If you are black and work in tech and show up for an interview especially at FAANG , pray to your ancestors than your interviewer is not of Indian descent
And yes. Not all Indians. But I know things and have experienced things
Over & above sending Ruto home, I can’t wait to see that Oxford charlatan shown the door too.
The sheer arrogance and condescension with which he addresses us, the very taxpayers who fund his lifestyle, is absolutely disgraceful.
Think of this:
That sec/pri school in your village.
What could 30Million KES do for it?
New lab ? Better seats ? More books.
Now imagine how much 1 billion KES could do. 30 upgraded schools
That is how much Ruto has given the Bayern/Ajax lads
Complete contempt for us
Energy prices likely to remain elevated upto mid next yr/longer
Food inflation may stay high if the rains fail between now and Dec
Election yr> fiscal expansion
CBK holds at 8.75% for longer>pressure on the shilling & bond yield.
Kenya's inflation rose to 7.3% in October 2026 from 6.8% in September, just 0.2 percentage points below the CBK's 7.5% upper target bound:
— The increase was driven by higher transport costs (+17.1% YoY), food prices (+10.2%) & housing and energy costs (+3.7%), with monthly increases in petrol (+6.0%), diesel (+4.4%), kerosene (+14.7%) & fresh packeted milk (+4.7%).
— Core inflation accelerated to 4.3% from 4.0%, while non-core inflation rose to 15.1% from 14.0% in September.
— Rising inflationary pressures could constrain further interest rate cuts ahead of the December 2026 MPC meeting.
Markets sold off yesterday after two major evenings.
$GOOG & MSFT are both down 12% & 1.5%
Next week when markets open after midterms & democrats take the house ( maybe senate too ) we get a bigger sell off on semis
Democrats up & down ballot are anti data centers
We are paying foreign clubs 600M KES to come play here for 90 mins
Kenya has 19 external-beam radiotherapy machines .Each costs between 400-600M KES
11 of those are in private hospitals .Out of reach for you and me
We could buy one with what we are paying foreign clubs

A country NOT at war is spending 252Billion Kenya shillings defense.
You ask why ? Because that the easiest to steal. Opaque spending. Tenders/contracts hidden behind “national security” veil
Meanwhile. University lecturers are on strike for weeks now .

I will buy $10k of $ANT at IPO or in the months after
Given a 10% chance of a 100 times payoff, you should take that bet every time.
I can’t think of a similar bet in the last 10 yrs
Could go to zero. That’s okay.
Could go to $1M over decades.
Your kids will thank you.
Hypothetical poll on Blind assuming $MSFT offers healthcare for an year+ 5 months pay to buy out
More younger people likely to accept -they can re build career elsewhere. For older folks it’s career suicide
Ageism in recruitment is still very much alive
$MSFT is offering to buy out 70,000 employees.
AI is reshaping the world in ways we could never have imagined
In our lifetime we will see the apartheid experiment in Israel end
We will see Palestine attain statehood
Because more and more young people in Western “democracies” who have propped this ethno state for years are now seeing it for what it is .
My career has rotated from being an IC , to a manager to being an IC again
Here is an interesting experiment by Google on whether managers matter

I hope Sufuna’s team is watching and following.
We need to create the largest mobilizing force , both on the ground and online
An army of volunteers to knock doors because our future is at stake
