One of the things is when you think, Wait, I'm fearful of retaliation, I'm fearful of oppression because of someone who is going into a public office, who might be vengeful for their own personal reasons, that's actually not a reason to hide - that's a reason to step up, right?This is part of what we learned from the 1920s.
Reid Hoffman
I think we realized the depth of frustration through the current political process. So we said, OK, we know there's a serious problem here, we know we need to work on it, and now it's Oh, we need to work on it a lot faster.

The key thing that I find that when you're kind of in boom times and you're hiring bunches, if you can hire, you know, always maintain very high standards and even if you, you know, can't find enough of, you know, what is typically called A players, then don't hire the people. All right? So, you know, use that as a way of standards.
