Santa Catarina, Curitiba e São Paulo, tá na hora de sentar e conversar sobre Independência.

Don't worry about Brazil, Lula will win again Taxes will rise, the currency will be devalued and everyone will talk about how great this place could be in 20 years if they just did a few things differently

Brazil is a tragic case study. Once you let communism in, it’s tough to vote it out. They sink their claws into the Supreme Court and do everything possible legal or illegal to stay in power, even after Flávio destroyed Lula (a criminal) in the debate. Stay alert 🇺🇸!

I just invested $400,000 into a residential security door and door frame company. Imagine doors and windows that take 2 hours to knock down with a sledgehammer. Every Canadian is going to need it

I will go one step further… DON’T move to LatAm unless you are making $5k a month. Living like a local is not a life hack. You can’t optimize for tax when you are making $2K per month.

120,640 people left Canada last year, the highest number since records began in 1952 We are in a generational brain drain crisis. The math doesn’t math for a lot of our top talent to stay here and we need to change that. Fast.

🧵 Before you think about moving abroad, read this article... Living on $1,500/month in paradise isn't the life hack you think it is. You may be wasting your prime earning years chasing a cheap lifestyle, letting your work ethic atrophy, and setting yourself up to be broke at 40.

I'm noticing the growing possibility that Europe becomes very poor in the course of the next 10-20 years. You have the following factors: - Heavy industry totally uncompetitive against China, automakers etc. rapidly losing ground - Services industry totally uncompetitive against AI - No natural resources, or regulatory hurdles making their extraction impossible - No access to the new economy (no AI, no data centers, uncompetitive energy sector) - Client states caught in one-way welfare ratchets, spend reallocation + investment well-nigh impossible This seems under-contemplated. And we're talking really, seriously dirt poor: taken to its logical conclusion, many countries will have much, much smaller services and manufacturing industries -- economies may become much more heavily skewed toward natural resources and energy markets, where Europe has made it impossible for itself to compete. And I'm not saying that this is likely to happen, it's an extreme case. But the probability is greater than zero and appears to be growing. The EV of that is so negative that it's surprising to me that it's not coming up more.
