Hi!
Attention has turned to President Biden’s stimulus package following his inauguration this week. Here is the latest:
Silicon Valley vs. Texas
From Brett Alder:
Many people, myself included, have moved from California to Austin due to the hype and the perception that California and Austin are reasonably comparable in their lifestyles. My family and I found this to be far from the case.
What California and Austin have in common is that they are both very expensive. Austin is not cheap. Let the words flow. Austin is not cheap; it’s actually quite expensive.
We moved from San Diego in 2015 (owning a 2,000 square foot one-third acre home) in search of a lifestyle boost. If you are looking for good schools, the Southwest and Northwest areas of Austin are the main options. The only caveat is that NW Austin (Travis County) is one of the most expensive real estate in Texas.

From Kate Taylor:
As President Donald Trump the allies of the company abandoned him in the dying days of his administration, one man remained standing: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
“I’m not backing down on these machines that stole our election,” Lindell told Insider on Wednesday, referring to baseless claims that rigged voting machines helped President Joe Biden steal the 2020 race.
“I never change my mind about something like this. I’m not going, “Oh, please don’t boycott me. Please don’t, ”Lindell added, turning her voice into a whiny and pitiful tone.
“It’s not me,” Lindell added, reverting to his typical force cadence that often borders on screaming. “If everyone did this, then anyone who wants to control the narrative can do whatever they want and destroy businesses.”

It’s time to meet a whole new White House.
Out: Mark Meadows, Hope Hicks, Dan Scavino and a myriad of bold names who have helped President Donald Trump run the country for the past four years.
In: Ron Klain, John Kerry, Jennifer Psaki and a who’s who of seasoned Democratic power brokers joining President-elect Joe Biden in his arduous quest to unite a leading country.
Biden has already announced more than 200 White House hires, and that was before he even took office. Many more people are expected to join soon a squad that is set to ultimately rival Trump’s 400-plus presidential aides employee in mid-2020.
To help navigate the transition, Insider has compiled a comprehensive roster of staff who will keep Biden’s White House running.
