Never move somewhere just to save money on taxes The whole point of being rich is to not have to live in New Jersey
What finance related opinion do you have that will have people like this?
CONTROLLED MEDIA IN OVERDRIVE TO BOOST TRUMP'S EGO SINCE ALL DEALS ARE FAKERY.
In the Trump-dominated global economy, the U.S. gets plenty but gives nothing in return. axios.com/2025/07/28/tru…
every successful person I know is the same slightly autistic obsessed crazy made a lot of sacrifices 100% confident relentless delusional there’s no easy way to achieve shit and become someone….
2025: There is no room for another China - enter India.

No. The Deep State did. Trump tried to stop it. But, no one cares.
Israeli coalition members belive that Trump gave a green light to occupy the Gaza Strip and rebuild Jewish settlements there, according to Israeli media
Word!
$$ raised is a bullshit metric, literally fake success. When investors want to give you a lot more money to meet ownership target or what ever, refuse it. Too much money will actually destroy you. Loss of urgency, over hiring and over paying, spending too much time on something…
What makes the Trump tariff thing so bleak is that whoever the next president is will undo them. None of this stuff went through congress so it's all temporary. Just pain on American suppliers, investors and consumers for no real reason. But, maybe it's deserved.
Thailand and Cambodia will enforce an unconditional ceasefire from midnight. Trump announced yesterday that he pressured both states to agree on a ceasefire. One geopolitical hotspot less in the Indo-Pacific region is actually a good news for everybody!
This is the equivalent of $2500/baby/year in the USA
China is launching its first *national* baby subsidy. $500 per child, per year under the age of 3 (public Kindergarten age in China). About half a month's average income. This comes on top of the one-time or yearly subsidies that many local governments have already announced.
"It feels like Europe has entered a new phase. Not Europe vs the US or China, but a deeper, internal crisis with itself." The EU is built for the world of globalization, not the world of geopolitics. A "postmodern" form of governance. But the world didn't become "postmodern".
Europe 🇪🇺 & Appearance 🎭 & Internal crisis 😵💫 It feels like the EU has entered a new phase: - Last week was the EU-China Summit. It lasted only one day. The delegation took the bus, and several diplomats confirmed that the EU side left early, without any signs of…
My #1 reason for passing on deals lately is for not being weird or crazy enough We have an absurd amount of tech at our disposal to build on top of — why build something boring
Regular reminder that expert diligence in a sector at seed will usually make you miss actually disruptive companies it’s not ONLY about the founders - but it’s much more about them than about someone who’s giving you a cursory 30 minute view on why something will / won’t work
This is sadly true…..
Western countries are in trouble because they take stupid people and stupid ideas seriously. In most of the world, if you say men can get pregnant or countries shouldn't have borders, they'll laugh at you. In the West, they'll let you set policy and hire you to teach kids.
Chinese smart driving systems from Huawei, BYD, Xiaomi, Li Auto, etc. all performed poorly compared to Tesla on a Chinese TV program testing cars in realistic scenarios on real roads and highways. This was striking for a number of reasons: 1. Chinese ADAS is behind. Tesla was…
NEWS: Chinese media tested ADAS in various scenarios, including highways & night driving. @Tesla’s vision-based system outperformed emerging Chinese brands like Huawei & Xiaomi, as well as traditional automakers. Even with LiDAR, competitors’ ADAS performance lags behind Tesla.…
Americans who are smirking at European humiliation in accepting US tariffs don’t get it. This was an alliance that strengthened both sides, and it’s being turned into a zero-sum game by Trump that will weaken both. Trump is burning down the house and these morons are cheering.
Cheat code for attracting the right people: Be unapologetically yourself. When you edit your personality, you attract relationships that need constant maintenance. Stop filtering who you are to be liked. The right ones will stick. The wrong ones will walk. And that’s a blessing.
