There is literally too much to unpack here.

Seems like the AGs job is to constantly make recommendations that are ignored. How ironic is it that the Ministry that is responsible for distributions to the poor is also the one that has some of the glaring 'irregularities'.

 "Nowhere was the picture more stark than in Karl Samuda’s MLSS, which the auditor general argued has been persistent in ignoring recommendations over the years to improve its stewardship of public funds."

That ministry alone accounted for unresolved monetary risks of 3.3 billion
173 million in transactions could not be verified because of inadequate supporting documents.

173 million..

Tardiness...

Disregard for it's own internal audit..

Significant internal control deficiences....

Lack of appetite to fix the problems flagged as far back as 2011!!!
This was already known but

"In a damning 2018 audit, Monroe Ellis found that in 2017, without permission, the NIF spent 27 million to purchase shares owned by the spouse of a senior executive."
Uncovered alleged 600 million fraud in 2018...

50 million in payments made to companies without valid contracts....

That brings total taxpayer exposure to 35 billion...
Apparently a senior official in the government said "I agree that there is a problem with that".

But get this. IN THE LAST 15 YEARS NONE OF THE PAC ANNUAL REPORTS HAVE BEEN DEBATED IN PARLIAMNET.
If this is not deeply troubling to you as a Jamaican, then you do not have your country's best interests at heart.

Billions of dollars of our taxpayer dollars keep on being burnt in the dark over decades and we just, keep operating so???

Our standards are low.
Why is it that people are not being fired and charged each time the clearly hard working AG "uncovers" these irregularities?

Successive governments have spoken about accountability and corruption but I mean, it's either you can't fix it or you don't want to fix it!
Feel a way still. Because the most powerful people (us the citizens) allow these releases to be managed and forgotten constantly and noone is held accountable, hardly.

How the Ministry responsible for the poor fi a "lose" "miss" so much money bredda? And thousands...
....of people from children to great grands live on our streets?

How this ministry fi have such issues wid money just so (BILLIONS) when poor people out deh affi a starve beg and steal fi survive daily.

Yah tell mi seh nobody wide actual power to stimulate change cah empathize.
Kingston, the glorious capital city is riddled with poor people literally living on the streets. Bellevue can't even managed the amount of people that need the help, nurses and doctors did a worry about jobs in a pandemic recently, and yah tell mi seh people with power...
....know seh billions of dollars a go missing and a just business as usual?

Unnu think a Ms Ivelyn inna d ghetto a rob dem BILLIONS a dollar yah?

Accountability

As a youth weh know seh WHOLE HEAP a families a live offa 1 stall, couple hundred dollar a day. This hurt mi.
Every report the AG publish a billions gone. Billions in gas evaporate, man a run the largest bus company in Jamaica inna book and pages a disappear, man a rob from University.

Den unnu come smile up inna man face a trick d hungry fi votes and start the cycle over again.
Tek a 3 picture a hand out 10k worth a food but a cut wid billions. Den look pan d same ghetto youth weh get ketch a sell weed fi live and call him 'criminal'.

If u can't afford certain security and Jamaica a man goodly come eat u (not literally). But d man weh can change....
...things govern enuh.

Them have the full security system package. The finest German suspension so the road dem feel nice, the best food so nobody nah starve, 4 man strap a secure him inna a unmarked vehicle so nobody cah rush.

No incentive.
Some of unnu need to c d f***ry and call it out and not turn a blind eye. But then again, why fight a system that benefits u.

Wi will gwaan lose people daily to the violence unnu help create.

Peace. Work time.

Get a cup of coffee.

In this thread, I'll help you work out how much money you need to retire.

2/

The goal is simple.

You want to accumulate a *large* portfolio of assets.

How large?

Well, you should be able to quit your job. And you and your family should be able to live comfortably for decades -- just off of the income generated by this portfolio.

3/

This is the crux of the "FIRE" movement.

FIRE stands for "Financially Independent, Retired Early".

The basic philosophy is: keep your spending needs low. Save a large portion of your income. Invest these savings. With luck, you'll be able to retire early.

4/

FIRE advocates have a rule they love to cite: the 4% rule.

The 4% rule says: your annual expenses in retirement should not exceed 4% of your portfolio.

You can use this rule to calculate how large a portfolio you need to accumulate before you can quit your job and retire.


5/

For example, suppose you and your family need $40K/year to live comfortably in retirement.

