This makes some great points about managing talent. You can only get so far using money to motivate clear difference-makers in an organization, the rest comes down to personalities, climate, and professional challenge. Manny was worth $20mn a year when he was a happy guy.

I miss the "Parkay... Butter" campaign, and "Tastes great, less filling". You guys need to do a follow-up on advertising jingles, with embedded audio clips.

Traditionally tech has done relatively better than other industries in times of higher interest rates, and higher inflation. I wonder if that will be repeated in this round, if there's not a major innovation cycle to drive business demand (as there was in the late 90's and early part of this decade).

I think the writer makes a few really good points, but Lincoln's America was a very different country than today's: much less diverse, far more polarized, and cast in only a bit part geopolitically. So too the role of the presidency changed, and the responsibilities. America has struggled with isolationism since even before Lincoln, but today our magnificently polyglot nation, with its preeminent role on the world's stage, has no choice but to engage.
