@NYC2NRT @Altgthr I guess you can replace “moves” with “transfers”, and throw in a comma before “big man”

“Just as well I don’t get any transfers, big man”

Feels pretty similar to me but maybe sounds less colloquial to you.

Je vais partir du principe que tu es de bonne foi, parce que ton raisonnement est intuitif et que 90% des gens le partagent. Mais il repose sur trois erreurs factuelles, et ça vaut le coup de les regarder calmement.

Erreur 1 : la fortune d'Elon n'est pas un tas d'argent. C'est de la propriété d'usines, de fusées et de satellites. "Prendre la moitié de sa tune", concrètement, ça veut dire forcer la vente de la moitié de SpaceX et Tesla. L'argent ne sort pas d'un coffre, il sort des entreprises elles-mêmes, qui passent sous contrôle de fonds étrangers ou d'États. Tu ne redistribues pas du cash, tu démantèles un outil de production. C'est la différence entre récolter des pommes et découper le pommier.

Erreur 2 : "ça résout énormément de problèmes dans le monde". Cette expérience a déjà été tentée, en vrai. En 2021, le directeur du Programme Alimentaire Mondial de l'ONU a affirmé que 6 milliards de Musk pouvaient "résoudre la faim dans le monde". Réponse d'Elon : décrivez-moi exactement comment, comptabilité publique à l'appui, et je vends mes actions Tesla immédiatement. Le PAM a publié son plan. Verdict : ce n'était pas "résoudre la faim", c'était nourrir 42 millions de personnes pendant un an. Un an. Puis il faut re-payer, pour toujours. Le PAM avait d'ailleurs levé 8,4 milliards l'année précédente, et la faim était toujours là. Les ONG traitent les symptômes en boucle, jamais les causes, parce que leur financement dépend de l'existence du problème.

Erreur 3, la plus importante : tu cherches ce qui sort vraiment les gens de la pauvreté. Bonne nouvelle, on a la réponse, et elle est massive. En 1990, 36% de l'humanité vivait dans l'extrême pauvreté. Aujourd'hui, moins de 9%. Plus d'un milliard de personnes sorties de la misère en 30 ans. Par quoi ? Pas par la charité ni par l'aide internationale (plus de 1 000 milliards versés à l'Afrique en 60 ans pour un résultat à peu près nul). Par l'ouverture des marchés, l'industrialisation, le commerce. La Chine seule a sorti 800 millions de personnes de la pauvreté en abandonnant le collectivisme, pas en taxant ses entrepreneurs.

Donc fais le calcul complet. Option A : tu confisques 500 milliards, tu finances quelques années de programmes, l'argent est consommé, et tu as détruit la machine qui produisait les fusées, les voitures électriques et l'internet des zones rurales. Option B : tu laisses le meilleur allocateur de capital de sa génération réinvestir 100% de sa fortune dans des industries qui baissent les coûts pour tout le monde et emploient des centaines de milliers de personnes. L'option A soulage ta morale pendant 18 mois. L'option B sort des populations entières de la pauvreté pour toujours.

La pauvreté ne se redistribue pas. Elle se résout par la création. C'est contre-intuitif, c'est frustrant, mais c'est ce que disent 200 ans de données.

History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.

Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.

And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.

You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.

I have been married for 40 years now - four children, two grandchildren. The best decision was ever made was building our family. It is an appalling shame that so many British men and women feel unable to do the same for reasons outside of their control. My generation has spectacularly failed them all. We need to own up to that, and we need to fix it.

There is finally a pro-family political party that will reverse so much of the damage done - Restore Britain.

How?

Tax breaks for parents. Let working men and women keep more of what they earn to spend how they choose. This is THE most important policy above all else. Merge tax allowances for married couples. Trust families to spend their money, not the Government.

A Restore Britain Government will front-load child benefit. Pay more in the earlier years when the help is needed. Wouldn’t cost a penny, but would mean that parents get help when they really need it buying prams, cots, nappies etc.

This would be exclusively for British children with one or two British parents.

