Iraq continues to have the worst passport in the world that cannot access other than ONLY 8 countries TOTAL! 1. Cook Islands, 2. Dominica, 3. Haiti, 4. Iran (only visa-free neighbour!) 5. Malaysia, 6. Micronesia, 7. Tunisia, 8. Zambia. 🧵 See more below

~6hr queues for British, American, Canadian and even more lengthy 7hr+ and stressful queues for Turkish, Iraqis, Russians travelers due to the EU’s new Entry/Exit System (EES) which uses biometric passport scans & self-service machines

@thealepalombo In this regard, your Turkish friend’s description of Tarsus is correct; more real local, consisting of less tourists, expats, refugees and IDPs. Personally I also prefer places like Tarsus, but it really depends on a few parameters to consider.

@thealepalombo But today’s İstanbul is different than the one in the 80s, İstanbul has a population of 15.7m but only about 3m are originally from İstanbul, the rest majority are from everywhere of Turkey! This is why there are notable differences between neighbourhoods!

Turkey just approved 20 years of zero tax on foreign income. A country known for tourism, food, ancient coasts (and hairlines) may now be a serious destination for location-independent families. On paper, this regime is unparalleled. Four times Italy's Impatriati. Longer than Cyprus's 17-year non-dom. The most aggressive European tax regime on the books. Will families actually move? My take: yes. Thousands of them over the next decade. The east of Turkey is conservative. The touristic west is extremely secular, closer to Mediterranean Europe than to the Middle East. The math will be too convenient to ignore. My Turkish friend and her fiancé had a layover at our place on Sunday. Over coffee, we mapped it out city by city. The pattern I'm long on: smaller cities, high quality of life, strong international schools. Here's our list. 🧵

Billionaires pay about half as much in taxes as everyone else. So why do we let them? Simple: because they have better lobbyists than us. But it doesn’t have to be this way. History tells us that we can actually win this fight. When the income tax was first proposed, they predicted catastrophe. Same arguments, same “bullshit bingo” we hear today – and democracy still prevailed. It can again. That’s why I’m excited to team up with @gabriel_zucman to ensure it does.

In 2008 the European Union and the USA had similar sized economies. But the European Union chose the path of massive regulations, higher taxes, discouraging businesses from forming and growing. In 2026, the USA is $30.5 trillion and the EU is only $20 trillion.

Waiting in these lines are insane and stressful

Never Forget: When the Panama Papers came out it revealed all the richest people in the world are part of an enormous conspiracy to dodge taxes and hoard stolen wealth in offshore accounts and nothing happened except a reporter working on the story was assassinated.

Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.

السفير البريطاني في #بغداد عرفان صديق: الأحزاب العراقية التي تمتلك أجنحة مسلحة تستخدم السلاح لتحقيق أهداف سياسية ومالية واقتصادية، ولا يمكن القبول بوجود حزب يمتلك فصيلاً مسلحاً، لأن ذلك يتعارض مع القانون العراقي، وعلى العراقيين أنفسهم أن يرفضوا ويعارضوا هذا الأمر، وليس نحن فقط.

Starting thread to track "Full Barzani" meetings moving forward, since there have been several recent additions. The definition is to meet with Kurdistan Region President Nechirvan Barzani, KRG PM Masrour Barzani, and KDP leader Masoud Barzani during one visit.

🚨 I knew strawberries were laced with chemicals… so I’d always soak them in baking soda thinking it would wash the poison off. IT DOESN’T EVEN HELP. This video just destroyed me. America’s #1 strawberry brand (Driscoll’s) is spraying their berries with UP TO 371 different chemical pesticides — including mosquito spray and multiple carcinogens. They’re lab-engineered clones, submerged in fungicide baths, bleached with chlorine, then sealed in plastic so tight that no rinsing or soaking can remove the residue. The chemicals seep straight into the flesh. I just scanned some with the Totsy app… it lit up like a Christmas tree with harmful substances. Cancer-linked crap. And they market this garbage as “healthy” for our kids. This isn’t farming. This is slow-motion poisoning. They’re trying to kill us.

@WallStreetApes India is not in economic crisis as Iraq, Syria, Iran which are worn out with war, so why don’t the Indians sit in their country & compete with China? The Indians & Pakistanis have alarmed countries worldwide of immigration leaving those in need dire situation
