1/ Some people on the left have this magical thinking problem when it comes to why our ideas don't often carry the day within the Dem Party. We act like it's all "big Pharma money" etc. And yes, that money is corrupting. But it's not magic...

2/ If a Rep knew the majority of THEIR constituents (not Dem voters from other parts of the country but THEIR constituents) supported more left policies *and would actually show up & vote against them if they didn't vote for those policies* they would vote for them, obviously.

3/ A major goal of a Rep is to keep being one, so no one would go against the wishes of the majority of their constituents just to get contributions, if that would cost them the job. But it WON'T. Either bc the folks who could punish them don't bother to vote, or, more likely...

4/ bc most voters are savvy enough to care about more than one issue, so even if a Rep doesn't fight for M4A, they might be good on other things voters care about and much better than the GOP alternative. Now, if these are progressive districts where the D is sure to win..

5/ ...it's different. THERE it makes sense to push hard for those Reps to do the left thing. But that means running good candidates in primaries, so those Reps feel the heat. Twitter shaming them or forcing floor votes to "expose" people means nothing w/o a viable alternative...

🧵: The 10 Metrics for SaaS Startups (an Operator's Guide)

Focusing on the wrong things can kill your startup.

Based on founding and scaling @edenworkplace, here are the metrics that matter most:

Metric 1: ARR (Annualized Recurring Revenue)

You will need to know this number each day, so you'll focus on Contracted ARR in your CRM tool (as opposed to accounting ARR).

Big ARR milestones are $100K (Signal), $1 million (PMF), $10 million (Growth), $100 million (IPO Scale)

Metric 2: ARR Growth

Once you get past the Signal stage, your ARR growth is the primary determinant of future success (and valuation).

Strong annual growth rate from Signal to PMF is 4x+ and from PMF to Growth is 2.5x+.

@edenofficemagic grew 11x between Signal and PMF stages.

Metric 3: ACV (Average Customer Value)

ACV often starts low for a SaaS company (as your product is not featureful enough for large enterprises) and grows as the company moves upmarket.

ACV is calculated by taking total revenue and dividing it by your number of customer logos.

Metric 4: ACV Growth

Most SaaS companies will make ACV growth a focus.

It is fair to increase revenue per customer as you add more value to users in new features, integrations, and products.

@edenofficemagic grew ACV 2.3x last year, mostly through cross-selling new products.

Senate Democrats just killed the push today for $2000 checks.

A few Senators--namely Sanders and Markey--wanted to hold up the NDAA as leverage to push for a vote on $2000.

Democratic leadership rejected this--including Vice President elect Harris.

Let’s be real: McConnell is the one at fault for refusing to put a vote for the $2000 on the floor in the first place and being fifty shades of hypocritical along the way.

But Democratic leadership has, once again, folded to Republicans without attempting to fight for us.

If Democratic leadership is actually serious about getting $2000 checks to people, they would do one of two things:

a.) Find another leverage against McConnell and Senate Republicans

b.) Take McConnells offer on the combined bill of $2000 checks and Trump wishlist items

McConnell has made it clear today that he is not interested in putting a vote for $2000 checks on the floor unless it’s through his bill—which includes repealing Section 230 and putting together a committee to study “election fraud” in the 2020 election.

The argument that Dem leadership will make is that getting this NDAA through is vital, and can't be held up as leverage.

This is precisely why Sanders & Markey wanted to hold it up as leverage.

Dem leadership better have a Plan B if they are serious about helping people.

□■□■ Islamic Banking □■□■
In 1983, the first Islamic Bank (the Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad) was established in Malaysia through the introduction of the Islamic Banking Act. They are not recognised by a number of non-Islamic nations, including India.

In late 2008, a committee on Financial Sector Reforms, headed by former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan, had stressed on the need for a closer look at the issue of interest-free banking in the country and supported Islamic Banking system in India.

The RBI had in February, 2016 sent a copy of the IDG report to the finance ministry and recommended an "Islamic window" in conventional banks for gradual introduction of Sharia-compliant banking.

As per report:-
"In our considered opinion, given the complexities of Islamic finance and various regulatory and supervisory challenges involved in the matter and also due to the fact that Indian banks have no experience in this field, Islamic banking may be introduced in India.

"Initially, a few simple products which are similar to conventional banking products may be considered for introduction through Islamic window of the conventional banks after necessary notification by the government," it had said in a letter to the ministry.

The Easy Money Has Been Made in Banks
* The setup into the current reporting period is poor

* With bank stocks elevated, in-line to slightly lower reports, relative to

consensus expectations, could modestly disappoint traders and investors - particularly if my market concerns pan out

* Consider hedging bank stocks or writing calls against positions now

There was near a universal view that bank stocks were unattractive in March-April last

year.

When the ($XLF) was about $21, and I was buying, it was over $31.50 in pre-market trading, one analyst on our site said it was patently foolish to expect a rally in the sector. As to leading the market it was next to unimaginable to that observer.

A well-known

commentator on CNBC said banks were uninvestable because of some vague theory and narrative that they have permanently lost their competitive advantage. (He is now long!)

Others have just wobbled back and forth without any conviction.

I spent months in my Diary, in the media

and in speeches, outlining the merits - both short and long term - of the banking industry and stocks. I am sure, as the stocks traded near their lows, many were fed up with my own theories on the banking industry's attraction.

The rest is history.

