@PresidencyZA @CyrilRamaphosa You're a fcukin embarrassment to humanity

President @CyrilRamaphosa arrives at the Ummbila Emoyeni Wind Energy Facility in Bethal, Mpumalanga, where he will officiate the commencement of commercial operations. The facility stands as a tangible example of investment delivering real outcomes for South Africans through infrastructure development, employment opportunities and sustainable economic growth. #InvestSA #AWorkingNation

Switzerland has 26 cantons, each with its own constitution, tax rates, and laws, and the result is one of the wealthiest, most stable countries on earth. That is not a coincidence. You want to understand why Swiss GDP per capita sits around $92,000 while the EU average hovers near $37,000? Start here. Cantons compete for residents and businesses the same way firms compete for customers. Zug kept its corporate tax rate at roughly 11.9%, attracted commodity traders and crypto firms, and watched its population and tax revenues grow. Cantons that taxed aggressively lost mobile capital and productive citizens to neighbors with lighter burdens. This is Tiebout competition working in real life, not a textbook diagram. The federal government in Bern handles defense, monetary policy, and some foreign affairs. Everything else defaults downward. Cantons set income taxes. Communes set property levies. Citizens in Appenzell Innerrhoden voted on local laws by a show of hands in the Landsgemeinde, an open-air assembly, until 1990 for most matters. The feedback loop between decision-makers and the people paying for those decisions stays tight. That tightness disciplines spending in ways no central auditor ever will. Free market thinkers have stressed this for generations: political units must be small enough that exit is credible. When the cost of leaving a bad jurisdiction drops, politicians face real consequences for bad policy. Switzerland kept that cost low by design. A business or family in Basel-Stadt dissatisfied with cantonal policy drives forty minutes to Baselland. No visa. No language barrier. No bureaucratic labyrinth. Just a move. The EU spent decades building the opposite architecture, consolidating regulatory power in Brussels and eliminating the jurisdictional diversity that forces governments to stay honest. Switzerland refused to join. Its per-capita wealth, its low public debt, and its functional civil society arrived because the Swiss preserved the one institutional feature every centralized state destroys first: the credible right to leave.

Yep. 🎯

🚨BREAKING: English football legend Harry Redknapp has spoken out on the illegal migrant invasion of Europe: "They're all young blokes. Where are the women? They know this is the land of milk and honey. We're getting overrun."

@eurofounder 😂😂

It’s officially over for America

@ConCaracal Very good! But the subtitles aren't very accurate i.e. Carter deployment, be (BEE) etc.

They told us immigrants were doctors and engineers - they weren’t. They told us immigrants were refugees and evacuees - they weren’t. They told us immigrants were women and children - they’re not. It’s been lie after lie upon lie.

Do you still think politics do not affect you? 🤨 The City of Johannesburg cannot purchase printing materials for its licensing department; as a result, services are suspended. This means you cannot get your learner's license, driver's license, or renew your license. 🗳️ Let’s get Johannesburg working for all. Register to vote now: check.da.org.za

@vercingetorics He is rebuilding

Ace Magaahule, former ANC Free State chairman, former Premier and former ANC Secretary General now wants to be the mayor of an indistinguishable and inconsequential backwater called Ngwathe. How the mighty have fallen!

@Michael54863926 Long swim to Spain

FYI - Ceuta is not on the Spanish mainland. It is attached to Morocco with a border fence. Morocco formally maintains its claim over the Spanish city of Ceuta, viewing it as occupied territory & a remnant of colonialism.

@USAmbRSA @Dotransport Make sure you reserve 30% for ANC cadres

Great meeting with @Dotransport Minister Creecy. The opportunities are ripe to strengthen our commercial ties in rail and aviation. U.S. companies bring best-in-class solutions to get people and goods moving faster, cheaper, and more efficiently.

🚓 South Africa still doesn’t have a permanent Police Minister. @CyrilRamaphosa, it’s about time this important position is filled. You’re dragging your feet. We need a competent person appointed ASAP. @IanCameron23 what do you think about this situation?
