If you're an Amazon India customer, take 2 mins to read this if your money is dear to you. TLDR version, Amazon delivery partners are literally scamming customers. And Amazon India will do nothing to help you in this situation. Kiss your money goodbye! I raised this concern on social media a few days back, for a product (Levi's jeans) which was marked as delivered but I never received it. Their customer support team, did some investigation and came to the conclusion that the product was indeed delivered. Hence, they cannot do anything more to assist me in this situation (refer image) This was not a OTP based delivery, and neither does Amazon mention the name of the person who received the product on their app/website. If it was OTP based delivery, I would know someone has given the OTP so delivery has happened. With a name, at least I would know if there's any person with that name in the house. Now, I have absolutely no way to confirm if Amazon genuinely delivered the product. Except video camera evidence. So I went to see the CCTV footage of the day and time the product was marked as delivered. In the CCTV footage, I see something very strange. The Amazon delivery partner arrives at my place, gets off the bike, takes out the product and for the next couple of mins just keeps doing something on his phone. He doesn't call me, or at least I don't have any call record of calls at that time. In the meanwhile, another person walking out closes the door. That person is not me, neither works for me and neither known to me. Likely associated with a neighbour/tenant and I have no such instructions for my Amazon account for deliveries to be left with anyone else. One minute later the Amazon delivery partner decides to leave (see screenshot). The delivery partner doesn't even enter the house and just leaves after a couple of mins. Without even entering the house, Amazon successfully delivered the product! Wow! And if the delivery partner handed the product to any random person walking out of the house, is that the customer's problem? Was this a very expensive product? No, not at all. So why am I spending all this time to write this? 1. I just want to spread awareness to everyone out there who might be getting scammed by such malpractices from Amazon / delivery partners. 2. If Amazon claims a product is delivered, you can't do nothing about it. Irrespective of whether the product was actually delivered or not. Your money is gone, poof! 3. It should be the company's responsibility to prove that a product was successfully delivered but in India it seems anyone can walk over their customers. 4. I'm shocked that a customer has to go to these lengths to uncover such scams in India 5. If ordering on Amazon, I will always select cash on delivery as the default going forward Amazon India - Do not contact me in hope that I will delete this tweet or evidence now! PS: Video doesn't have the date/time stamp as aspect ratio has been cropped. Will only share that with company officials if someone from Amazon wants to see it. Or with consumer courts if I decide to pursue this further, definitely not worth my time for now. But in the US, I would have definitely filed a lawsuit for millions.

EXCLUSIVE: Illegal Immigrant Hauling Amazon Trailer Causes Crash In Georgia Two years ago, a 20-year-old woman was hit by a massive truck hauling an Amazon trailer while driving down an interstate in Jefferson, Georgia. She recently contacted the Daily Wire after learning that illegal immigrant truckers were causing major crashes across the country. She believed she may have been hit by one. The man who hit her spoke some broken English, but kept making phone calls in a foreign language while local police asked him for info, according to police body camera footage we obtained. Turns out, she was right. The truck driver, Uzbek national Jakhongir Yuldashev, crossed the border illegally into Yuma, Arizona, just two years before the crash, according to immigration records we obtained. He was later released from federal custody after posting his immigration bond, a federal law enforcement source said. Yuldashev received a trucking license in Pennsylvania, allowing him to move Amazon packages and freight across the country, according to police records. Trucking experts say it shows just how “widespread” the issue of illegal immigrants driving trucks is in the labor market. It's also not the first time an illegal has been caught up in a crash while hauling for Amazon. In fact, in March an illegal immigrant from Eritrea, allegedly killed five people, including a child and an infant, while hauling an Amazon load through Austin, Texas.

Washington D.C. Is No Longer a “Sanctuary City,” but Only for 30 Days | Tim Kennedy The Trump administration has been in an off-again, on-again legal battle with local officials over whether the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) can assist federal immigration authorities, like ICE, with arresting illegal aliens. In 2020, the D.C. Council passed the Sanctuary Values Amendment Act of 2020, which strictly prohibited local law enforcement from cooperating with federal immigration officials, effectively turning the District of Columbia into a “Sanctuary City.” Until recently, D.C. police were barred from: Asking individuals in their custody about their immigration status, allowing ICE to integrate people in their custody and carrying out federal immigration arrest warrants. However, after striking a deal with city officials, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi issued an order saying that MPD must fully cooperate with federal immigration officials and assist agents with “locating, apprehending and detaining aliens unlawfully present in the U.S.” This cooperation will only last if President Donald Trump retains control over MPD after the 30 day period, which is set to end on Sept. 11. Unless something changes, D.C. will revert to being a full-fledged “Sanctuary City.”

Exposed: Toronto police parking officers costing taxpayers millions by clocking out early Do you remember the 1981 movie, Time Bandits? This Terry Gilliam-directed flick was a time travel fantasy. But in the here and now, there are real-life time bandits amongst us. And get this: these time bandits happen to be members of law enforcement! That’s what we observed (and video recorded) when we paid a visit to the Toronto Police Service Central Parking Enforcement Unit headquarters in north Toronto. By way of background, parking enforcement is quite the revenue generator for the city. Almost 400 parking enforcement officers (a.k.a., “meter maids”) write some 2.8 million tickets per year. That works out to more than $80 million per year going into the city’s coffers. Each officer is mandated to work a 10-hour shift. They get paid about $40 per hour. Or at least they are supposed to work 10 hours. But we discovered that such is not the case. Jay Bannister, a former Toronto cop who now runs Mad Lab Press, was tipped off by an insider that for several years now, parking enforcement officers are routinely NOT putting in a full shift’s work. And yes, we have evidence. Bannister went to the Central Parking Enforcement Unit just after 5 a.m. to observe officers arriving for duty in their civilian cars for the morning shift. At 6 a.m., the officers, now in their uniforms, left HQ in their marked cars. They are meant to be writing parking tickets until 4 p.m. Of note: each officer has a quota of 60 tickets per day, which is a goal that can easily be achieved in about two hours. In any event, these officers should be back at headquarters no sooner than 3:45. That way they can change out of their uniforms and leave at 4 p.m. But this is NOT the case. Instead, they routinely return to HQ by around 2 p.m. Indeed, the day we observed their comings and goings, some “early birds” had returned by 1:30 p.m. – yet keep in mind they are being paid until 4 p.m.! Translation: every officer is paid for a 10-hour shift even though they are barely working an eight-hour shift. This is called time theft. And it is costing the taxpayer almost $6 million per year thanks to all these officers going home hours early as opposed to working a full shift. It should be noted that the head honcho at parking enforcement, Michael Harrison, makes almost $187,000 per year plus benefits. And get this: last year, Harrison received a whopping 41% raise! But why? For turning a blind eye to time theft? Surely he knows what is going on. Last Monday afternoon, we paid a visit to the Central Parking Enforcement Unit. Sure enough, beginning as early as 1:30 p.m., officers began returning to headquarters. We scrummed the returnees. Our questions included: - Why are you off-shift – you’re supposed to be working until 4 p.m.? - We calculate that this time theft is costing the taxpayer almost $6 million per year. What do you have to say to the taxpayer about this? - As a member of law enforcement, shouldn’t you be setting a good example as opposed to defrauding the taxpayer? Those who did offer an answer said either “no comment” or “reach out to TPS Corporate Communications.” Alas, just one hitch: the policy of TPS Corporate Communications is to NOT communicate with Rebel News. So much for transparency… But now that the cat is out of the bag, the question arises: will the Chief of Police lay down the gauntlet and demand that parking enforcement officers put in a full shift? Or will time banditry simply be tolerated for whatever reason? Stay tuned. In the days ahead we shall bring you an update to see if these time bandits have modified their behaviour. REPORT by David Menzies:

