Today I took a Freedom Trail tour in Boston and learned a lot. Read on to brush up on some history!
William Blackstone signed up for an expedition to come from England to North America in the mid-1620s. He sets up a farm in what is now Boston.
The king of England and the church were not getting along in 1630, so people came over because they wanted a more strict church (puritans) and landed in Charleston, which is marshland.
Here’s something I don’t understand. If I had $10 million invested with a 4% return, I would have $400,000 in interest every year. Even with my mortgage and taxes and a new car every year, I could still buy all the books, take incredible care of my pets, and travel the world. 1/
This amount would also be more than enough to completely retire and open my animal sanctuary which would be self-sustaining (I have it all planned out). And of course this would be without even touching the principal balance. 2/
Don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely no intent of ever having this kind of money. But here’s what I don’t understand - why in the world are we giving all these tax breaks to people with millions and millions of dollars. There are 759 BILLIONAIRES in the U.S. alone! 3/
Many of you have reached out, asking me what company I used to plan my trips. I actually plan the vast majority entirely myself. So since so many of you seem curious, here’s how I do it: 1/
Disclaimer 1: For certain polar locations I have booked cruises through Quark Expeditions. These include my trip to Antarctica, as well as upcoming trips to Greenland and Svalbard. I particularly like this company due to their focus on environmental protection and education. 2/
Disclaimer 2: I did use a travel agency for my most recent trip to Africa, because it is very difficult to book, safari and transfers there without someone with expert knowledge of the area. 3/
My final #SCCM2023 tweetucation session for today is “Late-Breaking Studies Affecting Patient Outcomes”!
First we have “Continued Enteral Nutrition Until Extubation Compared to Fasting Prior to Extubation in the Intensive Care Unit: A Clustered Randomized Trial” with Stephan Ehrmann (@stephanehrmann)! #SCCM2023
Nearly all ICUs impose some form of fasting before extubation, but this time seems to be decreasing. #SCCM2023
