The country is facing a serious crisis. We need to act to avert it. And address its root causes. Moralistic postures will not provide the answer. My article on who stands to suffer most from the current anti-migrant mobilisation. dailymaverick.co.za/opinioni…

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy. Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes. The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled. The conclusion is one sentence. "At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand." An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody. Here is how you get there. A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself. Because the workers who were fired were also customers. When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation. The loop has no natural exit. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements. Every single one failed in the model. The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger. No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it. Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion." Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem. Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it. Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place. Source: Falk & Tsoukalas · Wharton School Boston University · arxiv.org/pdf/2603.20617

Stained glass - I can’t tell if they are doing their best and simply don’t have the capacity or better yet to deliver a production … or even worse they are aware that they are not the one …which is just plain greedy ..

It’s always those “dealerships”
BREAKING] There is a vehicle (Bentley) currently being repossessed by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) allegedly belonged to Hangwani Maumela before changing ownership four times since October last year (when we broke the story of authorities conducting a raid at his Oxford Road residence) Records indicate that the vehicle is now registered to Luthaga Trading, a company linked to Maumela's sister. However, despite reportedly being sold for R3 million, the Bentley remains in the possession of the dealership. Basically, the car changed ownership multiple times WHILE it stayed at the dealership all along. The dealership is owned by Yusuf Omar, who is scheduled to appear in court on 3 July to explain why he should not be arrested for allegedly being in contempt of court. The SIU is continuing its investigations into the ownership and movement of assets linked to the matter involving Maumela. #Sabcnews

This is still cool
A wonderful night out in Budapest. Truly proud of the Gunners & how they acquitted themselves out there today. As someone who has been attending Champions League finals religiously since Madrid 2010 - this was a rather special one. See you in Madrid next June. #PSGvArsenal
