Not in those terms, but an autobiography is coming, and bits and pieces are being explained. I expect about 10 people to buy the book, as all of the socialists will want it for fre…

"financial incentives" This is the most ignorant response I've seen yet. We don't expect monetary gain from publishing a book. We expect our costs to be covered. This is about the …

Which dot com was that?

Activist investors are a problem. Most recent activist investors have been centered around climate and DEI. Exxon had activist investors try to get on the board. There was a lawsui…
