I help companies move forward, faster.

It's been about a year ago since I launched a site called 🇵🇹 Only In Portugal to journal the crazy issues we've experienced as foreigners moving to Portugal with both governments agencies and businesses here, most of them quite Kafka-esque in nature

Of course everyone's reaction is "why don't you leave?"

But it is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, which has incredible potential

And it's nicer to fix things, and while complaining about things doesn't make you popular (I've received many death threats), it is oddly effective if you do it in the public sphere:

Collectively complaining about things, as we've seen with Google (they stopped self-sabotaging and are now the leader in AI), the European Union (they are passing laws based on @euacc points), and even Apple (Tim Cook finally quit), does fix things, eventually!

So I'm trying the same with Portugal

I feel AI governance has a lot of potential, AI can be quite a neutral party that can look at issues and find solutions in a very pragmatic and non-partisan way

So I've asked AI to analyze over 300 issues, stories and experiences submitted to my site in the last 12 months, and write an deep analysis report how to fix Portugal in the next 5 years: every argument it makes is based on real experiences from real people , so no AI hallucinations

AI believes all issues here are based on 5 core problems:
- The Portuguese government is too expensive and too slow to interact with
- There aren't enough skilled workers and no incentive to become one
- There is zero accountability anywhere in the system
- Technology adoption is 15–20 years behind
- The tax system punishes productive people and rewards evasion

(P.S. of course many of Portugal's issues are a microcosm of Europe's macro issues)

AI then created a 5-Year Action Plan to solve it:

YEAR 1 — Shock Therapy
1.1 Flatten the Tax System
1.2 Nuke the Immigration Agency, Build a Digital Replacement
1.3 Gut the Public Sector Bureaucracy
1.4 The Accountability Law

YEAR 2 — Infrastructure Blitz
2.1 Lisbon Airport
2.2 Digital Infrastructure
2.3 Healthcare Triage

YEAR 3 — Culture Shift
3.1 Skilled Trades Academy
3.2 Animal Welfare & Noise Enforcement
3.3 Court Reform

YEAR 4 — Economic Acceleration
4.1 Housing
4.2 Transport
4.3 Consumer Protection

YEAR 5 — Consolidation
5.1 Measure Everything
5.2 Cultural Campaigns
5.3 The Exit Metric

Of course the next challenge is how do you get this to politicians, but we did this with @euacc before, so we can surely do it in Portugal too!

TIL the giants’ house in Ragnarok is CGI 😅
Always loved that mansion. The real spot in Odda, Norway is just an apartment complex. Didn’t see that coming.

Grok has finished reviewing the entire corpus of active EU legislation.

It recommends deleting 89%.

“You must have lost your mind. In Spain, they just legalized residence of half a million illegal aliens. In France, they throw grenades into hair salons in a broad daylight.

In Germany, not a single day goes by without someone being murdered with a knife. In Sweden, for example, you have bomb attack every other day. I can continue, but you just don't care.

Those are not real problems for the European left-wing politicians. No, you are going to solve the situation in Minnesota. You are seriously discussing here the rule of law in United States and criticizing American government for deporting illegal aliens, for deporting criminals out of their territory in the same time when Western European cities are gradually turning into a war zones.

We should do exactly the same. We should deport them from Europe and not legalize their stay. We should listen to them and not what you are proposing to all of us.

Everybody can see now you are enemies of Europe. You hate Europe. You hate our nations and you want to destroy the future for our children.

We should stop you. We should defeat you politically if we want to survive. Otherwise, it will be the end of Europe”

@ivan_8848 When an evil politician runs out it of ideas and money

They will start a war

[Michael Schäfer @Mogamboguru1]

@ivan_8848 Figure this: An unelected official devoid of any democratic legitimitation wants to herd 25 autonomous, democratic states into an unwinnable war with an atomic power. If that isn‘t the definition of an illigitimate power grab and presumtion of office, I don’t know what is.

📱EM BREVE NO TEU TELEMÓVEL

PSD e PS unem-se hoje (por proposta do PSD) para aprovarem uma lei que fará com que seja necessária validação com chave móvel digital fornecida pelo Estado para aceder a redes sociais.

A IL alerta ainda para uma alínea do art.° 12 que permite a "fiscalização automática de todas as mensagens enviadas antes de serem enviadas".

[Sebastián Lukomski @lukomski_sebito]

The EU is beyond screwed to a new level.

233 MEPs!! 233 members voted in by the people believe and voted for the sick, preposterous concept that men can get pregnant.

There is no alternative. The EU must collapse!
