🌲 A remote cabin. 💸 A struggling couple. 😏 An offer that changes everything. What starts as a chance meeting in the middle of nowhere quickly becomes a game of temptation, loyalty, and impossible choices. When money talks and emotions get involved, doing the right thing suddenly isn't so...

Zack Polanski, "It's a tax on assets of 1% on £10m+ or 2% on £1 billion+" "The most obvious win here is to bring Capital Gains Tax in line with Income Tax" "The reason why that's important is right now we tax earned income more than we tax unearned wealth" "If you're a cleaner, you could be paying more tax than the person who owns the building that you're cleaning" "It's completely absurd. It's a political choice. We can make different political choices" "When Ruth said it's difficult to find wealth, that there are practical challenges, so let's spend more money on HMRC" "We keep underspending on the NHS, it shouldn't be a surprise we have a sick population" "So yes, spend money up front on public infrastructure, on our services, but we're getting that money back, in terms of a much better economy and a healthier population" "It's outrageous that we would have any more spending cuts" "People in this country are tired and exhausted" "They see the cost of living raised and they're not seeing their wages go with it" "We have wealth in this country that we can redistribute" "So the idea that people who are already struggling, as a result of political decisions and consequences of the past decade, are going to have to suffer another round of cuts" "It's not a surprise to me when Nigel Farage talks about connecting with people's fear and anger, that's he doing so well" "Of course I say this because Reform UK's solutions will make things even worse" "That's why the Greens are doing so well right now, we're offering hope and some practical solutions" "To say we don't need to cut spending and actually we need to tax the wealthier in our country more and invest in public services"

Some millennials have been working for 20 years and are still confused by corporate 😂 For those who are still in the dark let me fill you in. Your performance doesn't matter. Your performance review doesn't matter. Your compensation has been set by a budget committee a year ago. You are not "overachieving" anything. Management has a fixed pool of money to pay the people they manage so they can give them raises less than inflation. If they give you more money, they have to give someone else less money. It's a zero-sum game. Managers actually have a larger pool of money to hire new employees because corporations recognize that new hires need to be incentivized to come over. They won't just leave their company for the same money. If you've been at the same company for 5 years you are underpaid. If you've been at the same company for 10 years you are paid less than a new hire at a competitor. Loyalty doesn't matter because there is no reason for a company to voluntarily pay you more money. Corporations already know that over 95% of employees will not go anywhere and will take whatever they get. Even if that's nothing. There's no reason to pay everybody more money when only a tiny percentage of workers will leave. Even if you leave... (remember over 95% of employees will not) ... the corporation will distribute the work you were doing among all your coworkers. And they will take on the extra work. And they will stay. For nothing. Because in addition to a salary, what an employee wants is to not have to look for a new job. That's all the want. They don't want to move anywhere. And companies know it, and they will take advantage of that. Now you know! You're welcome.

Is easy to get discouraged after defi exploits HOWEVER its worth noting that they pale in comparison to the private credit crisis in tradfi-land... I've been wanting to highlight my good bro Martin de Rijke's recent appearance on The Rollup and he actually touched on this exact topic in it... Martin is Head Of Growth at Maple, and he spoke with Andy and Robbie Klages all about everything Maple is doing 💪 As he explains in the interview, Martin's been involved with crypto since 2015 and has been a part of the Maple team since 2022, so he has been instrumental in the project's massive success, and had a ton of interesting stuff to say regarding both Maple and defi as a whole... Below clip is- again- on the private credit crisis in macro and whether it can be an opportunity for defi and for Maple, and then it also touches on Maple's overall business model and some other interesting stuff toward the end. As noted above, the private credit crisis is far larger in scope than these defi exploits, and it is also quite representative of the problems in tradfi that defi solves - the fact that it is opaque and corrupt and is based on giant webs of counterparties where there is no way to confirm where your money is and no blockchain to check... In this regard it is an apt reminder of the inherent superiority of blockchain-based financial rails, and the value in what we are all doing here... But yeah, as always, I own a ton of $SYRUP and work with the Maple team, so will flip the 'partner' tag on this 💪 And then will also include a couple more interesting clips from the interview below, and link to the full discussion :) Massive respect to Martin for the great interview!!! 💪🥞 He's been a wonderful friend of mine for as long as I've known him and I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend giving him a follow on here if you aren't already doing so! :)

Warren Buffett on why chasing yield on cash is a mistake: A Berkshire shareholder, Ed Schmidt, asks where all the sidelined money is being held, pointing out that every option looks bad: Banks paying nothing, risky corporate bonds, and government bonds that "seem less and less sound as each day passes." Buffett agrees the choices are poor, but says it doesn't matter, because Berkshire treats short-term money completely differently from most investors. "He's certainly right that all the choices are lousy for short-term money now, but we don't play around with short-term money." He explains that in 2008, before the crisis hit, Berkshire owned no commercial paper and no money market funds. The big money stayed in treasuries, earning almost nothing, and Buffett is blunt that the temptation to reach for a little more is exactly the trap to avoid: "The last thing in the world we would do at Berkshire is to try and get five or 10 or 20 or 30 basis points more by going into some other things with our short-term money." His framing for why is simple: "It is a parking place. It's an unattractive parking place, but it's a parking place where we know we'll get our car back when we want it." The reason that matters became clear in September 2008. Berkshire had committed $6.5 billion to the Mars-Wrigley deal months earlier, long before anyone knew what that autumn would bring. When the date arrived, the form of the money was everything: "I had to show up with $6.5 billion. I couldn't show up with a money market fund or some commercial paper or anything of the sort. I had to show up with cash." That's why his conviction lands where it does: "Virtually the only thing I feel good about in terms of having large amounts of ready cash is treasury bills." Charlie Munger puts it more sharply, reframing the whole question as a discipline issue rather than a yield issue: "I think it's really stupid to try and maximize returns on short-term money if you're an opportunistic game the way we are, where we want to suddenly deploy money." He points to pipelines that came up for sale on a Saturday and had to close by Monday. There was no room to be stuck in "some dubious instrument" when the cash was suddenly needed. Buffett adds his own version of the same story, a pipeline whose seller feared bankruptcy the following week and needed the money immediately, with regulatory clearance still pending. Berkshire offered to close early and let the regulators review everything afterward, even unwind the deal if required. The point being that readiness, not return, is what closes deals: "Our ability to come up with cash when people need it, and when the rest of the world is petrified for some reason, has enabled several deals to get done." And that is the entire logic behind holding tens of billions in treasuries earning almost nothing: "When somebody comes to us and they say we need a deal right now, we can do it, and they know we can do it, and it can be big. It just has to be attractive."
