The most astonishing thing is that budget expenditures fell by 20% in December!!!!
This will lead to a significant slowdown in the entire economy!

Budget revenues in December grew by 8% year-on-year.
I suspect they added some non-tax funds (fines, seizures, etc.) to the budget.

Protein powders are overrated if you don't understand Essential Amino Acids.
Here's what actually matters for muscle growth and performance. 🏆🧵
Here's what actually matters for muscle growth and performance. 🏆🧵
Your body doesn’t actually use protein. It uses the building blocks of protein- amino acids.
Your body combines amino acids to form bone, muscles, hormones & neurotransmitters.
Your body can produce most of the amino acids it needs.
But there’s a twist…

Your body can produce most of the amino acids it needs.
But there’s a twist…
There are 9 amino acids your body CANNOT produce.
You need to consume these 9 in order to function.
That's why they're called "Essential Amino Acids" or EAAs.
With these 9, your body can make all the rest.
Cool huh?

381 days. That’s how long the Black community in Montgomery walked, carpooled, and biked to dismantle bus segregation. It wasn't just a moment—it was one of the most organized acts of nonviolent resistance in history. And, one of the longest. (cont)

We all know Rosa Parks’ brave "No," but the logistics were a masterpiece. To make the boycott work, the MIA (Montgomery Improvement Association) organized a fleet of 300+ private cars to act as a DIY transit system. They out-managed the city’s own infrastructure. (cont)

Every day, but especially on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we're reminded of the systemic racism that plagues every part of the U.S. criminal legal system – from arrest to sentencing and even reentry.

Black children are disproportionately targeted by the criminal legal system. Just 14% of all youth under 18 in the U.S. are Black, yet 47% of boys and 39% of girls in juvenile facilities are Black.

1. Banks WANT You in Debt
Banks profit when you pay interest, not principal.
That's why they've extended car loans from 3 years to 6+ years.
Sure, your monthly payment is lower, but you pay WAY more in interest.
Here's the insider tip:
• Interest rate < 10% = "smart debt" (keep it)
• Interest rate > 10% = "bad debt" (pay it off ASAP)
Why? Because you can make 7-10% in the S&P 500 historically.

In 1910, the richest 0.00001% households in the U.S. owned wealth equivalent to 4% of U.S. national income.
Today: 12%.
The wealth and power of the super-rich now far exceeds its Gilded Age peak

And express the wealth of the top 0.00001% as a fraction of total US national income (as opposed to total US household wealth)gabriel-zucman.eu/files/PSZ2021J…
What this statistic means is simple:
If they spent all their wealth, the top 0.00001% (= 19 households today) could buy close to 12% of the value of all the goods and services produced in a given year in the US
As opposed to 4% at the peak of the first Gilded Age

Cortisol isn’t just making you anxious.
It’s killing your testosterone, storing belly fat, and wrecking your sleep.
Here’s how to shut your stress switch off and reclaim your brain🧵

Here’s how to shut your stress switch off and reclaim your brain🧵
1. Fix your posture.
Slouched posture keeps your body in fight-or-flight.
Collapsed shoulders and forward head posture compress your vagus nerve and restrict full breathing.
Fix this, and you stop sending “danger” signals to your nervous system all day.
Realign, and let your body calm down.

2. The physiological sigh
It’s one of the fastest ways to calm your nervous system, and works amazing for immediate stress reduction.
Do 2 quick inhales through the nose
Then a slow, extended exhale through the mouth
This taps your vagus nerve & drops cortisol within seconds.
