A currency designed for long-term storage and investment doesn't do so well at encouraging transactions and exchange in the moment.
We have to start encouraging women to get into math and science early on in life... But to just say TechCrunch is perpetuating the problem because there aren't enough women speakers at our events is just a way to get attention and not solve the problem. So do we want to solve the problem, or do we want to just pick on me?
Moving our headquarters to Chicago is another significant step in our journey to build a better McDonald's.

It's not that I am against the rich giving money to charities. I'm all for it, and we should think of ways of encouraging more of it. But I also believe that states, rather than individuals, are ultimately a better bet for delivering a fair and just world and reconciling differing interests.
My priority will continue to be that we maintain the optimal balance to be able to invest in education and infrastructure while encouraging business growth.
I think the idea of participation trophies has gotta be a really, really great thing. Kids are under enough pressure as it is without encouraging them to be the best too early.

Michelle Obama. She is big on encouraging kids to eat healthy - which is great.
Home Star is a common sense idea that would create jobs and provide a boost to local economies, while helping families afford their energy bills.