🚨This video is terrifying, and it’s exactly why “just comply” does not protect you from ICE/Border Patrol agents, even as U.S. citizens, and why you always film them. In North Carolina, ICE/Border Patrol agents illegally stopped two U.S. citizens. They questioned them without legal cause, took their licenses, and admitted on camera that the men were allowed to record. And they were still attacked. In the video, one man asks if he can film for his safety. The agent says yes, saying that he’ll “have to put his mask on.” The agents take their licenses, ask where they’re from, where they live, what they’re doing in the area, all without legal authority. The men cooperate anyway. Then the situation turns dangerous. Another agent suddenly tells the driver, “Turn off your video. You are being detained, so you are not free to record.” That is false. Recording law enforcement in public is legal, including during detention. The driver calmly refuses, keeps one hand on the steering wheel as instructed, and holds his phone in the other. That’s when the agent lunges for the phone. The agent throws himself into the car, trying to grab the device. When the driver moves it away, the agent assaults him. The agent then illegally opens the car door, something the driver correctly points out they are not allowed to do. The agents keep demanding the filming stop, as multiple agents keep reaching for the phone. Then they escalate again. They threaten arrest, grab the driver, and start hitting him and trying to drag him out of the car, even though he keeps saying, “We haven’t done anything wrong.” When they fail to pull him out, they back away, visibly angry. They turn on the passenger next. An agent grabs him, threatens handcuffs, and assaults him trying to force him out of the vehicle. When that doesn’t work, they start yelling conflicting commands, claiming the men are “interfering with an investigation.” An investigation into what? Their own illegal stop. At one point, an agent shouts that the men can’t interfere, while another tries… again… to grab the phone, almost certainly to stop or erase the recording. Only after all of this do the agents finally release them. Because they are U.S. citizens. Because the stop was illegal. And because the camera was still rolling. This is why you film ICE. This is why compliance doesn’t save you. This is why they hate cameras. If this hadn’t been recorded, this would be another lie in a report, another “resisting” accusation, another abuse buried and denied. Film them. Always.

Tyrant border patrol agent pulls over driver to harass him because he filed a complaint on the agent. ​A driver named Terry was pulled into an interior Border Patrol checkpoint in southern Arizona. Exercising his constitutional rights, Terry calmly declined to answer immigration questions and refused consent for a vehicle search.Agent G. Hoyt was one of the officers on scene during that encounter. Terry filed a formal misconduct complaint against him. ​Fast forward over a year later to this stop. Agent Hoyt spots Terry on the road in southern Arizona, pulls him over, refusing to tell Terry why he was being stopped, only demanding his ID. Upon recognizing the agent, Terry immediately tells him he’s "digging a deeper hole." ​During the stop the agent never cited a single traffic violation or valid legal reason for initiating the stop. Instead, he immediately demanded Terry's identification as well as asking for him to shut off the vehicle and give him thy keys. ​Knowing his rights, Terry remained in his vehicle and repeatedly asked a simple question: Why was I pulled over? When Agent Hoyt refused to give a lawful reason and insisted on seeing ID, the standoff ensured. ​Rather than de-escalating or explaining the basis for the stop, the encounter escalated into a full multi-officer response: ​Multiple agents responded to the scene, turning a simple stop into a heavy law enforcement presence. ​Agents set up stop sticks around Terry’s tires to prevent him from leaving. ​A narcotics/contraband K-9 was brought out to conduct an exterior air sniff around the vehicle. ​Despite the pressure, the K-9 failed to alert, and agents were unable to establish any probable cause or evidence of wrongdoing. After roughly 35 minutes of wasted time on the side of the road, Terry was told he was free to go—without a single ticket, citation, or charge. This is yet another complaint that Terry files on the BP agents.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are instigating confrontations with U.S. citizens to manufacture an excuse to use force and make arrests, in Albert Lea, Minnesota. In the video, U.S. citizens are standing in a parking lot. They are minding their own business when ICE agents approach them. The agents start taking pictures of them, their license plate, and asking questions they don’t have to answer. That alone is intimidation. Then a citizen criticizes an agent saying, “Especially with all your gang tattoos showing. You take off your badge and then fight? Is that what you do?” Not a threat. Not a challenge. Speech. And immediately an agent tries to reframe it: “Is that a threat?” That’s the setup. When that doesn’t work, an ICE agent takes off his duty belt… gun, ammo, restraints… and says: “Hey, you want to fight?” This is the tell. They’re not trying to de-escalate. They’re trying to provoke a reaction. Because if a civilian swings back, pushes, or defends themselves, ICE suddenly gets to say: “assault on an officer” “resisting” “threatening behavior” Even though ICE initiated it. When other agents restrain him, the same agent suddenly claims: “I wasn’t serious, I was just proving a point.” No. You don’t remove your weapon to “prove a point.” You do it because you’re trying to start a fight. Then he admits why they came over in the first place: “I want to see what was going on with you guys.” That’s not reasonable suspicion. That’s fishing. Then he flat-out says: “I fuck with anybody and everybody.” That’s the tactic. Harass. Escalate. Provoke. Then arrest whoever reacts. And when civilians call it out, the excuse becomes: “At the end of the day, it’s a job.” No. Your job is not baiting U.S. citizens into confrontations so you can put hands on them. The man filming sums it up: “You have the protection of all of this shit knowing if we fuck you up they gotchu.” Exactly. ICE agents know civilians can’t defend themselves and any reaction gets criminalized. So they push. They poke. They try to start fights so they can arrest U.S. citizens. This isn’t immigration enforcement. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s manufactured justification for violence against U.S. citizens. And it’s happening on camera.

