The responses to this thread is why India will NEVER become a respected nation.

Look at how a genuine question about infrastructure is being met with taunts and mockery.

[Nikhil | നിഖിൽ | निखिल | ನಿಖಿಲ್ @nikhilnarayanan]

What’s the eligibility criteria to criticise Bengaluru’s broken infrastructure without being asked to go back to Kerala? Asking for myself. :/

@Dank_jetha Actually Kingfischer is the best beer I've had.

This is such a horrible heartbreaking story.

🇬🇧 Henry Nowak’s father speaks after his son's killer is jailed for 21 years

"When police arrived, Henry was lying on the floor, barely able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress.

Henry told officers that he could not breathe nine times.

He told them he had been stabbed four times.

The response from one officer was, 'I don't think you have, mate.'

Henry was pulled across the gravel, his hands forced behind his back, and he was placed in handcuffs.

Instead of being treated as a dying victim, police formally arrested Henry for assault and read him his rights.

That was the last thing he heard."

"I CAN'T BREATHE"

The final words of Henry Nowak, a student, just 18 years have been revealed

A Sikh had stabbed him

When a police officer attended the scene he arrested Henry because the Sikh man said he was racist

Henry died handcuffed as he bled out in the street

When Henry told the officer he had been stabbed

The Policeman told Henry "I don't think you have mate"

I have no words

It is the day after #GigglevTickle and I haven’t woken up believing that men can be women. You can try & punish me for not believing it, but you can never make me believe it.

Men cannot be women.

[Jennifer Sey @JenniferSey]

.@salltweets has been ordered to pay $120,000 to a man who says he is a woman -- all for daring to call him a man and not allowing him to join her female-only social media app.

As Sall said yesterday, the message being sent to women and girls is "don't speak up. Don't fight back. Don't challenge us. You will be punished." I refuse to heed that warning.

If you want to help Sall, please consider donating to her crowdfund. (Link in next tweet.)

I will personally donate 10% of sales from @xx_xyathletics this weekend to Sall's crowdfund.

I stand with Sall.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.

If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.

If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.

If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Every country or jurisdiction that has actually examined the evidence for paediatric gender medicine, seriously and rigorously, has changed course.

Different healthcare systems. Different political landscapes. All reaching the same conclusion: this experiment cannot be allowed to continue.

17 systematic reviews have all concluded that the evidence for this treatment protocol is low to very low quality.

And yet Canada’s federal and provincial governments — with the exception of Alberta — still fail to act.

The time for looking the other way is over.

Indeed, the very fact that Canada has looked away for so long is a national disgrace.

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital.

Cette phrase change tout.

L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ?

Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible.

Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur.

Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé.

Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire.

L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants.

Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution.

Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain.

Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée.

Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien.

La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose.

Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins.

Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires.

La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

This is what a year in Australia looks like give or take:

Revenue: $733B
Spending: $778B
Deficit: ~$45B

Biggest costs:
Welfare $235B
Health $114B
Education $98B
Defence $62B

Other major costs:
Interest on debt $47B
NDIS ~$37B
Transport & infrastructure $56B
Other programs/services $68B

Bond market (cost of money):
AU 10Y: ~4.97%
AU 30Y: ~5.35%

We spend ~$106 for every $100 we earn.
We all know that you can’t keep spending more than you bring in without dire consequences.

[Mark Bouris @markbouris]

This sort of worries the hell out of me! No wonder productivity is low. Not blaming those employed in the public sector because the govt creates these jobs but this stat is not sustainable.

We shouldn’t criticise govt workers from this stat but we should critically examine how elected officials have built this moat around themselves.

I am sure many govt workers would take a job in the private sector if offered . They just want a purpose and be appreciated for what they do like everyone else. We are not heading in the right direction as a nation. When we have such a large portion on the government payroll it means that taxes have to be high to pay for those jobs , including the hidden taxes all of us pay to make this experiment work.

Let’s be the most innovative, creative, hard working and productive nation on the planet and pay less tax on the way so that we can have a standard of living that grows year after year! Instead of going backwards.

And let’s be the happiest and healthiest nation in the world and measure that yearly as well!

Relieved to learn that President Trump, the First Lady and Vice President are safe and unharmed following the recent security incident at a Washington DC hotel. I extend my best wishes for their continued safety and well-being. Violence has no place in a democracy and must be unequivocally condemned.
