🚀🇦🇺 Major tax reform could make Australia's economy world-class. Christopher Joye's (@cjoye) bold blueprint: - Permanently end bracket creep - Flatter, simpler income tax (0% to 42%) - Company tax cut to a flat 20% - Zero CGT on first $20k gains 10% IP rate - Full instant expensing for business investment Funded by lifting GST to 15% (broad base), a 50% NDIS trim, and slashing public service costs by 25%. Net result? A modest surplus and a genuine productivity-led economy that rewards work, risk-taking and innovation instead of bureaucracy. Australia doesn't lack money. It lacks courage. Time to choose. #AusEconomy #TaxReform #Budget2026 #auspol

Well earned

"please don't be weird at dinner." Me one drink later:

Tucker Carlson is an American hero. There are so few at the top. It is humbling to observe him. He is in his prime.

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.

If you watch one thing today, make it this.

Conspiracy theorists right now 🥂

Watttttt They’re talking about us talking about them here on X. Inception.

PRESS RELEASE - Dangerous Overreach The Australian Lobby Group condemns actions of the Albanese government in its announcement of new extreme censorship laws it intends to force through parliament next week. This egregious overstep threatens the fundamental rights of ALL Australians and their ability to express themselves civilly as well as access uncensored information. A nation cannot claim it is a democracy where the free exchange of ideas is censored. The Prime Minister himself once made a similar statement. The actions of the Prime Minister will result in further damage to the social cohesion he claims to seek to enforce with these sweeping new laws.

Excited to drop the first trailer for my upcoming documentary about the carnivore diet, @animaldocfilm - releasing on June 20th in select theaters and worldwide on digital!

🧵THREAD: GEORGE SOROS, THE MASTERMIND Today's systems of NGOs isn't accidental - it was laid out in a vision 30 years ago by none other than George Soros. I joined @MikeBenzCyber on a livestream last night, where he was kind enough to walk us through the basics. As my bio says, I am just a tool builder. I am not a historian or academic. The information in this thread is common knowledge for many. It wasn't for me. I want to walk you through an essay which Mike pointed me to- a chilling essay written in 1993 by George Soros, "Toward a New World Order: The Future of NATO"

Innovation is art - it can’t be scaled. Scaling a team creates a hierarchy to reduce coordination costs. Hierarchy introduces the Principal-Agent problem. Agents optimize for status and cohesion over correctness. Going from zero to one requires a founder-led flat team.

⚡️JUST IN: Coinbase is reportedly exploring the launch of a tokenized version of its $COIN stock, signaling a potential move into on-chain stock trading.

Congrats!
