@diegobu63636363 Piketty en su libro" Le Capital au XXIe siècle" intenta justificar un impuesto universal más elevado a la gente con mayor capital. Un socialista a diestra y siniestra. Milei por su parte siempre ha apoyado el Libre Mercado y la meritocracia. Viva La Libertad Carajo! #Milei#Smith
I want to tell you the story of a young woman who you have probably never heard of. Her name is Mary Anne. She was born on a remote island in Scotland, where life was harsh and unforgiving.
On May 2, 1930, when she was 18 years old, she got on a boat headed for Ellis Island to start a new life. She arrived here 11 days later.
She wasn't chasing fame, riches, or power. She came for the unique opportunity that America offered. Her sister was already here and had found a job as a maid. So, Mary Anne MacLeod joined her, listing her occupation as “domestic” on her Ellis Island immigration papers.
She came to America knowing that she would clean the houses and toilets of the wealthy families in New York. She and her sister lived and worked hard through the worst days of the Depression. And she persevered.
Six years later, she married a man named Fred. He was the son of German immigrants. Then In 1942, she became a citizen.
Mary and Fred would end up having five children: two daughters and three sons.
One of those sons, they named Donald.
A woman who came here as a maid, the lowest of jobs, would raise a son who would change the very skyline that greeted his mother when she arrived at Ellis Island.
After that, he would become the 45th and 47th President of the United States.
There is no other country in the world where a woman can arrive with nothing, and in ONE generation, her son would lead the entire world.
For America’s 250th anniversary, I wanted to present President Trump with this painting I did, and then I ran out of time and talent. So, I asked a good friend of mine, Mike Malm, to help me finish it. This is how I envisioned her coming into the United States.
Mary Anne MacLeod Trump should be a household name. Her story is everything that is great about America.
For 10 years an elderly man listened daily to his late wifes voice message to feel her presence When it was accidentally deleted he thought it was lost forever However he contactedthe the telecommunications and team of 11 engineers worked for three days to recover it leaving the man weeping with joy
Most people dunking on Michael Dell’s wife have no idea who the man actually is.
This dude became a billionaire at 26.
Took his company private.
Bought it back.
Then built one of the greatest comeback stories in tech.
And he did it with the same woman by his side since 1989! 36 years!!
He was shy
She was a baddie
She pulled him out of his shell
They built an empire together
That’s the part Clown Twitter misses.
Anyone can upgrade a car.
It takes a different kind of man to stay loyal when you don’t have to.
And it takes a different kind of partnership to survive:
• Going public at 23
• Losing $100B in market cap
• Getting written off by every analyst
• Building it all back to $120B+
Meanwhile they're raising four kids and just donated $6.25B to children's causes.
But Twitter's roasting her appearance at 60....
Imagine building a company from your dorm room…
Hitting a billion before your brain is fully formed…
Keeping the same partner for four decades…
Raising a family…
Becoming world-class philanthropists…
And still getting roasted by dudes who haven't kissed a girl since middle school
If you’re a founder:
Let this be a reminder of what actually ages well.
Skill.
Character.
Loyalty.
Impact.

@BurritoBrains@nathancofnas Don't be dumb, Marcus Aurelius, Ceasar, Plato are all "academics" of sort. Even Jesus was deeply studious. Academia is: "the environment or community concerned with the pursuit of research, education, and scholarship."
Clash Royale continues its rise in popularity and is now as popular in the United States as it was at the end of 2016! (World wide it’s at around 2018 levels). It also broke a new revenue record earning $57,000,000 😳
The Chinese attribute the west’s rise and dominance specifically to Christianity.
But the rote learning in Asian countries no doubt helped us.
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences:
“One of the things we were asked to look into was what accounted for the success, in fact, the pre-eminence of the West all over the world. We studied everything we could from the historical, political, economic, and cultural perspective. At first, we thought it was because you had more powerful guns than we had. Then we thought it was because you had the best political system. Next we focused on your economic system. But in the past twenty years, we have realised that the heart of your culture is your religion: Christianity.
The whole organ donation thing is a perfect example of a principle I've noticed, which is that the state, or really any sufficiently advanced bureaucracy, will always implement the most evil version of whatever good you're trying to accomplish.
Organ donation is an incredible moral good. It costs nothing, essentially. When you die, instead of wasting your perfectly good life-saving organs, you give them away. Obviously everyone on earth should be in favor of this and absent really niche religious objections and some noetic sciencey concerns about *receiving* organs altering the personality, there's really no reason to push back on this.
I know it, you know it, and everyone knows it.
So then you ask yourself, "what's the worst case scenario if we move forward with this?" and it's hard to imagine!
So you think and think and you come up with this absurd idea that, well, the worst case scenario is that they start stealing organs. They just fucking kill you for your organs. Because you volunteered to donate your organs in advance, there's now an incentive for you to die because your organs are in play in a way that someone who hasn't preapproved organ donation isn't.
But that's so absurd. They'd never perform organ harvesting on a living patient.
But of course they do. This is the real world. There was a case recently of a guy literally waking up on the table and the doctors wanted to keep going because he was legally dead and they needed those organs.
It's sick stuff, but this is the reality. Whatever the messiest, most vile, just plain evilest implementation of your policy is going to be the one that's implemented.
I call this method of policy analysis "Zy's Eyes Review" because it rhymes and I want something named after me.
The state is a capricious djinn and you need to be very careful what you wish for and how.
More often than not, you're actually better off trying to achieve your moral goal on your own as an individual instead of rubbing the lamp of state power.
Good luck
If you do the same things as everyone else - you can not win - because then everybody would win.
And if everybody wins, nobody wins.
If you do something different than everyone else - you take a risk, by definition.
Therefore it is mathematically ensured that ONLY risk takers can win.
Blackstone didn't buy 274,000 homes to be landlords.
They spent $1 trillion turning homeownership into subscription housing.
They are creating a generation that will own nothing and rent everything.
While families dream of white picket fences, Wall Street dreams of permanent tenants 🧵
If I wanted to move to a different country to have a better future, ESPECIALLY if that country was made by people who are really different from me, like if I was moving to China or India as opposed to Italy or France, when I got there, I would be really grateful.
I would say "thank you for letting me be here" and "how may I be of service to you to thank you for allowing me to live in your country?"
I would absolutely not tell those people that they owe me money or say "here's why I'm better than you" or "we [White people] are taking over!" I would also definitely be on my best behavior, and I would follow their rules to the best of my ability, and I would never even DREAM of harming any of those people who let me live in their beautiful, prosperous country.
That would feel awful. I would feel awful about myself if I ever behaved like that. What kind of a worthless piece of shit would you have to be to act like that?
Everybody wants to live in the results of a high-trust society, but most people don't even know what high trust is.
They want to cheat and steal, but also live in the nice place. They don't understand that it's the not cheating and not stealing that makes it nice.
