I just realised… For the market to loose a Trillion dollars and nobody bats an Eye… meaning it did not affect a lot of people, it only affected a few. Also proof that only a very few have all the money. #deepseek #ai #opensource

The Tax break is great. But where are the jobs? How many jobs did we create in the last 10 Years. Who cares about an income tax break for the middle class, when you are killing the middle class with every budget.

One of the most pernicious things Modi did was destroy India’s venerable system of statistical data collection and disbursement. Reliable data on unemployment and the economy cannot be used as a political cudgel if it doesn’t exist.

In the book, "Hope for Cynics" the author argues that in a moment of extreme uncertainty, cynicism is a dark safety net. Seeing humanity as selfish, greedy and untrustworthy gives us a sense of control. Instead, Stanford psychologist Jamil Zaki, advocates "hopeful skepticism."

Stole five Arabian horses from a plantation owner with my band of outlaws and sold them. No horses were harmed in the process, can’t say the same about the plantation owners. 🤠

China wants to sell #tiktok US to #elonmusk. Why? One word “ Leverage “. #Tesla is more of a Chinese auto manufacturer at this point.
I am impressed on how this is unfolding.
