Dave Mac just released an interview any family dealing with Alzheimer's needs to hear.
At 58, Jodie was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and thought there was no cure to it.
3 years later, people around her can’t tell she ever had it.
This is her story:🧵

This is her story:🧵
Jodie was a nurse practitioner.
Her first symptoms appeared at work:
• Documents took longer to complete
• Responded late to patient messages
• New computer system took forever to learn
They said she wasn't safe to practice and let her go.

Doctors first feared a fatal blood disease, then cancer.
In December 2023 they landed on early-onset Alzheimer's.
They also discovered her MoCa score was 14.
For context:
• 26-30 is normal
• 18-25 indicates mild cognitive impairment
• 10-17 is moderate
• <10 is severe

This is closest to the intuitively correct answer. Any investment made in any activity requires real resources from somewhere. The government owning a train company doesn't mean new trains can suddenly be built without using any resources.+
+Whether the real resources to fund an investment come from equity, from borrowing, from recycled internal surpluses or from taxes, they must come from somewhere.+
+The deployment of resources in an investment project is either risk-free, involves chosen risk or involves some ineliminable risk. What does "risk" mean here? It means there will be some volatility in the net cash flows that investment project's assets generate.+
Day 186 of posting a deal a day until I get a new role
Travel day so will be some commentary on a deal I was on last month… makes me think that value add investors in big cities / prestigious assets are a paradox…
Will talk through how underwriting commercial value add can be a trap🧵

Asset description
- 240k sf office, pretty nice but dated interior
- 80k sf in vacancy for various reasons partially due to deleasing strategy as we focused on other assets in portfolio
- a value add investor’s eyes light up because they can lease up 80k sf at $40 net and juice some insane returns not to mention all the fees you can slide through

Underwriting
- our bankers (and my friends at shops looking at this deal) were salivating because like I said … how hard can it be to lease up 80k sf in an amazing location and get to exit at like a 5 cap

Everything that happened today fits my original thesis of an amicable divorce. The House and Senate and Pritzker have cover. They tried. Put on a good show.
They tried so hard and came so far
A Bears bill that can pass the Senate can't pass the house (at least with Welch's rule of 60). The one that can pass both doesn't work for the Bears.
What the Senate came up with may simply not work for the Bears.

2/ 'Donetsk MartynoVa' warns that all of Russia's gains in Ukraine are now at risk due to a "summer of bloody terror" being wrought by Ukraine's seeming air supremacy:

1. The "Future Radar" Play
"Thank you for the update. I’m still very interested in [Company]’s mission. If a similar role opens up in the future, or if the selected candidate doesn’t work out, I’d love to be considered."
Why it works:
• It shows resilience.
• It positions you as the "backup plan" (which often gets hired).
• It keeps you in their active pool.

On November 21, 2024, Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a partnership with BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager controlling over $10 trillion in assets. The tweet showed him and Chancellor Rachel Reeves in meetings with BlackRock executives, declaring determination to “capitalise on the UK’s position as a world leading hub for investment.”
Within months, BlackRock had acquired 80% ownership of three British freeports, Felixstowe, Harwich, and Thamesport, giving the firm control over 60% of UK container traffic. BlackRock announced a £500 million UK data centre partnership with Digital Gravity Partners. The firm manages £2.3 trillion globally and £600 billion of the UK defined contribution pension market.

Here’s what the majority of people understand instinctively, even if they lack the economic jargon: Companies like BlackRock behave like feudal landlords. They purchase infrastructure, water systems, ports, energy grids, data centres, at above-market rates using borrowed money. Then they transfer that debt onto the companies they’ve acquired.
You, the consumer, pay off that debt through higher bills.
The company, not the asset manager, services the debt. BlackRock and its shareholders extract profits while you’re hit with rising water bills, soaring energy costs, and inflated service charges. When systems fail (see: Thames Water’s £14 billion debt and sewage-filled rivers), taxpayers face bailouts while executives who loaded the debt have already cashed out.
This is a giant Ponzi scheme.

You’re paying twice: Once through higher bills servicing corporate debt you never agreed to. Again through reduced pension returns, because your pension fund (likely managed by BlackRock) is invested in these same debt-laden structures that charge you inflated bills.
When a water company collapses under debt, when energy bills spike, when infrastructure crumbles, it’s not incompetence. It’s the system working exactly as designed: wealth extraction from the many to enrich the few.
