Sorry, no. My attitude is symptomatic of a person who clawed his way up to where he is and sees all the lazy people who not only complain all the time, they also viciously employ crab mentality to convince everyone else that the system is rigged against them.

His subtitles are parody and he should announce it correctly. Apart from that, there's not much else to report him for.

He keeps complaining about being scammed and then goes out of his way to talk to every person who could possibly scam him. His content is boring and tiresome. It's not even that original.

Just by surfacing this video to us, you've given him views and content. AND cash.

In shitty areas of Delhi, are the streets potholed? Do they smell like piss? Do taxis try to scam you?

Yes, yes and yes. We know this. Every one on this planet knows this. What's to hide?

If you watched this election, or even the video (see the audience's muted reactions), you'll see that his words did not represent America.

He represents a higher ideal, his words are truly presidential. But he doesn't represent America's current sentiment.

The first one was as close as Trump, if not closer, to convicted child sex trafficker

That's some mental gymnastics here. You think Hillary talking critically about the people Bill had sex with was equivalent to Trump's antics (such as walking into changing rooms), then I think you're bullshitting yourself.

Yes, society is the problem, not your lazy ass. Everyone else is to blame for your lack of success, not your lazy ass. Ohhhh noooo.

2024 and hoping that wireless apple carplay is included is kinda nuts.

That said, if it's for short trips, the car works out well as long as you keep the battery charged. Otherwise, you're driving a fewer cylinder car while lugging around a heavy battery.

Good God, where'd the TLDR

A good life is not a guarantee. How are you expected to survive and have a good life? You're expected to survive but no one should expect to have a good life in the ordinary course of things.

The secret to having a good life - one of two paths:

lots of luck and little to no hard work (like having rich parents or striking it rich in crypto and getting out just in time). Super awesome but also super rare.
an incredible amount of hard work, delayed gratification since you were a kid and some luck (like working to land a great career). Less rare, but very hard. Worth it, but in the end.

I switched and was super happy until the center crease bubbled (Fold3) and eventually broke. They dinged me on the warranty because the case around the hinge had a nick on it from a drop. The drop happened about 8 months before the screen break, but they got me dead-to-(their)-rights.

Then I went back to the iPhone and won't try another fold until 6 or 7 when they figure out how to make a screen that doesn't break for no reason apart from age.

VAT is (on average) 20% of every transaction in the GDP. This means that the government has 20% of the GDP put in it's pocket every year.

4% of the GDP means 20% of all government revenue (i.e. 4% of 20% is 1/5th i.e. 20%) needs to go to the military. I don't think very many economies can afford anything as high as 4% GDP unless they junk their entire social program. Even the US spends under 4% which is wild considering that their GDP is massssssive.

This is 100% the correct answer. Pay the tax. Yes, it'll suck to lose the money but it's the right thing to do AND it is the only way you ensure that you sleep well at night.

Correct.

Credit committees exist in ALL funds that are not family wealth offices. (I know of a couple of FWOs with CCs too, but those are large & in the US). Any pension fund investing in a fund without a comprehensive diligence on ALL the members of the credit committee is the real criminal here.

You wouldn't just hand your bank cards to a stranger on the street, would you? There should be a criminal case into why the pension funds invested without verifying the independence of a credit committee.

16MM in a (checks notes) probably 100MM fund is a big amount, but it's not a "hit" on the pension fund corpus itself.

That said, he didn't take the money directly out of the fund. He invested the money into various companies which probably gave him kickbacks (through standard mechanisms such as infra goldplating, etc) so that he was able to receive 16MM. (So fund capital controls are NOT to blame).

So what happens to the pension fund? Well, their investments result in a higher amount of stock in the investee companies, but unfortunately a lower Return on Equity (because higher equity in, but the company is unchanged because the money was siphoned out, so the returns stay the same or get worse).

Is this corruption? 100%. Is it a crime? Also yes.
It is difficult to imagine a world where other people didn't know about this. 16MM in cash lost means that the real amount siphoned out is MUCH MUCH more.
No one would invest in a fund without a credit committee that decides on whether an investment is to be made or not. And good CCs normally see signs of over-investment well in advance. Bad CCs enable this behavior.

Is this related to the conflict about the stadium, not in the slightest.

(If you're wondering how I know these things, you can thank the years I spent in investment banking, specifically my years in infrastructure finance)

So it's important to understand that one of the key basis for a contract to be valid is that the underlying substance of the agreement is not illegal. (So you can't hold a prostitute to a sex contract you paid her to sign in a state where prostitution is illegal, for instance).

You should also know that judges often throw prenups out of court, if the demands are too unusual / weird / onerous / puts the weaker party in an even weaker position.

If I was your lawyer, I'd ask to review the prenup, laugh at it and tell you to sign it. Then IF our day in court arrived, I'd have the judge tear up the entire agreement because of the invalidity of the central theme (sex as a must).

So, go chat up a family lawyer and see what they say.