When other agents restrain him, the same agent suddenly claims: “I wasn’t serious, I was just proving a point.” No. You don’t remove your weapon to “prove a point.” You do it because you’re trying to start a fight. Then he admits why they came over in the first place: “I want to see what was going on with you guys.” That’s not reasonable suspicion. That’s fishing. Then he flat-out says: “I fuck with anybody and everybody.” That’s the tactic. Harass. Escalate. Provoke. Then arrest whoever reacts. And when civilians call it out, the excuse becomes: “At the end of the day, it’s a job.” No. Your job is not baiting U.S. citizens into confrontations so you can put hands on them. The man filming sums it up: “You have the protection of all of this shit knowing if we fuck you up they gotchu.” Exactly. ICE agents know civilians can’t defend themselves and any reaction gets criminalized. So they push. They poke. They try to start fights so they can arrest U.S. citizens. This isn’t immigration enforcement. This isn’t law enforcement. It’s manufactured justification for violence against U.S. citizens. And it’s happening on camera.

Cops try to harass some Good Ol' Boys and it does not go well for those officers. Deputies from the Pender County Sheriff’s Office pulled over a driver for operating a "suspicious vehicle." What was the driver's actual offense? Turning their car around after getting lost. What they found instead was some guys that knew the law and their rights. When pressed on why the stop was initiated, the deputy claimed the vehicle was traveling 31 mph in a 45 mph zone. The occupants immediately called out the obvious: driving below the speed limit isn't illegal, nor does it provide probable cause under the Fourth Amendment. When the deputy stumbled through his justification the driver quickly slammed him with the question asking if the deputy has been drinking. Left with nothing to counter that remark the deputy then asked the driver the same question and it was met with laughter. Instead of backing down, the officers continued shining high-powered tactical lights directly into the car. The passenger wasn't having it—pulling out an even brighter flashlight and shining it right back at Deputy Simmi to highlight the absurdity of the intrusion. "I got one. Mine's brighter than yours." ​ When the occupants repeatedly requested the officers' badge and ID numbers, Deputy Simmi claimed they "don't have badge numbers" and only provided his last name, further raising questions about accountability and identification protocols during traffic stops. Recognizing they had no legal basis to hold the vehicle, no traffic violation, and zero evidence of criminal activity, the deputies ran the driver's info and were forced to let them go without a single ticket or citation. These deputies were out of their league as these boys knew their rights and were not going to let these deputies trample all over them.

Boy driving truck crashes into group of Thai monks, killing 8 and injuring 14 An 11-year-old boy crashed a pickup truck into a group of monks on a pilgrimage walk in northeastern Thailand on Thursday, killing eight, officials said. A total of 35 monks from Mukdahan province, about 600 kilometers northeast of the capital Bangkok, were on the pilgrimage. Five monks were killed at the site, while three others died at a hospital, according to Mukdahan Governor Worrayan Boonnarat. Fourteen others were hospitalized, with four in critical condition. The group started the 260-kilometer walk to Ubon Ratchathani province about 30 minutes before the crash. Security camera footage shared by a local rescue group, Ruam Jai Mukdahan Rescue Association, shows the monks walking in a single line on the side of a road before the truck crashes into them. Local police said the boy is now in custody and will be questioned when state child protection officers arrive. The police said the cause of the accident is still under investigation, but said they were told by the monks that they saw the vehicle swerving before it slid off the road and crashed into the group. "I saw a boy driving a pickup truck, approaching. At that moment I was chanting 'Buddho, Buddho' (a meditation mantra)," one monk, identified as Phra Sompong, said in a video posted online by local rescue workers. "Then suddenly the truck hit at full speed and crashed us like this," he said, gesticulating. "Luckily another monk and I managed to jump out of the way in time," he added. "The first nine monks in line survived. But others who were hit were thrown into the air." Video shows monks walking before crash CCTV footage from a nearby property shows the monks walking along the road, multiple vehicles driving past and then the sound of a loud crash before the procession stops. Police said the boy had taken his parents' pickup truck without permission before losing control of the vehicle and crashing into the monks. "The suspect is a child. The vehicle has been taken for forensic examination to determine the cause," Police Major General Pairoj Thaiphutsa, commander of the Mukdahan Provincial Police, told reporters. "We've asked the child's parents to come in so we can determine who is responsible for the child's care, so we can go on with legal process," he added. Prayut Ruanthongkam, chief of Mukdahan City Police, told AFP by telephone that the child was a boy aged 11. Buddhist monks are highly venerated in Thailand, entrusted with preserving and passing on the Buddha's teachings. They often hold public processions and are widely seen receiving alms of goodwill from ordinary Thais. Mukdahan provincial governor Worayan Bunnarat said the case should serve as a wider warning on road safety. Deadly transport accidents are common in Thailand, which has one of the worst road safety records in the world, with speeding, drunk driving and weak law enforcement all contributing factors. "We've been very strict on road safety in recent years. This case should be a lesson not just for our province, but for the public in general when it comes to preventing road accidents," he said. "I think everyone involved, especially parents, needs to help, because no one wants something like this to happen." CBS, Agence France-Presse contributed to this report.

🚨 #BREAKING - New Mexico lawmakers launch Investigation into Epstein’s 7,600-Acre Zorro Ranch after Epstein Files revealed there were “Foreign Girls” possibly buried in the hills But What’s most interesting is who owns it now: Texas Republican Don Huffines owns it… who was endorsed by Thomas Massie for governor in 2022. Recently, there was a major falling out on social media with Massie supporters after someone who was investigating these claims asked Massie about it, and Massie responded — “You’re barking up the wrong tree. I’m not touching that.” In the 2022 Texas Republican gubernatorial primary, Trump explicitly endorsed then-Gov. Greg Abbott over Huffines. He is now running in the March 2026 Republican primary for Texas Comptroller. As far as I can tell, Trump still hasn’t endorsed him. For transparency, one of Don Huffines’ sons—Russell Huffines—works in the Trump administration, and was hired in June 2025 as associate director of agency outreach. Don Huffins is the CEO of HEST Investments, which recently invested millions into a biotech company named Secretome Therapeutics, whic uses cardiac cells from baby hearts under 30 days old for tissue cell sourcing. 🔻Huffines Statement: "At the time of the sale, it was marketed that the proceeds would go to the victims. It has since been confirmed by the estate’s attorneys that proceeds from the sale benefited the victims," Huffines said. "What the enemy once meant for evil, God can redeem for good. That’s why we renamed the property San Rafael, after the saint associated with physical and spiritual healing, and began plans immediately to remake it as a Christian retreat, reclaiming it for Jesus..." "No law enforcement agency has ever approached me to request access, and I have always said unequivocally that any such request would be met with immediate access and full cooperation." 🔻 My Thoughts: None of this makes anyone guilty, but it’s definitely interesting how Massie tucked tail and RAN from his base who was inquiring about this.

