An opinion that has to be shared widely.

Kenyans especially have to see this. Divorce rates & promiscuity levels are worrying.
We need to promote relationship & family values more ๐ฏ
This is a sad trend for people and society.
Itโs been proven for many years now: building a committed relationship with one person and then raising children in that nuclear two-parent family contributes more to creating healthy, happy adults and a well functioning society than anything else (ie wealth vs poverty, health history, zip code, race).
So the implication of the trend below, if it doesnโt self correct are terrible for society as a whole:
1) there will be more and more promiscuity and, as a byproduct, less kids born
2) what few kids we do have will grow up in non two parent households
It may seem โfunโ and โfreeโ to be a 20/30 something with a roster, but many of these folks will wake up alone, too late to act on the simple truth that being in a committed relationship and having kids is not an indulgence of a thriving society but a requirement.
I guess the most important question to ask @elonmusk is how will he be able to keep the Tesla stock bubble so high as other vehicle manufacturers electrify, hydrogen gets more mainstream & people see him for his snakeoil sales (eg. Boring Co. failures, Tesla Semi low L.C & more)
I am looking forward to joining @elonmusk on X Spaces later this week. Please reply with questions and we will ask the best ones as we cover everything from AI to space and beyond!
Today I learned that when Twitter acquired @uenodotco in 2021, @iamharaldur quietly negotiated for the acquisition price to be paid as salary so he could pay 46% in taxes instead of 22%, in gratitude to his education in Finland.
An especially stark contrast in character today.
@moneyacademyKE While Binance may solve the Fiat On-ramp & Off-ramp issues through their P2P, I think we need a better interfaced, much easier and readily available service especially for crypto to fiat. Rates should be in line with banks and the UI as straightforward as possible
While your decision to pick X carried no ambition, your situation reminds me of Icarus' flight.
Other single-letter handles got decent exits. You went beyond everyone's wildest dreams and got burnt.
I salute you @X
Ooof
I meant @x12345678998765
Forever the real X.
@Osama_otero@KWSKenya Bird shooting is actually legal in Mwea, during a certain season of the year with licenses issued for the same. Donโt have the exact details, nothing illegal here.
@IanECox This war has been a good opportunity for the ruling democratic oligarchy to profit from seized Russian assets, weapon sales to Ukraine & partners, reconstruction commitments, energy deals & so much more. Our thinking isn't critical. This war is another US foreign policy blunder
@IanECox Ian... I have of late been thinking that nobody cares about Ukraine. It's fun to point the finger and say they're defending & not invading. The truth is the US invaded Iraq and destabilized it. US foreign policy is responsible for disasters like Libya, Syria, Palestine & Yemen
@IanECox Libyan emigrants have been dying while crossing the Mediterranean almost every day for the past decade. And when caught, they're deported to Africa, after all the risking. Victims of Saudi-Yemen conflict, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Venezuela & so much more. All 100% engineered
@IanECox US media is a propaganda machine, much like any Autocratic government state media. It convinced Americans to express xenophobia towards muslims who have been its victims. The same goes to European Media juggernauts like DW, France24, BBC & so many more aligned with USA & Brussels
"The Soviet Union provided money, military training and other support to the ANC. The United States on the other hand, labelled ANC a terrorist organisation and did not officially support sanctions until 1986, only a few years before apartheid fell..."

@unusual_whales Andreesen Horowitz: Shut up and take my money!
I have a feeling this is a dumpster fire in the making.
That is such a vague & jumbled up company description. It's similar to how ponzi/ pyramid schemes are described: with many layers, intertwined & difficult to comprehend. ๐ปish
Deciding on a takeover price:
Investment Banking MD: Let's have the junior team pull 20 all-nighters, pump out base case projections and 5 operating cases depending on global warming forecasts and sensitivity tables for the Big Mac Index
Elon: How about another weed joke?
@IanECox Forget the competition to build larger malls. Convenience, location & amenities matter over size. I'm happy with my nearby Garden City Mall and Two Rivers. Sarit Mall in Westlands was dope back when they had a cigar shop. The shop closed and I haven't been there ever since ๐
