...- jdm667
