@s1n3_n0m1n3 @brivael My question to you would be: What do you think will happen if every human on earth is given $100000 to start, with everything else being held constant. Equality right from the beginning. In 2 years time do you think everyone would still have the same amount of resource(100k)?

Je suis d’accord sur une partie du diagnostic, notamment sur la sclérose bureaucratique française, mais le raisonnement empile trop de raccourcis pour tenir debout. L’analogie de la cour de récré ne marche pas. Elle suppose un point de départ égal et des capacités équivalentes. La vraie économie ne fonctionne pas comme ça : héritages, réseaux, asymétries d’information, pouvoir de marché, capture réglementaire. Les “bons joueurs” ne sont pas toujours les meilleurs allocateurs, ils ont souvent juste démarré avec un meilleur deck. Et la “main invisible” de Smith supposait une concurrence parfaite que personne n’a jamais observée dans la nature. La hagiographie de Musk est sélective au point d’être malhonnête. SpaceX vit massivement de contrats NASA et DoD. Tesla a explosé grâce aux crédits d’impôt VE et aux ZEV credits, plusieurs milliards cumulés. Starlink utilise du spectre alloué par les États. Internet ? DARPA. GPS ? Militaire US. Le web ? CERN, public. Les vaccins mRNA ? Recherche NIH financée publiquement pendant vingt ans avant que Moderna n’industrialise. Mariana Mazzucato a documenté tout ça dans The Entrepreneurial State. L’iPhone lui-même empile des technos issues de la recherche publique : écran tactile, GPS, internet, Siri via DARPA. Le privé industrialise et commercialise, souvent brillamment, mais sur un substrat public massif que le texte fait disparaître. “Pas un seul ministère n’a rien inventé” est empiriquement faux. Internet, GPS, énergie nucléaire civile, moteurs à réaction, IRM, lasers, recherche fondamentale derrière la moitié de la pharma moderne. Le saut logique Mises/URSS est énorme. Le problème du calcul économique est réel pour la planification centralisée totale. En déduire que toute intervention publique mène au Gosplan, c’est un sophisme. Les économies mixtes fonctionnent pas trop mal avec des États forts : Allemagne, Pays-Bas, Danemark, Suède, Suisse. La Suisse citée en exemple est à environ 32% de dépense publique sur PIB, loin de l’État minimal libertarien. (suite ⬇️)

Brivael Le Pogam@brivael·
Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

CITIZEN YAO
CITIZEN YAO@citizenyao·
The Dilution Takeover Strategy The target is a capital-starved company willing to surrender majority control in exchange for a financial lifeline. The acquirer steps in, purchases a 60% equity stake, and secures a corresponding 60% board appointment right enough to dictate who occupies the CEO or CFO seat, and by extension, the strategic direction of the business. Fast forward one to two years. The company seeks to expand, and another capital call is made. This time, the remaining 40% shareholder lacks the liquidity to participate proportionately. Sensing the opportunity, the acquirer steps in again this time funding part of the minority shareholder’s share of the raise, ostensibly as a loan or bridge facility. Once embedded, he moves to convert that financial contribution into equity. The conversion is approved likely by the very board he controls and his shareholding climbs to 75% or beyond. At 75%, the game is effectively over. Under most corporate governance frameworks, a 75% equity stake translates into the unilateral power to pass special resolutions, the highest tier of corporate decision-making. He can alter the company’s constitution, approve mergers, authorize asset disposals, or remove the founding shareholder from any meaningful role, all without needing a single vote from the minority. What began as a capital injection ends as a quiet, structured takeover engineered not through hostility, but through the deliberate exploitation of the original owner’s financial vulnerability at every critical juncture.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Stay smart guys !

“I don’t like when Mr Eazi is àngry with me… he won’t talk to me for days and when I ask, he says everything is fine then he’ll go to another room and send me a long email of everything he’s angry about… While I was reading it, my body was already becoming h0t. So at some point, I can’t even read because I’m so ángry. Because imagine I’ve asked this guy 10 times, are you up.s£t with me? Are you up.s£t with me? he said nothing. So honestly, if you’re in the same flat as someone, don’t you think it’s a bit childish to not go up and speak to them? I don’t know why he can’t just shout at me instead…” - Popular Nigerian actress and fashion entrepreneur Temi Otedola has sparked reactions online after opening up on her relationship with singer Mr Eazi, revealing how he behaves when he is upset.

Ghana doesn’t have a bus shortage problem. It has a governance problem. For decades, we’ve bought buses, STC, OSA, Metro Mass, Ayalolo. And for decades, many of them have ended up abandoned or barely functioning. Why? Because the basics are missing: proper maintenance plans, disciplined asset management, coherent route planning, and real accountability. We haven’t learned the core lesson. Instead, we keep procuring more buses, as if hardware can fix what is fundamentally a systems failure. It’s the hallmark of a procurement-driven approach to development. The solution is not more buses. It’s better governance. Start with Accra as a pilot. Establish a single accountable body, the Accra Transit Authority. Its job would be to plan routes, set service standards, and enforce performance-based contracts across operators. Trotro operators are not the enemy. They are already the backbone of the system. Bring them into a formal structure, set clear standards, and hold them accountable. Protect routes from arbitrary encroachment. Enforce maintenance schedules based on manufacturer guidelines for state-operated buses. Only once a functioning system exists does it make sense to invest in more buses, because then they will actually last. Until then, every new fleet we procure is just a slow donation to the scrapyard.
