@elonmusk Elon, I want to tell you something as a Ukrainian.
For years, many people in Ukraine admired and respected you. I was one of them. I personally saw you as a technological genius, a visionary, someone who was building the future while others were still living in the past.
And that is exactly why your growing hostility toward Ukraine is so difficult for me to understand.
Ukraine is not a perfect country. We have corruption, political failures, and many problems. Nobody denies that. But tell me, which country is perfect?
Ukraine is also a country of incredibly talented engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs, developers, artists, and ordinary hardworking people. We build world-class technology, innovate under impossible conditions, value education, and have repeatedly shown the world what courage, resilience, and human dignity look like.
We are a country that voluntarily gave up the world's third-largest nuclear arsenal in exchange for security assurances.
We are a nation that stood up in 2014, during the Revolution of Dignity, because we refused to live under authoritarianism and Russian domination. We wanted freedom, democracy, and the right to choose our own future.
And today, we are fighting for that same freedom.
Every day, Ukrainian civilians are killed by Russian missiles, drones, and bombs. Children lose their parents. Parents bury their children. Entire cities are destroyed. Millions of lives have been shattered.
These people are not dying because of Zelenskyy. They are not dying because of Ukrainian corruption. They are dying because Putin chose to invade another sovereign nation and continues to wage a war against its people, cities, culture, and identity.
Yes, corruption must be fought. Yes, every dollar of international aid must be accounted for. Ukrainians themselves deserve transparency and justice more than anyone.
But corruption does not justify invasion. Political failures do not justify bombing children. And no amount of criticism of Ukraine changes who crossed the border with an invading army.
You seem to believe that giving up Donbas and Luhansk could bring peace. But why should we believe Putin would stop there?
He already violated Ukraine's sovereignty after promising to respect it. He took Crimea in 2014. He fueled war in Donbas. And in 2022, he launched a full-scale invasion.
What makes you think another territorial concession would finally satisfy him?
History has shown us what happens when democracies believe they can secure lasting peace by rewarding an aggressor with someone else's land.
We have seen this before, in Europe, in the years leading up to World War II.
Peace built on surrender to a dictator is not necessarily peace. Sometimes it is simply an invitation to the next war.
Elon, you are a man who talks about the future of humanity, about making civilization better, about taking humanity to Mars.
But what kind of future are we building if we accept that powerful dictators can erase smaller nations simply because they have more weapons?
Ukraine is not asking the world to pretend we are perfect.
We are asking the world to recognize that we have the same right to exist, to be free, and to determine our future as Americans do.
And one more thing: Ukrainians have never been your enemies. Many of us admired you, believed in your vision, and appreciated what Starlink made possible during the darkest days of this war.
That is why your words hurt more than you might realize.
You have enormous influence. Your voice can shape how millions of people understand this war.
I still want to believe that the man who dreams of advancing humanity can recognize the humanity of people fighting simply to survive.
It is not too late to stand on the right side of history.
Not on Zelenskyy's side. Not on any politician's side.
On the side of freedom. On the side of human life. On the side of a nation's right to exist.
That is all we are asking for.

🚨 Zlatan Ibrahimović on Norway’s disallowed goal:
“This? For me, this is a robbery. A big one.
I look at that goal and I ask myself — what exactly is the problem? Football is becoming too soft. Now strikers have to apologize for being strong? This is a joke.
They bring new rules every year, especially around corners, and it’s always the same — it goes against the striker. You fight for position, you use your body, you do what every number 9 has done for decades… and suddenly it’s a foul? No, I don’t accept that.
If this is not a goal, then I don’t understand football anymore.
Strikers now have to blame themselves for being powerful, for winning duels. What do you want us to do — disappear? Stand and watch?
And let’s be honest… it starts to look like they are trying to protect certain teams. Because I don’t see any reason this goal shouldn’t stand.
But you won’t hear the same noise everywhere. If it was another country, maybe the reaction is different. Maybe louder.
For me, football should be simple — if it’s a goal, it’s a goal. Not this overthinking, not this fear of physicality.
This game is losing a part of its soul.”

