Elon Musk: With Optimus, we might be able to stop putting people in prison. “If somebody's committed a crime, we might be able to provide a more humane form of containment of future crime. You now get a free Optimus, and it's just going to follow you around and stop you from doing crime. Other than that, you get to do anything; it's just going to stop you from committing crime. That's really it. You don't have to put people in prisons and stuff. It's pretty wild to think of all the possibilities, but I think it's clearly the future.” Tesla Shareholder Meeting, November 6, 2025

Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 is making significant strides in various sectors, particularly in politics, economics, and military cooperation. Recent highlights include a robust increase in industrial production, which rose by 9.3% in September. This growth reflects the Kingdom's commitment to diversifying its economy away from oil dependence as part of its Vision 2030 initiative. In a key development, the Saudi government announced a memorandum of understanding with the UAE to combat cross-border corruption, reinforcing regional stability and governance. Moreover, Saudi Arabia's military engagements are expanding, with a multinational military drill recently launched at a naval base aimed at bolstering security in the Red Sea. On the economic front, a partnership between EDF, SPIC, and Aramco Power has reached financial close on 1.4 GW of projects, highlighting Saudi Arabia's push towards renewable energy. This aligns with the Kingdom's strategies to enhance energy efficiency and sustainability. Furthermore, Saudi Arabia is actively enhancing its infrastructure, with localization of military spending projected to rise to nearly 25% by 2024, indicating a significant move towards self-sufficiency in defense.

🇺🇦 Ukraine's ongoing fight against Russian aggression amplifies its significant geopolitical stance, highlighted by various developments focused on military and political outcomes. In recent updates, Kyiv's anti-corruption agency has initiated investigations into alleged schemes involving the energy sector, including major raids that uncover vast corruption networks. Concurrently, Ukrainian officials disclosed intentions to procure more advanced Patriot air defense systems from the US. President Zelenskyy emphasizes the need for these systems amid increased Russian military aggression targeting Ukraine's critical infrastructure. Additionally, calls for international action have emerged as Kyiv presses institutions like the IAEA for intervention following strikes on nuclear power supply lines. The situation remains critical as Ukraine adapts to the ongoing threats while establishing frameworks for recovery and reconstruction in wartime. Difficulties are compounded by energy supply disruptions impacting major companies like Ferrexpo, which has temporarily halted production due to extensive strikes on the national power grid, illustrating the interplay between military conflict and economic stability.

🇦🇫 Afghanistan: Recent Developments Affecting Regional Stability In light of escalating tensions and ongoing negotiations affecting Afghanistan's future, several key developments have emerged. Pakistan's military has reported the elimination of 20 militants in regions near the Afghan border, highlighting ongoing security concerns and counterterrorism efforts within the area. Meanwhile, Afghanistan's geopolitical relationship remains fragile, particularly with Pakistan, as border closures have cost an estimated $200 million in trade losses over recent weeks. The peace talks aimed at easing these tensions have recently failed, with accusations exchanged regarding unreasonable demands by both sides. The Taliban has issued stern warnings to Pakistan amidst fears that failure to address these issues could lead to an outbreak of conflict. In a significant diplomatic move, Turkish officials are set to visit Pakistan to mediate talks aimed at resolving these tensions. Pakistan has reaffirmed its willingness to engage in dialogue with the Taliban, citing the need for cooperative measures to combat shared security threats. The dynamics of Afghan-Pakistani relations remain delicate, influenced by military actions and diplomatic overtures from neighboring countries. The situation continues to evolve, as local and regional actors seek a resolution that stabilizes both nations in the face of rising challenges from militant groups operating across borders.

Of course. You can also borrow money using your house as a collateral. But your house is worthless if you didnt sell it to liquidate it into cash. Thats what stock is as well. If you wanna tax capital gain on stock - then you have to tax people's houses which increase in price due to real estate boom.... Then everybody is gonna go bankrupt.

BREAKING: Thailand suspends ceasefire deal with Cambodia after two Thai soldiers were injured by a new landmine planted by Cambodia soldiers on the Thai side of the border

Same issue occurred in Mexico. Expats started buying and living there, making it harder for citizens. I’d imagine the same occurs in the Philippines as well or maybe even Thailand.

I hope they can fix the home prices though. Its a global phenomenon. Singapore govt put some draconian laws to prevent foreigners from buying up properties which would drive the prices up. My memory remembers it now that the foreigners have to spend double the price of the locals to buy property (its all tax for the added price)