Then you need to accumulate a portfolio that's at least $1M.

Another way to say this is: your portfolio should be at least 25 times your annual expenses in retirement.

1/ My Mission: To Spread Financial Wellness (thread)

Here’s what "financial wellness" means to me

⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

2/ Mindset

Humans are programmed to think short-term

Evolutionary, thinking short-term makes sense. It helps with survival.

Financial wellness is all about training yourself to develop a long-term mindset

Not easy -- it takes practice


3/ Mindset

If you join the right tribes, you can’t help but improve

My favs:
@AffordAnything
@ChooseFiFI
FinTwit
@MicroCapClub
@themotleyfoolFool
@visualizevalue

Twitter / Podcasts / Blogs / YouTube -- when used correctly -- are amazing


4/ Mindset

Educate yourself - constantly!

Especially about:

1⃣Money
2⃣Relationships
3⃣Health

These 3 categories have an outsized influence on all areas of your life

Books


5/ Career

In the beginning, focus on growing your income

Do more than what is expected

Become a lynchpin

Find a career that you ENJOY (<- important!) that also has high-income potential

Start a side hustle (<- important!)

Build your talent

We all know no-one should profit from antisemitic hate speech right? Well, tell that to the @JewishChron.

In their media pack they advertise that they've run (at least) one event with Nigel Farage as a speaker. The JC is using their connection with an antisemite to make money.


Important bits first. The media pack has a 2020 calendar so it is probably just over a year old. Which means, all of our examples below bar one had been published when they tried to make money from an event with Nigel Farage. They knew what he had said and didn’t care.

You want one example? Here you go. The JC knew and even called him out on it. So why does their press pack, probably made just months after this and made to get people to advertise with them, show off their link to him?

What kind of advertisers do they want??


For anyone skim reading, let us make this very clear, using words from the Campaign Against Antisemitism. @antisemitism.


Ok, so now the attention-grabbing bits are done, lets dig deeper.

Is Nigel actually an antisemite, Geoffrey hears someone ask in terribly bad faith. Well, lets explore his history of antisemitism through the JC’s own articles!

I have to make a note before writing about this episode. I was the person (still am) who thinks that bringing back D. was a bad idea. I repeat it that for me the writing of S1 and S2 is like tossed into the bin with that plot evolution, but they had to invent something+
#Hercai

+ to be able to continue to prolong the general story after Aslan’s story did not work out. All the suffering of M., all the crying seems for “nothing” for two seasons and we viewers are also kind of fed up in seeing him cry all the time when with the upcoming episodes+

+he is justified the most to cry. With her resurrection now the attention shifts back to Miran’s storyline and I don’t know if I like this to be honest. This said, Dilsha is here and we have to deal with her.

So, my comments are going to be how I find they wrote her into the story, the details we get to know, the flashbacks we get to see, the way it was filmed and directed, with leaving out if I agree on it or not but describing along the way what I saw.

A simple #swingtrading strategy
1. Whenever you see a stock in strong uptrend it will tend to take support on its 21 ema.
2. Always look whether the stock has taken support previously.
@kuttrapali @rohanshah619 @chartmojo @chartworldat
#adaniports #balajiamine #jswsteel


3. 21 ema will act as dynamic support in a trending market
4. Risk: Reward is favourable in such setups
5. 50 ema can also act as support which can be kept as stoploss for swing trading
6. Volume should be less during pullbacks .

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'

One fascist to watch in 2021 is Joseph Charles "Oakman" Golinske of SE MI. He's been a Proud Boy for a couple years, but took a break recently from the group and promotes himself through the "Oak Nation" channel on Telegram.


Most people may be familiar with him as the tall guy in the Proud Boys bridge shot, from their August 17, 2019 attack on Portland, which featured an American Guard bus trying (and failing) to bludgeon antifascists with hammers.


He was also with his g/f at the time (Dominique Tota, left of Tarrio), and that's definitely a twitter account folks will want to block/report because he posts on it.


He's been plenty active at the pro-Covid/anti-mask/ReOpen protests in Lansing MI, seen here with Jerry Wayne and an effigy of Gretchen Whitmer, who his militia friends tried to kidnap and publicly execute.


Outside of the Proud Boys, his solo "career" with Oak Nation features the same misogyny, classism and gateway to far-right domestic terrorism the Proud Boys themselves feature. Here's him peddling oxychlorinque and bragging about harassing service workers.
