MOROCCO TAKES THE LEAD 🇲🇦 Hakimi finds Azzedine Ounahi off the set piece and that's just a beautiful goal!

This is because the anti-capitalist left is not actually against people being crazy rich. They're against certain types of people being crazy rich. Artists and athletes make sense to them because they've played music and sports and because their success can be explained by "luck" and "talent". Messi's wealth is not offensive to them because they understand Messi is much better at football than they are. But when it comes to business, the anti-capitalist leftist has no framework for understanding why Jeff Bezos might be super rich since 99% of them have never ever created a product, business or service that was of value to other people. They've never taken entrepreneurial risk. They've never employed people and felt the burden of responsibility that comes with that. They've never pick up a business and given it a play in the way they've picked up a ball or a guitar. They *literally* don't understand wealth creation. They think there is a fixed amount of money and the only thing a business does is split it unfairly. It's why they rage at Elon and other successful business leaders. Because they genuinely don't understand why they're wealthy. Also, and this is just as important, athletes and artists are disproportionately young, attractive, "diverse", left wing etc. Business leaders are "evil" middle aged white men whose success offends the average anti-capitalist leftist because they don't understand a) what it is they do and b) that Elon Musk has the same talent advantage on them as Messi does, it's just harder to measure.

We’ve closed a $300M fully prefunded securitization on Figure Connect, reversing the traditional process by securing liquidity before loans close. By securing upfront capital, we’re protecting our partners’ production pipelines and establishing a repeatable blueprint for a programmatic liquidity rail that locks in pricing and execution certainty. This is a major part of our vision, much like what Fannie Mae and the TBA market offer for the Agency mortgage. This is how we modernize financial infrastructure to create lasting efficiency.
