Knightsbridge: Your Ideal Partner for Relocating from France
In light of the recent parliamentary election in France, many of the country's wealthiest residents are considering relocation due to concerns about political instability and the prospect of higher taxes. The election left no party with an absolute majority, resulting in a hung parliament, but a left-wing alliance took the most seats. This has led to increasing worries about potential tax hikes, causing a surge in the number of wealthy individuals transferring capital abroad and exploring expatriation options.
Wealth advisers have reported a significant rise in inquiries from clients about shielding their assets and potential relocation. Following Brexit, France saw an influx of high-earning bankers, but these individuals are now contemplating leaving due to the fear of increased taxes. Xenia Legendre, a Paris-based managing partner at Hogan Lovells law firm, noted that top executives are actively seeking ways to protect themselves financially.
The left-wing New Popular Front (NFP), which secured the most seats in the election, has proposed taxing the super profits of companies and reinstating a wealth tax on the rich. Such measures starkly contrast with the policies of President Emmanuel Macron, which have been more favorable to the wealthy, earning him the moniker "president of the rich."
According to Emmanuel Angelier, head of wealth management firm La Financiere d’Orion, the implementation of extreme policies could drive the wealthy out of France, making the country less attractive for foreigners and prompting the rich to leave. Julien Magitteri, a private wealth adviser at Barnes Family Office by Côme, revealed that some individuals started moving capital out of France even before the second round of voting, primarily to Switzerland and Luxembourg. Other popular destinations include Italy, Dubai, Singapore, and the US.
France is home to some of the world's richest people, such as Bernard Arnault, head of the luxury goods company LVMH; Francoise Bettencourt Meyers of the beauty empire L’Oréal; and the Wertheimer brothers of Chanel. With seven out of ten French citizens expressing dissatisfaction with the election results and the composition of the new National Assembly, concerns about the country becoming "ungovernable" are prevalent.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