It only takes one person paying attention to change the entire trajectory of a vulnerable child’s life. ​The situation began when a sheriff’s deputy arrived at a trailer home and knocked on the door. A young boy opened it to speak with him. Once they began talking, it became clear the child was in distress, visibly upset, and explaining that his back and leg hurt from falling down. The deputy immediately focused on trying to locate the boy's mother and find out her phone number, completely unaware of the heartbreaking truth of where she actually was. While they worked to get that crucial contact information, the boy's loyal puppy, Bruno, came over by him and offer comfort. ​The true story of what happened only came to light because of a vigilant neighbor living nearby. ​Trusting her instincts, the neighbor stepped forward to give law enforcement the critical truth. She revealed that an altercation had broken out outside her window. Instead of looking away, she witnessed the boy’s own mother yelling at him, grabbing him by the arm, and harming him. After the incident, she then left the injured boy behind entirely while she took his two siblings to school. ​Because this neighbor chose not to ignore the commotion and spoke up, law enforcement was able to immediately understand the true nature of the boy's injuries and realize he had been left at home alone. Deputies waited on the scene for the mother to return from the school run, and she was promptly arrested and taken into custody, facing charges for the abuse and neglect of her child. (First-degree c+uelty to c+ildren and Disorderly conduct) ​A special thank you goes out to the responding officers, not just for protecting the young boy, but for having such a kind heart toward his dog as well. Bruno is an entirely innocent puppy who unfortunately became part of a negative situation he couldn't understand, and the compassion the deputies showed to both the boy and his loyal pet made a world of difference during a terrifying moment. ​This situation serves as a profound reminder to always trust your gut. It is always better to be safe than sorry. Paying attention to your surroundings and speaking up when something feels wrong can entirely alter someone’s situation and save a life. ​A massive tribute goes out to all the caring neighbors everywhere who watch over their communities, protect the vulnerable, and refuse to stay silent. Their vigilance is the quiet fabric that keeps neighborhoods safe, proving that a single person's choice to care can make all the difference in the world.

Dude swings on cops and runs after they were releasing him from jail. ​This wild bodycam footage out of Greenfield, Wisconsin, captures the exact moment a routine post-booking transport erupted into a violent sidewalk brawl after a suspect made a desperate bid for freedom. ​The encounter began on Loomis Road when officers spotted a vehicle driving erratically. The driver, identified as Alexis, was clocked ripping down the street at roughly 60 mph, cutting off at least two other vehicles, and blowing right through a red light. When officers pulled him over, they noted the strong odor of marijuana. After a quick roadside investigation, they uncovered his wallet, keys, and a small bag of weed left on the front seat. ​Alexis arrested and booked going entirely through the system—brought into the police station, processed, and booked on his initial traffic violations and drug possession charges. ​With his initial paperwork finished and courtesy of catch and release style soft on crime, officers were actually attempting to do Alexis a minor favor by giving him a ride back. Because he was already processed and technically being released, the strict guard was down. ​But the moment an officer opened the squad car door, Alexis saw an opportunity. Instead of stepping out calmly, he explosively lunged from the backseat, assaulting the officer to force his way loose. ​The sudden breakout triggered an immediate, high-intensity struggle on the nearby grass and sidewalk: ​The Resistance: Alexis resisted the efforts of multiple officers, wrestling to break their grip. ​Throughout the struggle, Alexis yelling in Spanish claiming to the gathering neighborhood that he hadn't done anything wrong and didn't speak English. ​Officers had to use heavy physical control tactics to eventually re-handcuff him, and bring him back into compliance. ​By turning a courtesy ride into an assault on law enforcement, Alexis immediately erased any leniency he had earned. Instead of heading home, he booked himself a non-negotiable, immediate return trip straight back to a jail cell—this time facing a stack of much more severe felony escape and assault charges. ​That dude had to be on something, they were literally releasing him and he decided to do what he did to earn that trip back to jail. Pure definition of big dumb.

Amazon to lay off 600,000? There’s been a lot of noise floating around about Amazon laying off 75% of its workforce. On the surface, it looks like a baseless rumor. But after digging past the initial chatbot denials, the truth is, as usual, more complex and more significant. The “75% layoff” rumor stems from a leaked internal document, reportedly from Amazon’s robotics division. And no, they aren’t planning to lay off 75% of their entire workforce tomorrow. The reality, however, is a clear, data-driven strategy to aggressively automate the company at every level, from the warehouse floor to the corporate office. These leaks are a rare, honest glimpse behind the corporate curtain. They confirm what many of us have been saying for a long time: the story you hear publicly is not what is being discussed behind closed doors. Here’s a breakdown of what the leaked strategy reveals. The “Damage Control” Memo: What the Leak Reveals The 75% figure isn’t about people but processes. The Amazon robotics team is reportedly working toward a goal of automating 75% of the company’s operational processes. This goal is supported by several other staggering numbers: 160,000 Warehouse Roles Cut: The plan aims to eliminate 160,000 warehouse roles by 2027. 600,000 Avoided Hires: Perhaps more significant is the goal to avoid hiring 600,000 new workers by 2033. This will be achieved through attrition, hiring freezes, and replacing human-centric processes with automation. 30,000 Corporate Jobs: This isn’t just about blue-collar roles. The CEO, Andy Jassy, has been explicit that generative AI is expected to reduce the corporate workforce. The current round is targeting ~30,000 jobs in divisions like HR and PXT (People, eXperience, and Technology—Amazon’s HR wing). This isn’t a new direction for Amazon, which already operates over a million robots. But those are mostly “oversized Roombas” shuffling bins in highly controlled environments. A Quick History Lesson: Robotic automation in controlled environments is decades old. I remember seeing a robotic arm in a data center in the early 90s that managed a tape library. It was adapted from a car assembly line, safely in a cage, just picking up and putting down standardized tapes. What we’re seeing now is the next leap: automation moving into dynamic, complex, and administrative tasks. The new plan is about expanding automation’s capability, driven by modern AI and robotics that can handle tasks previously reserved for humans. By 2033, AI will be orders of magnitude more capable, and we will likely have millions of humanoid robots. Amazon is building the foundation for that future today. Follow the Money: $12.6 Billion in Savings Why the aggressive push? The financial incentive is massive. The leaked report estimates these automation efforts will save the company $12.6 billion in labor costs by 2027 alone. This breaks down to an average saving of 30 cents per item shipped. When you’re a company that ships billions of items, that 30 cents isn’t just a rounding error—it’s the entire financial motive. This is the cold, hard math of post-labor economics. Human capital is expensive. Automation, once the capital expenditure is paid, is not. How to Talk About Automation (Without Talking About It) One of the most telling parts of the leak is the section on public relations and messaging. The strategy reportedly included language advising staff to avoid terms like “automation” and “AI.” Instead, they were encouraged to use softer terms like “advanced technology” and “cobots” to suggest partnership instead of replacement. This is a classic corporate messaging strategy. It’s unpopular with employees and consumers to talk about replacing jobs. The only people who love to hear it are on Wall Street, where stock prices jump on news of layoffs because it signals lower operating costs. The other pillar of this PR strategy is to focus on “upskilling.” Amazon’s public defense consistently highlights its programs to upskill employees for higher-paying positions in robotics maintenance and engineering. The problem, as critics note, is that the number of new technical roles created is minimal compared to the hundreds of thousands of lower-skilled jobs being eliminated or avoided. This is the exact dynamic of a heavily automated economy: yes, new job categories are created, but they are far smaller and require a skill set that most of the displaced workforce does not have. The AI Red Pill vs. The AI Blue Pill As a society, we are not having an honest conversation about this transition. The Overton window is broken. Your average citizen either: Doesn’t believe AI and robotics can really take all the jobs. Believes it, but thinks the solutions are impossible and that imagining a better future is futile. I refuse to accept either position. This is the choice I call the AI Red Pill versus the AI Blue Pill. The Blue Pill comes in many forms: “AI is going to kill everyone.” “AI is just a stupid fad.” “The future is techno-feudalism, and you will own nothing and be happy.” The Red Pill is waking up to reality: Yes, hyper-abundance of cognition is coming. Yes, superintelligence is coming. Yes, humanoid robots that are better, faster, cheaper, and safer than humans are coming. And guess what? It’s going to be glorious for humanity. It will be a future where, instead of having to work to survive, any work you do is out of pure joy. This requires a critical distinction: Work: Anything that requires effort (climbing a mountain, running a marathon, growing a garden). Labor: Work that you get paid for. We are headed for a post-labor economy, not a post-work one. The labor is what’s being automated. This Amazon leak is just one more piece of evidence. This hyper-abundant future isn’t a foregone conclusion, and it won’t be easy. But there is a “golden path” to a future where work becomes optional. The first step on that path is to have the honest, clear-eyed conversation that corporations are trying so hard to avoid.

