Did you apply what his book says?

The Millionaire Fastlane by MJ DeMarco explains three financial paths people follow. The Sidewalk is living with no financial plan—spending everything you earn and staying vulnerable to money problems. The Slowlane is the traditional advice: get a job, save slowly, invest for decades, and hope to retire rich at 65. The Fastlane focuses on building businesses or systems that scale, create value for many people, and generate income not tied directly to your time. The key Fastlane principles are Control, Entry, Need, Time, and Scale (CENTS)—guidelines for building a business that can grow wealth faster. The book’s main message is that by creating scalable value instead of trading time for money, you can potentially reach financial freedom much earlier than the traditional path. What do you think? Basically, I just want to build my business and make everything about that business. I am tired of working for others. Is this book the best guide to that?

I live in Italy and all the Iranians are literally celebrating in the streets here.

Yeah, everyone thought absolutely no way would Trump get elected again. I think people overlook how catastrophic the fumble was from Biden fucking up, then last minute running an unpopular black woman who talked about having guns during her last minute campaign, but even with that, it's astounding people still idolize the absolute most garbage human ever and elected him.

Any predictions? Seems to me like it will be basically uninhabitable, especially if they cannot fix the rot.

Anyone that like's Elon in anyway I just can't take seriously.

Hungary isn't that bad tbh, I went to Budapest and there weren't homeless fentanyl addicts everywhere like in any USA city of that cities size.

What do you mean you're glad it's resurfacing before AI automation fully takes hold?

Might not be up for long, someone post a mirror if they have one:

How does this even make sense? Isn't ICE, by definition, an organization that only has any purpose on American soil? What the hell?

Could also be fatigue in general cuz shit-fuck was done about that, the genocide there is still happening. Don't necessarily think it means no one cares about Iran.

I'm a little confused by your response, can you kinda re-word it or something?

How do you intend to resist?

Well as I've shown, tons of Italians are protesting it. I don't think you should blame Italians for this one.

Seems no one really cares about this, but it's not a good precedent to start sending ICE agents around the damn world.

Crazy, video below: Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) is assaulted by a protester during her first town hall meeting in her district of Minneapolis amid ongoing tension and protest of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. The protester jumps out of his seat and charges the representative before reportedly throwing a substance on her. This came following her call on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.Show Less https://www.c-span.org/clip/public-affairs-event/rep-ilhan-omar-assaulted-by-protester-at-town-hall-meeting/5191018

I left 3.5 years ago bro

Really, really hope Italians push back enough on this:

When he dies, his kids will just continue the nonsense. Sometimes inheriting wealth seems like it shouldn't be allowed. "David Ellison had access to resources most people could only dream of: As a teen, he vacationed on his father’s super-yacht and received his first airplane around age 13. Larry Ellison set up large trust funds for both David and his sister Megan filled with Oracle (and later NetSuite) stock, making them multimillionaires or even billionaires at a relatively young age. Those funds eventually helped David finance his own film company and Hollywood projects."

Agreed with you on everything. Also, guess what, they're even sending ICE to the Winter Olympics in Italy. Make it make sense:

https://truthout.org/articles/immigrant-children-lead-uprising-at-texas-detention-center/ You can hear thousands of children screaming in the video. The immigrant jail, where many children are detained, has “horrible” conditions, including “putrid” drinking water. An uprising broke out at an immigrant jail in southern Texas on Saturday, with around 1,000 immigrants detained in the facility — many of them children — chanting “Libertad” and “Let us go,” according to an attorney who witnessed the event. The protest took place at South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, which closed in 2024 but was reopened by the Trump administration this year to detain immigrant families.

They've definitely gone "mask-on" actually. Which is pathetic because definitely 100% of those same people wouldn't wear them during COVID.

I don't even know how to respond to that. Absurdly incorrect sentence.

Unless you are part of the 1% benefitting from Trump's policies, if you actually have the money to relocate and you aren't doing it, you are absolutely insane imo.

They really are, and that's why I left and will never live there again. I'd rather live in the worst shit hole of Europe (I don't, but I'd rather) than return.
