I don't speak Spanish and there don't appear to be any subtitles yet. The video is several hours long... but I'd still like to ask, anyone have a bit of a summary of what exactly happened?

For me it's the inventors locked away somewhere. There's a lot of glory in being a big tech CEO, making the billions, etc. I'm not really very interested in that: I'm more interested in the stories of building important

I hear you. It's tough out there, getting tougher all the time. Fingers crossed that the rate-racking the fed is doing helps slow it down a bit. I talk to my family about it all the time -- we're very lucky where we're at. We
