I’m 70 years old. My father was US Air Force. So was I. We’ve been fighting our nations wars for 60 years.
Mamdani immigrated here and became a legal US citizen in 2018.
How dare a communist Ugandan lecture ME on what it means to be an American! He has no clue and he’s destroying NYC. He’s trying to destroy America.
My pissed off meter just maxed. Circuit breakers are popping,
Eff off, @NYCMayor. You’re in way over your head “American.”
In plaats van zo krampachtig vast te houden aan een bizar hoge vermogensaanwasbelasting om jaarlijks maar ‘genoeg’ geld binnen te harken, wat overigens ook nog eens een vrijwel onmogelijke opgave is als verliezen mogen worden verrekend (in een jaar waarin de beurs 50% daalt, gaat vrijwel iedereen in het rood), kan de Nederlandse overheid met een veel beter plan komen waarvan zowel huishoudens als de schatkist profiteren.
Het is simpel: maak beleggen structureel aantrekkelijker door het belastingtarief te halveren of zelfs helemaal af te schaffen. Wanneer huishoudens voor de lange termijn gaan beleggen (en daarmee de kans op een aantrekkelijk rendement significant vergroten), levert dat uiteindelijk veel meer op dan stomweg vasthouden aan kansloze ideeën.
Als je bovendien veronderstelt dat (slim) beleggen ook kan bijdragen aan hogere economische groei, wordt de rekensom alleen maar aantrekkelijker.
Je hoeft daarvoor geen bizarre voorstellen te doen, doorgedraaide en kostbare regelgeving in te voeren of eindeloos te debatteren. De cijfers spreken voor zich.

Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.

Egypt's coach waving the Palestinian flag after their win in World Cup yesterday 👇
Fun fact: Egypt has built a 7-layered wall on its border with Gaza to make sure not a single Palestinian refugee crosses into Egypt 🤡
Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.
Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”
Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.
Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”
Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.
Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”
That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.
Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”
The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.
Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”
They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.
8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.
The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

Maar u weet: kwaadaardigheid komt louter van rechts.
You mean men, men who claim to be women. You are a national broadcaster that consistently obfuscates facts around sex because you’ve taken an ideological position the public overwhelmingly rejects. This isn’t news, it’s propaganda.