The “Damage Control” Memo: What the Leak Reveals The 75% figure isn’t about people but processes. The Amazon robotics team is reportedly working toward a goal of automating 75% of the company’s operational processes. This goal is supported by several other staggering numbers: 160,000 Warehouse Roles Cut: The plan aims to eliminate 160,000 warehouse roles by 2027. 600,000 Avoided Hires: Perhaps more significant is the goal to avoid hiring 600,000 new workers by 2033. This will be achieved through attrition, hiring freezes, and replacing human-centric processes with automation. 30,000 Corporate Jobs: This isn’t just about blue-collar roles. The CEO, Andy Jassy, has been explicit that generative AI is expected to reduce the corporate workforce. The current round is targeting ~30,000 jobs in divisions like HR and PXT (People, eXperience, and Technology—Amazon’s HR wing). This isn’t a new direction for Amazon, which already operates over a million robots. But those are mostly “oversized Roombas” shuffling bins in highly controlled environments. A Quick History Lesson: Robotic automation in controlled environments is decades old. I remember seeing a robotic arm in a data center in the early 90s that managed a tape library. It was adapted from a car assembly line, safely in a cage, just picking up and putting down standardized tapes. What we’re seeing now is the next leap: automation moving into dynamic, complex, and administrative tasks. The new plan is about expanding automation’s capability, driven by modern AI and robotics that can handle tasks previously reserved for humans. By 2033, AI will be orders of magnitude more capable, and we will likely have millions of humanoid robots. Amazon is building the foundation for that future today. Follow the Money: $12.6 Billion in Savings Why the aggressive push? The financial incentive is massive. The leaked report estimates these automation efforts will save the company $12.6 billion in labor costs by 2027 alone. This breaks down to an average saving of 30 cents per item shipped. When you’re a company that ships billions of items, that 30 cents isn’t just a rounding error—it’s the entire financial motive. This is the cold, hard math of post-labor economics. Human capital is expensive. Automation, once the capital expenditure is paid, is not. How to Talk About Automation (Without Talking About It) One of the most telling parts of the leak is the section on public relations and messaging. The strategy reportedly included language advising staff to avoid terms like “automation” and “AI.” Instead, they were encouraged to use softer terms like “advanced technology” and “cobots” to suggest partnership instead of replacement. This is a classic corporate messaging strategy. It’s unpopular with employees and consumers to talk about replacing jobs. The only people who love to hear it are on Wall Street, where stock prices jump on news of layoffs because it signals lower operating costs. The other pillar of this PR strategy is to focus on “upskilling.” Amazon’s public defense consistently highlights its programs to upskill employees for higher-paying positions in robotics maintenance and engineering. The problem, as critics note, is that the number of new technical roles created is minimal compared to the hundreds of thousands of lower-skilled jobs being eliminated or avoided. This is the exact dynamic of a heavily automated economy: yes, new job categories are created, but they are far smaller and require a skill set that most of the displaced workforce does not have. The AI Red Pill vs. The AI Blue Pill As a society, we are not having an honest conversation about this transition. The Overton window is broken. Your average citizen either: Doesn’t believe AI and robotics can really take all the jobs. Believes it, but thinks the solutions are impossible and that imagining a better future is futile. I refuse to accept either position. This is the choice I call the AI Red Pill versus the AI Blue Pill. The Blue Pill comes in many forms: “AI is going to kill everyone.” “AI is just a stupid fad.” “The future is techno-feudalism, and you will own nothing and be happy.” The Red Pill is waking up to reality: Yes, hyper-abundance of cognition is coming. Yes, superintelligence is coming. Yes, humanoid robots that are better, faster, cheaper, and safer than humans are coming. And guess what? It’s going to be glorious for humanity. It will be a future where, instead of having to work to survive, any work you do is out of pure joy. This requires a critical distinction: Work: Anything that requires effort (climbing a mountain, running a marathon, growing a garden). Labor: Work that you get paid for. We are headed for a post-labor economy, not a post-work one. The labor is what’s being automated. This Amazon leak is just one more piece of evidence. This hyper-abundant future isn’t a foregone conclusion, and it won’t be easy. But there is a “golden path” to a future where work becomes optional. The first step on that path is to have the honest, clear-eyed conversation that corporations are trying so hard to avoid.

