☕ Your morning coffee is a middle finger to central planning. Think about it: This cup required millions of strangers—farmers, truckers, roasters, baristas—to cooperate across borders, languages, and beliefs. No government could’ve planned this. No politician could’ve forced it. Yet here it is: hot, fresh, and perfectly timed to your morning. Capitalism’s dirty secret? 🔥 No permission slips. Farmers experiment. Businesses pivot. Workers hustle—not for “the collective,” but for their own survival. 🔥 No bureaucrat’s blueprint. Prices and competition quietly steer chaos into your cup. 🔥 No savior needed. You shape the system every time you choose fair trade, oat milk, or a cheaper brew. Watch the video below. I’ll show you why your coffee—something so simple—could only exist when people are free to fail, profit, and try again. Spoiler: No “master plan” required. Just human ambition, raw and unleashed. ☕ Adapted from my essay “I, Coffee” (inspired by Leonard Read’s “I, Pencil”). #Capitalism #Economics #Business #Leadership #SupplyChain #Innovation #GlobalTrade #GenZ

The Become a Better Investor Newsletter – 5 April 2025 The great math behind Trump’s tariffs: For every country, they just took the US trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to the US, or applied a minimum 10% tariff. The real reason behind the tariffs: As Bill Ackman says, the tariffs are a negotiation tactic. However, the response is uncertain, and therefore, it’s a high-stakes game, which could lead to a trade war. Gold hits US$3,200: With Trump’s tariff galore, uncertainty spread throughout global financial markets, and gold hit US$3,200/oz t for the first time in history. Russia and Australia have the largest gold reserves: At 12,000 tons each, Russia and Australia have the largest gold reserves in the ground, followed by South Africa with 5,000 tons. Indonesia, Canada, China, and the US have around 3,000 tons of gold reserves. Larry Fink shills Bitcoin: BlackRock’s Larry Fink said Bitcoin could threaten the US dollar’s reserve currency status. As Assness says, maybe not the most unbiased source. #investing #stocks #assetallocation #stratgegy #macro #economics

Yesterday, a significant earthquake originating in Myanmar shook Bangkok, leaving a strong impact. Having experienced numerous earthquakes while residing in Los Angeles, I can attest that this one was intense. Recollections of a similar event striking Bangkok around 2012 come to mind. The aftermath saw people flooding the streets, the halting of mass transit trains, and total gridlock on the roads. What should have been my 30-minute journey home by car turned into a three-hour ordeal. My thoughts are with those unable to return to their buildings or feeling apprehensive about doing so. The resilience of Bangkok's infrastructure will now face scrutiny, with some structures possibly deemed uninhabitable pending thorough inspections over the next week. I am relieved that my mother's caregivers safely relocated her to the ground level during the tremors, allowing her to rest undisturbed. i’m also grateful for my neighbors who helped along the way and kept up the communication with me as I was on the other side of town. Mom's aging brings a certain forgetfulness, a blessing in times like these. This morning, when I asked mom about her experience yesterday she could barely recollect. Coincidentally, I had just concluded a podcast discussion on risk and uncertainty earlier that morning. The unpredictability of earthquakes in Bangkok, given its low seismic activity, underscores the unexpected nature of such events. My heart goes out to the building construction workers and those involved in the rescue operations at the two major collapsed buildings in Bangkok. It's a testament to the physical infrastructure that, despite this tragedy, the loss of life was thankfully minimal. When compared to equally large earthquakes in other cities in Asia are loss of life was absolutely minimal. Prioritizing each day to be fulfilling and devoid of regrets is paramount in my life, fostering a sense of peace and contentment. May this sentiment resonate with you as well.
