So there is a self proclaimed successful business woman that started her business ventures at 15 y/o with $5 (=8000Tsh๐Ÿคก) as per 2013 exchnange rate, now in 2020 she is 22 y/o and allegedly revenues millions of dollars from her many businesses

 She claims to have had 25 businesses, yes 25 businesses but now only has 7 that are running successfully 24/7 earning her millions of dollars in revenue.

I have no doubt that she has been hustling with a lot but that does not legitimise any of those hustles as most were shady.
Call me a hater/jealous/poor/broke or whatever but I know a scammy business when I see one and my concern is not a personal matter against her but rather people who fall for the rags to riches story and therefore pay her for business mentoring/wealth management
The following are just few among many red flags about this person's businesses, I welcome any others to contribute in this thread however they want but just keep it respectful.
๐Ÿšฉ Stealing photos from the Internet and editing her name on them for her Ad campaigns, branding them as if they were her actual products and projects while they're not. You source most of her posts just by a Google image search . And they have nothing to do with her.
๐Ÿšฉ There are almost zero known customers that we know that use her products hair oil/makeup etc even those defending her have probably never bought a single product from her and yet she brags to be selling tens of thousands of items, exaggeration.
๐Ÿšฉ She runs "million" dollar "companies" and mentors people on business organisation and marketing but all her companies use regular non-business email addresses and even WhatsApp, she uses yahoo, Gmail and even icloud . Any real professional business would never do this.
๐Ÿšฉ Her "successful" companies have no registered names and number of the company and where are they registered and also what are the physical locations of her companies/offices/industries . All her company profiles show no specific address.
๐Ÿšฉ She will lure you to take inspiration in her and then direct you to her site or seminars where you will have to pay for her course material that supposedly tell you how to become a successful business person, I suppose this is how she extracts money from desperate people.
๐Ÿšฉ Involvement in a ponzi pyramid scheme called "paydiamond". She was recruiting people to invest in this fraudulent scheme promising if you put your money it will grow by upto 250% in a short time without lifting a finger. (Do your research on Paydiamond)
๐Ÿšฉ She is a millionaire and her companies bring in millions of dollars in revenue, she's a C.E.O and founder of these companies but she's the one doing the packaging and processing of "thousands" of orders and everything else , no employees?
๐Ÿšฉ Since she sells products at an "INDUSTRIAL" scale for human consumption i.e hair oils/ slimming teas/etc ,receiving tens of thousands of orders I assume she should have approvals from foods,drugs and standards authorities, none of her "products" have these stamps. Certified?
๐Ÿšฉ When confronted with genuine questions about the really impressive revenue posts she makes, the most reliable evidence she came with was a $10 PayPal transaction received, however in all her businesses there is no product of that price.
Those other platforms are unknown
๐Ÿšฉ Apparently she owns real estate in Dubai worth $1 million, and also has 10 vacation rental properties between South Africa, Zanzibar and Nairobi, these are her Airbnb rentals thats as she mentions but never gives actual links for at least online viewings and maybe booking.
๐Ÿšฉ She admits a slow Airbnb business due to covid 19 and the global tourism industry tumbling down in 2020 (see previous image) But she goes ahead and say she actually went in search for MORE properties and will TRIPLE her Airbnbs to be 30 properties 2021.What economics is this ?
๐Ÿšฉ For her supposed amount of success she's a Tanzanian multi- millionaire, surely she'd be recognised by credible people/organisations/media , but who knows her ? At least maybe an invite to a seminar/interview that she's not the host and main speaker but a guest speaker perhaps
๐Ÿšฉ She has taught 50,000 Americans how to optimize their sales online in just ONE YEAR.
50,000 Americans went and said yes we need Business enlightenment from 20 year old Tanzanian self-made self proclaimed business mogul.
๐Ÿšฉ Her companies aren't public but private companies but she constantly shares posts of her revenues and sales/profits, who are you obliged to share these financial details with if you're not a public traded company? I think it's not a real brand at all and the figures are lies
๐ŸšฉOperating from a tax haven. We all know who loves tax havens the most are people with suspicious criminal or ill-gotten gains and malicious/fraudulent business practices. And that's where this person chooses to be running her businesses.
๐Ÿšฉ She is about to "host the biggest launch party and pop up event in EAST AFRICA" with 5 TOP MUSICIANS thats she's obviously not going to name, and its going to be a "private" concert. Lies.