EXCLUSIVE: ICE Nails Illegal Alien Rideshare Drivers in Florida During ‘Operation Lyft Off’ Federal authorities are targeting illegal aliens who drive for rideshare companies like Uber and Lyft in the state of Florida. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has been spearheading Operation Lyft Off, a multi-agency effort to crack down on illegal drivers in the Sunshine State. Border Hawk joined ICE for the third iteration of Operation Lyft Off, which unfolded on Jan. 17 in Cape Canaveral. Dozens of agents, officers, and deputies from a variety of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies gathered for a pre-dawn raid on parking lots at Port Canaveral, where scores of drivers were waiting for cruise ship passengers to disembark. Marshall Vliet, Supervisory Detention and Deportation Officer at the ICE Orlando Field Office, led a pre-op huddle during which he stressed the importance of safety and consensual encounters with subjects. “If the drivers do not want to speak to you, they do not have to. So, if they pull away, let them pull away,” Vliet stated, explaining that Brevard County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) deputies were monitoring roadways for fleeing drivers committing probable cause violations. “Make sure you guys are taking good tactical positions. You don’t want to be standing in front of a vehicle. We all know what happens when that happens,” Vliet cautioned, referencing an unprecedented surge of ramming attacks on ICE officers over the past year. “Obviously, we all have the warrior mindset, but we still want to be professional. No disrespecting folks. Let’s treat everybody with respect.” Just after 6 a.m., a caravan of law enforcement vehicles, accompanied by a detainee transport bus, descended on several lots full of cars and SUVs with individuals waiting or sleeping inside. Officers immediately began knocking on windows, questioning drivers, and detaining foreigners who were in the U.S. illegally, racking up roughly a dozen arrests before daybreak. Several subjects attempted to evade by driving away, but they were stopped for moving violations and subsequently questioned by BCSO deputies. While speaking with drivers who were in the U.S. legally, officers learned that some illegals had adopted new tactics to avoid law enforcement in the wake of previous executions of Operation Lyft Off. Legally-present drivers resent illegal aliens who steal coveted fares and reportedly even use illicit software to ‘cut in line’ ahead of drivers waiting for new rides. Illegal drivers were reportedly camped out in parking lots of local restaurants and gas stations, so plans were made for small teams to begin peeling away at random to avoid detection by drivers who communicate with each other via group chats and messaging apps. While en route to a nearby convenience store, our team came across a minivan that had been stopped by BCSO at a highway on-ramp. The driver was determined to be an illegal alien from Colombia and he was taken into custody on the spot. Upon arrival at a RaceTrac gas station, we observed officers questioning drivers in the lot and several more arrests were made. We then made our way back to the port where we learned a detainee had physically resisted officers before he was handcuffed and shackled. Another target managed to escape by running into a swampy area, forcing officers to dodge alligators while pursuing him on foot. A BCSO helicopter was deployed to assist in searching for the absconder, and he eventually surrendered after roughly an hour on the loose, bringing the operation to a conclusion. “Nobody else can do it better than Florida. With the Governor’s support and all the leadership we have here in the state of Florida, it’s unparalleled around the country,” Vliet told Border Hawk. In total, 18 illegal aliens were apprehended — 17 males and a lone female — and their vehicles were impounded. They were all citizens of countries in the Western Hemisphere: Mexico, Guatemala, Brazil, Colombia, and Venezuela. During processing, officers discovered one of the men had a disturbing criminal background and immigration history. “Reutilio Olvera-Contreras, a 46-year-old criminal illegal alien of Mexico, used false identification to hide under an alias, was also arrested during the Port Canaveral immigration operation while attempting to illegally drive passengers throughout Central Florida,” an ICE spokesperson told Border Hawk. “He has a criminal history that includes convictions for cocaine possession in January 2002, and felony driving with a suspended license in March 2016. He has habitual violations for driving without a license. He has a final order of removal issued by an immigration judge from June 29, 2016, and was granted a voluntary departure via ICE Air.” Additionally, three other detainees accepted voluntary deportations via ICE Air. Other agencies participating in Operation Lyft Off include U.S. Border Patrol, Homeland Security Investigations Tampa, FBI Tampa, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and Customs and Border Protection.

🚨 This video is deeply disturbing… especially if you are a woman.🚨 In Rochester, Minnesota, masked ICE agents ran a U.S. citizen’s plates, pulled her personal information, and then drove to her parents’ house to intimidate her. A legal observer was in her car, in a Walmart parking lot, observing ICE agents. As they left, she then drove behind them, and instead of continuing on their way, they deliberately drove 4 towns over, to the address tied to her registration… her parents’ house. They stop in front of the house, got out, and walked up to her window… “We just wanted to make sure you got home safe, Olivia.” She tells them, “This is my parents’ house. This isn’t where I live.” The agent responds, “If this is not where your vehicle is, you might want to go look that up with the state.” Translation: we pulled your data, and we’re comfortable using it, and showing up at a residence connected to you. Then they try to justify this intimidation… “You know we were trying to get a child molester, right? His plate came back as murder.” She immediately pushes back and says she knows they’re lying, because they stopped a woman in the parking lot. They respond, “His wife then?” So, now the story shifts… First it’s a male child molester, whose plate “came back as murder.” Then it’s his wife. If their alleged target was a man… stopping and questioning a random woman, without individualized probable cause, is a constitutional problem. Law enforcement cannot just detain or interrogate someone because they might be related to someone they claim to be investigating. You need specific, articulable suspicion tied to that individual. You don’t get to broaden the stop to whoever happens to be nearby. And if someone is actually convicted of murder, they are in prison. They are not casually driving around a Walmart parking lot. This is a perfect example of why DHS’s stories never add up, because they are always lying about going after “violent criminals.” They only say that to justify violating the constitution. As the exchange continues, they warn her to “stop following us,” and illegally threaten to arrest for “impeding”… which she points out she has not done. And if one video should set off every alarm bell in this country, about how ICE agents are weaponizing their authority against U.S. citizens who dare to observe them… it’s this one. When federal agents decide that filming them is grounds to run your plates, pull your personal information, and physically show up at a residence tied to you, that’s a serious shift in how power is being used. Access to government databases comes with strict limits for a reason. Those systems exist for legitimate investigations, not to send U.S. citizens a message. When that access is used in a way that feels retaliatory, it raises real constitutional concerns, especially around protected speech and privacy. And add that to the recent reports of ICE agents forcing entry into homes, without presenting judicial warrants, you start to see a broader pattern: Agents are pushing the boundaries of authority in ways that directly impact ordinary people. That combination… database access, residential intimidation, and aggressive tactics at people’s homes… should concern anyone who believes government power is supposed to have limits, and citizens are supposed to have protections.

