@ketchell @GreggsOfficial I won't stand for this Fulham slander - there is one on Fulham Road an 18 min walk away, moving them to safety from relegation

@Ezra_Cohen_ @BritishProgress Solid paper but tapers are just slow-motion cliff edges. Why not scrap the PA clawback and raise the higher rate 3p to 43%? You'd actually cut the effective rate for everyone between £100-125k (from 62% to 43%) while raising more revenue.

No one should lose out by working more, but the UK’s tax cliffs can mean exactly that for low & high earners. In a new @britishprogress paper, we show how the government can end this at no extra cost. And we built a tool to show how it would affect you: tax-cliffs.vercel.app

Great to welcome our local MP @ChelFulhamBen to Pearly Whites today. We had an open and honest conversation about the state of NHS dentistry: the challenges practices like ours face delivering care under the current contract, and what meaningful reform could look like.

@moseskagan @MatznerJon had a good newsletter on this topic recently. Make +EV bets!

One reason small businesses (including mine!) often under-invest: Textbooks often treat business reinvestment opportunities like certainties (spend X on marketing, generate Y in incremental gross profit). In real life, the choice is more like: “reasonable chance this $100k grows revenue by an unknown %age” vs. “the certainty I own a new boat” - For more on real estate and small business, join my mailing list at moseskagan.com

@yidal1985 @InvertTheWing And Sarr has shown flashes but nothing resembling any consistency.

@yidal1985 @InvertTheWing The only player I’d say has shown real, clear improvement since Conte came in is Kulusevski. Maybe you could argue Spence but hard to know if he got better or just wasn’t given an opportunity. And VDV has been largely great too, but he pretty much was from day one.

I would also sell Pape Sarr. Absolutely zero improvement in his game in 4 seasons. It’s incredibly concerning. Takes too long to move the ball, only excels when he’s given acres of space. Decent option off the bench.

@ROTS1882 They’re going to have a lot of trouble selling tickets at this price. I think of ST holders relied on confidently being able to sell a chunk of matches on the exchange, which has become far from a given.

@levelsio Fewer (and higher paid) humans supported by robots + AI is where I think we are headed

Honestly I think the only realistic solution to the decreasing quality of service in the West is robots I don't think even if you fix the societal problems of high cost of living (which people say is why people suck at their jobs these days, fair) that anyone will want to do these jobs anymore in the West at least When ChatGPT 4 was here I already thought it'd do a better job than 99% of people working in service jobs, imagine now With modern AI models and robotics, I think companies will be able to produce a much much better service experiences than humans I don't know if it'll be fully automated hotels, restaurants, cafes, airline service staff, or humanoid robots, or something in between Who wants a grumpy tired human if you can get a friendly humanoid helping you? Do I prefer the enshittification to stop and instead have humans? Yes I absolutely do ideally but I'm just realistic that I doubt that's going to happen in the West People doing service jobs in the West hate their jobs, people hate interacting with them because they hate their jobs, and meanwhile robots can do a 10x better job for 1000x cheaper Inevitable I think

@DonovanBuilds @651Michael Curious, does Michael take a salary for running it?

In January of 2024 I bought a small cleaning business with my friend from high school @651Michael for $17k (1x earning) 2024 Revenue: $117k Labor: $72k Marketing: $2.6k Other Costs (VA, ins, etc): $10k SDE: $32.4k 2025 Revenue: $181k Labor: $101k Marketing: $7.8k Other Costs (VA, ins, supplies, etc): $17.8k SDE: $54.4k Michael has been crushing the day to day with answering calls, shooting + editing the ads, doing the cleans where needed, hiring - literally everything. Very grateful to him! We had no idea what we were doing and just installed our first CRM last week (GHL) and had zero automated ways to follow up with leads before this. How do we double this in 2026?

@moseskagan @xwanyex Or you can make it so that immigrants are not eligible for welfare. I live in the UK on a spousal visa and I am not eligible for welfare/“benefits”. Not that the UK is exactly a great example of doing immigration “right” but this feels trivial to execute?

@xwanyex I think you could easily justify it if the payback were high enough (like, if you were highly confident the immigrants themselves or their children would add sufficient value to society to pay back the benefits and then some)

Libertarians have pointed out for years that you can’t have both mass immigration and a welfare state. Of course, they say this because they want to keep immigration high and eliminate welfare, but the basic point is sound. It’s just an absurdity that we bring new people to the country and then tax natives to give them welfare. There’s really no way to justify it. It’s an absurdity.

@THSTOfficial How does it make sense that I can buy a guest a new ticket when a match hits Guest Sale, but I’m blocked from transferring my existing ST seat to that same person? It’s a ridiculous double standard that only leads to empty seats.

For those asking about the restrictions on Ticket Share, we reported earlier this week that the Club has responded to pressure from ⁦@THSTOfficial⁩ , the Fan Advisory Board and supporters and relaxed the rule so that tickets can now be shared with up to three non-members

@moseskagan @bethanyjbabcock @jamesonhaslam @bobbyfijan @Dirtdog @jasonc_nc @StrongpointRich @ramit @AnnaGorisch @StatisticUrban :(

@grantgoodstein @bethanyjbabcock @jamesonhaslam @bobbyfijan @Dirtdog @jasonc_nc @StrongpointRich @ramit @AnnaGorisch @StatisticUrban Oh man I am so tempted to swing at this pitch, but I'm going to let it go by

Since you asked, here is my totally off-the-top-of-my-head list of accounts I'm finding interesting right now: Business related: @bethanyjbabcock @jamesonhaslam @bobbyfijan @Dirtdog @jasonc_nc @StrongpointRich Non-business: @ramit @AnnaGorisch @StatisticUrban Oh and a freebie podcast recommendation: If you're a smart person, I can't recommend the Dwarkesh Podcast strongly enough.

@MattGubba The effective tax rate at £100K (inclusive of corporation tax) for a university educated ltd co owner is 44.4%, and the marginal rate is 61%!!! Marginal rate climbs to 63.5% at £125K. It’s truly insanity (I say this as someone in their first year as a limited co owner)

Ten years ago, a small business owner taking a £100k dividend could pay as little as £2,500 in personal tax if structured efficiently under the old dividend tax system. Today in 2025, they’re paying £21,250. Next year, under Labour’s new budget, they’ll pay over £23,000. And that’s after the company has already paid 25% corporation tax on the profits used to fund that dividend. In a decade, we’ve gone from a manageable tax bill to one where the state takes nearly a quarter of the dividend on top of corporation tax before the owner sees a penny. That’s a nearly 800% increase in personal tax on the same £100k. All for the crime of running a business in Britain. - This is why entrepreneurship is dying here. - This is why people aren’t scaling. - This is why founders are taking their companies and jobs abroad. If you want growth, stop treating business owners like a bottomless ATM. Britain needs entrepreneurs, not policies that punish them for succeeding.

@moseskagan Where do your potential customers kids or grandkids go to school? Find sponsorship opportunities there (sports teams, school play, etc)

Read a post on here recently that boiled down to: "The best moat for a service business is a brand built by decades of local advertising" I think this is probably right and we're doing some, but I want to do more. What are some examples of effective local advertising media (bus benches, billboards, etc.) for reaching investment property owners?
