    JavaScript: the one language to rule them all. I love JS because you can build servers, clients, macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android apps with it. And performance is very good.

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Well, that's just factually false. They don't control even 1% of what I read, watch or listen to, much less 90%. I don't watch TV. I get my news from family, friends and Twitter because I care about Elon and other such people.

Usually people want what they identify themselves with. That's why good people attract good people and bad people attract bad people...

    I'm at a point in my business where I need to start worrying about taxes.