The death of Nairobi’s once vibrant 24-hour economy wasn’t some tragic accident, nor was it killed by COVID. It was deliberately strangled - engineered through a toxic mix of rural backwardness, religious fanaticism, and ASAL looting money. Back in 2014, Uhuru Kenyatta set out to turn Nairobi into the lifeless graveyard it has become today, basically forcing the entire city to mirror the sleepy, nothing-happening village of Ichaweri in Gatundu where he grew up. He couldn’t stand a lively, modern urban center, so he set about killing it. He colluded with thieving ASAL governors - who were already gorging themselves on devolution billions - to bribe the National Police Service-Kenya . They rolled out alcoblow roadblocks everywhere and started arresting pedestrians after 7pm on trumped-up “loitering” charges. The goal? Choke off both vehicular and foot traffic in the CBD. Businesses bled out. The Intercontinental, Hilton, Grand Regency, 680 Hotel, and over a hundred other establishments shut their doors for good - long before any real COVID curfew ever existed. Nairobi was already living under an unofficial, suffocating curfew enforced by brain-dead Kiganjo D(minus) idiots who thought harassing citizens at night was “law enforcement.” To cover up his own depravity and glaring mental impotence, the son of an elephant slaughterer hid behind corrupt clergy. He manufactured a fake moral panic about “youth alcohol abuse,” summoned bishops, pastors, and MPs to State House, and gave them free rein to raid bars, wines & spirits shops, and nightclubs. Instant closures followed - without due process, without mercy. That’s when the ASAL looters swooped in. They gentrified the city overnight, turning beloved nightspots into bland Somali restaurants peddling tasteless, overpriced food. Nairobi’s nightlife - once a buzzing engine that sustained over 200,000 jobs - simply vanished. Why? Because Uhuru hated seeing young Kenyans enjoy life. The man would drink himself stupid, sleep all day, then cruise around at night in a Probox with Raila like some low-budget gangster duo. Spotting vibrant youth living freely drove him into childish rages and temper tantrums. He couldn’t stand their energy, their freedom, their joy - so he crushed it out of pure jealousy and small-minded rural stupidity. He didn’t bother creating replacement jobs. He didn’t care about livelihoods. He just wanted to punish an entire generation for daring to live better than his miserable, backwater worldview allowed. Kenyans, stop letting Uhuru Kenyatta and the Kenyatta family skate away with this. Don’t forgive, don’t forget, and don’t let them off easy. One day, one time - target their assets. Make them feel the pain they inflicted on Nairobi and on hundreds of thousands of lives they casually destroyed. This wasn’t governance. It was malice. Pure, petty, vindictive malice.

Fasting's the most underrated longevity hack on Earth. Doctors said skipping meals destroys your metabolism... Yet fasting is proven to boost your hormones, burn toxic fat, and repair DNA damage naturally. Here are 7 insane fasting benefits (bookmark this):👇️️️️️️ 1. Activates Autophagy Autophagy kicks in after 12–16 hours of fasting. It's your built-in cleanup system, recycling toxic and old cells into new, fresh ones. It also removes toxic debris linked to Alzheimer's, cancer, & accelerated aging. 2. Burns excess fat Fasting flips your body's fuel switch. When glycogen runs low, it start breaking down stored fat into ketones for energy. And the fact that no more calories are coming in your body... Means you're now forced to burn your own fat. 3. Boosts your hormones Fasting increases human growth hormone (HGH) by up to 5x baseline levels. Higher HGH means: - Faster fat loss - Enhanced recovery - Preserved lean muscle It also improves testosterone in men by reducing insulin resistance. 4. Repairs DNA damage With no food to process, your cells focus on SURVIVAL: - Repairing DNA strands - Cleaning out broken parts - Recycling damaged proteins Fasting's one of the few medicines that helps you rebuild from the inside out naturally. 5. Enhances Insulin Sensitivity Fasting gives your pancreas a break from constant insulin production. Over time, your cells become more responsive to insulin → better glucose control & lower diabetes risk. One study found 16:8 fasting improved insulin sensitivity by ~30% in just 8 weeks. I've found a supplement that increases fasting's benefits by 5X. It keeps insulin low, stabilizes energy, even lets you stay lean year-round. It allows me to stay at 10–12% body fat all year effortlessly, without energy crashes. Here's the one I use (AMAZON PRODUCT LINK): 6. Lowers Inflammation Fasting suppresses inflammatory cytokines like IL-6 and TNF-alpha — the molecular triggers behind: - Brain fog - Chronic pain - Slow recovery By quieting that response, your body heals faster and ages slower. I use fasting daily for the past year and here's exactly why: It gives me: - More energy - Leaner body - Better focus And I feel more alive than EVER. I've made a guide with my fasting protocol. Comment "Fasting" and I'll send it over. (Must Follow so I can DM) 🤝 *Every body works differently, this is not medical advice, just what worked on me." *Always consult a health expert before following any protocols." *Affiliate links included.*

Left: the original footage the FBI released of Tyler Robinson on the roof. Right: the same footage from the preliminary hearing. Every version people have been arguing about is the one on the right. A camera pointed at a courtroom screen. You lose enormous resolution doing that. Law enforcement has the original and always has. It doesn't show his face. It was never going to. He wore sunglasses and a hat the entire time he was on campus, and this is a wide angle camera across a parking lot. They know it's Tyler Robinson because of the corroborating evidence. He confessed to his boyfriend over text. He confessed on Discord. He confessed in a handwritten note he left under a keyboard. He confessed to his father, who called a former deputy, and then he turned himself in with his parents. Texts describing exactly how and where his rifle was hidden before that information was made public. The DNA. The car. A Google Maps route pulled off his own phone starting 23 minutes after the shot. Car wash video of his Challenger 11 minutes after that. A second route, at 1:33 in the morning, from the neighborhood beside where the rifle was found straight to his home in St. George. A dremel tool in his apartment, near a bag of .30-06 with one cartridge etched "test shot," matching the engraved casings sitting next to the rifle. And the video. A guy limping onto the roof with something bulging under his shirt at the waistband. Prone at the edge at 1222. Charlie is shot at 1223. He gets up and sprints on the same leg that couldn't bend going up the stairs minutes earlier. I hope they release all of it in the highest resolution they have. There are digital techniques to zoom in, stabilize, and sharpen footage. The people telling you this isn't Tyler Robinson also told you Charlie was killed by Egyptian planes, the U.S. military, French legionnaires, Ben Shapiro, and TPUSA, without a shred of evidence. After nine months devoted to defending the man accused of killing Charlie while attacking his widow, his friends, and his organization, they're not following the evidence. They don't care about the truth or justice for Charlie. It's always been about spinning a narrative to fit their preconceived ideological bias and making as much money as possible from Charlie's murder.

