Happy Sunday! Another day gone by, another day the government has gotten fatter and taken more freedom away from the people. I came across this fitting quote from renowned economist Milton Friedman - "Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program.” If you know me, you know I'm a fan of limited government. Government is not the source of our rights. Their job is to protect them but as you can see they're doing a crap job of that.

Alrighty, on to the Stir!

The World of COVID Vaccine Mandates

President Biden is asking the U.S. Department of Labor to issue a rule that requires employers with more than 100 employees to mandate vaccines or require weekly testing "This requirement will impact over 80 million workers in private sector businesses with 100+ employees," the Occupational Safety and Health Administration said in a statement.

This is wrong and Biden doesn't have the constitutional power to do this. But alas, loads of people these days don't care about that. They'll just let the government do whatever they want.

This sums how I feel about it:

Pro-vax, anti-mandate. It's OK to feel deep gratitude towards our advanced civilization that can produce useful vaccines. It's also OK to protect that civilization against totalitarians who try to seize ever more power in the name of public health.

The World of Advice

Here's some helpful life advice:

"If someone insults you during a meeting, pretend like you didn't hear them the first time. Politely ask them to repeat themselves. They'll either repeat the insult and look rude or realize their mistake and apologize."

“e.g.” and “i.e.” are not the same e.g. = for example i.e. = in other words

The wealth-building playbook:

-Build cash flow

-Increase cash flow every month

-Invest in cash-flowing assets

-Repeat until you replace your active income with passive income

You've got to make money and then put that money to work for you. How do you do that? You buy assets. What's an asset? Here's some examples: real estate, bitcoin, crypto, owning businesses, stocks, and so on. An asset is something that makes you more money than you put in. The opposite of that is liabilities (things that cost you money and depreciate over time). An example of a liability would be a car. You buy it and drive it off the lot and it immediately loses it's value. Your car doesn't make you more money than you had before you bought it. Focus more on using your money to buy assets.
