@SkiTownRE He would be forced to sell the house within a decade. Probably much sooner. $10 MM upper limit on reasonable here.

The answer is they should buy a $25 MM ski house in Jackson Hole and throw it into a Wyoming LLC and the other $9MM in T-Bills and let it ride. Learn how to fly fish and touch grass.

Just got off a call with a guy who just got a $34m inheritance from his parents Not in real estate value… Not in stocks… But in cold hard cash. The kid is 23 and makes $200k/year as a software engineer Has no idea whatsoever what to do with this money What would you do with it? Here’s what I suggested (I’m not a financial advisor, and this is not financial advice) Invest $12.5m into $VOO (S&P500 ETF) Invest $12.5m into $QQQ (Nasdaq ETF) Buy a $5m primary residence in cash And with the last $5m, buy section 8 real estate properties. I connected him with the sourcing company I use, and over the next 12 months They’re going to source him 150-180 rental properties This will create enormous tax deductions that will eliminate his income tax for years And he’ll earn ~$600k-700k in annual recurring cashflow And the $5m he puts into down payments will turn into $25m of equity once the federal government pays off all the debt in 30 years Simple playbook to ensuring that $34m turns into multiple 9 figures and true generational wealth

@Sollberg1 @EHetz3 @ChristianHeiens Our immigrants are generally well performing economically and integrate into the culture. It’s totally different here.

@EHetz3 @ChristianHeiens whites in the US are probably already in the minority. you're way ahead of Europe

Almost everything Germany has done for the last dozen years has been geared towards national suicide.
Admitting hundreds of thousands of refugees in 2015, shutting down all nuclear power plants in 2022, and now this.
And keep in mind, with but a brief interruption from 2022-2025, all of this took place under so-called “conservative” governments.
Germany is now just 72% German. These various European states are essentially where the US was in 2010. But what took us 50 years after Hart-Celler has taken the Germans barely a decade.

@arthistorynews @s8mb Why is there no British firm looking to participate in this market?
English
@s8mb The case may be poorly put, but it demonstrates the wider issue quite well; is it really going to be in our (that is, British) interests to allow US based tech-firms chasing big capital valuations to hollow out local businesses and employment?
English
There's something to be said for rent-seeking so nakedly that you don't even bother to pretend that you're doing it in consumers' interests. Let's just have a price floor on taxis so we don't lose business.

@Kase50N @saudrahman27 The yuan is not free floating. It’s a joke, and only clowns like you believe it.

@saudrahman27 It’s open if you pay in Yuan. The dollar is on the ropes and the world economy may be about to flip. This is a disaster.

Yesterday, Trump 🇺🇸 gave Iran a 48-hour ultimatum to open the Strait of Hormuz
Moments ago, Iran 🇮🇷 responds:
The Strait of Hormuz is open
English
How does capturing Kharg Island (regardless of how intact it is taken) force the Iranians to open the SoH?
How is the US forced to take Kharg Island at all?
Faytuks News@Faytuks
American officials tell allies that the US will probably be forced to launch a ground operation to capture Iran's Kharg Island, according to two sources familiar with the matter - I24 News t.me/US2020US/40248

@DeItaone At one point does the United Nations come in and say "our global economy cannot afford this conflict."
Trump is playing chess right now though and he knows Iran sells oil to other countries 🙄...
Hopefully a peace treaty is signed soon.

@SnakePoops @DynamicMoats @insane_analyst @nachkari You can easily and relatively quickly repair pipelines.
They are hundreds/thousands of miles long, and a missile destroys a couple dozen meters. Drone even less.
Essentially it would require active and continuous bombardment.
Iran can’t do that to 10 pipelines.
English
@DynamicMoats @insane_analyst @nachkari Couldn’t they destroy the pipelines? They are super long and would be hard to protect .
Maybe could bury super deep under ground but that makes building and maintaining them super expensive

@ShaleTier7 If you want to destroy something, you need a lot of bombs. Or a nuke.

