@bowtiedstocks The institutions are captured but a lot of us don't. I'm actively looking into setting up my medical education business overseas rather than here.

Some very valid concerns being raised here But if my anecdotal experience is anything to go by - a lot of medical professionals vote Labor / left

@bowtiedstocks I am of the reluctant opinion that property crashes upwards and the currency crashes downwards. When Money Dies..Adam Fergusson style.

If you are leveraged long resi propadee with high debt I recommend you read the great book The Landboomers Sharp price falls and then underwater for effectively 70 years And it all happened to Aussie propadee An educational gift for many of you that think ‘propadee number just go up’

@kikiruncha @SantiagoAuFund Have you been to Australia mate in the last 15 years? Do you think our standard of living is better? Housing affordability, cost of living, jobs market, AUDUSD from 1.10 to 0.69? Let's not get started on Europe which has become an utter shithole.

@SantiagoAuFund On top how exactly? You think in monetary and macro terms; i think in terms of standard of living...and in that sense Americans are not "on top" and the relative collapse is intensifying

People Are Losing Their Minds

@DerekAr26402107 @SantiagoAuFund We are facing a massive deleveraging, deflationary event. USD shorts were extremely short USD up until recently. We are about to see the next DXY move to >120 and quick.

If we can't mine our coal and iron ore, China loses up to 60% of its iron ore imports and 10-20% of its coal imports. Let's not even get into the obvious elephant in the room, the global short positions on USD. I laugh when I hear people thinking the US is losing power @SantiagoAuFund

If u are 5 pages deep into a piece you are planning to post on twitter detailing why the US & USD are about to fail bc the Pentagon doesn't realize Iran has mountains & air craft carriers are obsolete, just stop. You are not unique, not edgy & not contrarian. You are mainstream.

@cjoye Your interview on Karl Stefanovic podcast was exceptional. Thank you.

Irrespective of the final landing point, we could be staring down the barrel of at least 100-150 basis points of rate increases this cycle unless there is a relatively rapid resolution of the Middle East conflict. That will be devastating for borrowers and interest rate-sensitive sectors, including, obviously, real estate. It will drive a substantial increase in defaults and insolvencies across the board. Indeed, a global tightening cycle is likely to transpire over the next 12-24 months. Last year this column criticised markets for pricing in a zero per cent possibility of rate increases in the US over the next three years. Traders now think that there is a 65 per cent chance the Fed lifts rates in 2026. afr.com/markets/equity…

@rationalaussie Is there a decentralised investment tool that operates 24/7 globally that could prosper in such as scenario of UBI?

I do wonder if, once we get energy lockdowns, there is a global, coordinated push to end the five day, 9-5 work week. It's retarded anyway. Half the population does BS jobs that are not needed and will shortly be taken by AI. How's the government gonna respond to that? My bet is they roll out UBI with printed currency with conditions attached (you only get the fiat shitcoins if you help us build out factories for the war, or robots for the AI companies, or grid/energy infrastructure). But also, they may enforce a 4 day work week or something like that. Just like covid ushered in work from home changes. What makes me say this? It's the dual combo of energy crisis plus AI about to massively impact the laptop class. The social situation will be completely untenable.

@MV33Statpad Let’s void Bahrain 2021 also for the same reasons. It’s important that track limit rules are followed.

There are many other drivers who have complained. Sainz, Leclerc, Norris, Bearman, Perez, Alo, Max, the whole lot. If we can't have an opinion based on AD'21 last lap, which is insane, let's also talk about lap 1 or not pitting under the first VSC. Void the AD'21 race entirely.

@solo_dio_ What was the name of the older gentleman on here who predicted this and sadly passed away 3-4 years ago? His name is on the top of my tongue.

@MBrundleF1 "The pinnacle of motorsport" Mate, my two door Volkswagen Polo doesn't need me to slow down so that I can harvest the battery LOL Verstappen with the truth as usual.

Despite all the doubts and high level criticism about F1 2026 I’m totally relaxed after day one of action. The cars look great and very lively, and the drivers heroic whilst wrestling significantly lower grip, and I’m confident it’s going to be a competitive and unpredictable season.

@Brady_H Is the real question here...are stimulants performance enhancing drugs?

Runners (half-marathon, marathon, and ultra) have a higher prevalence of ADHD (~10%) compared to the general population (~3%). Surprised?

@Cernovich And despite all this, during this time @Cernovich gave away his masterclass for free during Covid19. For free. What a patriot and a legend.

Tech / VC guy don't understand. There is a lot of bad blood. MAGA was censored and left to die. The only reason, in my view, Silicon Valley "changed" was because of a fear of a wealth tax. But let's assume good faith. Here's why I don't want to hear, "Get over it." Imagine you make a film, you list your film on Amazon the way every other company does. Then someone inside Amazon doesn't like you, they ban the film, and they won't even tell a member of Congress who calls asking why. Now you can't raise funds for a film. You can't do basic business. Everything I did came with a uncertainty, well beyond what people deal with in ordinary business. No one in Tech or VC reached out to me when that happened and asked to help. No one offered to call Bezos and see what was up. The view was that people like me would lose. I was left to die. That choice was made by other people. Meanwhile Mark Zuckerberg and Silicon Valley gave 4 billion dollars to Democrats and funded Ro Khanna. No one has given me a dollar. No one ever reached out to help me with a film. No one ever asked, "Want to write a check for my fund?" No one cut me into deal flow. These were choices made by Tech and VC. Not by me. By them. Then Tech and VC saw that a wealth tax was inevitable. Then they went MAGA. And people like me are supposed to do what? Weep with joy? Be grateful? For what? "Be more positive," some say. Why? Why should I trust any of the newcomers? Because you don't want a wealth tax? Cool, but I paid a wealth tax already - and then some. I was down to my 401k. Wondering if I would go bankrupt. Not because I made bad business movies. My projects had huge market demand. It was due to attacks against me and censorship by Big Tech. (This was pre-Rumble, and pre-Spotify taking a stand against cancel culture. I could have sold my movie on Shopify and more than exceeded the lost revenue from Amazon.) Rich guys can get taxed to death. Why should I care? Because you'll leave for Singapore or something? Are you 5? Are you going to hold your breath until you turn blue, too? This emotional black mail stuff doesn't work on me. And I speak for a lot of people. You didn't care about us. Now we don't care about you. Where are the big checks being written to the right? We know how much was given to the left? By the way, I don't want a check. The time to invest in me was 2017-2021. I could have used it and would have been grateful. It was actually incredibility stupid and short-sighted to leave me to die. I figured out some other business stuff, got my wife kids taken care of, so whatever. If Newsom wins in 2028, I'll go to zero. But my family is set up now, I don't even need money for anything other than making my movies. People who don't like this message? Well, you could have been a friend when people needed it. Other choices were made. The hostility you get is earned. It's not on me or anyone else to "mend the fence," as the attacks on me were done by you / them. It's up to the people to find a way to make it right. Or not. Nobody has to do anything. That's for sure.
