My life's mission summed up well: "At critical moments in time, you can raise the aspirations of other people significantly, especially when they are relatively young, simply by suggesting they do something better or more ambitious than what they might have in mind."

So let me get this straight. A state has the right to restrict abortions, but doesn’t have the right to restrict firearms? Is that what we have now in these “United” States?

An extremist majority appointed by presidents who lost the popular vote telling states that they can’t protect the right to vote, the right to choose, the climate or kids from gun violence. Not exactly conservative.

"Let’s be clear — what you are doing is not about climate action or responding to an emergency. It never was. This is communication tactics disguised as politics." Yesterday I adressed the #AustrianWorldSummit along with Angela Merkel, António Guterres, Alok Sharma and others.

Economics & Freedom are inseparable. Institutions peek into & manage the fate of your life & it gets harder to see how these powers operate & how decisions are made that affect us. A few books shed light. The incentive to understand economics is the desire to be free. 🧵 1/46

As we see a swell in reporting on #wildfires in California, perhaps time to look at the bigger picture. Scale of fires in the Amazon, Cerrado & Pantenal in S America & also Congo Basin in Africa, should give people pause for thought ? This is a global issue #ClimateEmergency

I saw a post on LinkedIn that recommended adding an emoji at the beginning of your name because you could see who was using some sort of automation tool to send out connection requests. I can now confirm it works.
