Connecticut Finn in Manhattan - regulatory marketplaces, Nordic AI Nights in NYC, AI startups, CallCompany. Jyväskyläläislähtöinen!

Finnish tech industry is led by companies that help nations see through clouds and count every bear in a forest. Italian tech scene is led by companies buying moribund US B2B SaaS firms and laying off 85% of their pampered employees.

Tularemia, leprosy, measles, salmonella, diarrhea parasites, mumps and flesh burrowing screw worms are ravaging America. You keep your head down, eat Swedish hard bread, frozen IKEA pancakes and Finlandia Edam cheese and hope for the best.

The dark truth few want to contemplate is that the markets want America to surrender and leave the Middle East. Markets just want cheap flow of goods. They don’t care about America “winning”. They want an end to this nonsense. And a rapid American defeat is the quickest way.

Did they actually engineer all those false leaks to CBS, WSJ and CNN because they thought Iran would just surrender? This is getting so dumb it’s legit scary. And Iran won’t believe any threats from now on,

Bahrain air bases have been evacuated. It’s hard to comprehend that a fatal escalation in Iran may happen EXACTLY when the US bond market scare and Japanese currency crisis reach culminations. The timing is astonishing.

We’re gonna end up using a Trillion to try to keep Japanese yield at 4% when it should be at 7%. Because Japan cannot survive 7% yield with their debt load. We are tying to defend an impossible imbalance to delay the inevitable.

Certain Finns are starting to sound like American LinkedIn. One told me today “mä haluun olla niinku enemmän intentional” and I very nearly said something I would have regretted immediately.

Lord, the 10 year broke through 4.75%. What will become of us. There is no budget, deficit is gonna hit 7% and Pentagon spending will rise by 50%. This Chevy has no driver. Jesus take the wheel.

These Yankees thought they could run 7% budget deficits forever. Bold as you please. They thought they could live like pigs in a raspberry bush, as the Finnish folk saying goes. The bond market wrath comes slowly, but is terrible to behold.

Anyway, Nokia is up 8% because this 24-year old nepo baby told Jane Street that he is one of 400 people who understands future. And they gave him all the money. And he kind of didn’t know, so now everything AI goes up. This is hard to explain to normies, but it’s high finance.
