Ex-YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits to deleting over 1 million COVID videos to silence anti vaxxers.

People died because of this evil woman's censorship.

@ZubyMusic Perhaps. What's wrong with life in prison though?
Otherwise, who gets to judge? Who carries the execution burden? What about wrongful convictions? Does murdering a murderer take moral high ground?

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

I do not deny that many people in the aid world are trying to help.

The problem is that they keep treating symptoms as if they were causes.

Hunger, bad schools, dirty water, and girls dropping out are real problems, but they are not separate mysteries.

If poverty is underneath all of it, then managing poverty better will never be enough.

You have to let wealth creators create.

The biggest asset in the world is your mindset.

🚨 WOW! Argentina President Javier Milei, a Trump ally, confirms he lifted 10 MILLION+ out of poverty by returning 100 BILLION DOLLARS to the people

"Having pushed the FILTHY PARASITE of the state out of the way!"

"We returned 15 points of GDP to good Argentines, we lowered the tax burden by 2.7 points of GDP."

Milei meeting Trump back in 2024, MAJOR SUCCESS continued into Milei's 2025 midterm elections 👏🏻

Keep crushing it, @jmilei_english 🇺🇸🇦🇷

[Free Speech Union of South Africa @SpeechAfrica]

The Free Speech Union South Africa has relaunched to defend the right of every South African to speak, think, debate, and dissent freely.

As threats to free expression grow, so does the need to protect it.

Elon Musk single-handedly shattered the global silence on South Africa's institutionalised extortion.

Without him, the world would still be blind to a state-sanctioned shakedown disguised as "compliance."

Investors are forced to surrender equity to a handpicked pool of ANC cadres and cronies just to operate.

Wealth creation is held hostage by political gatekeepers. They rebranded systemic corporate theft as policy.

Every major business has been extorted, they did not invest in the economy, but rather paid off the ruling elite to buy peace and the green light to operate.

You either cut the cadres in, or you get locked out.

It is a parasitic framework where corrupt politicians contribute absolutely zero to the economy, yet take the biggest cut.

[Sandy Bay @cyclecapepoint]

@NWoodeSmith Not convinced they know anything.

[Farai Mazhindu @FaraiMazhindu]

South Africans would quickly realize the Starlink ban makes zero sense if they forced the government to reveal its own rural connectivity plans.

The truth is, Politicians have no alternative that even comes close. This blockade isn't about sovereignty or consumer protection, it's about extortion.

Millions of citizens and school children are having their futures held ransom by an artificial digital divide, all to enrich a few well connected cadres under the guise of "regulation."

🚨 BREAKING UPDATE Research puts hard numbers on BEE’s economic cost.

The Solidarity Research Institute (SRI), working with the Free Market Foundation, calculates annual BEE compliance and related losses at R145–290 billion — equivalent to 2–4% of GDP.

That’s up to 192,000 foregone jobs every year.

In a country with one of the world’s highest unemployment rates, this is not abstract policy debate. It’s real capital, real investment, and real opportunities diverted year after year.
Over nearly two decades the cumulative drag has exceeded R5 trillion in lost economic activity, with GDP growth reduced by an estimated 1.5–3% annually.

Report: “The Costs of B-BBEE Compliance” (FMF & SRI, June 2025)

Is the current model still defensible when the costs are this visible?

@elonmusk @magattew Come home. Be the African president

[Sandy Bay @cyclecapepoint]

@Old_SchoolEddie True but are income opportunities distributed?

[Mike Nguni @Michael54863926]

I started a brand new business in 2016. It was successful & suddenly BEE wanted their share of my hard work. After 5 years, political interference took up more of my time than manufacturing did. I packed up and left. I now manufacture in a neighbouring country.

[Magatte Wade @magattew]

If you diagnose the disease incorrectly, the treatment will never work.

Most people look at Africa and see a lack of money, or corruption, or damage left over from colonialism.

Those things are real, but they are symptoms.

The underlying condition is that African governments have created some of the worst business environments on the planet, and nothing will improve until that changes.

[Virginie Landry 🗽🐍 🐢 @virginie1landry]

Il y a 2 ans et demi, 108 « économistes » dont Piketty et Zucman prédisaient l’effondrement économique de l’Argentine en cas de victoire de Milei.

Cela devrait suffire à les disqualifier à jamais.

[Daily Investor @DailyInvestorSA]

An analysis of South Africa’s most valuable companies showed that only two were founded after 1994, and none since BEE became law in 2004.