Of late, bank stocks have

@BORIS_WATCH @Joe_Mayes Non-tariff barriers are other conditions/criteria which, even though are not tariffs, may end-up having a tariff-like effect, that is an increase of costs and, thus, of the price paid by the buyer (e.g. a theoretical example, a requirement that all beer exported to Belgium) 1/

@Joe_Mayes 2/ In the theoretical example, a beer exporter would be forced to change his supplier of bottles or to invest in a separate bottling line for its production deemed for export to Belgium. Hence, the extra costs that will have to be covered (usually by the end-customer).

@Joe_Mayes 3/ Even though it might seem ridiculous, there are many real examples of such „disguised restrictions”. Under the EU Law they are prohibited in the relations between the EU member states because they hamper the free movement of goods.

@Joe_Mayes 4/ Coming back to the confusion created by the foggy official communication, this comes probably from the terminology used (sometimes incorrectly), insufficiently explained and superimposed on the promises made in 2016 (we will have the same conditions like we were in the SM etc)

@Joe_Mayes 5/ So, in international trade, charging import/export tariffs is the norm. There are also quotas and contingents (e.g. the quantities of a given product the exporters from country A are allowed to export to country). The quotas are also used by the EU.

I support Mexican travel vouchers as a stimulus package, usable in the country of Mexico by receipt.

$1,000 travel vouchers to every family now

Must spend the money in Mexico with receipt

Cabo San Lucas, Cancun anybody?

Got to preserve our go to North American spots!

Or you can call these sanctions on the GOP, for dangerous Latino rhetoric the last 5 years.

This could also be the cultural learning experience that the GOP truly is calling for regarding their calls of unity ;)

GOP, put your money where your mouth is and give us $1,000 stimulus packages to Mexico!! If you truly want, unity.

Vouchers accepted in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican republic, Jamaica, and Hawaii.

Florida travel ban, NOW

Question of the day: How would one model how much money was spent trying to convince conservatives to vote for the Democratic party, and what would happen if more of it had been spent on Black and Latina organizers?

I'll be upfront: I'm not qualified to do this work. But I'd like to know if anyone is doing it or what the process of inquiry would be. Here's why....

I was on a private panel with a credentialed white political scientist. He said that "the only way" to win the elex and reclaim democracy was to persuade white conservatives to abandon Donald Trump.

I told him I rejected that out of hand because it stripped me of all agency as a Black woman, and I could never wait for anyone to save me.

A lot of money went into persuading white conservatives that doesn't seem to have moved the needle. At the same time, in other private conversations (these are off the record panels of various types), Black/Latina organizers talked about Texas.

As part of the BC Basic Income project, my team and I were tasked with trying to understand the system of income and social supports available to BC residents. We developed these visualizations which have proven very popular

Pair these with our paper that goes through a detailed description of the system of income and social supports in BC here

TLDNR? There are 194 programs offered by the various governments that are available to support BCers in various stages of life and crises. The federal government offers more supports in terms of money, the province more in terms of basic services.

While complexity has disadvantages, a big advantage is that the multiple points of entry actually means that there are multiple ways a person can be assessed for assistance for all these programs better capturing those that fall through cracks in other programs.

Given that the fed tends to offer cash programs and BC tends to offer basic services and we were asked if BC should offer a basic income, naturally this begs the tradeoff question then should BC replace its services with income supports. Our answer was unequivocally no.

DEC 8, 2020: a foreign account made a simultaneous transfer of 28.15 bitcoins — worth $500,000+ at the time — to 22 different virtual wallets, most belonging to prominent right-wing orgs & personalities

“I’d be stunned if both nation-state adversaries & terrorist orgs weren’t figuring out how to funnel money to these guys..Many of them use fundraising sites..that are virtually unmonitored & unmonitorable. If they weren’t doing it, they’d be incompetent.” fmr FBI official

cryptocurrency researchers believe they know who made the transfer, and suspect it was intended to bolster those far-right causes.

While the motivation is difficult to prove, the transfer came just a month before the violent riot in the Capitol, which took place after Trump invited supporters to “walk down Pennsylvania Avenue” and “take back our country.”

Right-wing figures and websites, including VDARE, the Daily Stormer and Nick Fuentes, received generous donations from a bitcoin account linked to a French cryptocurrency exchange, according to research done by software company Chainalysis

Looks like an interesting house, right?
And hey, it’s reasonably priced. $157K, on 2/3rds of an acre.
High speed cable broadband should be available.
Lots of light, parking, deck...

Not a murder house, not even a little!

Uh... maybe... wait...
That’s an interesting trim choice.
Door’s a little dated but not too bad.

Oh, shit.

More. Shag.
In. The. Kitchen.
WHY?
Have you never cooked??

Here are the golden nuggets🧵

The Orangutan Effect

"If you sit down with an orangutan and carefully explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a puzzled primate, but will exit thinking more clearly yourself."

Teaching others actually teaches yourself.

The Faulty Premise Framework

“A horse that can count to ten is a remarkable horse - not a remarkable mathematician.”

Beware your comparison set.

Are you judging crappy relative performance or absolute results?

Pick the Right Business Boat

The business boat you get into is more important than how effectively you row.

“When a brilliant management team tackles a business with a reputation for poor fundamental economics, the reputation of the business usually stays intact.”

A Rising Tide Doesn't Lift All Bonuses

"Good performance should be rewarded whether Berkshire stock rises or falls.
Average performance should earn no special rewards even if our stock soars."

Judge for individual performance or risk free riding on group success.
