That @demishassabis decided to remain in the UK rather than move to the US was the single most important event in the UK's future. An entire ecosystem is crystallizing around him.
If the U.K. wanted to be a successful and prosperous country, a party only has to copy what works around the world.
They won’t, most politicians are losers, want power and control and trade shitty ideas for votes.
But if I was the leader of a party:
1. Do everything I can to get energy prices as low as possible
2. Implement Swiss-style direct democracy
3. Develop a US-style constitution to embed basic rights such as free speech while limiting the power of government
4. Pay close attention to what has worked in Singapore, especially reducing corruption
5. Copy Estonia’s digital government and reduce bureaucracy
6. Implement low taxes & pro-business policies
7. Fix the borders, duh
8. Build prisons, release speech offenders and punish crime
Fair, dynamic and prosperous.
I’m literally a half wit with a podcast but this seems so obvious.
That moment when unelected EU President Ursula Von der Leyen, during her visit to Finland, was telling the audience that in Russia you would be arrested for protesting, while at that same moment, a protestor was being arrested....
😂😂😂
This is incredible.
Michael and Susan Dell just announced they are donating $6.25 billion to help 25 million children in America.
"The Dells have committed to seed Trump Accounts with $250 for children who are 10 or under who were born before Jan. 1, 2025. According to Invest America, the pledged funds will cover 25 million children age 10 and under in ZIP codes with a median income of $150,000 or less."
Very inspiring to see one of our country's best entrepreneurs do this.

@itsdeaann Why is keeping a government shutdown good? Do you think the US public cares more about federal workers being paid and the country running, or about the party the majority didn't vote for using that as leverage to get their own way regardless of the election?
@steve_hanke@AWCrooke This was each other’s leverage on each other. China meeds soy beans for calories and USA need rare earths.
Seemed pretty even to me
@JoeCarlasare@matty_ice_BTC@daveweisberger If repo rates stay high, would this not signal stress in the funding market, where the Fed may intervene with balance sheet expansion?
I understand they will stop QT on Dec 1st and just cut rates which seems to have brought it down. But if it continued, would QE be the response?
absolutely astonishing that breaking these taboos -- endorsing British wealth and exceptionalism -- has such power
partly why I think this fight is so winnable
@itsdeaann Dean are there examples of countries with high levels of debt to gdp have had successful implementation of socialist policies that have been sustainable?
@ricwe123 What else should europe do?
They already blundered trusting russia? There is no threat of war with the US so why would the US not sell them all the LNG they want?
@themarketradar Really like your work.
Think everyone expects volatility from bitcoin and more focused on multi month/year trend.
Recently you seem to be doing a lot more short term sentiment style posts. Any reason? Is it due to potential pivots in your strategy as you use leverage?