I’ll be honest, extremely stupid realization, but I thought bombs were bigger. Like, this doesn’t feel blown up at all.

@InsiderGeo I’m not sure why some in the west seem to believe that we must change our communication and customs for other cultures. Especially in our homeland.
If he was in Japan, the situation would be different.
English
My comment on Japan was simple: they don’t see things the way we do, and the way we handle them diplomatically differs from how we deal with others. The PM could take it as a joke or not it depends on perspective. Different styles aren’t better or worse, just cultural. You can’t expect everything to work the same way everywhere (We expect it many times), and even within Japan, regions have their own nuances.
Behind all this, a lot depends on how people interact, follow protocol, and how ambassadors handle the subtleties. 😄
English
People often don’t realize that you can’t talk to Asians the same way you talk to Europeans or Westerners. There’s a cultural expectation that historical context, respect, and subtlety are treated differently what might seem casual or humorous in the West is deeply offensive in Japan, In Japan, context, respect, and subtlety guide almost every interaction. Unlike in many Western countries, where directness is valued, Japanese communication often relies on reading between the lines.
Adam Schwarz@AdamJSchwarz
Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi's reaction as Trump says "Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn't you tell me about Pearl Habour?" Undoubtedly the worst American diplomatic gaffe in post-war US-Japan history.

@LanderPeterjohn @stokdog Tell us where SK, Singapore, and Malaysia get their fuel from.
English
@stokdog Correction. Australia imports practically no fuel from China and with China's ruling this week, however much we did import from China, it is now zero.
Our biggest fuel supplier is S.Korea
Then Singapore
Then Malaysia.
Check your facts.
English
An island nation as large and as isolated as Australia, that imports nearly all its refined fuel from China, is holding an 🚨cabinet meeting today because they had ZERO geopolitical foresight on national security to protect their citizens from fuel shocks.
Jerry cans lol

@sbbc_1 @RodDMartin Maybe the ones shooting drones at the tankers? The ones who you allowed to have a knife to your economies head for 47 years? Great geopolitical strategy - gives the Ayatollah’s and Putin the gun, and then disarm yourselves,
English
Well, Germany imports energy from the Persian Gulf and we don't, so what you're really saying is that you intend to go on freeloading. And that your navies are basically impotent, by choice.
Maybe it's time to rethink who we're allied with.

Wir werden uns nicht daran beteiligen, in der Straße von Hormus mit militärischen Mitteln eine freie Schifffahrt zu gewährleisten. Der Krieg im Nahen Osten ist nicht Angelegenheit der NATO. Deshalb wird sich Deutschland auch nicht militärisch einbringen.

@shortlongdo @ArmchairAdml Man thinks 20% loss will mean fuel rationing 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 fucking goon.
English
It is not the fault of NATO that the US didn’t adequately prepare for the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz before attacking Iran.
Regardless of whether we support the war or not, it is on the American leadership. I’m sure General Caine and others would’ve stressed the possibility of the Strait being closed.
Lindsey Graham@LindseyGrahamSC
Just spoke to @POTUS about our European allies’ unwillingness to provide assets to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning, which benefits Europe far more than America. I have never heard him so angry in my life. I share that anger given what’s at stake. The arrogance of our allies to suggest that Iran with a nuclear weapon is of little concern and that military action to stop the ayatollah from acquiring a nuclear bomb is our problem not theirs is beyond offensive. The European approach to containing the ayatollah’s nuclear ambitions have proven to be a miserable failure. The repercussions of providing little assistance to keep the Strait of Hormuz functioning are going to be wide and deep for Europe and America. I consider myself very forward-leaning on supporting alliances, however at a time of real testing like this, it makes me second guess the value of these alliances. I am certain I am not the only senator who feels this way.
English
@cameowilts @ArmchairAdml You’re the one who needs the straight opened. Will you come back crying when fuel is rationed in 6 months?
English
@ArmchairAdml The bit I find funny is Caine ordered his mine hunters to sail 4000km away…… it’s their own mess the clean up not ours
