The difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money costs less.

With the declaration of 2026 Local Government Elections, my term as the Executive Mayor of the City of Tshwane has ended.
Thank you, residents of Tshwane.
You were patient as we began the process of turning around a broken city. We have laid a solid foundation for rebuilding the Capital City 🇿🇦.
Thank you for trusting us with your households and for never chasing us away from your communities.
My love and commitment to the people Tshwane is unwavering.
ActionSA’s Tshwane caucus is ready to camp in all communities to ensure that services are delivered.

No economist has ever explained the trap of being poor better than Terry Pratchett's boots theory.
A wealthy man buys a $200 pair of boots that lasts ten years.
A poor man can only afford $40 boots that leak after six months, so he spends $800 over the same ten years and still has wet feet.
Poverty isn't just a lack of money.
It's a continuous subscription fee for not having capital up front.

Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti.
Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités.
Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU.
Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire.
Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années.
Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects.
Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève.
La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ».
Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ?
A bon entendeur.

Thank you for the long essay you googled, copied and pasted.
Now go read up on Municipalities and their economic model.
I will give you a head start… you pay for services like refuse removal & sewage directly to the municipality to get those services. The rich / middle class households subsidise the indigent households.
You can’t tax households in municipalities & not give those properties services. They need to be prioritised because if they aren’t… ratepayers can take municipal managers to court to be prosecuted
Do you go to Checkers, pay them & walk out empty handed?
Why does the middle class believe they are the only ones funding government services? Poor South Africans are taxpayers too! Every time they purchase VAT-taxable goods and services, they contribute to government revenue. They may not pay personal income tax or property rates, but that does not mean they contribute nothing to the economy. Let’s also remember that many poor people are unemployed not because they are lazy, but because our economy has failed to create enough opportunities. Poverty does not take away anyone’s right to basic services.
The middle class contributes more through certain taxes, but that does not give them exclusive ownership of public resources. Government revenue belongs to the public, not to one economic class. And let’s be clear,VAT is a national tax, while municipalities rely heavily on rates, service charges and other revenue sources. Both levels of government have responsibilities towards citizens. The real question should be why we are fighting among ourselves over who deserves service delivery instead of demanding accountability from those managing public money. The poor are not the enemy of the middle class. Corruption, unemployment, inequality and poor governance are the challenges we should be fighting together. We did not fight for democracy so that basic services could become a privilege reserved for those who earn more. South Africa belongs to all of us!!

MeToo "pioneer" MIT scientist who drove a professor to the brink of su*cide with false r*pe allegations after he broke up with her, told him she wanted to feel like she was "gang r*ped."
Professor David Sabatini has been awarded $6M after his former colleague, Dr. Kristin Knouse, defamed him with completely false allegations.
The MeToo community praised Knouse when she came out with her allegations.
Sabatini's entire career was destroyed by the false allegations as his colleagues all rushed to defend the woman who lied about him.
He also tried taking his own life by hanging himself, according to the Daily Mail.
Newly released texts reveal that Knouse, 38, was the one who pursued Sabatini, 58, and it wasn't until he left her for another woman that she accused him of r*pe.
After the breakup, she texted a friend that he was going to get "Weinstein-ed out of science."
"My lawyers and I are out for blood... prison is what he should get," she said.
She praised how "hopelessly defeated, beyond the violence stage," he was after his career was ruined.
But text messages show that Knouse pursued him and sent him graphic texts.
"I can't wait to wake up tomorrow and feel like I've been gang r*ped," she said in one text message.
Knouse accused Sabatini of making her feel "scared" by his advances, but evidence showed that *she* aggressively pursued him.
When he decided to pursue a different scientist, Knouse ended his career with false accusations.
Sabatini's entire life was destroyed by the woke mob. They fired him from the Whitehead Institute and MIT, and erased his name from papers.
She purposely left key evidence and text messages out when handing over information to investigators that would have proved Sabatini was innocent.
She should never see the outside of a prison cell.

Let me tell you a story about how unethical Anthropic is.
In April, the Anthropic team began heavily courting our engineering team to tell them corporate secrets, technical details, and future plans for @cfosilvia.
They pretended their interest was due to our exploding popularity and accelerating compute usage, but it quickly became apparent that Anthropic was fishing for details on how we built our product and why it was so popular.
This included the Anthropic team trying to wine-and-dine our engineers, including a infamous steak dinner where someone told our team "don't worry about it, this is on Dario."
Our team was not born yesterday, so we quickly realized what was happening and refused to share sensitive information and technical details with the Anthropic team.
As we suspected, Anthropic was trying to get information from us, so they could build a competing product. Some people on their team must have a guilty conscious because they messaged us a few days ago to give us "a heads-up" that they were launching a competing product.
Thankfully, the Silvia engineering team has been aggressively working to get off the frontier models for the last ~ 6 months. That effort has been highly successful, because our compute costs are ~ 97% lower when we use our own model & hardware, the latency is lower, and the accuracy of answers materially increases as well.
The sad thing for Anthropic is they have now released an inferior product and they had to sell their soul to do it.
The only thing worse than being a trillion-dollar company that can't beat a 10-person team is being a trillion-dollar company that no one trusts and everyone knows is unethical.
Serious investors continue to choose @cfosilvia over ChatGPT, Claude, and other frontier companies because these products are not optimized to solve the actual user problem.
Today, Anthropic launched a Claude wrapper that is masquerading as a personal finance product. Best of luck to them.
But I will take the Silvia misfits vs the Anthropic losers any day of the week.
if you want to support people trying to do things the right way, and help investors be more informed, then consider signing up for Silvia today: silvia.com

There are millions of Nasiphi’s in South Africa. They just need to be given an opportunity.
ActionSA doesn’t run experiments. We allow our people to do their work and serve all residents.
We want to create a new culture of politics in which we take sits to serve, not to be served.
Watch the space.
