Safaricom’s MPESA is just a text book good business model. Radical innovation with a quick rate of diffusion. Capture the market, become the dominant design in the industry. Enforce the industry standard by network and threshold effects. This enables incremental increase in price
Jag fattar verkligen inte vad som är så tilltalande med statsrasism. Där människor döms utifrån ursprung eller religion istälket för vem de är. Jag väljer att tro att det är okunskap för alternativet att man ser sig som en överlägsen ras är mycket mer motbjudande.
Jimmie Åkesson. När ditt parti säger att muslimer inte kan vara svenska eller att de borde sluta vara muslimer, kan ni inte bli förvånade när de röstar emot er. Ni kan inte avhumanisera människor, ifrågasätta deras rättigheter och sedan klaga när de tar avstånd från er politik.
The Israeli air force took the Syria route on their way to attack Iran.
Israeli Aerial refueling tanker flying over Syria, they are needed to top up fighter jets en route to Iran.
Israel facilitated the collapse of the Assad government, so they can use Syria as a transit country for their air strikes.
Israel planned this for a long time, it has nothing to do with recent developments, the nuclear talks were just a way to stall for time.
What an Orwellian world we live in. Israel launches a clearly illegal and unprovoked attack on Iran, in violation of the U.N. charter, and with no imminent Iran attack in sight, or any Iranian nukes developed, and its western allies come out to say they reaffirm *Israel’s* right to defend itself, not Iran’s. The aggressor’s, not the victim of the illegal attack.
This, I guess, is the west’s ’rules-based international order.’
The accusations/obsessions over DeepSeek using H100 sound like a rich kids team got outplayed by a poor kids team, who weren't even allowed shoes, and now the rich kids are demanding an investigation into whether shoes were used instead of training harder to improve themselves.
More importantly, the reasoning adopted by FIFA and UEFA ultimately proved to be a complete sham enveloped in brazen hypocrisy. Specifically: within days of the February 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, both FIFA and UEFA suspended the Russian Football Union and every single Russian football club. The entire process literally took less than a week. And in contrast to the suppression of gestures in support of the Palestinians, explicit solidarity with Ukraine, and the prominent display of the Ukrainian flag, were if anything encouraged.
I have yet to see a single liberal on Twitter or cable news display the slightest modicum of introspection.
They’re quick to blame men, white women, Latinos, Putin, Elon Musk, “fascists,” disinformation, and all their other regular scapegoats.
But not a word about the DNC short-circuiting the primary process. Or Biden staying in the race far longer than he should have. Or the White House and the media colluding to cover up Biden’s deteriorating faculties. Or Kamala simply being a thoroughly mediocre candidate. Or Tim Walz being a categorically awful running mate. Or the Democratic platform being unpalatable to working-class voters. Or inflation being a valid and painful concern for middle-class families. Or kamikaze woke activists being a singularly destructive political force.
They are so convicted of their own righteousness as to believe that their policies and their standard bearers are above reproach. Democrats can never fail American voters; American voters can only fail Democrats.
There is hence no need for introspection, self-reflection, or modifications to their strategies, because these things are already perfect. The only imperfect things here, in their minds, are you and me. We are flawed, we let them down, and it’s incumbent on us, not them, to do better.
They haven’t learned, and they likely never will learn. Let them enjoy the next four years.
This election is not only a referendum on Kamala's connection to the Biden administration's failed policies but also a rejection of what the Democrats have become:
It's an elitist, condescending, misandrist party filled with ideologues who don't care about the working class.🧵
If you lose the electoral college as well as the popular vote, the US senate & house with a diverse coalition of working class, blacks, whites, and Hispanics and your response is this you might need to do some deep reflection.
If present trends continue, this Trump victory will swamp all the micro-explanations. Shapiro as VP wouldn't have changed this. Keeping Arab-Americans in Michigan wouldn't have changed this. It's all the big stuff -- defeat in Afghanistan, a porous border, inflation, and (yes, this really matters) Biden's refusal to acknowledge reality and step aside in time for Democrats to have a real primary.
i folded and looked at social media.. the sheer number of “apolitical”people who saw me post dead bodies for 395 days and said nothing but are now being loud about politics reminds me that saying nothing was an active choice all along
Democrats are already wishing deportation and death for any brown person who didn’t vote for Harris.
No matter the result of the race, the response was always going to be racism. It’s either, “you deserve to die now” cuz of a loss, or “fuck you we didn’t need you” with a win
Don’t you dare blame Palestinians/Palestinian-Americans/Arabs/Arab-Americans. Here are some worthy targets for your ire (add your own below):
*Biden
*Harris
*genocide
*Bill Clinton/sending him to Michigan
*Ritchie Torres/sending him to Michigan
*Liz Cheney
*Courting Liz Cheney
*Netanyahu
*Biden not dropping out earlier
*not having a primary
*Matthew Miller
