That $100K "gamble" the company placed on the (my) success on a product/project has already paid off and I have a chance to double down on their bet tomorrow.

"We are here. It's built. Now, are you serious about this? If so, here's how I'll/we'll take us to the next level.

Here is what I need. "

Gawd I hate nepotism, coat tailing, "dynasties" and good old fashion corruption.

This is bad for NYC.

Contrast this with my low expectations for #Biden and how he was worse than even that.

Men better get used to seeing women at the podium. There time has come.
