We *actually* build great, real products that people love and make their lives and the world better. That is so profound. It is an honest day's work that you can feel in your heart. Whatever else is going on in this messed-up world, know that at least what you are doing is pure goodness and that I have infinitely more respect and admiration for you than the richest person on Wall St.
