@RayDalio That’s good but there also needs to be room for diversity and contrarian views. How do you ensure that?

Remember that your goal is to put the right people in the right design. First understand the responsibilities of the role and the qualities needed to fulfill them, then ascertain whether an individual has them. When you're doing this well, there should almost be an audible "click" as the person you're hiring fits into his or her role. #principleoftheday

Love the idea of let’s lead not leave. Much more constructive.

Like the vast majority of Albertans, I’m both a proud Canadian, and a proud Albertan. We are a smart, hard working, innovative and loyal people. Those who went before us built one of the most prosperous and generous societies on Earth. And we’re not going to let anyone tear apart our home, the true North strong and free. It’s time to fight for our country. Alberta: let’s lead, not leave. votetostay.ca/about/

@MaximeBernier While I don’t think over centralized governance is great, I don’t believe separating or threatening to separate helps Alberta or Canada. It hasn’t helped Quebec IMO. Wish we could all be more stronger Canadian and help all provinces flourish. We are the envy of the world

HERE IS THE QUESTION ALBERTANS WILL ANSWER ON OCTOBER 19:
“Should Alberta remain a province of Canada or should the Government of Alberta commence the legal process required under the Canadian Constitution to hold a binding provincial referendum on whether or not Alberta should separate from Canada?”
Poilievre said Thursday that his party will campaign for Alberta to stay in Canada:
“I want a strong Alberta within a united Canada, and all Conservatives will be campaigning for Canadian unity in Alberta.”
If the “Remain” option wins, it means nothing changes. That's what @PierrePoilievre supports. He will work with the Liberals and promote the status quo: Ottawa’s centralizing vision.
On the contrary, voting to start the legal process to organize a referendum on secession is the only way to have a “strong Alberta”.
This vote will launch genuine negotiations for greater autonomy for Alberta. It will put a knife to the throat of these establishment politicians in Ottawa and give Albertans bargaining power.
This would be an opportunity to bring about radical decentralization in Canadian federalism.
That’s why the People’s Party is supporting Albertans and the “start” side.

@MarioNawfal Wow, he is bragging about stealing someone else’s resources. Is that what the US stands for now? Being the bully in the world and taking everyone’s lunch money. So disappointing. Partisan politics killed the greatest vision of Constitutional democracy. I pray for the US. 🙏🇺🇸

@trainofangels00 Grok says you are correct. While it may not be a perfect organization it is definitely not socialist. Thanks for fighting the misinformation. Don’t know why everyone hates global organizations now. Hopefully if we work together there will be less wars. x.com/i/grok/share/6…

To settle the argument once and for all:
.....the World Economic Forum (WEF) is NOT a far-left or socialist movement, despite what you might hear in right-wing echo chambers.
Let's set the record straight.
In reality, the WEF is based on traditional CONSERVATIVE ideas like free markets, less government control, and big business.
It is simply a group that helps large international companies grow and make more money around the world.
The people who run the WEF prove exactly what it is.
The president of the WEF is Børge Brende, who used to be a top leader in Norway’s Conservative Party.
The board also includes powerful business bosses like Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock, and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, the former boss of Nestlé.
These people are global billionaires and corporate leaders, not left-wing activists.
American conservatives have actually helped this globalist agenda grow for decades.
High-profile American CEOs, like Marc Benioff of Salesforce, use the WEF to help their companies trade smoothly across different countries.
Historically, conservative U.S. politicians aggressively pushed for global trade deals like 'NAFTA' to help American businesses sell more products overseas.
Hardcore right-wingers call the WEF a "progressive" threat because they repeat narratives from online groups without looking at the facts.
The WEF does NOT want socialism.
It literally exists to protect global capitalism and free business, which are the exact core goals of traditional conservative economics.
So whether you are supportive of fiscal conservative values or not, I just wanted to reiterate the actual facts regarding the WEF and how so many hardcore right-wingers are misinformed as to what it really is.

@Marketlearner79 @MPelletierCIO Unfortunately you wrong or being misled. But you do have a point that we still have a long way to improve in productivity and growth. Here’s the truth from Grok even though it took some arm twisting. x.com/i/grok/share/d…

TD report on CANADA's BRAIN DRAIN is really interesting.
Canada is quietly losing its top talent to the United States in what economists call a silent brain drain. While Canada does a strong job educating highly skilled workers in STEM, engineering, and entrepreneurship, it struggles to keep them due to higher taxes that kick in at much lower income levels, limited opportunities to scale companies, weaker commercialization of ideas, and much better pay and growth potential south of the border.
-> Talent leaves mainly through temporary US work visas rather than permanent moves
-> Outflows are heavily concentrated among the highest skilled, especially in tech and advanced degrees
-> Onward migration is worst among immigrants and top university graduates
-> Canada has a missing middle of medium sized firms, relying instead on many tiny businesses and a few large ones
-> Personal tax rates often exceed 50 percent in major provinces and apply at much lower thresholds than in the US
-> Complex corporate tax rules push entrepreneurs toward tax planning instead of growth
All of this weakens productivity, innovation, and domestic returns on education, making Canada a feeder system for the US economy

@TaraArmstrongBC Not just generations. Tax cut should be for the poor and reverse tax cut for the super poor. UBI style.
English
Boomers came of age in the most prosperous era in history: cheap homes, high wages, and abundant jobs. But Gen Z and Millennials have inherited none of those fruits. I'm proposing a 50% tax cut for anyone under 40 to provide relief for past generations' reckless spending.

