Braaibroodjie Index Update: Some boring stuff first, then we get into the January 2025 numbers! TLDR, a braaibroodjie now costs R20.45 to make. Over the last couple of weeks I've made a few changes to the Index. The main change is that I'm moving away from Stats SA as my main source. I'm now using the average cost of the ingredients from three retailers. There were a couple of limitations when using Stats SA, for example, they didn't have pepper or butter in their sub indices. Now that I can include it, I've also made adjustments to the weights of the underlying ingredients. This will give a far more accurate view of the actual price of the commodity. Another advantage of this method is that I can deliver the Index during the 1st week of a new month, instead of waiting 3 weeks for Stats SA to publish their numbers. The downside is that when I publish the monthly numbers, we won't have the official CPI data to compare it with - there will always be a lag of a month. During Jan 2025, the actual price of a braaibroodjie rose by +0.3% to R20.45 (from R20.39 previously). This was due to a 2.1% increase in Tomatoes and a 3.3% increase in Onions. If you have any thoughts/questions, please let me know!

this is the final nail in the japanese birth rate coffin

Wow

@davideborall I have not found good use for Gemini yet. I think once they work it out it should be the most used AI on Earth. Who wouldn't love a smart AI helping deal with emails, file storage and sheets & docs that could train on your Drives and email history? Definitely not workable yet.

Existing software wasn’t built for the AI world. Here is Gemini and Gmail. It can see the emails I’ve received today. This is a simple query! So much has to be re-engineered and rewritten. Makes you think about the longevity of network effects that have been built.

Our case chiefly targets two outcomes: 1.) Rollback the overly broad definition of “property practitioner” in section 1 of the Act. This would free the majority of property-related businesses from their unnecessary inclusion in the scope of the legislation. 2.) Protect thousands of businesses from unjustified pressure to provide BEE certificates. This would prevent huge wasted costs in BEE certification and block the PPRA from subjecting Fidelity Fund certificates to the unrelated matter of BEE certification.

US CPI as expected, but “core” inflation is down. The FED likes core, as it excludes energy & food – ie things you need to buy. Futures up strongly. Probably helped further by cooler UK inflation. We're all going to cut! - apparently.

@GTalevi Gauteng has 16m people and Western Cape is under R8m. Not disputing that service delivery is better in Cape Town, just point out that exactly where you draw the Joburg lines, it excludes a massive amount of people.

This is something to chew on:

Just uploaded a video where we helped 2,000 amputees walk again. Many lived in America and it feels so disgusting that in a country with this much wealth, a fucken YouTuber is their only option to get a prosthetic leg. We need to fix this.

Price floors and ceilings disrupt the orderly operation of markets. The impact of Milei’s dismantling of rent control in Buenos Aires were stunning: supply of rental properties more than doubled and real rents fell 40%. Despite the mountain of evidence of the damage caused by price controls, California continues its path to ruin through senseless policies. The fires in LA are yet another example. State laws prevent insurers from raising premiums high enough to cover increasing wildfire risks and rising reinsurance rates—so some, including State Farm and AllState, have simply stopped selling policies. In Orwellian fashion, these are labeled as “consumer protection” laws, yet have the opposite effect: consumers are harmed and left uninsured because of market failure.

The local market is currently pricing in 1, maybe 2, cuts for the year ahead.

@BenJordaan2 Scope creep all the way.

Doing my SARS income tax returns for the first time since e-filing was updated. SARS now forces you to capture: 1. Who all of your shareholders are and their personal details; 2. Your beneficial owners and their personal details. What are your thoughts on this? Who is this information for? What does it have to do with paying your tax?
