Been staring at this for a while now and sort of losing perspective on it.

Does it work? I like the main idea but wondering if the copy could be better. Is it telling the right story?
Should it be more prose than bullet point?

Happy to hear ideas but what ever they are they need to be no longer than the characters in that block. So 427 characters.
Ball & Chain works, as you instantly think of the wife, the mind then goes to even when she’s in the wrong it’s not her fault just ask her & I don’t need google my wife knows everything 😉🤪

So a good analogy for China imo

I like it, and the message.

At first I thought you may be doing too much and you’re focus may be wavering away from us in particular…. Then opened your picture up and read it and I think you are doing a fantastic job Spike.

Also really liked when I opened Sam’s video link and immediately saw someone reply with your ‘Princess of Thieves’ work.

Keep up the great work, when shareholders pull together like this we immensely help our own struggle against these corrupt entities.

Don’t know what I could suggest to help really except to try and keep the focus on us…. Everyone has a different approach, mine of late has been to put the spotlight on THE VUKA GROUP who are organising the DRC MINING WEEK EVENTS. Mupande is closely linked with THE VUKA GROUP and I’m sure they don’t want potential investors hearing about our story.

My final thought on your latest work is ‘Excellent’…. I don’t think you need to change anything. The cuff links are a touch of pure class and brilliance!

Just my opinion 👍

Needs to include a URL to that video of the Chinese mine manager beating his local workers with a stick, and then them turning on him

Yeah I see what you mean. I think this is more of the broader issue, not necessarily intrinsic to us. Next one will get back to our story.

Good to build up a library of things we can chuck in to any conversation though.

Great work on this and great work on your previous ones.

One challenge with this one I see is that when you translate it into French, it may need someone who knows French to make sure the translation is good. We are obviously aware of the expression ball and chain, but sometimes expressions or figures of speech do not translate well when put through google translate etc.

Thanks for all the work you have been putting in.

Yeah that did occur to me.

What I've been doing is using ChatGPT to help with translation then I put it back through google translate then back through ChatGPT and make any necessary tweaks. With things like idioms are adages I normally discuss it with ChatGPT to explore other possible pathways. Happy to have those that know or speak French to weigh in.

So if any significant breakthroughs had occurred they would have been announced previously. So tomorrow just another extension and assurance that we are in negotiations with the highest level of competent governance. No need to cause ourselves unnecessary anxiety. Good luck to all!
Edit: Great work Spike. The corrupt individuals would be spitting blood every time they read one of your posters.

It’s fucking nuts that Shareholders have to do this but wow it’s getting some eyes 👀 on Twitter.

AVZ should be doing this shit not the shareholders….

I really hope BOD AVZ invite/compensate/gift fuck anything to the few that have set this anti corruption campaign up in the push to try get some shit happening FFS…

I mean what’s a few freebies hey BOD ?

You randoms are willing to fight for the company & the people of the DRC Free of charge….

People power matters & It’s great to see 👍

Crazy times & I really hope the BOD acknowledges the dedication some put in…

Ok so this is what I've got for French.

It translates to Belt and Road, or Belt and Burden?

That's from me tonight. I will put these in the Assets folder for the keyboard Army to restock.

The Council of Ministers this past weekend had awarded the contract to AVZ, have a glass of water.

Huh?

Sounds too good to be true. Just on the off chance that this guy is not a total shit talker...did anyone watch/review minutes of the latest council of ministers?

Do you know that mine manager got a prison sentence for that criminal act. In court he apologised for his actions.

I’m sure they are doing something, just no good at letting us shareholders know what the actual fuck that is….

Fuck does Nige need help with a FOR SALE SIGN Or something FFS….

Spike and some others could have this fucka sold in 1 week IMO…..

BOD Sleeping well on a pillow top mattress while some are renting out Hyundai excel back seats out the back of a farm and trying not to get shot at during the drunken nights….. (Tiny exaggeration)
