Saudi Arabia has spent on my education and living expenses about $500,000 when I was studying in the US, and it’s been doing the same for hundred of thousands of students yearly for the past 40 years. Saudi Arabia not only offer free college education inside and outside the country, they actually pay you to go to college! All of this done before even taxes were introduced back in 2018! Saudi Arabia although it’s been demonized everyday in the west, It’s the most educated and advance in the Middle East, as it’s with its Arab Gulf neighbors are ranked top 5 safest countries in the world. it’s also one of the most tech savvy nations where every service the government provides has its own app. Saudi tech Entrepreneurs are funded by the government with interest free loans which created a tech startup environment that is similar to the one in US back in the 90s.

I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

[@mfmahmoo]

You seem to have a very tenuous grasp of math. That stake never went above a few % points, and has represented a small to moderate loss ever since

[@user-sk9hi1oy7g]

he just manager

[@hakshustletv]

mfmahmoo As of right now he seems to be right on the money, I think it was a longer term play, did he overpay? Perhaps as it would’ve been nicer for him to get in at a better entry point but it’s beginning to even out & at this rate it may not be long before it begins to turn a nice profit minus the pandemic. At a $70B valuation on paper is about where they’d break even, I think it surpassed that sometime last year, of course market cap is different but valuation wise I think they have it at around 80-100B right now so his investment is somewhat profitable or break-even at the bare minimum on average. I figure market cap is around 60B, a sensible valuation is around 82B, call it 80, find the middle ground of 70 and at 3.5B for 5% if my maths isn’t a little off that’s about break-even.

[@mfmahmoo]

Haks Hustle they bought it at a valuation of 62b. Current market cap is 60b (most accurate valuation since it’s listed). A considerable loss considering inflation/ opportunity cost. Although I must admit they could have invested in wework and gotten wrecked.

[@mfmahmoo]

Also uber is not a good long term play in my opinion. I think most loss-making growth businesses with no clear toad to profitability such as uber, food delivery, etc are short term play where VCs want to cash out post IPO. I don’t want to be sicker holding on to such a stock post IPO. Who’s going to bankroll further losses? Lines of credit? Additional stock issuances diluting my stake?

Temporarily waive/forgive (NOT just defer) rent for tenants and mortgage payments until people can safely return to work. Periodically, you have to let the land lie fallow in order for it to become replenished with fertilizers. This solution doesn’t even require us to collect or dish out more money. (The government could offer tax credits or refund payments to landlords for repairs, upkeep and employees. Property taxes could be waived. Banks would be bailed out, if they needed it). Moving forward, this should be just part of the cost for doing business as a landlord or lender. Fortunately, times like these are not common. But when they do come, the landlords and lenders should help bear some of the burden. Until the vaccine is developed, 2020 needs to become a Jubilee-type year.

[@beforetheyear0323]

perhaps we should recognize that to create the political is to embody the permanent tension between the institutionalization of freedom and the philosophical interrogation. To the extent that we are free to think then we can switch to a broader examination of the process of thinking itself. We can, therefore, speak of freedom as philosophy’s non-identical twin in the project of questioning and challenging the thinkable and practiced reality. To posit philosophy as a finished and exhaustive knowledge would be as if we defined and practiced freedom as the repetition of the same. The theological covering up of the philosophical interrogation goes hand in hand with the loss of the creative and revolutionary nature of freedom. To be sure, an individual who has already entered the philosophical questioning cannot avoid the explicit and free interrogation of positing other modes of thinking and other forms of the thinkable. It is fascinating to note that the philosophical questioning is a mode of thinking that can create cracks in the surrounding walls of the instituted thought. Philosophy as critical interrogation, therefore, takes place in the gap between free instituting thought and instituted thought. It is here that we might begin to understand why philosophy is the ongoing task of bringing freedom into political life as a lived corrective to the theological.
