@vermontgmg.bsky.social have been wondering if the true reason for the masks is to hide the affiliations of the new hires. How many came over from a paramilitary organization? How many used to work for Blackwater?

Yes humility even after they are successful.
They are self-confident not self-centered.
They feel secure in who they are and don't need the balms of power or praise, even if they get them.
They care about living a moral code that considers the needs of others.
Parenting? The right books? Heroes?

Yes. Immigrants are self-reliant risk takers and they are living examples of what US values are all about.

Why is it so many admirable people lose their marbles after they become rich?
For those who do stay sane, what cultural element saved them?

Really neat. I wish for 1) a wayto see who posts a lot; and 2) one click follow someone from inside the app. Then you could use this to discover more people to follow, on topics you care about.