Hvorfor er varer og tjenester så dyre?
Jo. Det er fordi kunden må betale for:
- tjenesteyterens nettoinntekt
- tjenesteyterens personbeskatning
- arbeidsgiveravgift på nettoinntekt
- arbeidsgiveravgift på personbeskatning
- moms på nettoinntekt
- moms på personbeskatning
- moms på arbeidsgiveravgift på nettoinntekt
- moms på arbeidsgiveravgift på personbeskatning
Skatter og avgifter er hovedårsaken til at en vanlig lønnsmottaker må arbeide 3-4 timer for å ha råd til å leie en elektriker i en time.
Det er avgift på avgift på skatt.
Det har antagelig fått lov å bli slik fordi folk flest, våre folkevalgte inkludert, ikke skjønner det samlede konsekvensene av skatte og avgiftssystemet.
De uvitende blir gjerne forledet av navnet og tror det er arbeidsgiver som betaler for arbeidsgiveravgiften. Det er ikke slik. Kunden må betale for alle utgiftene til arbeidsgiver. Om ikke går arbeidsgiveren konkurs.
Overskuddet til arbeidsgiver begrenses av konkurranse.
I det man skjønner den samlede belastningen av skatte og avgiftssystemet vil man også skjønne at det er grunnleggende usosialt.
Den som har lav nettoinntekt er nemlig avhengig av varer og tjenester fra tjenesteytere med høyere nettoinntekt. Når man skjønner at 50 % av det kunden betaler går til staten, da forstår man også hvorfor de med lav nettoinntekt straffes ubønnhørlig av skatte og avgiftssystemet.
Og det å fremskaffe eller produsere en vare for salg, og selge den, krever arbeidsinnsats fra tjenesteytere.
For ikke å glemme alle lover, regler og EU direktiver som må følges for å produsere en vare for salg. Det kreves selvsagt mange timers arbeid å forholde seg til og følge dette sammensuriet av regler. Timer som kunden må betale de ovenfor nevnte skatter og avgifter for.
Det er mellom annet derfor EU sine direktiver kveler EU.
Man kan ikke hevde at man kjemper for de fattige uten at man kjemper for å redusere skatter og avgifter.
De svakes eneste sanne venner er de som kjemper for å fjerne offentlig sløsing og misbruk av skatteinntekter på formål som ikke er strengt nødvendige for liv, helse, og effektiv tjenesteyting fra det offentlige.
Sosialister er ikke de lavtlønnede sine venner, selv om det er det de gjerne vil at du skal tro. Og selv om de kanskje også tror det selv - fordi de ikke skjønner hvordan dette egentlig fungerer.

Zelensky has thanked Trump, Congress, and the American people many times.
But let's be clear: when Trump and Vance said that THEY are trying to help Ukraine right now, and need to be thanked for the work personally, there are reasons to wonder. 1/ THREAD

Statkrafts groteske bonusordninger er en hån mot norske skattebetalere. Ti ledere får 300 mill. i lønn og bonuser, betalt av felleskassen, mens gründere og verdiskapere jages ut av landet med økte skatter og null støtte. Hvor er venstresiden, de som roper om rettferdighet? Når staten selv suger penger ut av befolkningen, snur de ryggen. Dette er ikke bare ukultur – det er et system som er rigget for statens elite, mens de som faktisk bygger landet flås til det ikke er noe igjen.

Hva skjer med den norske modellen når det ikke er noe igjen å skattelegge?"
Den norske modellen, bygget på oljeinntekter og omfordeling, har gitt oss et solid velferdssamfunn. Men hva skjer når oljen ikke lenger er en inntektskilde? Hva skjer når det ikke er noe igjen å skattelegge? Uten en ny motor for verdiskaping risikerer vi en gradvis kollaps.
Staten kan ikke fordele penger som ikke finnes. Verdier må først skapes før de kan omfordeles. Når skattesystemet straffer risikovillighet og kreativitet, hemmer vi de kreftene som faktisk bygger samfunnet. Verdiskaping skjer ikke i regjeringskontorer, men gjennom enkeltmennesker som tør å satse. Uten entreprenørskap og nyskaping vil vi stå uten fremtidens inntekter. Høyere skattetrykk og økt omfordeling blir bare midlertidige løsninger – uten verdiskaping har vi ingenting å fordele.
Entreprenørskap er nøkkelen. Det handler om å gi friheten til å prøve, feile og lykkes. Dette skaper innovasjon, nye arbeidsplasser og gir grunnlaget for et bærekraftig samfunn. Men når vi overbeskatter kapital, kveler vi den motoren som skal drive økonomien fremover. Insentivene til å bygge nytt forsvinner, og vi ender opp med stagnasjon.
Dette er mer enn en økonomisk krise – det er en sosial utfordring. Uten nye arbeidsplasser mister vi inkluderingen som er selve fundamentet for velferdsstaten. Arbeid gir ikke bare inntekt, men også verdighet og tilhørighet. Uten arbeidsinkludering risikerer vi økende ulikhet og et samfunn som faller fra hverandre.
Den dagen oljen tar slutt, vil det være for sent å snu. Fortsetter vi som i dag, vil vi stå igjen med et system som har kvelt fremtidens verdiskaping. Endringene må skje nå. Vi trenger en økonomi som setter individets skaperevne i sentrum. Valget står mellom stagnasjon og vekst, mellom forvitring og fornyelse.
Løsningen er enkel, men krevende: Gi entreprenører og innovatører rom til å lykkes. Reduser skattetrykket på risikokapital, fjern hindringer for nyskaping, og prioriter arbeidsinkludering som en kjerne i økonomisk politikk. Fremtidens velferdssamfunn kan ikke bygges på drømmen om evig omfordeling – det må bygges på reelle verdier, skapt av mennesker som tør å satse.