@PierrePoilievre Not a bad idea. If he does that, then don’t blame him for an increased deficit.

Taiwan makes almost 70% of the world’s semiconductors and more than 90% of the most advanced chips powering your phone, your car, and the AI race.
If China controls Taiwan, the Communist Party gains leverage over the world’s most critical tech supply chain. That’s not just a threat to Taiwan’s 23 million people living in a thriving democracy — it’s a threat to global freedom, security, and the future itself.

@MarioNawfal Very true. As long as every employee gets a fair share of that output which I believe Space X does.
English
🚨🇺🇸SpaceX just revealed something that should make every legacy aerospace executive uncomfortable...
The company employed just over 22,000 people as of March 31, with none of them unionized.
For context, Boeing employs 182,000.
Lockheed Martin employs 123,000.
Northrop Grumman employs 95,000.
SpaceX is launching more rockets than the rest of the world combined while operating with roughly one-eighth the workforce of Boeing.
That kind of output per employee is not normal.
It is the result of an organizational design that prioritizes velocity, vertical integration, and ruthless prioritization, all of which trace back to Elon's operating philosophy.
Output per employee is the real metric in modern industry, and SpaceX is rewriting what the ceiling looks like.

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING: SpaceX has officially filed for its IPO, targeting $80 billion or more in what would be the largest initial public offering in history, eclipsing Saudi Aramco's $26 billion 2019 record by a massive margin. Key details: -Ticker: SPCX -Dual listed on Nasdaq and Nasdaq Texas -Elon controls 85% of voting power via supervoting Class B shares (10 votes per share) -Insiders and board members combined hold 86% of total voting power -Structure makes it nearly impossible for shareholders to ever remove Elon as CEO -Trading begins next month -Biggest non-Elon winners: Valor Equity founder Antonio Gracias and PayPal co-founder Luke Nosek -Sequoia Capital also holds meaningful stake (not disclosed in filing) This is the financial event of the decade. $80 billion is more than three times the size of the previous record. A private American company that lands rockets, runs the global satellite internet, just signed a deal with Anthropic for orbital AI compute, and merged with xAI is now opening itself up to the public markets at a valuation that dwarfs entire G20 economies. Elon's structure ensures he runs the company forever. Texas just won the biggest listing in history. The future of American capitalism is being built right now, and it's happening outside Wall Street's traditional grip. Source: WSJ

@elonmusk Doesn’t seem like you have any new products. Other than the Robotaxi and Robovan it’s been years. Not sure what you have been doing. Maybe opportunity to streamline the design team for better shareholder value? Hope you prove me wrong. 🤨

@JeffBezos @wholemars Are the rich willing to make up the difference by increasing their taxes? Other countries do it. Like Canada!! The US needs to become more like Canada. 😂🇨🇦🇺🇸👍💯🙏
English
Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay
Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@jacksedart I don’t think they are victims and I don’t think they’re blaming the condition. Would you blame a person in a wheelchair for not walking? We need to understand that they are different and need accommodation to live in a world that doesn’t match with their mind & help them. IMO
English
Specifically, the choice is the following:
“I know I'm hurting myself/others, but I’d rather deal with my issues this way than actually face my problems, fears, & the required effort to change”.
You can't force that choice.
But at least don't turn them into victims.
(3/3)
English
I'll b very blunt.
When someone has been an addict, depressed, toxic, suicidal, etc., for a considerable time, has received external input, & sticks with it, I believe it’s not only a symptom of the underlying condition.
Blaming the condition actually makes it worse.

@JeffBezos @elonmusk Zero it out and put the tax on the top 1%? Tax revenues need to come from somewhere and the debt is huge and there was no support for Doge so this seems like the best solution with the least negative impact until we have UHI. I think it’s a good idea. Do you @JeffBezos @elonmusk?
English
Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.
Chris | Venture X Media@thecoachchris_
Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.
English
@elonmusk @JeffBezos Asked Grok about this and got back the Elon bias response. Grok is not maximally truth seeking anymore. It always emphasizes some things more than others. Can’t trust Grok anymore so be careful. @xai should look into this. x.com/i/grok/share/5…
