WHY TRUMP WON/HARRIS LOST: A 🧵

I, like many others, have my concerns about Trump. But I, like many others, am happy that he won.

To those who can't fathom why Trump won, here are some good reasons – feel free to add others!

Spoiler alert: they aren't racist, sexist or stupid. Image
1/ Patriotism, prosperity, policies, positivity...

2/ Support for what people believe Trump/the Republicans stand for and a rejection of what Harris/the Democrats do

CUSUM is an algorithm for change-point detection. It's kind of magical. Here is a financial application, which is very important in itself, to showcase its magic.

A short informal 🧵, to be rewritten in a more formal technical note. Ready, let's go.

1/
Imagine you have a strategy a stream of daily (or, better, intraday) returns r[t].

One of the very basic problems in life is to know when your strategy's performance is degrading. Solving this can make or break you.

2/
Stop-loss policies, among many other things, intuitively serve also this purpose: to tell you that the strategy is not performing as it should. And they're so simple that even billionaires can understand them.

But is there a better way?

In my article, which I’ll post at the end of this, I explore the structure and history of non-governmental organizations, coined and institutionalized by the UN Charter in Chapter 71 in 1945.

When Jeremiah first told me about this, I didn’t fully understand the scope of what he was describing. He said,

“Bro, the term NGO was coined by the UN in 1945.”

I hadn’t realized that, beyond coining the term, the UN essentially legitimized and embedded NGOs into international operations that would bleed excessive influence on American politics. It’s time we change that. But we can’t change, but we don’t know.

The influence NGOs wield today is astonishing, especially given their pivotal role in shaping policies and public opinion. But now, we need to confront the darker side. Trillions of dollars have flowed to thousands of humanitarian NGOs, yet their track records are, quite frankly, dismal and demand the deepest scrutiny.

Let’s examine in detail how they serve various interests. This will be a long but essential and thorough exploration.
To give some perspective, when I teach new bomb technicians about search techniques, I always tell them that when they spot an IED threat, they need to stop focusing on it and start looking for the next one. There’s never just one. Two is one, one is none..

NGOs operate in much the same way—you can’t think of them as a single entity. Instead, they’re more like an interconnected ecosystem of alliances, foundations, and advocacy groups that reinforce and benefit each other in a highly structured and intentional way.

You can find a good example of this in my article detailing the relationships NGOs have with each other. However, one thing people often overlook, even though we know it happens, is just how crucial NGOs are to various powerful entities. Let’s start with corporations—if NGOs didn’t exist, how much harder would it be for corporations to influence American politics?
The power NGOs grant to corporations is substantial because they create an ecosystem where corporate agendas are laundered into social “good.” Without NGOs, that same level of influence would require far more overt, and legally limited, lobbying and direct political contributions, which could expose the corporate motivations and provoke regulatory or public backlash.

The most common strategy corporations use among many others?

Astroturfing,

this strategy is at the core of how corporations use NGOs to exert influence. Astroturfing, or creating the illusion of grassroots support for corporate agendas, is one of the most deceptive and effective tactics, allowing corporations to amplify their voices while seeming to represent public interest. Let’s look at the Exxon example with this in mind.

Just to be clear, i’m not against fossil fuels by any means. But I am against deceit and manipulation.

There’s no need for it. Everybody knows deep down that fossil fuel is a much needed necessity.

ExxonMobil, Astroturfing, and Environmental NGOs

ExxonMobil and other fossil fuel companies have a well-documented history of funding NGOs and front groups that claim to represent citizen concerns about energy, jobs, and economic growth.

These organizations often advocate for policies that align with Exxon’s interests, such as opposing regulations that would limit oil and gas extraction (fracking) or downplaying the environmental impacts of fossil fuel reliance.

The key here is that these groups are designed to look like grassroots movements, creating the illusion of broad public support for positions that ultimately serve corporate interests—what could be called “Astroturfing 2.0,” where corporations play both sides to secure influence while maintaining a facade of neutrality.

The Kamala Harris mistake
Democrats are still pointing fingers at one another, “Why?” They are asking, ‘why didn’t Kamala work?’ Here are ten reasons … no eleven reasons why Kamala didn’t win for Democrats
1) No cross over appeal! She only appealed to the (cont’ing)
(cont’d) Blue meat Democrat base. You know the ones who would vote for Tom Hank’s Wilson volleyball if it had a “D” on it.
2) She is unlikeable
3) She didn’t realize every time she called Donald Trump a Nazi she was calling all 73,381,825 million of us who (cont’ing)
(cont’d) voted for him… Nazis
4) Her blatant mischaracterization of Trump. We knew Trump, Trump was our President before, Trump was a public icon for at least 40 years. We knew Trump! Who we didn’t know was her!
5) Obama had already did “the first Black” thing (cont’ing)

When we talk about the basics in life, three things often come to mind for most Indians: roti, kapda, and makaan—food, clothing, and shelter.

While access to food and clothing has improved over the years, owning a home remains a distant dream for millions of people. This is especially true for lower-income groups who face huge challenges in affording or even qualifying for a home loan.
In a country with over a billion people, the dream of owning a home is widespread, but it’s not equally achievable for everyone.

India currently faces a massive housing shortage, with a gap of nearly 100 million homes. According to a study by the RBI, around 95% of this demand comes from the economically weaker sections (EWS) and lower-income groups (LIG).
In simpler terms, people from these groups often struggle to afford homes, especially in urban areas where property prices are high.

This gap also highlights a major opportunity—a ₹58 lakh crore credit market—where housing finance can play a vital role in helping more people afford homes.

For weeks, Democrats were worried that Kamala Harris couldn't do a long-form interview with...anyone. Someone who had served as vice president for four years by that point had to do weeks of preparation to talk about the exact same agenda as Joe Biden. She's not smart.
I used to be a sometimes-Hill reporter. I'd go down to Capitol Hill and ask Senators questions as they walked around in the subway segment. If I asked Ted Cruz a question about anything on God's green earth, he'd talk my ear off. And he's not Stephen Hawking.
That's not it either. Watch her videos where she talks about her family or cooks or just talks about anything besides governance and politics. She is perfectly natural and even charming. It's literally that she didn't understand her job.

Catholics determined who the 47th President of the United States would be. Image
Kamala Harris and her anti-Catholic bigotry—something that's been festering within the Democratic Party for a while—were exposed at unprecedented levels during this year's presidential race, showing people of faith that they are no longer welcome in the Democratic Party.
Kamala Harris exposed her vile hatred toward Christians by ridiculing and forcibly removing rallygoers who invoked the name of God.