«Urettferdig» er bare starten!
Hva skjer når et parti som påstår å være for «rettferdighet» heller velger å ignorere statens massive sløsing?
Blomseth, som jobbet i staten i 9 år, sa det rett ut: med litt effektivisering kunne vi kuttet 200-300 milliarder hvert år. Så hvorfor ønsker SV å øke skattene i stedet for å ta ansvar og redusere sløsing?
Det er på tide å stille spørsmålet:
Er det rettferdig at nordmenn skal betale mer skatt for å dekke statens egen ineffektivitet?

Only kidding. Obviously, the people mentioned in the above tweets aren't women at all, but men, every last one of them.
In passing the Scottish Hate Crime Act, Scottish lawmakers seem to have placed higher value on the feelings of men performing their idea of femaleness, however misogynistically or opportunistically, than on the rights and freedoms of actual women and girls. The new legislation is wide open to abuse by activists who wish to silence those of us speaking out about the dangers of eliminating women's and girls’ single-sex spaces, the nonsense made of crime data if violent and sexual assaults committed by men are recorded as female crimes, the grotesque unfairness of allowing males to compete in female sports, the injustice of women’s jobs, honours and opportunities being taken by trans-identified men, and the reality and immutability of biological sex.
For several years now, Scottish women have been pressured by their government and members of the police force to deny the evidence of their eyes and ears, repudiate biological facts and embrace a neo-religious concept of gender that is unprovable and untestable. The re-definition of 'woman' to include every man who declares himself one has already had serious consequences for women's and girls’ rights and safety in Scotland, with the strongest impact felt, as ever, by the most vulnerable, including female prisoners and rape survivors.
It is impossible to accurately describe or tackle the reality of violence and sexual violence committed against women and girls, or address the current assault on women’s and girls’ rights, unless we are allowed to call a man a man. Freedom of speech and belief are at an end in Scotland if the accurate description of biological sex is deemed criminal.
I'm currently out of the country, but if what I've written here qualifies as an offence under the terms of the new act, I look forward to being arrested when I return to the birthplace of the Scottish Enlightenment.

If the virus was deadlier, and the vaccine was obviously very effective (sterilizing) with no side effects, then vax deniers would obviously be wackos.
What he’s missing is that doubts about the vaccine that turned out to be true were suppressed by the ppl whose job it was to be honest.
That censorship and lies delivered a lasting blow to public health’s credibility, which blew open the door to RFK Jr.’s craziness.
Rogan and RFK Jr are not the problem - skeptics and wackos will always exist.
The CDC, Fauci, the White House, the Surgeon General did far more damage, systematically, nation wide.
They forced toddlers to wear cloth masks and closed schools for over a year, denied natural immunity mattered, stripped people of their jobs and made them outcasts in their families and communities, denied people the ability to visit loved ones dying in the hospital, and mandated healthy kids to get vaccines that they didn’t need.
It’s not the Rogans and JFK Jr’s that are the big problem, it’s the systemic institutional failure.
If Sam wants to gripe about something, it should be that people whose job it was to know better got it incredibly wrong, ruined lives and livelihoods, and paid zero price for it.
