Mormons are just the sheep waiting to be sheared.

Grainger knows if you're a procurement manager at an industrial manufacturing facility, you're balancing inventory and budget while sourcing critical supplies across the operation.

You just don't get to where he is if you're bad with money.

There is also a part of me that is gravely worried that much like the criticism of the AI chiefs putting their hands up to say, hey, government, can you please regulate us? An idea from a billionaire about how to redistribute or reallocate future earnings in a more even handed way.

Um, and they disc- uh, it was discovered when the Supreme Court ruled in US versus Johnson that the 1906 Food and Drug Act does not prohibit false therapeutic claims, but only false and misleading statements about the ingredients.
