Or you could be The Netherlands and tax income at 49,50% from an income of € 78.426.
But your point absolutely stands. It is just so amazing to hear the wide acceptance of this being “normal”.
West Europe is heading for an stealth socialistic society where the state is the great redistributor.

all of a sudden millions of pennies about to drop. Its just not much of an incentive to have half of everything taken out of your pocket in such quantities. US model has it right and that is why productivity and GDP per capita is growing there. Britain is now TWENTY EIGHTH in the world on GDP per person....
Cut My Tax@CutMyTaxUK
The number of Brits now paying the punitive 45% top rate of tax, which cuts in at a measly £125k, has grown by 57% in a single year to reach 900k. This group pays 38% of all income tax, despite constituting only 2% of taxpayers. By contrast in the US the top federal rate of income tax is 37% & cuts in at an income of £465k. Britain is a poor country whose tax & welfare system encourages poverty.

@athenaeumbc Seems an improvement to honor people by their accomplishments instead of their birth circumstances
English
"Where men are forbidden to honor a king they honor millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison."

Insane to think this is a real SAT exam question.
Attention spans are now so bad that some "reading passages" are just 24 WORDS. We are becoming an illiterate society.
Why is nobody talking about this?

Number of case study submissions that are clearly done with AI have 10x over the past few months
Kids are dumb enough to leave in em-dashes all throughout the write up. The excel contains comments and formulas that were clearly put together by Claude
Some kids even leaving in Pyxl, which is the Claude python program for excel, as the original author of the file. Dead giveaways, one after another
His fund is moving to an exclusively in person case study model
Seems like the days of remote interviewing and hiring through Zoom is essentially over, thanks to AI
Large firms were already transitioning to this model and now the smaller funds have picked up the same

If something “makes no sense” in markets.
It probably mean your view of that security, commodity, or thematic is wrong.
And you should look hard in the mirror and adjust accordingly.

@Nuki054 I think it’s at an interesting valuation today IF you believe the “friendshoring” will still happen and need industrial space growth.
The bear case is that without that and a recession it can go much lower

Almost 2y ago I wrote about the very interesting $SOM.L and how it wasn’t cheap enough to get me a margin of safety so I wrote “maybe later”. The question is if with 35% discount from then it’s “later enough”

This is a victory for the United States that President Trump and our incredible military made happen.
From the very beginning of Operation Epic Fury, President Trump estimated this would be a 4-6 week operation.
Thanks to the unbelievable capabilities of our warriors, we have achieved and exceeded our core military objectives in 38 days.
More on that tomorrow morning from @SecWar and Chairman Caine!
The success of our military created maximum leverage, allowing President Trump and the team to engage in tough negotiations that have now created an opening for a diplomatic solution and long-term peace.
Additionally, President Trump got
the Strait of Hormuz reopened.
Never underestimate President Trump’s ability to successfully advance America’s interests and broker peace.

Imagine someone valued this based on the discounted cash flows produced by tourists 400 years in the future.

Italy is littered with businesses that have consistently grown revenue, earnings, and free cash flow, all without dilution, for under 10x earnings. The big question is, though, will investors ever actually care??

Boots on the ground would be bad but I'd understand it.
Unilateral TACO is understandable but an admission of failure (even if Trump claims victory)
"We'll keep doing this the same for now but leave in 2-3 weeks" is... just a weird way to telegraph your intentions? What's solved in 2-3 more weeks on this?
