A few passing thoughts, here and there, but mostly here

A third runway at Heathrow would only add 0.05%, so let’s not bother, ignoring all the companies that would benefit.

Building nuclear power stations takes too long, let’s not bother and continue buying Russian gas.

This mentality is why we’re in the shit. Build the sodding runway.

Assume the movie had flopped and the director lost his entire $750,000 investment. How many crew members would have voluntarily returned their fees to help offset his loss?

This is the fundamental asymmetry in risk and reward. When someone puts up their own capital and shoulders the real financial risk especially in a high-failure industry like entertainment they alone bear the downside.

Yet the moment the project succeeds, suddenly everyone who was paid upfront wants a bigger piece of the pie. The same people who would not have shared in the loss now feel entitled to share disproportionately in the upside.

If you accept payment for your work regardless of outcome, you’ve already been compensated for your risk (or lack thereof). Why should the person who risked everything not be allowed to reap the rewards when their gamble pays off?

Dragons, I come to you today with a business boasting a 30.6% CAGR over 5 years. One customer. Zero marketing. The customer? Buckinghamshire Council. The product? Taxis.

@AndyX27_ Gender reveals as an act are narcissistic, so it’s no surprise that individuals like this surround them.

Hand on heart, I dont feel sad at all. Im so fucking proud of this group. Won us a PL after 22 years and took us to a UCL final. Kings who will be remembered forever. 99% of Europe would want our season.

Thank you Mikel and Thank you Arsenal.

I recognise my football club again.

Gabriel Magalhães. One kick does not define you. Unbelievable across 120 minutes tonight, and stellar all season long. We stick together - in the good times and the bad.

If you are coming to the parade to fuck around and be anti social just don't. This is a family event for arsenal fans whether you have been to 0 or 60 games this season. This isn't carnival this isn't a day festival it is a parade to celebrate The Arsenal.

[🕊 @Armzinnho]

Ngl arsenal fans gotta abuse anyone who tries to bring that twerking nonsense to the parade. Keep it classy.
