    One of our 15-year-old students at Tiossan Academy (my school in Senegal) decided to stop waiting for permission and built a tool for all of us. Go to africastupidlaws(dot)org right now. It’s a simple place to submit the most ridiculous, business-killing laws in your country.

    Come to Dakar and you’ll see very clearly where your aid money goes. So many of the foreign residents you see in Dakar are either working for the UN, an NGO, or an embassy. Most are living lives of fine dining, with nice cars, large apartments, maids and constant parties.

    In 1960, Zimbabwe was 4.6x richer than Botswana.  Then Zimbabwe went full socialism: land grabs, money printing, and a series of “government knows best” policies. Botswana embraced property rights and free markets.  By 2011, the average Motswana was 6x richer than the average