He confessed to his father, who called a former deputy, and then he turned himself in with his parents. Texts describing exactly how and where his rifle was hidden before that information was made public. The DNA. The car. A Google Maps route pulled off his own phone starting 23 minutes after the shot. Car wash video of his Challenger 11 minutes after that. A second route, at 1:33 in the morning, from the neighborhood beside where the rifle was found straight to his home in St. George. A dremel tool in his apartment, near a bag of .30-06 with one cartridge etched "test shot," matching the engraved casings sitting next to the rifle. And the video. A guy limping onto the roof with something bulging under his shirt at the waistband. Prone at the edge at 1222. Charlie is shot at 1223. He gets up and sprints on the same leg that couldn't bend going up the stairs minutes earlier. I hope they release all of it in the highest resolution they have. There are digital techniques to zoom in, stabilize, and sharpen footage. The people telling you this isn't Tyler Robinson also told you Charlie was killed by Egyptian planes, the U.S. military, French legionnaires, Ben Shapiro, and TPUSA, without a shred of evidence. After nine months devoted to defending the man accused of killing Charlie while attacking his widow, his friends, and his organization, they're not following the evidence. They don't care about the truth or justice for Charlie. It's always been about spinning a narrative to fit their preconceived ideological bias and making as much money as possible from Charlie's murder.

$GRAB Secret Sauce 🧵 How this company will thrive to $300B MC and beyond! It took me a while to gather the material for this thread. I will link down below other threads I talked extensively on all current and future $GRAB services to avoid making this thread too long. It is very important to understand product roadmap on the SuperApp, and how it will make money over the long-term, and transfer that value creation to shareholders. The closest analogy for new investors to understand is Amazon obsession over customers where $AMZN makes a little bit of money on each transaction to break even, but make the most money on Prime Membership. Or Costco obsession over customers where $COST makes 10-15% margin or lower on most products to break even on operation, but to make the most money on Costco membership fees. Jeff Bezos famously said "investors should invest in the company that obsesses customer experiencein the long term, there's never any misalignment between customer interests and shareholder interests!" The TLDR version: Being Customer Obsessed over Competition. We never heard much where Anthony Tan described or bitter about competition. Because Anthony does pay attention to competition, but he is more focused or obsessed on how to serve customers better at the lowest price possible, those that pay for $GRAB services. It is not just a business, it is a mission from first day of $GRAB or formerly known as MyTeksi. Anthony Tan and Co-founder Hooi Ling Tan both met at a class “Business at the Base of the Pyramid.” This class shaped the years of $GRAB success and today mission, creating a valuable business servicing the mass market, the lower income communities. Now, lets start with Customer Obession. $Grab does not see just users as customers, Anthony Tan views drivers, merchants, and partners are customers as well for long term success of the company. This is a big differentiator that contributed to GRAB success today. A. Hyperfocus on users: Grab emphasizes safety, with 99.9% of rides completed without incidents, and offers affordable options like Saver rides (26% of mobility transactions, 1.5X higher order frequency) alongside high-value services like Premium Rides and GrabUnlimited (3.7X more frequent usage, 2X higher retention). This likely enhances user satisfaction and retention, driving revenue growth, as seen in their Q1 2025 earnings of $773 million, up 18% year-over-year. But it does not stop at rides, it translate this obsession into food/grocery/financial and other services. Anthony Tan centered $GRAB success on affordability and reliability over the long-term since its early startup day. Essentially, the long-term TAM for servicing 2- 3 billion people is to get 30-50% of them on GrabUnlimited. Now it is $4.99 a month, will probably be adjusted to $7-$10 adjusted to inflation 10-15 years from now or around $7-$10B or more subscription revenue straight to net income B. Hyperfocus on Merchants: Grab has significantly focused on merchant growth as a core strategy to expand its ecosystem, particularly through its GrabFood, GrabMart, and financial services like GrabFinance. The reason is simple, these merchants/businesses are bringing in user growth. Businesses also pay GRAB on ea transaction very well, and at the same time using Cheap Loan(provided by Grab) to expand, and pay on GrabAds(this will have the highest margin after GrabUnlimited up to 50-60%). Grab also investing heavily on #AI to help merchants with OpenAI and Anthropic partnerships. The impact is unreal with this core strategy, many merchants today have more than 50-60% of its monhtly sales from $GRAB SuperApp(grew from 10-15% in 2021-2022). This approach has positioned Grab as a leader in Southeast Asia’s on-demand market, with significant potential for further expansion as it continues to innovate and optimize C. Hyperfocus on Drivers: In today world, you will never see $uber or Lyft talking about seeing drivers as customers. GRAB is the only company that sees Drivers as customers, and this focus is critical to maintaining a robust supply of driver-partners to meet consumer demand for ride-hailing, food delivery, and other services. Grab has scaled its driver network significantly since going public day with 5-6m registered driver-partners. Expanding rental/low fee fleets to secure drivers, creating stable employment in its current 8 countries. President Ferdinand R. Marcos Bongbong Marcos recently acknowledged $GRAB's significant impact on employment in the Philippines. All of 8 countries Grab operates in, all presidents and PM have praised Grab contribution on employment in their countries. GRAB makes its the company mission to expand more drivers registered on $GRAB SuperApp. Last Fun Fact, GRAB drivers in its 8 market have much higher income than BA degree holders and in many cases x2 or x3 the average salaries due to Grab Dynamic Pricing to bring supply and demand back to lowest price. AKA when demand is mad high, price will be higher to attract more drivers to bring down price. Drivers financial success is Grab long-term success. Conclusion: Grab's SuperApp success, as evidenced by Q1 2025 financials, is tied to putting customers, drivers, and merchants first. Their focus on safety, affordability, financial inclusion, and upskilling creates a robust ecosystem, reflected in increased MTUs, revenue growth, and profitability. The SuperApp will expand to 3 billion people TAM or more over the long term. 1. User Growth(Transactional Users) 2. GrabAds (expanding beyond SuperApp into Physical Grocery/Fleets) 3. GrabUnlimited( Expanding valuable services/features to make it stupid not to have it) Over the long-term, $GRAB will expand beyond SuperApp. Just like when Amazon has some spare computer capacity and decided to rent it out and became the AWS today, which is a behemoth that's now >4 times bigger than its original shopping business. No, I'm not saying $GRAB is the next Amazon. I'm telling you that with this "Secret Sauce" strategy of customer obsession, Anthony Tan can expand to other ventures with the massive FCF+ and profitable SuperApp to fund it. Disclaimer: I do own a large position in the Private Portfolio, and currently 100% on $GRAB on small public portfolio. This is the public portfolio where I contribute $500-$1000 of my own money. This public portfolio is not intended to be just 100% pure $GRAB, but it is the first position. I will try to keep it under 10 companies, and high quality growth businesses ONLY. I will not bother with garbage or hyped businesses where people just hype x10 x100 x1000 next week/year. You can follow others for that. Everything I wrote here is NOT Financial Advice!
