The play is to get you to hate your pro freedom neighbour.

Create them as an enemy.

That way if they are hauled off to a quarantine facility, it is their fault.

"Stupid covidiot, should've gotten the vax."

Revealing the magicians trick takes away its power.

Don't get played.

I'm the son of an immunologist. My family knew who Anthony Fauci was.

He was a physician who saved literally millions of lives during outbreaks of SARS, the Swine Flu (H1N1), MERS, Ebola and - particularly - HIV/AIDS.

Most enjoyable places to urinate, in order:

Your own swimming pool
Your own garden
The sea
Someone else's swimming pool
Someone else's garden
A toilet

When defecating, the order is reversed.

Weird that no one seems to want to make the connection between Brookfield and their heavy exposure to condo markets and recent bailouts.

Robb is right. But he's also completely wrong.

To understand why, let's imagine a society filled with Red people and one filled with blue people.

A red society is a society where, if you make the wrong choice, answer a question wrong, you get killed. A low trust society.

A blue society is a society where error is possible and permissible, because the groups ensures it, at no cost of its own, I might add. A high trust society.

While, on an individual level, choosing red is the rational choice, it is also obvious that living in the blue society is very much preferable.

But a blue society is composed of people who chose blue. You can't be part of that society if you chose red, or if you do, in time, you and your kind will destroy it.

When you zoom out and consider thing at that level, the best move seems to be to chose blue, and aggressively ostracizing people who chose red.

And Robb's rational choice translate into living in the wasteland. It's the 3rd worlder mindset and it gets you 3rd world grade results.

It is also worth noting that the blue society will be destroyed if you let the red reach a critical mass, and that mass is much less than 50%, because once you get 10% or 15% of red, the blue folks will start flipping for their own safety.

All parallels with current events is purposeful.

Spoke this weekend to both Americans and Canadians in British Columbia. We all want to get along and do business. Not a single person in the room saw the other country as a threat or a weakness.

Not one.

On both sides of the border, people are simply looking beyond the political noise. Politicians come and go, all of them. What remains are resilient farmers, food manufacturers, and restaurant operators—people constantly looking for opportunity. Everyone in that room understood that.

We owe our quality of life and our way of living to each other. We just can't forget that.

Most people have never heard of the Cantillon Effect.

It explains why printing money makes the rich richer and everyone else poorer.

New money doesn't reach everyone equally. It flows to banks, asset holders and governments first. By the time it reaches ordinary people, prices have already risen.

That's not a bug. It's how the system works.

[deadalnix @deadalnix]

The so called housing crisis has 3 causes:
1. Monetary inflation devalue money and incentivize borrowing more and more, jacking up the price of homes.
2. Over regulation makes it harder and harder to build and rent. Less supply means higher prices.
3. More people are single than ever before, so two houses are needed when one was enough before.

@chillywillers It isnt the same, it is an upgraded system.

People don't willingly accept slavery but they willingly accept and even fight for taxes.

Meanwhile there is a small cabal of people who create money out of thin air.

"To bring down the cost of food quickly, Ottawa could eliminate the GST on all food items, scrap the industrial carbon tax, and work with the provinces to remove interprovincial trade barriers to boost competition. Those measures alone would make a meaningful difference."

Let me explain what a $2 billion “cow collar” actually is 👇

They put an AI collar on a cow. It tracks location. Health. Movement. Behavior. Every second of every day.

A farmer opens an app. Draws a line on a map. That line becomes a fence.
No physical fence. No wall. Nothing visible.

When the cow gets close to the boundary.. the collar vibrates. The cow turns around. Within 10 days the animal doesn’t even test the boundary anymore. It just stays inside.

700,000 animals are already wearing them.

They called it a “cowgorithm.” They want you to laugh at it.

Now read the technology again without the word cow..

24/7 GPS tracking on every individual. Real time health and behavior monitoring. Invisible boundaries drawn from a phone. Movement controlled through vibration and sound. Subject learns compliance within days.

$2 billion. And guess who led the investment…

Peter Thiel. The same man who built Palantir. CIA backed surveillance from day one. The same man who just got a $10 billion Pentagon contract to run AI inside the military.

His entire career is building systems that track and control. Now he’s funding a collar that does exactly that.

They’re not investing in farming. The farming is the test…

Most people have no idea what’s coming…

The show is called Every Brilliant Thing, and the math on why Daniel Radcliffe is doing it tells you everything about how wealth actually works.

Radcliffe earned roughly $95 million from the Harry Potter franchise between ages 11 and 21. His parents set up a holding company called Gilmore Jacobs Ltd. to manage the money. UK Companies House filings show it held £96.3 million in net assets as of early 2024, growing by an estimated £500,000 per month from investment returns alone. That's approximately $7.6 million per year in passive income before he picks up a script.

The Broadway numbers are small by comparison. The Hudson Theatre seats 970. At a $144 average ticket price and 98% capacity, the show grosses about $137,000 per performance. Eight shows a week puts weekly gross around $1.1 million. A lead actor's Broadway salary tops out around $100,000-150,000 per week. Over a 13-week limited run, Radcliffe's total take from Every Brilliant Thing is probably $1.3 to $2 million.

His investment portfolio generates that in roughly two months of doing nothing.

So why is he on 44th Street spending 20 minutes before every show handing out numbered cue cards, recruiting strangers to play his dad and his wife, then performing 85 minutes straight with no intermission, no co-stars, and a different audience every night?

Because at $110 million in net worth with a 35-year compounding runway behind him, the returns on career capital now exceed the returns on financial capital. Every role like this, every Tony (he won last year for Merrily We Roll Along), every five-star review builds the résumé that keeps him working on exactly the projects he wants for the next 40 years.

Radcliffe said it himself: "I want to be able to keep finding reasons to come back to Broadway for as long as I am physically capable of doing so."

The guy who got rich playing a wizard figured out the one thing most wealthy people never learn: once the portfolio compounds on its own, the optimal move is to spend your time on work that compounds your reputation instead.
