Entrepreneurship stories are inspiring in their own way. To me, these stories are even more inspiring when you realize that these entrepreneurs, started with nothing. It’s not uncommon to hear about entrepreneurs who used the wealth they made from a previous endeavour to build a thriving new start-up, or about seasoned business owners who took over a decades-old franchise and transformed it into something new.
The Jasiri series aims to talk about who started their journey with no capital, no funding, and sometimes no education or experience, yet despite the odds, they were still able to build massive successes. One such example is the soft-spoken James Miller.

What explains the bizarre sudden disappearance over the last two years of virtually
all the white students from the official demographic accounts of the San Francisco Bay Area’s upscale and liberal (Biden won 78% of the vote in the county) San Mateo Union High School District and their presumptive transubstantiation into Two or More Race students?
For instance, here are demographic shares of students at Aragon HS in San Mateo: In 2019, the white students (blue) suddenly disappeared, statistically speaking, and, apparently, reincarnated as Two or More Races students (orange):

iSteve commenter points out that this may be related to the Anti-Defamation League’s recent campaign to tar San Mateo (hometown of Tom Brady) as a hotbed of anti-Semitism and racism and hate:
Gang dispute? Drug debt? The four-year-old moved on his girl?
As with Cannon Hinnant, blind racial rage is a plausible explanation.
That s certainly the place everyone would go if the races were reversed.
White opposition to hate crimes stems from the fact that they re seen as charged exclusively against whites.
But if you re going to take hate crimes seriously as a category, you d have to take a much closer look at cross-racial murders in which there is simply no other motive. That s because less-articulate sorts aren t going to enunciate their racial animus they re just going to kill.
It also wouldn t be too difficult for a journalist to look into how many motiveless cross-racial murders happen, and what the breakdown on races is.

I have been enthusiastically promoting Nicholas Wade s long article on the origins of the COVID virus.
Wade compares the two common theories: (a) the wet market theory, that the virus jumped from bats, or from bats via some intermediate host, to humans at a live-animal market in Wuhan, China, and (b) the lab escape theory, that the virus originated in a lab, also in Wuhan, doing research into viruses.
Wade allows that we can t say dispositively which theory is correct; but by a judicious and thoroughly-researched sifting of the facts we
do know, he leaves his reader thinking that the lab escape theory is the more probable one.
