🗳️🇨🇴Colombia raised the minimum wage 23% in January 2026. Mainstream narrative says this boosted Petro's approval and gives Cepeda a structural advantage in 2026. The data tells a different story.🐾🧵
Most Colombians paid for the raise without receiving it. The math behind Petro's electoral floor is real, but it falls short of what continuity needs to win. A trader's read.

DANE numbers, October 2025.
- Of 23.71M employed Colombians, only 2.4M (10%) earn exactly minimum wage. The legal increase applies to that 10%.
- 11.38M (48%) earn below minimum wage, mostly informal, untouched by the decree.
- 9.93M (42%) earn above minimum wage, no automatic raise.

Of the 9.93M above minimum wage, the segment between 1 and 2 SMMLV (around 6M workers) got nothing automatic.
Their contracts only adjust through collective bargaining or company policy. Most companies indexed to inflation at 5.1%, not to the 23% hike.
The wage gap between minimum wage and slightly above collapsed structurally.

The 57th 9/11 pretrial hearing at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba began today after a 4.5 hour delay due to technical difficulties. 
All four defendants were present this afternoon, as required for the first session of a hearing.

Workers are not treated fairly in America.
Workers' rights have been eroded, experienced employees are tossed aside for short-term stock gains, and wages are not keeping up with the cost of living, while wealth inequality soars.
Here are four ways we can address this:
Workers' rights have been eroded, experienced employees are tossed aside for short-term stock gains, and wages are not keeping up with the cost of living, while wealth inequality soars.
Here are four ways we can address this:
🔸 A higher minimum wage.
In 1968, the federal minimum wage was a livable wage and kept a family of three above the poverty line.
Today, the minimum wage has half the buying power and is a poverty wage for a single person in every state across the nation.

🔸Strengthen protections for unions
Unions have been under heavy attack since the 1970s, reducing the share of workers with union membership from 30% in the late 60s to just 10% today.
Corporations not only spend heavily on lobbying to weaken worker rights, but they also spend $400 million each year on what they call “union avoidance”.
Amazon, which has 1/3 of its warehouse workers relying on food assistance to survive, spent $26 million on anti-union consultants last year and has engaged in illegal union-busting, as have several other major companies.
60 million workers want to join unions, but only 16 million are covered by union contracts. This shows how successful corporations have been in blocking organized labor.

trading gaps on $ES or $NQ recently has been tough... the fill rates aren't great.
so we changed one setting on our gap fill report on ES and it took the data from 64% to 86% over the last 6 months.
here's the data + strategy breakdown:
so we changed one setting on our gap fill report on ES and it took the data from 64% to 86% over the last 6 months.
here's the data + strategy breakdown:
most traders target the full gap fill. price gaps, you wait for it to retrace 100% back to yesterday's close.
on ES over the last 6 months in the NY session, full fills only hit 59% on gap ups and 64% on gap downs.
we're looking to trade setups with > 65-70% numbers.

we're looking to trade setups with > 65-70% numbers.
so here's what to do:
instead of targeting 100% gap fill, you target 50%.
you take profit at the halfway point between today's open and yesterday's close.
price doesn't have to travel as far, the trade closes more often, and the win rate should go up.

It had massive short interest.

Justice Alito fires back at Justice Jackson, calling her solo dissent "baseless and insulting" and "utterly irresponsible" after she accused the majority of abandoning principle for power.
Justice Alito goes on to say that Justice Jackson's rhetoric "lacks restraint."
Alito also makes special mention of how long this case was pending without a ruling, noting that failure to act might run out the clock for those who want elections on the unconstitutional map.

Justices Thomas and Gorsuch join Alito's opinion. No justice joined Jackson in her dissent.

With the world population of Wasians growing, will Kazakhstan become the Wasian Israel? A place Wasians everywhere in search of an identity can call their ancestral homeland, young Wasians in the west becoming ‘Kazakh-boos’ and taking their birthright trips to the Kazakh steppe?
Kazakhstan has embraced the ‘Bullet Train Model of Economic Development’ - its cities are some of the shiniest in the second world; a huge soft power asset and very instagrammable, perfect for sharing on the social media feeds of disaffected, impressionable young wasians
The 22nd Century will be the Wasian Century. In America, powerful and wealthy Wasian groups with roots in the Bay Area will ensure the Kazakh lobby becomes the biggest lobby in American politics. “Kazakhstan is our greatest ally” will be a frequently-stated foreign policy refrain
🚨 The Supreme Court has immediately issued its judgment striking down Louisiana’s congressional map as a racial gerrymander.
The district court has ordered Louisiana to submit a compliance plan within 3 days of this judgment.
The three-judge panel will now oversee the redrawing of the congressional map to comply with the Supreme Court's ruling in Callais.

Mark Carney just announced Canada’s first-ever “Sovereign Wealth Fund.”
He’s calling it the Canada Strong Fund.
It’s $25 billion the government gets to spend on a list of “major projects” it decided to fast-track.
It sounds complicated. But it isn’t. Watch, I'll show you.
Here’s what you need to know first:
The government has a budget. 💸
Right now, that budget is in the negative.
That means the government spends more than it collects in taxes.
Every dollar it spends is a dollar it borrows.
And borrowing isn’t free.

Every dollar it spends is a dollar it borrows.
And borrowing isn’t free.
Right now it costs the government 2.25 % for every $100 it borrows. 📊
Let’s use the Canada Strong Fund as a real example:
When the government borrows $25 Billion:
$25 Billion × 2.25 % =
$562,500,000 per year in interest
That’s $1.54 million every single day
Of debt the government now owes the banks.
But how does that affect you?

PROPOSAL N\O. 158, 2026 (special resolution) is not law. Passes
A staggering loophole in Georgia law seems to say that, if a justice loses reelection, they could resign & cancel election post facto.
One of 2 justices on the May ballot assured to Bolts they won’t do that. The other didn’t answer. boltsmag.org/georgia-suprem…
One of 2 justices on the May ballot assured to Bolts they won’t do that. The other didn’t answer. boltsmag.org/georgia-suprem…
The justice who didn’t answer was part of the majority opinion that expanded the loophole in 2020, raising fears that it may be used in this way into the future. One of the most bizarre stories we’ve had to cover at Bolts since 2022. boltsmag.org/dystopian-loop…
Especially given the extraordinarily tragic and frankly incomprehensible events of December 2024. In that case, the governor refused the judge’s resignation but critics of the loophole say the law has to change so this isn’t up to the governor. boltsmag.org/georgia-judici…
