@nustonks @StriveFunds That’s not what I said. Refusing to *build an asset management business* in China is different from refusing to *invest* in China. A fundamental difference, actually. — PolitiTweet.org

@ThePolForum Problems in the market are indeed best solved through the market. — PolitiTweet.org

A poor black family and a poor white one with the same amount of money are equally poor no matter what’s happening to the median white and black family. Nation of Victims comes out on 9/13. It makes points too controversial to say today, yet too obvious to have said 20 years ago — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The standard talking point to explain Europe's energy crisis is to blame Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but the real question is why Europe was so reliant on Russia in the first place. Answer: chronic underinvestment in oil & gas production. America should pay attention. https://t.co/MOtYFSi6Lu — PolitiTweet.org

Worth a read. “Why have no institutions in the financial services industry except one - the recently-launched Strive Asset Management - opted to place the investor first, by giving priority to profit over social issues?” https://t.co/CKCZRbveLo — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SquawkCNBC: "The course of action Europe took to underinvest in fossil fuels was not even good for the environment," says @VivekGRamasw… — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The attack on fossil fuels isn’t about saving the environment. It’s an attack on human flourishing. That isn’t a side effect, but the main point: it’s why the biggest opponents to fossil fuels also oppose nuclear & hydroelectric power. And once you see it, it’s hard to “unsee.” — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The problem with virtue signaling is that the appearance of virtue eventually becomes more important than being virtuous. See the West’s war on fossil fuels, which shifts production to Russia & China: bad for $, bad for security, bad for the environment, but good for sanctimony — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Europe: winter is coming. Russia has a long history of outlasting its EU opponents over long winters. That’s the game Putin is playing now by taunting the EU with gas supply cuts. Shame on Europe for putting itself in this position. Discussing on @SquawkCNBC tomorrow at 7:25am. — PolitiTweet.org

@FuturesPicks Thank you. I’m torn about the national service idea, still thinking it through. — PolitiTweet.org

$DRLL crossed $300mm in AUM and $420mm in traded volume by end of week 3. Strive has officially engaged with 10+ publicly traded U.S. energy companies since launch. Time to unleash American energy. — PolitiTweet.org

Just read through Nation of Victims one last time ahead of release next month. I enjoyed writing Woke, Inc. - but the upcoming one is the more important book. Signed edition now available to order through Barnes & Noble below. https://t.co/36Hc5Adu38 — PolitiTweet.org

Rule of thumb: if you’re the only person in a room who has an opinion, speak up and share it. You’ll usually find that you weren’t the only person in the room who had the opinion. — PolitiTweet.org

If we’re going to have civil rights laws in this country, we may as well actually follow them. — PolitiTweet.org

The “math is racist” debate strikes again. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The oldest political trick in the book: you can bribe people for votes as long as you use the government’s money for it. Both parties do it. Time tested strategy. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

America’s inner spirit has been domesticated by a new culture that celebrates victimhood and penalizes excellence. Grateful to ⁦@benshapiro⁩ for his unapologetic comments. It’s time to bring excellence back. New book comes out on Sept 13. https://t.co/PbSvFNjPN9 — PolitiTweet.org

The classical definition of fascism refers to the merger of state power and corporate power. I’m not sure what semi-fascism means, but I do know what history teaches us about those who use the f-word to label their opponents. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@CChezwick That’s a true mark of mastery. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

And yes, this is from first-personal experience as a writer. I’m mostly talking to myself here. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

There are a rare few exceptions to this rule - quantum mechanics, philosophy of math, maybe a few other things. But generally the rule applies. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Most writers make simple concepts sound complicated to compensate their own lack of understanding of simple concepts, without even recognizing that they’re doing it. Good rule of thumb: if you can’t explain it to a high school student, you probably don’t get it yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Everyone who’s focused on politicized proxy voting should turn their attention to the bigger problem of “shareholder engagement.” Most of BlackRock’s & State Street’s influence isn’t via proxy voting. It’s the exercise of soft power over CEOs & boards. They even boast about it. — PolitiTweet.org

There’s an epidemic ravaging our economy: a government-created epidemic of laziness. Republicans and Democrats are equally responsible for it. Nation of Victims comes out on Sept 13. It may trigger the identitarian left, but it’s going to make a lot of conservatives blush too. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s an easy win for the Biden administration: let Novak Djokovic enter America to compete in 2022, just like he did in ‘21 and ‘20. Covid health risks are much lower, vaccine is even further out of date, and he’s recovered from infection in the meantime. “Follow the science.” — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@sosofancy @Spinchange @BlackRock You’re right that I now have a vested interest & everyone should know that. Totally agree. But just for fun, try engaging with my arguments on the merits. I read your paper long ago. Take a look at my book. My guess is you won’t find it to be “uninformed tosh” but maybe I’m wrong — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@sosofancy @Spinchange You seem like a well-intentioned guy who’s hungry for a cause. I’m glad you’ve found one. You might want to consider reading the best version of all of the arguments before resorting to cheap ad hominem Twitter attacks. Happy to have a substantive discussion when you’re ready. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@sosofancy @Spinchange I wrote a book on it long before I started (or knew that I would start) an asset management firm. Try reading it. I prefer to advance my scholarship through means other than Twitter. Congrats on making the unsolicited ad hominem attack though, it says a lot. — PolitiTweet.org
