Tushar @tushar_jain from Multicoin thinks ZEC's brand is more conducive to institutional adoption "if Zcash has such good privacy, why are all the criminals using Monero? ...Zcash is for the regular person who says 'I care about my privacy... not because I have anything to hide, but I don't need to reveal my transaction history to everyone" ZECisode w/ @mert and @tushar_jain out next week

This is monumental.

No, Tom. Shut the fuck up and listen, Tom... The man walked into that gilded snake pit at Davos and eviscerated the entire globalist cabal with the cold, unflinching precision of a predator who’s done toying with prey. On their stage. Under their lights. Broadcast on their networks. Forced every last one of them...those smug, self-appointed overlords...to sit in silence while he carved their rotten empire to the bone. He didn’t scream. He didn’t need to. His voice was low, steady, absolute. Every sentence a kill shot. He exposed the climate hoax for the multi-trillion-dollar wealth transfer it is. He named the open-borders agenda as the deliberate dilution of sovereign nations. He called out the currency wars, the offshoring scams, the engineered collapse of Western industry...all of it orchestrated by the same parasites who lecture the rest of us about “sustainability” while burning jet fuel to fly their private fleets into Switzerland for a week of mutual back-patting and champagne. This wasn’t anger. This was execution. They perched there in their tailored hypocrisy...cashmere sweaters, bespoke suits, faces frozen in that practiced mask of enlightened concern...while the President of the United States looked them dead in the eye and ended their charade. Politely. Ruthlessly. He informed them, in plain language, that the days of America bankrolling their utopian delusions, their population-replacement schemes, their digital surveillance grid, their endless wars for “democracy”...all of it funded by the American taxpayer...are finished. Done. Over. He put the entire Davos class...the unelected technocrats, the hedge-fund vampires, the NGO grifters, the media courtesans...on explicit notice: your reign of unchallenged arrogance is terminated. We see every tentacle of your operation. We know exactly what you are: a parasitic elite that has feasted on the productive class for decades while selling the corpse back to us as “progress.” What you diagnose as “mental disturbance” is what unfiltered strength looks like to cowards who’ve spent their lives groveling before power. What you label “embarrassing” is the sound of a sovereign people finally refusing to kneel. What you find “dangerous” is the sight of your entire worldview collapsing in real time, live on global television, delivered by a man who cannot be bought, bullied, or bribed. He didn’t just address that room. He spoke past them...directly to the hundreds of millions who’ve been looted, lectured, and lied to by these people. To every factory worker whose job was shipped overseas. To every parent watching their child’s school being turned into an indoctrination camp. To every citizen tired of watching their borders erased while billionaires build moats around their own compounds. That audience of predators just witnessed the beginning of their obsolescence. They felt it...the shift in the air, the sudden realization that the protection racket they’ve run for fifty years has a new sheriff, and he’s not asking nicely anymore. They know what’s coming. They felt the ground move under their feet. And they’re terrified. So go ahead, Tom. Keep clutching your pearls. Keep diagnosing from your safe, sanitized distance. The rest of us recognize the sound of history correcting itself. Sleep lightly. The reckoning isn’t coming. It’s already here.

Requiring government to act only with full consent leads to paralysis. Unanimous agreement is impossible in large societies, so no laws, budgets, emergency actions, or rights enforcement could happen. This “perfect consent” standard logically results in no government action at al

NEWS: U.S. insurer Lemonade has announced that it will offer a 50% rate cut for drivers of @Tesla vehicles when FSD is steering because it had data showing it reduced accidents. “A car that sees 360 degrees, never gets drowsy, and reacts in milliseconds can’t be compared to a human. Beyond the product announcement today, we’re also announcing our commitment to the Tesla community – the safer FSD software becomes, the more our prices will drop,” said Shai Wininger, co-founder and president at Lemonade.

Yes, C40 Cities pushes zero cars, zero meat, and binding policies future leaders can’t undo. That’s exactly why SA should be at the table, not absent. If we leave WEF/global forums, who defends our interests? What’s the alternative strategy?

My Venezuela experience as head of trading in the region for Cargill. Cargill was/is the leading producer of critical staple ingredients such as flour, pasta, vegetable oil, and rice in VZ. I am not saying I agree with grabbing the dictator, but I did have a front row seat to the damage a kleptocracy did to innocent people. 1. The government took over our "minute rice" facility at gunpoint because we were "gouging" the nation's poor. The government was never able to run the plant. It never ran again. It was returned years later with no equipment inside 2. There are 1000's of generals in the army. They are each given a slice of the economy to loot. The large number of generals made it difficult to organize a coup against the regime. 3. The government opened grocery stores and sold staples below the cost we sold them to the government. In theory they used petro oil money to lower grocery prices. Our regular grocery outlets were forced out of business. When the government demanded we sell them products below cost we simply had to shut down. The populous became ever more dependent on the government handouts. (PS this is the mayor of New York City's proposal. 4. Dollars- We needed dollars to go buy raw materials like wheat from places like the US and Canada. The government would periodically allocate us some dollars that could only be spent for raw materials and freight. Eventually only the local companies that can and would pay bribes got dollar allocations. We had several facilities closed for lack of raw material 5. My employees liked working for Cargill. The office was an armed compound with access to a gym, high speed internet, global communications, and a weekly box of basic staples. Cargill provided a safe and secure environment if only for the working hours. 6. Employees became very close to others inside the apartment building. Going out on the street with a desperate population was not advisable. 7. I needed wood pallets for feed. We tried to export wood pallets to swap for grain. We refused to pay the bribes it would take to export the pallets 8. I once tried to set up a closed loop wheat planting to flour mill supply chain. A. They came and stole all the seed wheat for food. When we tried to ship in seed wheat in containers via US donors there was no way to get it out of the port without it being stolen 9. Livestock- Our feed business completely collapsed. Even if you could raise a pig, you couldn't defend it from being stolen. People with guns were hungry. 10. Employees- In the end my highly skilled team alone with other highly educated people chose to leave. Cargill often found jobs for them in other Latin countries. The regime was more than happy to see the well-educated leave the country. Setting these employees up with high quality stable jobs after fleeing remains one of the best things I ever did in my career. No one remembers millions in trading earnings. This is a short list. In my opinion the first money spent needs to happen now and it needs to be food. The US is already on the clock. The current regime does not care if it starves the population. The orgy of theft will actually accelerate if they believe their days are numbered. VZ should be an outstanding customer of US grown ag products. Rice, bread wheat, veg oil ect. Feed the people first. Jeff Kazin Former head trading Cargill

Many chronic interrupters aren't being rude—they might be quick thinkers whose minds jump to conclusions, connections, or responses before the speaker finishes. Their internal processing speed outpaces the ~150-200 words per minute of typical conversation.

It’s already over. We would need to start building thorium salt plants rather than nuclear uranium fuel rod plants to catch up, but US doesn’t have the technology to rollout yet. But even at that, we would need decades to build out. These thorium salt plants could run without refueling shutdown, represent an ascension to higher civilization marked by unlimited energy production from an abundant thorium natural resource, which can be built anywhere in the world, with safer inputs, and smaller footprint . China didn’t just win the nuclear race, but they are diverging from the rest of the world and moving into a new higher level of civilization the world has yet to see. Abundant thorium salt energy will render the old economics of resource acquisition from others and keeping ppl poor obsolete.
