This is funny but true;

96% of what people call “networking” is really just two people hoping the other one has money.

Nowadays, each household has a parent, a sibling, a child, or a relative with a chronic ailment:

• Hypertension

• Diabetes

• Thyroid diseases

• Chronic tonsilitis

• Endometriosis

• Osteoarthritis

• Stomach and intestinal inflammation

• Haemorrhoids

They are swallowing tens of drugs in the hope they will be healed.

Drugs don't cure chronic metabolic diseases.

No human being was born to live on drugs forever.

Do them a favour,

Send them an X link and bring them here.

I will unplug them from the mainstream lies by the food and pharma industries.

We must free them from the functional illiterates who mislead and misinform.

Our families are suffering.

We must restore dignity to our people.

Bring them,

X is the library of mental liberation.

Japan just demonstrated how @Starlink can save lives during disasters 🇯🇵

Maizuru City simulated a landslide that blocked access to local homes. Firefighters flew a drone into an unsafe area, then used Starlink to stream live HD video and audio from an area with poor cellular coverage directly to the city’s disaster headquarters.

The live view helped officials assess the damage and make faster rescue decisions. The city now plans more Starlink drills for major blackouts and other disasters.

The hardest strategic decision isn't choosing what to do.

It's choosing what you're willing to ignore.

Every “yes” quietly creates ten “no's.”

That's the part nobody puts in the strategy deck.
