Soon after independence, Kenya’s political elites embraced an Extractive System of government in which a small cabal use their positions to loot public resources at the expense of the ordinary citizen.   Today, under William Ruto, that extractive system has become a full-blown criminal enterprise. Across virtually every public sector, the President, his cabinet, top officials in government, and corrupt businessmen have turned government into their own business. #ukombozi

How many of these American wiz kids will be able to start a manufacturing company or do something that isn't purely extractive?

Extractive teams optimize for impressions,,, Exceptional teams optimize for conviction. Green Acres was the proof of concept,,, Time to raise the standard for NFT marketing 👀

Now: public hearing on Mpls data center moratorium. The HERC trash burner uses 200M gals of Mpls water/yr. We don't need another extractive facility. Let's focus on reducing sacrifice zones and long-term zero waste jobs. Defend the moratorium!

PHOTO SPEAKS 📸 The Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), Hon. Musa Sarkin Adar, paid a courtesy visit to the Executive Chairman of the Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS), Zacch A. Adedeji PhD, at the Corporate Headquarters. NEITI, the agency responsible for promoting transparency and accountability in Nigeria's extractive industries through the monitoring and disclosure of revenues generated from oil, gas, and mining activities, plays a critical role in ensuring that the nation's natural resource wealth translates into sustainable development outcomes. The visit provided an opportunity for both institutions to explore areas of collaboration, particularly in data sharing, revenue assurance, information exchange, policy alignment, and strengthening institutional frameworks that promote transparency and improve domestic revenue collection. The engagement highlights the shared commitment of NEITI @nigeriaeiti and NRS to building a more transparent, accountable, and efficient public revenue ecosystem that supports Nigeria's economic growth and development objectives. #NRSNigeria #NEITI

#RDC 🇨🇩🇨🇩 En marge du coup d'envoi de la DRC Mining Week 2026 à Lubumbashi, le Directeur Général de l'ARSP, @juantedbelkas, a présenté ses civilités au Président de l'Assemblée provinciale du Haut-Katanga, l'Honorable Michel Kabwe Mwamba. Cet échange institutionnel stratégique, qui s'est tenu à la veille de ce grand rendez-vous minier, a permis de renforcer la collaboration entre le régulateur et les autorités provinciales autour d'un objectif commun : l'application rigoureuse de la loi sur la sous-traitance pour stimuler l'entrepreneuriat local. En consolidant ce front institutionnel, l'ARSP réaffirme sa détermination à faire de l'industrie extractive le véritable moteur d'une classe moyenne congolaise, en parfaite adéquation avec la vision du Chef de l'État, Félix-Antoine Tshisekedi. @Presidence_RDC @fatshi13 @FelixUdps @ArspRdc @22Chancellatsha @tresorkanda2 @SergeKanyinda13 @STraitance @mbuyi_don @MuadiLaeticia @22Chancellatsha

Framing polymarket and hyperliquid as not extractive is interesting when the majority of users lose money lol How about apps that aren’t financial or does everything that to be gambling and ponzi
