In my latest article, I say there's a limit to how close to the "Bottom Of The Pyramid" Fintech can get, unless and until it understands all the ways cash becomes the increasingly better product for users at lower income and education levels.

I saw a lot of otherwise intelligent people claim that anything Trump didn't do in his first term, he wouldn't do in his second, and so anyone warning about new dangers was an alarmist and a fear monger.
As if you don't know how second terms - with no re-election fears - work.
Both options are OK.
Young ones starting out, understand this: whether you choose to live with your parents, or move to a pad like this, some people will mock you.
Ignore. It's your wallet and your freedoms.
Do what gets you to your goals with the compromise you're more OK with.
I find it particularly amusing when I see specific people who have insisted that Nigerians voted against their interests in 2015, 2019, and 2023, now turn around and say it's patronising to say Americans voted against their interests in 2024.
Ah only 1 group can be foolish?

In the US, while Immigration falls under Fed jurisdiction, States have a right to pass laws governing whether or not State agencies cooperate in enforcing those laws. This is why California can have a "Sanctuary State Law" (the California Trust Act) prohibiting such assistance.

This is in part because a lot of left-leaning kids stayed home. Don't let anyone tell you Gaza wasn't a factor. They're lying.
Referring to *generalised* "principles of Federalism" is irrelevant IF the law, doctrine, and habit in this *specific federation* contradicts them.
The US is replete with examples where States enforce State law against Federal law or policy. Abortion. Medical Marijuana.

1. The question put to the Governor wasnt about federal law (you've added that), but about *requests* from the FG for assistance. (which states can *legally* accept or deny).
2. Governor spoke about staying within the law, including passing State Law:

I think the party of "states rights" shouldn't have a problem with that.

Did you see any picture of Trump in this mode?
Ask yourself why it only matters to you for her, and not him.
I enjoyed giving this interview.
At @54collective_vc we know what the best African founders know: a lot of the global best practice advice about building product and startups doesn't quite match the realities of most African markets.
We help you build in that reality.

There's a rabid "debate" in my mentions, with people insisting that:
1. Trump's family was everywhere
2. Harris's family wasn't.
In arguing this lie, you people are saying family pics, not policy, are the important thing.
I thought you said Dems were the ones doing vibes?