Widen VAT exemptions for child-related items, and expand tax-deductible childcare costs.

Reducing tax obviously helps, but we need more - Restore Britain would make childcare fully tax deductible. All hours.

Regulation should be eased so that ratios aren’t so strict, with more children per adult allowed. Encourage youngsters into childcare with proper bursaries, apprenticeships and so on. Tax incentives for more nurseries/pre-schools.

Foreign children with foreign parents would not be eligible for free childcare paid for by the taxpayer.

If a healthy Brit is on benefits and refuses to work? They will not receive free childcare. You’ve got the time, look after your child. Working parents should be given the help. Not the healthy indolent.

The two-child cap would be reinstated.

If you want more children but can’t be bothered to work? That’s your problem, not the taxpayer.

Restore Britain will abolish stamp duty for British families (full policy coming soon). Priority on social housing lists. No foreign national families in social housing would free up an enormous amount of space for British men and women to build their family.

Restore Britain would overhaul spousal visas - British citizens should be able to raise their families in Britain with a foreign spouse, without being treated like criminals by the Home Office. This would be alongside the ‘red list’ to crush fraud. That is positive immigration, and should be welcomed. Restore Britain will welcome it.

IVF and fertility treatment. There should be proper investment in helping those who struggle to have children naturally. Not brutally rationed as it currently is. More rounds, more chances. This would not be offered to the entire third world as it is now - it would all be funded by simply not doing that.

A Restore Britain Government would allow parents to take their children out of school for a limited number of term-time days per year, as the parents see fit. If the child is developing well, that is a decision for the parents. A small change that will save families thousands...

Restore Britain stands with the young British men and women who want to build a family.

Most importantly, our wider plan of restoration will give them the confidence they need to have children, to bring them into the world. On tax, deportations, crime. Everything. It all needs to change to restore belief. That is our objective.

Our plan will make a family possible for millions more British men and women - this is how we Restore Britain.

@McFlybowy Gabriel’s value is from 2024 so he’s actually 26 then. Saliba is 25 now.

It’s more likely because 2 years ago Gabriel wasn’t at the level Saliba is today, and you’d argue Saliba’s technical control makes him more versatile in managing a game with possession.

@ReviewsPossum @elonmusk Plenty of people with broken family relationships, fractured connections with their partners, and lost friends who put all their energy into campaigning for the rights of foreigners who despise them.

[Jordan Tyldesley @PippyBing]

The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.

It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.

[Chris Williamson @ChrisWillx]

The future looks conservative.

The assumption that birth rates are falling across society in general is not really true.

People who identify as conservative are having almost as many children as they were decades ago.

The decline is overwhelmingly among those on the progressive left.

[Scottish Moo  @ScottishMoo]

@SamCKx The left made sure the police in this country were scared to be labelled as racist. Now they are telling you it’s wrong to make this a political thing.

More and more I'm learning that the nihilistic claptrap we were all told was genius was just Leftist demoralization propaganda.

Situations like this have occurred, and the children didn't turn into little monsters. In fact they survived quite well.

In June 1965, six boys named, aged 13 to 16 "borrowed" a fisherman’s boat hoping to reach Fiji or New Zealand. After a storm damaged the sail and rudder, they drifted for eight days surviving on fish and rainwater collected in coconut shells, before washing up on the rocky uninhabited island of ‘Ata.

Rather than descending into chaos during their months there the boys created a mini society. They planted vegetables, collected and stored rainwater, and maintained a permanent fire. They even built a gymnasium with homemade weights, a badminton court, and chicken pens.

They divided daily chores using rosters, resolved conflicts with time-outs instead of fighting, began and ended each day with songs and prayers. One boy, Gilligan's Isle style, constructed a guitar from driftwood and coconut shell to boost morale. When one of the children broke his leg falling off a cliff the others set it with sticks and leaves and took over his work. They ate fish, coconuts, eggs, wild taro, bananas, and later chickens they had discovered in an ancient volcanic crater.

They endured this for for fifteen months, and never once turned into murderous thugs. A far cry from what we were told would happen.
