The American Dream Is Broken. This $50 Million Bet Could Help Rebuild It. - Denver Frederick

There are few issues more urgent—or more misunderstood—than poverty in America. And even fewer solutions as bold as simply giving people cash. Jeff Atwood, the tech entrepreneur behind Stack Overflow, and his partner Betsy Burton, a trained scientist with a deep commitment to equity, are working to change that. Together, they’ve launched a $50 million guaranteed minimum income initiative across some of the poorest rural counties in the country—places that mirror their own family roots. In this episode, Jeff and Betsy share a story that is as personal as it is political. From the hills of West Virginia to their home in Alameda, California, they speak candidly about wealth, dignity, hope, and the American Dream. We’ll explore how their own childhoods and their children have shaped their philanthropy, how storytelling is challenging tired myths about the poor, and why 2025 is the moment to rewrite the social contract in America. This is not your typical conversation about poverty—and it’s not your typical couple trying to solve it. Here is Jeff Atwood and Betsy Burton on The Business of Giving

Donald Trump Has Run Into Money Problems Due To The Cost Of His Rallies - The List

Alleged billionaire Donald Trump is facing criticism from a multitude of cities because he hasn't been paying the bills for all of his pricey political rallies.

The List

Money triggers your feeling of lack within yourself. This can look like abandonment, powerlessness, not good enough, and so on. It can look like all the wounds.

It triggers your wound because it creates a fear of what happens if you don't have it or there is not enough of it. Well guess what? That's a reflection of that wound you have within yourself that says the same thing.

When you heal the wound within yourself, then the money is just money. It stops having control over you because it's no longer triggering the wound. That allows some space so that you can deal with the money issues more rationally and logically. It takes the emotion out of money.

Because money triggers the wound and the feeling of lack within you, when you try to work with other people on money issues, your wounds are at the surface. Guess what that does to your interaction with that other person? It makes it wonky because it triggers all the behaviors you have to protect the wound you carry. When you try to deal with money issues using wounded coping mechanisms, you will struggle to handle the issues.

Money doesn't solve the issue. It covers it up. The issue is whatever the wound is you carry around. That wound doesn't have a whole lot to do with money, but money certainly triggers the wound.

You get to make the choice of how to handle that. You may or may not be able to fix your outside circumstances but you can definitely heal the wound so that the outside circumstances aren't so important.

Love to all.