I might not be a Marketer but privacy and "biggest" brand launching don't go together
๐Ÿšฉ Something isn't right, her online business pages only have a few hundred followers at most and little or no engagement , I expected more from an "online" business guru.

Main account has 100,000 followers but posts max out at a few hundred likes?
๐Ÿšฉ For a really busy multi millionaire with multiple businesses that she owns and manages,directs,accounts and packages for she seems to be having a lot of time on social media to convince people she's upto something big everytime and constantly posting and ranting 24/7
๐Ÿšฉ More Internet images she brags as her projects, I mean you teach "branding" and you own a "brand" but you source material from pirating the Internet?? Sounds unbrandy to me.
๐Ÿšฉ What I see is this whole business is a "GET RICH QUICK SCHEME" ,no different than youtube influencers that will tell you "how to be millionaires" effortlessly but only if you buy their courses.
!END! This will upset people but please do bring your credible defence and also those who see what I see can add or express their concerns here. There is a lot more I'm just tired typing and digging
Oh! And I promise anonymity if you bring me materials,confessions or any concerns regarding this.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in Australia, suffer grossly disproportionate rates of disadvantage against all measures of socio-economic status.
1-


State, territory & federal governments have introduced programs, & continue to seek to identify further methods, for redressing this disadvantage.
2-

A plethora of government programs have proven to be inadequate when considered against the requirement to raise Indigenous People to a position of equality in Australian society.
3-

The final report card for the 2008-2020 Closing-The-Gap-Program found the program only partially met 2 of the 7 outcome. 12 years on Aboriginal People still have a life expectancy a full decade less than white

Sadly there is little understanding within Australian society of the requirement to and legitimacy of adopting special measures.

1/ In @RayDalio's perspective, we are at the very late stages of the long term debt cycle. These long term debt cycles typically take 50-75 years to play out. This cycle began in 1945 when World War II ended and we began the US dollar-dominated world order.


2/ In the words of @RayDalio, "Right now, the worldโ€™s major central banks have the least fuel in their tanks since the late 1930s so are now in the later stages of the long-term debt cycle. Because they come along about once in a lifetime most people arenโ€™t aware of them."


3/ Central banks have spent the last decade in a race to see who could devalue their currency the fastest. Near 0% interest rates have meant increased printing of the dollar, euro, and yen. Central banks no longer have the ability to tighten credit so they print money.


4/ Being towards the later stages of the long-term debt cycle there is a global sovereign debt bubble similar to what we saw in the 20's & 30's. In 2019, global debt-to-gdp hit 322% with total debt reaching a new all-time high of $253 Trillion.


5/ The wealth gap has also expanded to levels last seen in the 30's. Historically, inequality and large wealth gaps have eventually led to dire consequences. Periods of conflict and social unrest often marked by taxes, revolutions, or wars.

My friend @itsafronomics wanted to know the breakdown of student debt by income, so I pulled data from the SCF.

Student debt is more concentrated amongst high earners, but disproportionately amongst Black borrowers. The plot below plots the average within Income Quartiles.
1/n


But those are the averages. What's the share that's above 10k? (This is the Biden current cutoff for debt forgiveness, so a useful benchmark).

For comparison, 20% of white Americans have student debt, and 31% of Black Americans.


Let's contrast that with say, above 20k. I was surprised at how high the share remains.


When we get to 50k of student debt, or more, we see it's only about 5% of the US, and around 8% of Black Americans. Strikingly, it's a huge share of high income Black Americans (this is a known fact in the education literature, I believe).


So what does this look like put together? Overall, we see a higher share of Americans with debt above 10k, and 20k. We would cover a decent amount with 10k, but miss Black Americans especially.

Does raising the minimum wage reduce the number of low-wage jobs?

No.

Iโ€™m beginning to think that the left has been too obsessed with GDP as a broken economic metric governing the global shitshow, when inflation is more insidious. Deflation may be a more radical demand than degrowth. Burst bubbles. Deflate the price of fossil fuel infrastructure.

