Bad Company: Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream Private Equity and the Death of the American Dream

I'm very excited that BAD COMPANY entered its third printing this week! You'd better buy it now before you're relegated to a copy from the fourth printing...

Welcome to MN!

Whether you dream of being an entrepreneur or you’re in the game, people around you are going to influence you. Set yourself up with people that you know will believe in you or send me a message for coaching. You’ve got this! #entrepreneur #selflove

For me, showing up at the gym is the physical manifestation of the work I’ve done on myself. I love heavy lifting so much. #selflove #mentalhealth

Savoring this sweet moment with my dahlias and my cat 🥹. I’ve really enjoyed the garden this year. #dahlia

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

an orange and white cat looks proud; presidential

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

"Flowers are like us .. They’re temporary, they’re beautiful. You keep planting seeds, they keep growing..."

It fascinates me that giving to charity is considered ‘noble and praiseworthy’…

But, creating an economic system that works for EVERYONE and doesn't require charity, is considered socialist and evil.

Mind-boggling. 😎✨

Duluth, MN does not start until 4! Gorgeous day for a protest!

Dahlia

This dahlia, started from seed in November, is finally seeing some time outside. Planting in a few short weeks! Zone 5a. #dahlia

Prettty!

Yes! Those are the hardest ones to keep alive!

Absolutely. It’s fantastic for the environment to replace grass with food. I’m expanding my garden and flower garden.

@westmoreland-pops.bsky.social Not sure if you’re in this thread yet. Adding.

Yes! I love that idea! I want some magical spaces for my little one and the neighborhood kiddos. 💕

Love the meandering trail. I am just building rows but I’d love to curve some.

So so pretty

Lovely! Is this Tartan?

Magical!

Yes!!! We’re almost there!

In February, the number of Americans planning a vacation in the next six months was the lowest in 15 years, excluding the pandemic when travel was pretty much obsolete, according to a survey conducted by the Conference Board. #EconSky Source: fortune.com/2025/03/05/l...

X post by Timothy Snyder (@TimothyD ...), posted 6 hours ago. The post reads, "The people Attorney General Bondi is calling 'terrorists' have had no trial and no chance to defend them. We do not know they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril."

I know this first hand. When I was a child, my entire community was branded as spies and sabateurs, justifying our internment inside barbed wire camps for years without due process, trial or charge.

I just signed the first bill of the year: lowering costs for small grain buyers.
 
Prosperity for our ag community is not a partisan issue. I’m glad to see legislators come together in a bipartisan way to get this done.

Crying in Zone 5 😆. Beautiful! I can’t even get all my tubers shipped here yet.

Thank you!!! Great question - 3.5 months on this baby. The open centered lil sweeties opened after 2-2.5 months!

Dahlia flower gardening

This anemone dahlia seedling just bloomed indoors! This is my first closed-center seedling. Such a gorgeous color! #bloomscrolling #gardening #dahlia

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.

Look at these magnificent fluffles! Did you hybridize these? 💕

Oh that’s so good to know about yarrow! I’m companion planting a bunch of salvia I started from seed. I should add more yarrow outside of my native garden area.
