@589CTO When I got on my United flight, one guy in an Uphold XRP shirt saw me, tripped a guy in a bitcoin maxi shirt as he passed in the aisle, yelled "XRP forever, we love you David!", and then literally everyone on the plane clapped.

Ukraine War 2022 peak:

WTI hit $133.46 and Brent reached $139.13 on March 7, 2022 — highest since July 2008 Nature
Crude went from $76 in January to $140 on March 7 — nearly doubled in 6 weeks Factually
Russia's supply disruption was ~3 million barrels/day

This crisis is WORSE because:
FactorUkraine 2022Hormuz 2026Supply disrupted3M barrels/day20M barrels/day (Hormuz)Physical blockadeNo — Russian oil still flowedYes — Strait physically closedStorage crisisNoYes — Iraq already cutting, Kuwait 9 daysInfrastructure damageMinimalTankers hit, pipelines attacked, QatarEnergy shutLNG disruptionPartialTotal — Qatar fully shutAlternative routesRussian oil redirected to India/ChinaPipeline capacity only 35% of Hormuz volume
If Ukraine took crude from $76 → $140 (84% spike) with 3M barrels disrupted, Hormuz disrupting 20M barrels could take it from $76 → $200+.
The math supports it. 20M barrels is 6.7x larger than Ukraine's disruption. And unlike Ukraine where Russian oil was rerouted, Hormuz oil is physically trapped with nowhere to go.

Who’s paying attention?

[Financelot @FinanceLancelot]

My account is so heavily censored right now it's not even funny. They don't want you to see what's coming.

Things lining up?

[Ikaustat @trohsgib]

They say it started as a rebellion.

A lone figure. A white paper. A network designed to escape control.

That’s the public version.

The other version is quieter.

According to the theory, the system wasn’t built to overthrow anything. It was built to test something.

In 2008, as the financial system fractured, a new digital network appeared. No CEO. No headquarters. No central switch.

It spread organically, they said. Grassroots. Decentralized.

But skeptics of the skeptics ask a different question:
What if it was a controlled experiment?

What if the architects weren’t just coders, but architects of transition?

The Hollow Men

American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider.

By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants.

These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition.

In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken.

Today, we have severed that link.

We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses.

If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived.

This looting starts in the boardroom.

We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year.

Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor.

And for what?

Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love.

They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders.

And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk?

We get the Delegation Economy.

When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know.

This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering.

They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake.

While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us.

If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag.

The time for polite governance is over.

If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

figma "god mode" just leaked..

this week i tried the future of autonomous design: claude connected directly to the figma api with full edit access.. yes it can design in figma

what does it mean?

you prompt, it designs. it’s like having a team of designers inside figma working with you and 10x ing your capacity

​why is this different?

​official figma ai/mcp only "reads" files to help devs. this tool (unofficial MCP) "writes" in figma to replace manual labor. hours of grinding turned into seconds of waiting

​imagine this:

- ​prompt to design: generate a new screen based on your design or not

- prompt to flow: generate end to end user journeys

- iteration: create multiple variations in one click

- design system: it can use your components to create new screens

- ​zero click management: auto layout, component creation, deduplication handled by prompt

- ​universal control: if you can do it in figma, it can do it for you

​the impact

​if figma officially releases this, almost every existing plugin becomes obsolete overnight

it feels like figma on steroids. i’m still processing whether i feel empowered or replaced

​full tutorial in this article from @markacianfrani. handle with care: ai will have access to everything in figma
