Accidentally shuffled on to this song in my archive. It's from 1987 and sums up exactly how I feel right now. Save me, save me from tomorrow. I don't want to sail with this ship of fools. youtu.be/ZHh0V7UjVXI

China's economy is built on the backs of the Chinese people. This model is unsustainable, harmful, and could produce rapid decline. Read more in Tom Duesterberg's expert analysis below. hudson.org/economics/how-…

With all the content I’m seeing about BEE, I’m becoming increasingly concerned that an artificial narrative is being constructed around BEE and transformation in South Africa. I’m NOT saying it’s wrong to criticise BEE policy, I AM saying we should never forget Bell Pottinger.

@BiancavanWyk16 Why put "race laws" in brackets Bianca? Do you have a problem when laws that specifically invoke race as a factor determining access or denial are labelled clearly? The SA economy is hemorrhaging at a catastrophic rate due entirely to archaic economic ideology.

So the IMF “BEE quote” is originally from the organisation where the “race laws” list guy is Head of Policy. I am shocked … not.😅

@ClaysonMonyela @Ayesha_Bagus @IMFNews @BDliveSA Appears it was @FMFSouthAfrica rather than @IMFNews Clayson - Report published June '25. @BDliveSA needs to double check its letters & opinions, prior to publication, in terms of their source data/refs... ✨ freemarketfoundation.com/the-costs-of-b…

Fails to mention that the BD X account firstly posted the link to the letter as a headline stating the erroneous figure, and then deleted that post and replaced it with another that linked to the letter.
Business Day@BDliveSA

On March 18, Business Day carried a letter from a reader titled “BEE’s steep economic cost”. The letter included an estimate that was incorrectly attributed to the IMF. The letter, and associated social media, has been removed. Read the full statement. ebx.sh/qVgz1A

@marwai_siseko @RediTlhabi @IMFNews No, I'm saying that they should link to the methods that they use to calculate the graph. Doing this requires a very complex equation, I'm sure they have one - but it should be disclosed.

Since you published this yesterday, I searched @IMFNews and found no such report. I called 2 very senior friends at the IMF, and they found nothing. So what you wrote below is a letter from a reader, but you wrote it as a headline and research by the IMF? Why? I have also learnt that you have now deleted this post. Again, why?

@Dsilkotch @richimedhurst The Iranian regime went to war with the USA when it seized the U.S. embassy in 1979. It continued that war by killing 2,000 Americans via IEDs and proxies. It opens sessions of its parliament by chanting "Death to America." Enough!

The problem with this whole narrative of "did Iran pose a threat?" and "did they have nukes?" is that it doesn't matter. No answer justifies what Israel and America are doing. Deprogram your mind from this bullshit thinking.

Been a week and a half and @AvoSuperShop don’t reply to emails anymore or tweets and they don’t have a contact number so can’t phone them. PSA: don’t buy from them EVER, spend your @Nedbank greenbacks somewhere else
Ronelle Hendriks@RonelleHendriks

Don’t ever shop on @AvoSuperShop - they took over R4100 worth of my Greenbacks on my 1st order, they cancelled my order because they ‘didn’t receive it’, said it will be automatically refunded within 24h, it’s been 4 days and I still don’t have my greenbacks back. @Nedbank

@Arfness No I’m not. But I do deal with CoCs a lot. If you are in the Cape Town Northern Suburbs, I can send you the detail of the sparkie I’ve used for a number of years. DM me.

Is this acceptable for an electrical CoC in Cape Town?

Imagine saying this with a straight face when the Iranian government has killed over 30,000 of their own citizens, allows children as young as 9 into forced marriages and allows women to be flogged or executed publicly for breaking the "law". We have some sick people in RSA.
Andrew Fraser@Arfness

I live for the looks on the faces of some of my peers when they discover that, actually, the USA may not have been the good guys all along. Others still can't grasp this.
