@MilleyMich39119 In the process of being accused of cheating, didn’t he actually prove that the house was cheating with a rigged machine?

@elonmusk There isn’t even a stable definition for socialism that people agree upon, so it’s a term that just generates conflict.

@SimonDixonTwitt @maneco1964 Everyone approving it in parliament moved their capital offshore? Pretty sure there are a lot of useful idiots among the functionaries and the public who actually just think it’s a good thing

Wealth taxes are how you turn the EU into a distressed asset for private equity acquisition. Remember: a wealth tax on unrealised gains leads to forced asset selling by average Europeans, while carve-outs exist for those using offshore corporate vehicles. Any country implementing this policy (such as the Netherlands) is engineering a market crash and distressed acquisition strategy, designed to transfer wealth from retail investors to institutions, all wrapped in a “tax the rich” narrative. As with policies like this, it will be structured to transfer wealth upward, just like the current closure of the Strait of Hormuz. This is a real endgame asset-stripping policy, deliberately designed to engineer a crisis that would otherwise have been allowed to occur through normal market corrections. Manufactured crisis is the policy. And only those with offshore corporate structures and hard money to invest during distress will survive it. Of course, if you own a money printer connected to a central bank, then you will create the money needed to acquire distressed assets and privatise the gains while socialising the losses. Everybody needs to become far more financially savvy to survive the crises these policies engineer.

How Europe Is Designing a Tax System You Can’t Escape. The Netherlands is introducing a 36% tax on unrealized investment gains in 2028, even if you don’t sell your assets. The tax will be due each year on paper profits.

@esmeraldamoreno Eres mujer paisa viviendo en la costa? Por lo que he visto visitando mucho a la costa es que hay sinfin de problemas culturales en general, que no se tratan de odiar específicamente de gente de otras regiones del país, sino cuestiones de etnia, género, nivel económico, et cetera

@bcbweb @AndresHeeeery En Los Andes no es tan marcada la diferencia y el trato entre las personas, pero con otras culturas es abismal. Lo digo como mujer paisa que vive hace mucho por fuera de su cultura y que me ha constado mucho adaptarme, porque en general el trato es muy agresivo y violento.

A Colombia hay que balcanizarla. Las dinámicas en cada región son muy distintas y eso es insostenible. De la actual Colombia, pueden salir fácilmente unos 5 países.

@esmeraldamoreno @AndresHeeeery Durante años recorriendo al país en moto lo único odio que he visto es entre “petristas” y “uribistas”. Pero a nivel regional ni siquiera considero que el choque entre rolo y paisa llegue hasta nivel de odio.

@vrexec They didn’t have to overthink because they know there are plenty of pathways to make it work for people like them. What they are naive about is how terrible an idea it is to move to Western Europe right now

Met someone recently Father of 2, works in tech sales, wife is a consultant Says “we’re actually going to move to Europe next year” I asked if they have EU passports He says no I asked which of their companies are going to transfer/sponsor them He says they’re not going to tell their employers I asked how long they planned to be in Europe then He said indefinitely… just put the kids in local schools and enjoy their mornings given the time difference.. live a “simpler life” with less stress I then explained.. almost waiting for him to reveal the joke.. that they can’t just “move to Europe” and drop their kids in school and get cheap healthcare. They need to be citizens or have visas… formally update their residency… be legitimately employed locally… not to mention legit docs for things like landlord approvals… the list went on. He wasn’t joking, apparently. This grown adult thought they could just “move to Europe” illegally… and he didn’t even think about the legality of it at all Apparently he’s a “doer” type guy who just makes things happen Good luck to him

@Glinner Bitcoin being backed by the raw material of the universe is the only more retarded thing than Gary’s claims that I’ve heard today. You cannot retrieve that “ditigitzed energy” and use it. Ironically one of the few statement’s Gary is right about is Bitcoin being unbacked.

@clim8resistance He almost definitely hasn't achieved everything he claims. Perhaps at most he was taken under the wing of successtul people as a cute working class pet. But someone with his IQ clearly isn't making millions trading by himself

I've never been sufficiently interested to give him a hearing before. But here he really does not sound like anyone with any serious grasp of economics/finance/etc. He struggles with some basic concepts that would be immediately understood by someone with a fraction of the background he claims. What a strange phenomenon.

Gary doesn't even understand the basics of taxation, like income tax vs inheritance tax or corporate tax vs consumption tax.

@ewangibbs The point is that in the eyes of the Green voters it would supposedly be a blessing not a punishment, so if they object they invalidate their own claims

@DanneBig @DavidRu54517622 @8teAPi Do you think it makes you sound more intelligent using some kind of innuendo or are you afraid someone will challenge you and you’ll have to substantiate your belief that everything bad in this world is run by the “juuus!”?

Unbelievable scenes in El Salvador today. Hundreds have gathered demanding a total ban on Bad Bunny music. The protesters are literally claiming the music 'lowers IQ' and turns people gay. 🇸🇻

Trump assured the nation that gas prices will drop like a rock when the war with Iran ends. The problem is the war may not end for a long time, and even when it does, risk premiums will remain high, as peace may not last. Plus, demand may spike as nations rush to build reserves.

@naigoreip @BowesChay There’s about €1.6tn in physical bank notes circulating but only about €23m in counterfeits were removed in 2025. So if this details in this story are true it could well have been a quarter or more.

An Italian man single handedly created one quarter of all counterfeit euros circulating in Europe, from his garage in Naples. Italian Police raided his house and uncovered a sophisticated hidden printing setup located behind the garage. He had constructed a false wall mounted on rails and concealed behind a wardrobe. The entire wall slid open when activated by a simple homemade electronic switch. Behind the secret entrance officers discovered a full scale production facility equipped with 31 digital printing machines operating around the clock. This lone operator had manufactured fake banknotes in 20, 50, and 100 euro denominations totaling 11 million euros in face value. He managed to distribute eight million euros worth of these counterfeits throughout Europe with the majority passing through France. Authorities recovered an additional three million euros in completed fake notes still on the premises waiting for shipment. The European Central Bank verified that the forgeries reached an outstanding level of quality. The holograms in particular were nearly indistinguishable from those on genuine currency. The fake bills had surfaced in ten separate countries before investigators finally linked every batch to this one individual operating out of Naples.

@ShmeeHere @Mick_O_Keeffe People are fed up with the denial and gaslighting. This video is genuinely how parts of Dublin and the rest of most cities and even small towns in continental Europe look. It’s not right. Replacement level migration is the single biggest issue in Europe right now.

The two versions of Ireland: Farmers, truckers and Irish people from all walks of life gathered together on O'Connell Street to oppose government tyranny. But just a 5 minute walk away, this is the scene today on Talbot Street. I know which version of Ireland I intend on preserving.

Increasingly not, though. Having a Pakistani Muslim home secretary in control of the borders, a Carribean reparations-seeker as Deputy PM and in charge of justice (and abolishing jury trials!) aren't exactly a good example of diversity, and the signs of things to come aren't positive either. The direction of travel is most concerning.
