Well said. Thunder championship means the world to our city but it's not what validates OKC as being a worthy city in the eyes of the rest of the country. It's not perfect but OKC is a great place to live, work, and raise a family. Just need @davidfholt to run for governor!

Now, if you all could just elect decent and talented candidates to office. With the location you could attract more businesses with adequate paying jobs. Give the majority of the state’s population something to do besides drugs.

One of my favorite bits from Sam Presti’s press conference was his thoughts on Oklahoma. “The team is really just a reflection of the state. I've heard people say that this is a team of underdogs in an underdog state… But I don't agree with the fact that this is an underdog state in any way. I think the thing to note here, in my opinion, is that there's really nothing missing in Oklahoma. There's nothing missing here. We didn't need a trophy to validate anything whatsoever. I think if you look closely at all of the things that make this place unique and special, the things that really matter, we're not short on any of those things. In fact, we're long on all of them.”

In Oklahoma, we’re teaching kids that you can do anything God puts on your heart as long as you’re willing to work hard for it. We believe in equal opportunity, not equal outcome.

Sam Presti: “There’s no silver platters in Oklahoma City. We don’t expect to be given anything & we don’t expect to unfold favorably as some teams in some cities are accustomed to. Every year, our goal is to repeat a process, not chase an outcome.”

Munson: In Oklahoma, Republicans have been in charge of state government for two decades, and nothing has improved. In fact, everything has gotten worse. On every good list, we’re at the bottom, and on every bad list, we’re at the very top.

Marc Andreessen: “We need a stable, permanent regulatory structure for crypto in the US.” “We need it so that it doesn’t result in more FTXs. And we need it so that people’s money doesn’t get stolen.” “We’re not looking for a free lunch. We’re not looking for subsidies. We’re not looking for protectionism. We’re just looking for a basically permanent framework that lets people do business in a responsible way.” Marc Andreessen 🇺🇸 on why the US needs the kind of permanent crypto framework the CLARITY Act would create.
