Here's some fuel for all the Europoor haters: Germany just told us we'd have to fire one of our 3 founders to qualify for funding. I was in talks with a German state-backed fund of fund managing billions, with one single mandate: invest in German funds to drive innovation and economic growth in the country. They literally told me they like us a lot and are also impressed by our track record and performance so far, and even though not everyone in their team is a fan of our thesis, they believe in it. But they passed for a whole different reason: Because our all-male team of 3 people isn't "diverse enough" lol. they literally told me: hire two more female partners (impossible on the economics of a fund our size), or let one of the three of us go to make room for a quota hire. do that, and they'd strongly consider investing. I won't even get into how discriminatory this is toward men in the first place. nobody takes that seriously anyway, and honestly I don't care. but what actually gets me is something bigger: as a German, I have to face the fact that the whole world continuing to laugh at Germany and overall Europe is completely justified. a system that quietly kills the smallest, hungriest teams, the exact ones this money was created to support. and then everyone acts surprised that talent and capital keep leaving the country.

I actually liked Israel. But the minute I ever said anything critical, I was called a Jew hater, said to be obsessed with “the joos,” and privately sent threats. So they lost me. I am not anti- but overall sick of it all.
What's weird is how "normalized" this was to Americans. I'm a half Egyptian guy who has always been critical of Israel - not nearly to the extent I am now, but I had a critical view - and I don't recall realizing how weird this was. In retrospect this culture of radical, fawning, proud deference, couched in terms of manly patriotism, was completely bizarre. We're the super power, our leaders shouldn't talk like this about any country, much less a tiny and economically inconsequential one.

With all due respect, you need much to learn about oil and gas fundamentals before you spout off, and you do way too much of that at your young and inexperienced age. Oil prices react to oil market fundamentals not market sell offs, just as an example.

The Iran War is the greatest political blunder in the last two decades at least. A catastrophically stupid decision. An unforgivable betrayal of America First principles.

BREAKING: 🇺🇦 Devastating footage is coming out from Kyiv tonight where a torture basement was discovered “One has a broken spine, the second can no longer speak. One has his intestines hanging out of his abdomen. Everything is covered in blood.” An underground TCC prison has been discovered in Kyiv. People abducted from the streets are tortured, killed(!), by the Ukrainian National Guard. They are constantly beaten and held in inhumane conditions. Protests have erupted now. @anatoliisharii

He's 14 years old. He was beaten with a shovel and raped by Zelenskyy's henchmen in a basement. Then they ransomed him to his family. Zelenskyy is a corrupt, sick fcker. teapaw.org/anatoliisharii/status/…

Found torture sites with 8th graders, dead bodies of missing men, mobilization dungeons, then opened fire on protesters. These optics are not survivable.
Zelensky’s Gestapo are shooting at protesters outraged at the discovery of torture black sites

A torture chamber of Zelensky was uncovered near Kiev, where over 40 mobilised men were held captive by Ukraine's National Guard. The youngest victim was reportedly just 14 years old. There is now great outrage and riots in Ukraine against the henchmen of Zelensky and NATO.

Yikes. They played their game with the oil market today, congrats. Now the chickens come home to roost.
The last chance is gone, according to some sources negotiations have completely failed.

🇺🇦REVOLUTION IN KYIV! I will now explain what, according to the information currently available, is happening right now in Kyiv, Ukraine. I urge @elonmusk Elon Musk, as well as all journalists, reporters, and bloggers, to help bring the truth to the attention of the world! Activists and citizens claim that they have discovered a private house in Kyiv where Zelensky’s authorities, as well as representatives of the leadership of the National Guard and the Azov unit, are illegally holding approximately forty men. According to eyewitness accounts, people are being tortured and beaten there, and money is being demanded from their families in exchange for their release. Throughout the entire day, the police and other law enforcement agencies, which are under the control of the authorities, refused to ensure the release of the people from this illegal detention. Later, more and more Ukrainians began arriving at the building. People attempted to storm it, demanding the immediate release of those being held inside. Then several men were successfully freed from the captivity of the Ukrainian authorities: the men had their ribs broken and their eyes gouged out; they had been blinded. Witnesses also claim that, in front of other prisoners and detainees, as an act of intimidation, one person was killed — executed. Over the past month, eight Ukrainians who did not want to be sent back to the war were killed there. They were officially registered as missing, and their bodies were buried in a forest near Kyiv. Their families are being given false information about their disappearance on the front line. Later, the Head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Budanov, arrived at the scene. According to those present, his position provoked outrage among the citizens, who were demanding the release of the people. Budanov sided with those holding people captive. After that, Budanov stated that similar places where Ukrainians are illegally detained exist not only at this address but also in other regions of the country. He knows about this and considers it normal. Then a 14-year-old child was discovered in the house who, according to eyewitness testimony, had been subjected to brutal torture and beaten with a shovel. In the video, the child is in a state of severe shock. After this, according to reports from participants in the events, unknown individuals wearing balaclavas arrived at the scene and began beating the protesters — these are the authorities’ gangs, which arrived as soon as Budanov fled the scene. In addition, eyewitnesses report power and internet outages throughout the entire district, as well as the use of electronic warfare equipment. According to them, all of this may have been intended to prevent information about the events from spreading. Emergency medical personnel who took part in the release of the prisoners stated that they are being threatened with death. The world must know the truth. The United States, Europe, and international human rights organizations cannot ignore such allegations and continue supporting Zelensky.

Marc Andreessen revealed how Harvard Business School was built on a broken 1941 theory, and how it's now collapsing... Andreessen co-founded Netscape in 1994 and a16z in 2009. He has sat on Meta's board since 2008. He has spent 30 years backing founders and watching managerial CEOs lose to them. The pattern traces back to one book: James Burnham's The Machiavellians (1941). Burnham argued every great company had been founder-run. Henry Ford ran Ford. Bob Noyce ran Intel. Today, Elon Musk runs Tesla, SpaceX, and Starlink. Then, he said, something broke. Between the 1880s and the 1920s, a new philosophy replaced the founder. It was called managerialism. The professional manager would now hold a portable skill, usable across any business. The consequences were: - Harvard Business School - Stanford Business School - Management as a universal skill - The 1970s conglomerate "That assumes the managers are going to do a good job," Andreessen says. For 30 years, they haven't. Managers can run something static, he says. Soup is soup. A bank is a bank. A car is a car. But when the industry changes, the manager freezes. Look at SpaceX. "Imagine being a professionally trained manager, trained at a top management school, working for a rocket launch company, competing with SpaceX." Then Elon's rockets started landing on their butt. "Your management skills ... what good are they at that point?" Andreessen's conclusion: "You're much more likely to build something important in the 21st century if you start with the founder and train them on management."

Apeluję do Prezydenta RP, by zaraz po spotkaniu z liderami sił parlamentarnych, jako Zwierzchnik Sił Zbrojnych, wezwał do Pałacu Prezydenckiego generałów Wojska Polskiego w celu obalenia tego rządu i przywrócenia porządku konstytucyjnego.
