Quite stunned its NAFO that triggers you so rather than the crimes Russia perpetuates against the USA. But no the key issue is this: We would love to hear u explain further why u direct so little energy towards countering Russia. I find notable how you give zero concern to Russian provocations towards Americans thats gone on for too long. Considering: - Directly interfering in US elections undermining our political independence - Actively and repeatedly kidnapping Americans for some sort of ransom/consideration - Actively spreading misinfo/disinfo that directly HARMS the health/welfare and political independence of all Americans - Direct involvement is assassinations on US and allies soil - Directly & Indirectly bribing/blackmailing US politicians, business figures to HARM Americans, our political independence and undermining the nations foreign policy set forth by the executive branch - Actively performing sabotage on the infrastructure on US soil We have a laundry list of CRIMES against peace by the Russians. Russia has been performing acts of war against the US for far too long and would have commanded greater consideration by you 🤷‍♂️

The key issue is this: NAFO wraps itself in the flags of NATO and Ukraine. But the aggressive, ad hominem approach NAFO takes here and its enmeshment in fraught U.S. political debates risks conflating those causes with those divides. Ergo NAFO doesn't help NATO or Ukraine. 1/

The corporations and the billionaires want to keep us divided so we don't notice that we're getting robbed.

There’s an addiction destroying this country. It’s the insatiable greed of a billionaire class. What Californians are saying is simple: At a time when millions are being thrown off health care, billionaires must start paying their fair share.

We need to hold billionaires accountable when they wreck our economy, our environment, or our communities.

The Hollow Men American capitalism is rotting from the head down. We have replaced the "Owner-Operator"—the risk-taker-with a new, parasitic class of corporate bureaucrat: The Risk-Free Insider. By "Insider," I am not referring to a specific title. I am referring to the entire administrative state that has captured the modern corporation. This includes the Directors who exist solely to collect fees, the Executives who exist solely to collect bonuses, and the Managers who exist solely to hire consultants. These are the hollow men of the boardroom. They are masters of PowerPoint. They wear the right suits. They say the right buzzwords about "governance" and "ESG." But they are mercenaries fighting a war with someone else’s ammunition. In a functioning economy, authority is tied to liability. If you make a bad decision, you lose your own money. That fear of loss is the only thing that keeps a business honest. It forces you to cut waste, obsess over the customer, and stay late to fix what is broken. Today, we have severed that link. We have rigged the game so that heads, the Insider wins; tails, the shareholder loses. If the stock goes up, the Insider collects a massive performance bonus. If the stock crashes due to their own incompetence, they are fired with a "Golden Parachute" worth tens of millions. They are gambling with the house’s money, and they never leave the table poorer than they arrived. This looting starts in the boardroom. We have normalized a "Country Club" culture where directors are selected based on social profiling rather than their ability to build a business. The modern board member is often a professional tourist—paid an average of $350,000 a year. Let’s be brutally honest about what that number represents. The average director is paid nearly five times the GDP per capita of the United States. They earn more for attending four quarterly lunches than the vast majority of Americans earn in five years of hard labor. And for what? Most of these directors are "over-boarded," sitting on three or four boards simultaneously. They treat directorships as a gig economy for the elite. They fly in, rubber-stamp a compensation package they didn't read, and fly out. They collect checks from companies they do not understand, do not use, and certainly do not love. They are not there to ask hard questions. They are there to be collegial. They are there to protect the other Insiders. And what happens when these boards hire executives who also have no personal capital at risk? We get the Delegation Economy. When a Risk-Free Insider faces a crisis—bloated expenses, a broken supply chain, or a stale product—they do not roll up their sleeves. They hire a consultant. They pay a strategy firm millions of shareholder dollars to produce a 100-page deck telling them what they already know. This is not management. It is intellectual money laundering. They use shareholder capital to buy an insurance policy for their own careers. If the plan fails, they can blame the consultants. They delegate the work because they are terrified of the responsibility. They would rather preside over a slow, comfortable decline than risk a bold mistake. While American Insiders are busy optimizing their severance packages, our global competitors are optimizing their products. They are not slowed down by bureaucracy. They are not waiting for a slide deck. They are outworking us. If we continue to fill our C-suites with administrators instead of operators, we will lose our edge. We will see iconic American franchises hollowed out by fees, managed for the benefit of the Insiders, while the true owners—the shareholders—are left holding the bag. The time for polite governance is over. If we want to save the American economy from mediocrity, we must demand a return to the "Owner’s Mentality." We need leaders who treat shareholder capital with the same reverence they treat their own savings. The era of the Risk-Free Insider must end.

The billionaire class is on the warpath against working families. They want more and more, and they will not be satisfied until they have it all. Instead of spending tens of millions on ads against a wealth tax, we have a better idea: Start paying your fair share of taxes.

It’s an old trick the billionaires play, but it’s effective. Time and time again, the wealthy divide the masses over single issues as the rich walk away with the loot.

Meta just sent $65 MILLION to two pro-tech super PACs. All those tax breaks we're giving corporations? They're not using them to create jobs, give back to society, or lower costs. They're using them to buy politicians who will keep cutting their taxes and making them richer.

I’ll be honest. This has been the easiest minor drawdown for risk assets over the last 3 years because it has been so obvious and controlled. Only inexperienced, nervous newbs actually think there is something fundamental going on. We will be higher shortly. Maybe much higher.

Cardone Capital adds more BTC at $67,000. We are cash flow positive on our real estate and expect to hold both the Real Estate and BTC for long periods of time. We have NO DEBT on the BTC and 5 year fixed debt on the real estate.

Having wasted enough energy to power China for a decade for no good reason and raised the price of electronics for all of us, the pyramid scheme also known as Bitcoin seems to have finally ran out of the greedy and the gullible.

Yeah I too felt cosplay tough once about my Pokemon cards.... Nonetheless Bitcoin ( #HypotheticalAssets ) exist to empower criminals and enrich their enablers. What your scam stands for: Providing means for tax cheats, corrupt politicians, degenerate level gamblers, organized criminal networks, oligarchs, insurrectionists, thiefs. Just to name a few. As they work toward giving them (above) the tools for their criminal trade and providing themselves (the boosters) the exit liquidity (diamond handed hodlers) they so desperately need for their scheme to succeed. BTW I have some amazing tulips for sale! Guaranteed to goto the moon!
