Gli italiani hanno inequivocabilmente votato per il fallimento dell’INPS.

Davvero istruttivo leggere i commenti di chi vuole insegnarti l'economia senza capire il concetto di adverse selection.
Proviamoci con un semplice quiz da prima ragioneria:

Il candidato esamini il caso di due Paesi: il Paese A concede la cittadinanza dopo 5 anni, il Paese B dopo 10 anni (+ 3 anni di burocrazia).

In quale Paese sceglierà di lavorare un immigrato ad elevata professionalità e ad alto reddito potenziale?
E quale invece attrarrà proporzionalmente più immigrati a bassa qualifica?

It doesn't seem to be common knowledge but your thyroid gland NEEDS vitamins & minerals to function correctly:

iodine -> to create T4

selenium -> conversion from inactive (T4) to active (T3) thyroid hormone

B-vitamins and vitamin C -> draws iodine into the thyroid gland

vitamins A and D -> in order for the active T3 to enter the nucleus of the cells

zinc, magnesium, sodium, & calcium -> needed for activating the metabolic processes.

vitamin E, K2, & copper -> prevent oxidative damage and lipid peroxidation of PUFAs

choline-> peripheral T4 to T3 conversion functions properly in the liver.

Now understand why a quality multivitamin supplement could improve thyroid function?

(or you could just eat beef liver, eggs & raw milk to maximise your nutrient intake)Image

Arla has ended the Bovaer trial in the UK, just after massive problems appeared in Denmark. But what bovine stupidity led to Bovaer being introduced in the first place? A thread (1/n) Image
Bovaer is a product of the Net Zero cult that has seen UK FIRES call for beef and lamb to eliminated by 2050. Of course they want to reduce methane emissions as well as CO2 (2/n) Image
The CCC have been less draconian. They want meat consumption to fall 35% by 2050 compared to 2019 and a 38% cut in the number of cattle and sheep, despite acknowledging methane emissions are already 62% lower than 1990 levels (4/n)

If you haven’t read this book yet, I recommend it. Here are 18 important summarized quotes: Image
1. Your mind is a goal-seeking system; give it a clear target and it will work toward it automatically.

2. Self-image is the foundation of your success or failure in life.

3. You cannot outperform the picture you hold of yourself inside.
4. Relaxed and confident thoughts produce better results than tense effort.

5. Imagine success clearly, and your subconscious will search for ways to achieve it.

6. Mistakes are feedback, not proof of failure.

This is the story of the man who would become the first ruler to be known as “the Great” after Alexander, and, like him, would be at his peak the most powerful man on Earth, who inherited a decaying empire, and led it to greatness. It's the story of Antiochos III. 🧵 Image
Antiochus wasn't destined to become a king. He was the younger son of Seleukos II, and so, his brother became king as Seleukos III afterwards. When he in turn was assassinated while campaigning in Anatolia, Antiochos ascended to the throne in 223 BC. Antiochos was ~20 yo. Image
The empire he inherited was in crisis. Two realms, the Parthian and Greco-Bactrian kingdoms, had formed out of its northeastern part, and in Anatolia, the kingdom of Pergamon had made progress against the Seleukids. In addition, royal power had declined under his predecessors. Image

A thread on Homs today:

1) The Bedouin couple that was murdered lived on the edge of Mouhajireen neighborhood, they had lived there for 30 years and were known by everyone. Of course their killing was intended to cause this chaos
2) they were from the Beni Khaled tribe, who responded by storming the mostly Alawi Mouhajireen neighborhood, vandalizing homes and potentially killing two people (unconfirmed as far as I know).

Around 1:20pm armed convoys arrived in central Homs shooting in the air.
3) At this point Zahraa & Abbasiyah neighborhoods were locked down (both are adjacent to Mouhajireen). General security deployed on all main entrances and were turning cars away

The neighborhoods were already ghost towns with almost every shop closed and streets empty

En 1892, el catalán Ramón Gabarró presentó una pila tan avanzada que los ingenieros de la época pensaron que era imposible que funcionara. Nadie imaginó que aquel invento olvidado acabaría siendo la raíz de Duracell y de la batería que llegó a la Luna. Tira del hilo 🧵👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 Image
Gabarró era un autodidacta incansable que estaba convencido de que la electricidad portátil debía ser ligera, segura y barata, algo que las pilas existentes no podían ofrecer. Por eso desarrolló una pila seca compacta mucho más estable que cualquier otra de aquel momento. Image
Su objetivo era mostrarla en París y Londres, donde llegó a presentarla ante técnicos y empresas. Incluso hizo pruebas en tranvías, pero el clima político europeo y la falta de financiación hicieron que su invento quedara estancado y regresara a España con su proyecto paralizado. Image

Bloomberg: Trump’s “peace plan” was secretly written in Miami by Witkoff, Putin’s envoy Dmitriev, & Jared Kushner.

This is how Moscow hijacked U.S. policy.
Bigger than Watergate.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺

Bloomberg confirms: Ukraine is being pressured by a compromised White House to accept a deal effectively written by Russia — the 28-point plan was drafted in Miami. Rubio was blindsided, Trump approved it at the last minute, & Vance took control in Washington.

🇺🇦🇺🇸🇪🇺🇷🇺

The Guardian found native Russian wording — & Rubio confirmed the draft was crafted with Putin’s envoy before backpedaling.

Senators King, Rounds & Shaheen say Rubio told them the 28-point plan is “the Russians’ wish list” given to Ukraine/Europe to create panic

@Liv_Agar @CallaWalsh The Nazi war machine was already ramping up for war against the USSR specifically, with the 'Western' Empires hoping that Fascist Germany would deal with the "communist menace" for them.

