The secret sauce to transform retirement participant engagement | Insurance Blog We all procrastinate sometimes – some more skillfully than others. In Tim Urban’s talk ‘Inside the mind of a master procrastinator’ he explains how the ‘instant gratification monkey’ overrides our ‘rational decision-maker,’ making us chase what’s ‘easy’ and ‘fun’ instead of what’s necessary.  Retirement planning is neither easy nor fun, so it’s easy to see why so many of us may disengage from planning decisions far longer than we should – until it’s often too late.

Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.
