We are witnessing the slow death of ownership.
Music, movies, software, cars, even printers. Everything is becoming a subscription.
You no longer buy a product. You rent permission to use it, paying month after month for something that can be taken away the moment you stop paying.
Corporations get endless revenue. Consumers get endless bills.
And somehow, we've been convinced this is progress.
Be careful of inheriting the social obsession with finding what is wrong with everything. There is always something to indict, something to resent, something to rage against. But if your eyes are permanently trained on what is broken, you eventually become broken yourself.
Xi Jinping is the only world leader who was personally received by Donald Trump. It made me understand why Nicolo Machiavelli said "It's better to be feared than to be loved".
@KenanaJnr@moneyacademyKE When a dispute arieses who will be held accountable by the supreme court? Who will be sued by the disputing presidential candidate?

African Christianity can be incredibly loud about sex, clothes, sexuality and women’s bodies.
But ask about poverty, corruption, exploitation or abuse of power and suddenly the sermon becomes very spiritual.

Algeria completes its massive 2,400km section of the Trans-Sahara Highway. Laying climate-resistant asphalt through 50°C+ desert heat for $2.6 Billion, it permanently bridges Mediterranean ports with West African markets! 🌍
I remember, when President William Ruto, said he will deliver Gikomba from evil, the special "business" community even took to the radios and prayers saying how bad it will be for business.
Their desire was to remain in mud, and continue selling without renting or paying taxes.
Now, Gikomba (Phase) is about to be delivered. Cleaner, more regularized, and government is about to expand tax brackets.
