I increasingly think prestige matters less than execution. What counts is who can turn research into viable business before the others finish admiring themselves.
Let's demystify heat pumps: how they work, how they save you money, and how they perform in cold climates (like Canada!).

🚨🇨🇦 The government wants access to your location, your metadata, and your digital footprint.
But when Canadians ask questions about:
💰 Foreign aid spending
🏦 Brookfield discussions
🏛️ Decisions made behind closed doors
The answers are nowhere to be found.
More surveillance.
Less transparency.
More power.
Less accountability.
A healthy democracy scrutinizes government.
Not the other way around.
Should we allow this to happen?🤔

“With the three largest passive S&P 500 funds now holding more than $2.6 trillion combined & Vanguard's VOO alone crossing $1T this month, prices are increasingly set by mechanical flows rather than by anyone judging what companies are actually worth.”
@baoshaoshan Maybe. I would first look at the rupiah, capital outflows and policy mistakes. Governments talk about strong fundamentals right until the portions get smaller.
EU keeps lagging. It is the fact When I came to Brussels in 2010 as EU Commissioner, 🇪🇺had the same nominal GDP as 🇺🇸; now, it is significantly lower, while 🇨🇳 has caught up to it. EU income per person is 70% of America’s & the gap is widening @KGeorgieva

I keep seeing the same pattern: capital goes where taxes are lower, rules are clearer, and setting up is less of a bureaucratic sport. Hardly a mystery.
Lone Star State is now home to the most Fortune 500 companies, dethroning California as the capital of the Fortune 500. The state’s 57 Fortune 500 companies ranked roughly $2.8 trillion in renevue last year, compared to California’s 56 businesses and roughly $2.7 trillion revenue. New York comes in third with 53 companies and $2.2 trillion.
In recent years, Texas’anti-regulation and low tax policies have attracted companies including Tesla, McKesson, and Oracle to move their home bases to the state. Still, Texas remains second to the Golden State when it comes to profits and market value.
The state has long been home to Fortune 500 staples such as Dell Technologies, Exxon, and AT&T, and the companies span across the state. Houston is home to 25 Fortune companies such as Chevron, Sysco, and Phillips 66. Dallas is home to 11 companies, including AT&T and CBRE Group. The capital, Austin, which has emerged as a major tech and finanicial hub is home to just two Fortune 500 companies: Tesla and Oracle.
