BREAKING: Norway's 🇳🇴 wealth fund is losing billions after divesting from Israel.
The fund dumped Israeli companies over the past year for political reasons.
In that same year, Tel Aviv's main index rose 40%, more than double the S&P 500.
Now the fund reports a $30 billion loss in one quarter.
They let politics run their portfolio, and Norwegian pensioners are paying for it.
On the Bulwak podcast, Kara Swisher says Elon might already be in jail under Kamala Harris, and "he knows what's coming for him."
Another one to put in the "what Democrats plan to do if they take power" file:
"If Donald Trump loses the House and the Senate, I would worry. I'd be worried if I were him."
"So they're going to start investigating again. You think he's not on the list? He's at the top of that list."
"He has a very big sense of fate. And I think it's coming for him. And real hard."
They're all just saying this stuff out loud now. There are no secrets about what they want to do.
🚨 BREAKING: Iran's Revolutionary Guards have reportedly threatened to attack seven undersea internet cables in the Strait of Hormuz.
These cables help connect millions of people to the global internet. The Iranian regime isn't just threatening the Middle East. It's threatening the infrastructure the entire world depends on
The older I get, the less I trust people who are never wrong out loud. Everyone I respect has a short list of calls they blew and can tell you exactly why.
Jung's words on finding your own path:
“What is to come will be created in you and from you. Hence look into yourself. Do not compare, do not measure. No other way is like yours. All other ways deceive you and tempt you. You must fulfill the way that is in you.”
Premise:
Incentives drive all human behavior.
The corollary:
How to destroy a country:
A vast social security and support system that serves as a magnet for those who would rather not work.
An open immigration policy that does not screen immigrants to determine their ability and willingness to provide for themselves and their families.
An open immigration policy that does not screen for political and/or religious ideologies that are a threat to the country.
Economic incentives large enough to incentivize immigrants on the state dole to have large numbers of children, but insufficient for educated and economically productive mothers to be able to quit to raise a family.
The declining fertility of the most educated and productive women due to their delay to begin a family as a result of their desire and/or need to advance their careers, among other reasons, to live a life they deem consistent with their educational achievements and/or to repay their student debts.
Amnesty programs that give citizenship and voting power to illegal immigrants without consideration of their economic productivity or their threat to the country due to their religious or political ideologies.
The changing demographics and increased population due to the above factors.
The state responding to protests by increasing social support.
The continued failure to punish and hold accountable violent and looting rioters.
Government managed by a massive and growing unelected bureaucracy.
Government fraud, waste, and abuse contributed to ballooning budgets.
Anti-business legislation that makes it difficult for businesses to compete in a global marketplace being disrupted by AI, including restrictions on firing even poorly performing employees.
Overly burdensome, globally uncompetitive, corporate taxation.
Continuous increases in personal taxes to raise funds to provide for the rapidly growing welfare state.
The substantial majority of the tax burden levied on a small percentage of the population.
A growing percentage of the electorate paying no taxes and receiving welfare.
The introduction or threat of a wealth tax including the taxation of unrealized gains, i.e., taxes on paper wealth.
The flight of the most productive business builders and highest taxpayers to lower tax countries with lesser security concerns.
A growing percentage of the electorate voting for candidates that support increased welfare and laws favorable to, and/or that match the cultural and ideological needs and desires of a growing unproductive immigrant population.
The rapid rise in anti-semitism and inadequate efforts to address this hatred.
Increased borrowing by the state to fund the growing social burden.
Higher sovereign interest rates due to all of the above.
The resulting need to reduce expenditures to make the math work.
Increasingly violent protests that make life less livable for the productive and law abiding citizens leading to their accelerated departure.
And so on…
But in Europe we have this.
What a f**king disgrace.
An absolute shame.
We need to completely change this disgusting system of idiots, cronies and thieves.
Macron pond un communiqué sur X pour nous expliquer qu’avec l’Allemagne on a « trouvé un accord » et qu’on va « assurer l’avenir » de l’automobile européenne.
Le monde entier a vu le volant lui échapper.
Les Américains sortent des Roadsters volants, les Chinois inondent le marché avec des VE deux fois moins chers, nos usines tournent à moitié vides, et lui nous sert la préférence européenne comme si personne n’avait remarqué le retard.
Cela prouve une fois de plus sa déconnexion totale.
Un tweet pour reprendre le contrôle d’un récit qu’il a déjà perdu. Le réel, lui, n’a pas besoin de communiqué.🤡
