The goal of a politician is to survive, not to grow. They grow by surviving.
"The first lie is the hardest. Each one after that comes more easily. Honestly is rarity nowadays.”
One time, I was sitting with friends when a junior asked about investing in stocks and cryptocurrencies. I advised them that true investment requires substantial time and resources, often yielding mediocre returns.
