Fintech Rambling Man. Tech, geopolitics, and forward thinking. Vehemently anti-communist. Sometimes serious. Often not.

When someone is obviously hurting and they tell you what they need, doing the opposite of that hurts the person in need further because you violated their trust in a profound way. More people need to know and hear this.

@kpertsev For a true payments company, CRB is the best bank partner with a handful of others being just as good.

Important. Historically, the media has covered for communism. Look no further than the Holodomor in Ukraine by the Soviet Union where the NY Times coverage was extremely favorable to the communist attempts to exterminate a national identity.

REVEALED: Here Are the Mainstream Journalists on China’s Payroll 🚨 I exclusively uncovered the identities of prominent U.S. journalists flown to China by a CCP-linked influence operation seeking “favorable coverage” and “positive messages” about Beijing. 🧵

@Fat_Electrician You are correct. Commercial Real Estate loans are the largest part of bank portfolios. Loans going bad on CREs across major cities in the US would be disastrous. DM me if you want more info on where to find more information. It’s all very public.

It would crash the commercial real estate market. The banks and businesses did the math and determined the loss of that value was greater than the savings if not needing to pay for offices anymore. Not saying I like that, but I’d be willing to bet that’s exactly what happened.
‏ً@omgsidewalks

We had a once in a generation opportunity to make remote work the global standard, and somehow we let it slip away. What happened? Why did so many companies abandon something that gave people more flexibility, less commuting, and a better work life balance?

@dbatura @XMoney From a design standpoint, feedback is that is looks pretty bland. I know a lot will change and it’s early.

I see your point. I guess I was viewing it the way I was because homes do tend to turnover quickly in an area making comps and valuation easier to determine. I didn’t take into consideration capital gains and taxing based off purchase price because I don’t pay an annual tax on tradeable assets, but I do on a home. You changed my mind.

@willshawison basing it on FMV is exactly the same asset seizure tax that is proposed in california. you can't hate one and love another. you're taxed for something you didn't gain. same as amt, for that matter.

that 🧵 below about schizo sf techies was very informative in an unexpected way: they perceive their young age as some kind of disability. “young family” instead of “family”, “young homeowner” instead of “homeowner”, etc. disability and entitlement. funny. SAD.

@F530Josh @rcanedesignwrks I can tell this is a lie because you mentioned SEAL team and I cannot find a single book or podcast by a SEAL about fighting giants in Afghanistan.

@rcanedesignwrks No, and the operational failure was caused by CIA intelligence and the decision to use a four man SEAL Team as the recon element. We told them that only automatic weapons and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program should be used when engaged by giants, but they didn't listen.

It’s true. Marines killed over 900 giants in Kandahar. You guys never would have found out about it, but we let SOF nerds in on the giant hunts one time and now it’s being talked about on Joe Rogan and Shawn Ryan for internet clout.
Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps@JoeRoganRecaps

Joe Rogan might be in real danger after historical investigator Timothy Alberino just leaked classified Pentagon information about a group of Marines who were all killed by a single unarmed 1,100 pound humanoid in Afghanistan: ALBERINO: “A team of Marines in Afghanistan stormed a cave hunting for Taliban, but they were instead met by an enormous giant who killed them all.” ROGAN: “WHAT?! That’s the craziest thing I’ve ever heard. So the giant just got away?” ALBERINO: “They then deployed another unit to go look for that team. When the team got to the cave that giant was in the middle of eating the dead soldiers.” ROGAN: “You can’t be serious. So what did the giant do to this unit?” ALBERINO: “This new unit went in fully prepared so they were able to successfully kill the giant.” ROGAN: “Did you ever try to find records of who was there and what casualties were reported?” ALBERINO: “It’s very difficult to get that kind of information.” ROGAN: “I’m sure.” ALBERINO: “The Pentagon released a bizarre statement years ago saying that the giant Kandahar incident never happened.” ROGAN: “The Pentagon actually said this? That makes me feel sketchy.” ALBERINO: “The pilot told me they weighed the giant before loading him on the plane. He got measured at 10-12 feet tall and 1,100 pounds.” ROGAN: “1,100 pounds? That can’t be a human. Who else have you spoken with about this?” ALBERINO: “I asked a commander about the Kandahar giant. The blood rushed out of his face and he points to his phone because he thought they might be listening. His wife then whispered to me that he’s not allowed to talk about that.” ROGAN: “Ohhh my god.” ALBERINO: “What I later learned is that it’s not the single giant of Kandahar, it’s the GIANTS. There’s more than one.”

@bx_on_x @GBNT1952 You’re right, this is social media. And as long as you are not calling for violence, doxxing, or harming kids, then you do you on social media. Take my advice or leave it doesn’t bother me. I’m sure you will continue to good work and I look forward to reading it.

@willshawison @GBNT1952 I literally couldn't do more in that regard LMFAO. This is Twitter and I'm allowed to call out people who are complicit in helping child predator networks. It's my platform.

You seem like good people. I’ve read your stuff on 764. I’m so sorry that happened to you by Shawn and his team. It does seem like the podcast show cancellation, as messed up as it was, is consuming you at times. Do everything you can to show Shawn he messed up except calling him out on social media.

@kpertsev I’m with you. However, a small part of of me agrees that the boomers deserve to bleed their assets. And then sensibilities return knowing govt almost never repeals taxes.

I think the population would have the appetite for violence on a WW II or Korean War level under the correct circumstances. I’m in my early 40s now. When I would describe what the US was like right after 9/11 to young soldiers, I described as both somber and bloodlust - there’s no other way our citizens would have been ok with the Iraq invasion. To defend your point, war is already being waged against China through the Iran war, yeeting Maduro in Venezuela, and the Ukraine/Russian conflict with the bombing of Russian refineries. China’s oil imports are down 44%. Venezuela, Russia, and Iran are the three top exporters to China for oil. So we are waging 5th gen war using military/proxies and the dollar.

For my banking peeps, I’ve heard some harsh criticism by multiple banks on MANTL. Sales people that don’t understand product, PMs that are ignorant to details on setup and telling the banks what additional services they need up front. Delayed timelines by 12 months or more and awful service.