The USSR was able to secure advanced machining tech in exchange for raw materials
@Liv_Agar @CallaWalsh The basis of the USSR's victory was its rapid industrialization, its how they fought off and destroyed 3/4ths of the Nazi military

The USSR strengthened by the year in the 1930s, while the Germans, lacking the manpower or resources for a war of attrition, weakened comparatively

This is the story of how I nearly lost everything to activist Swedish Social Services.

In 2017, my family and I were living in Sweden.

I had lived there before as a single man. We thought it was the safe, stable, open society everyone in the West keeps praising.

What happened instead nearly destroyed us.

I am a former Marine with a couple combat deployments to Afghanistan (this detail matters) and was part of Marine Corps Forces European Command in Germany. I worked for Amazon Web Services with a Nordic focus, staged in Stockholm

I managed teams across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland.

We lived in the countryside, paid taxes, followed every rule. We even insisted on speaking the local language.

We tried to be the ideal expat family.Image
Then the Swedish social services system turned its eyes on my family.

Not because of abuse. Not because of neglect.
One of my kids insisted on being "decidedly American". He climbed trees, he was enthusiastic, he was proud of my military service, he would not stand in line if he couldn't determine a reason. He was the James Dean 'Rebel Without a Cause' archetype, despite our pleadings.

And in Sweden, that non-compliance simply would not do.

What we didn't know was that the Swedish Social Services system is engineered to view foreign families as disruptions to the social order if they are not "Swedish Enough" (their words).

Once you fall into their process, innocence and evidence do not matter.

All that matters is their internal bureaucratic logic.

If they decide you are a target, you are a target.

Swedish friends warned me that Social Services was the last holdout of hard-line Marxists who believed the doctrine of the "New Swedish Man" (Nya Svenska Man), where they could recreate people based on their social and political doctrines.

And because we were Americans during the first Trump Admin, pursuing us was considered "punching up".Image
We began to notice things. Strangers watching our house. Our kids would come home from school and tell us they were taken out of class in a room with strangers and talked for hours. But they couldn't remember about what. They were 1, 9, 11, and 13. But it was basically about if they were happy at home.

We started getting unexplained letters and visits from state employees. Teachers calling us, telling us that our kids wouldn't listen, would climb trees, put olives on their fingers at lunch, or go to the bathroom without asking. We were told it was "unusual".

We received a letter telling us to meet with state officials, so we did. The kids were taken and put in a room and interrogated (after being plied with juice and cookies).

Most know Kirill Dmitriev as the Russian president’s envoy. But to more than 200 investors in Ukraine, he is known for taking part in a Kyiv real estate project that ended in a fraud and criminal case. Using articles from 2011, I was able to find more details. 🧵Thread: Image
2/ The story begins in 2000s, when N. Lahuna and A. Dmitriev (Kirill Dmitriev’s father) planned the elite suburban “Olympic Park.” Construction was to be carried out by Traverz-Bud, a subsidiary of "Evropa", in which, according to "Argument," Kirill Dmitriev held a majority stake Image
3/ Based on court documents cited in the media, in 2011 (links at the end), a prosecutor’s audit found that construction of the properties, which under agreements with the developers of the “Olympic Park” was due to be completed by the end of 2008, has not been carried out Image

A thread of practical ways to learn how to trade crypto funding

The common method is to learn a bunch of nerd stuff and then get liquidated, scammed, hacked or rugged

Instead I propose funding a DeFi wallet with a small amount of money ($100 is fine) and FAFO

IMO you want to do things in this order

1. Long spot short perps with a large cap coin
2. Long spot short perps with a shitcoin
3. Dirty carry (stat-arb carry factor) on a tier 1 exchange
4. Dirty carry on a 3rd tier shitcoin casino
5. Funding rate arbs
/2
These get progressively more difficult operationally, and more profitable too

But not doing them in this order means you miss out on the key intuitions

So lets start with a simple trade

But first ima need you to understand perps

19-Jähriger stürzt auf
▶️ AfD-Weihnachtsfeier ab – und
▶️ attackiert einen ausländischen Arzt in der Notaufnahme

Nur auf den ersten Blick ist die Geschichte von
Matthis M. (Name geändert) schnell erzählt. Image
Dann, wenn man sich darauf beschränkt, die Ereignisse zu schildern, die sich in der Nacht zum
16. Dezember 2024 abgespielt haben.

Am Abend zuvor hat der junge Mann aus dem Gebhardshainer Land eine Weihnachtsfeier der AfD auf dem Westerwald besucht.
Dort hat er laut Zeugenaussagen gesungen und geredet, vor allem aber: ▶️ getrunken und gekifft.
So viel, dass er gegen Mitternacht mit Atemaussetzern und Krämpfen auf dem Boden lag und seine Parteifreunde den Notarzt rufen mussten.

‼️Holocaust-Relativierer
der AfD, die behaupten, dass sie den Holocaust NICHT RELATIVIEREN.
‼️Schwer erträglich.

Info zum HOLOCAUST
Und das Ziel war nicht „Unterwerfung“ oder „Vertreibung“.
‼️Das Ziel war: AUSLÖSCHUNG. KOMPLETT.
▶️ Bis zum letzten Kind.
▶️ Ein ganzes Volk sollte aus der Welt radiert werden, weil es existiert.
Kein „Konflikt“, kein „Bürgerkrieg“, kein
„beide Seiten“-
‼️Das war ideologisch gereinigter Vernichtungswille, in Aktenordnern abgeheftet und mit Stempeln versehen.

▶️ Das macht den Holocaust einzigartig – und ja, deshalb „das schlimmste Verbrechen“:
▶️ Weil hier die Kälte des Systems auf den Fiebertraum des RASSISMUS traf.
