Woke capital vs. “regular” capital? Cute idea. Wall Street has no politics—just profit. It’ll wear any costume that moves money: woke today, MAGA tomorrow, whatever the wind demands. Momentum isn’t conviction; it’s just the shark circling. Conviction is irrelevant. nypost.com/2025/11/21/o...

Africa keeps chasing “empowerment” through the same old extraction-and-export game. A giant continent reduced to an economic minnow. Stop digging and selling. Start building domestic economies that actually create value instead of enriching a tiny elite. globallnghub.com/report-prese...

Has Trump learned since 2020? Maybe. He’s gone from chaotic outsider to chaotic-but-calculating politician. Sharper, tougher—and now part of the machine he once rattled. I’m not mad. Seeing how momentum rules everything cured me of hope and resistance. I enjoy the show. www.wmbriggs.com/post/59198/