Itโ€™s amazing just how much political economy is still determined by the threat of stagflation. This has created a weird metonymy in which as long as youโ€™re fight inflation (preserving the interests of (older) savers) youโ€™re also fighting stagnation (supporting (younger) earners).

To some extent the residual fear of deflationary spirals lies behind this, waiting in the wings for any suggestion that stagnation must be fought with deflation. This is entirely understandable, as uncontrolled deflation hits the poorest hardest.

The assumption that conjoins these fears into an engine of unbridled economic stagnation is that thereโ€™s a unitary market effectively mediating between the markets in different sectors, be this unity micro-economic or macro-economic in flavour. But this just isnโ€™t how it works.

There is so much more logistic friction in the price system than the popular story of just in time production suggests, not least in the concrete details of differentiated trade between economic actors from local businesses to nation states.

Remembering Colonel Anil Kaul, VrC (Retd) on his 3rd Death Anniversary.

We should stop confusing what someone was doing when we became aware of them with all they are capable of, interested in, or ever hope to be

Let folks have their many talents, interests and gifts. Life is far more fun with variety, loves.

A lot of folks have come to know me as an activist & Iโ€™m grateful that folks care to know me at all.

But I wasnโ€™t born in 2014. I was a whole teacher, executive, policy person, speaker, arts and culture lover, reader, writer, woman of faith, fashion and more before 4 yrs ago ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ

We rightfully complain that marginalized people are not allowed to be fully human.

But we internalize and transfer our oppression daily. Itโ€™s a smog. We all breathe it in & act it out.

And then tell WoC โ€œgirl ainโ€™t you supposed to be a _______? Why you doing ____?โ€

Can I live?

And donโ€™t go reading anything personal into this-this isnโ€™t about me necessarily and itโ€™s no subtweet (I try hard not to do that.)

Iโ€™ve just been observing that behavior more and more lately. Especially when it comes to marginalized folks.

Evolution should be our aspiration.

โ€œCanโ€™t knock the hustleโ€ should be our anthem.

As long as someone isnโ€™t bringing active and continual harm, why canโ€™t they explore their many sides?

Sharing one incident... After Modi's Trichy youth conference, the very next morning when police were clearing up their mini-control room, they found 5 strange boys who were roaming there with bags. When police enquired them "Sir, we are from Subramaniapuram in Trichy.

Whatever political meeting or conference is held in this ground, we come here on the same night or morning hours to collect the Liquor bottles to sell in the scrap shop for 50 paisa to 1 rupee per bottle and we used to earn Rs 200 to Rs 400 on each such event.

Even in the last DMK meeting the very next day we collected around 1500 bottles. But for Modi's BJP meeting, we could not find even a single bottle in the whole ground. We are coming around and around and not a single bottle in any corner of the G Corner ground in Trichy,

we are much disappointed, sir!". Police seem were stunned and pleasantly surprised. This is what Modi magic does in this nation. Modi is the one who can lead our nation and make everyone prosper with hardwork in right direction and proper approach.

This funny but interesting anecdote was published by a statewide local daily Dinamalar. I have just translated and posting it here for rest of the nation;

SRI BANKEY BIHARI JI, VRINDAVAN (UP)

Very famous Krishna Mandir where Bankey Bihari Ji is worshipped and looked after as a child.
Bankey means โ€œBent at three placesโ€.
Thakur Ji was worshipped in Nidhivan till 1863. This mandir was constructed in 1864 by Goswamis.
@LostTemple7


Legend says that Swami Haridas used to worship Krishna in Nidhivan.
Once, his curious disciples entered the forest but they were almost blinded by bright, intense light. Upon knowing this, Swamiji himself went there and after his requests, Krishna appeared with his consort.


Krishna, then, left back this black charming murti,which we see now, before disappearing.
A curtain is drawn before the murti after every 15-30 second. It is said that if one stares long enough into the eyes of Shri Banke Bihari, the person would lose his self consciousness.


Bankey Bihari Ji sports a flute only once a year on the eve of Sharad Purnima.
Darshan of His lotus feet can be done only on Akshay Tritiya every year.
There are no loud bells here and
no early morning Darshan can be done so that child Krishnaโ€™s sleep is not disturbed.
