Love the charity events with team costumes that would raise more money if the team just donated the money they spent on costumes 👍👍

They didn't like the employment bit being added to their mandate and sometimes they need to be reminded 🤭

Target is a flexible control range of 1%–3% to actively seek maximum sustainable employment btw. Curious!

The problem with data centers is the *why*. So middle-aged men can cosplay as software "builders"?

Now that his big rates and currency trades are both shitting the bed you sure can see how Bessent didn’t make in the hedge fund world.

Seeing more and more people refer to the national budget balance, revenue position, etc. as "The fisk". Gotta categorically, unequivocally and relentlessly nip that Sorkinian cringe in the bud.

Just something to monitor: my dad was on zopliclone for a decade then had a psychotic break that was ultimately attributed to it (docs thought he had mad cow at first!). Specialists said doc should never have prescribed it that long. Got him 100% back after weaning him off. Everyone different obvi.

And like, if they wasted $400M on microchips that are used by the domestic auto industry okay that’s gonna needlessly generate a bunch of harmful inflation and shortages. But the same on a handful of obscure military trucks doesn’t. That analysis never enters the picture on public procurement.

Need to hire more front-line, senior staff to deal with it. Need to hire more in-house counsel, advocating counsel (was an FT column saying AI would lead to *more* demand for lawyers describing exactly this). More public funds. More socialising the downsides of America’s 👐 hyperscalers 👐

Biggest problem is most are well-crafted enough on surface they can't be dismissed out of hand by front-line and blocked from advancing through commissioners process, even though they fall apart under any informed scrutiny as being based on foreign law/non-binding authority/complete hallucinations.

AI a growing misery in tax authorities. Correspondence, disputes, appeals a mess. We've gone from a handful of well-known sovereign citizen cranks to universally empowering every taxpayer to dispute every assessment. Effort to formulate cohesive thought in an email used to dissuade most...

Sounding like i can go back to my usual coffee load (yay) and just bump the magnesium pill to the morning if i wanna get off the wild ride

Need two to get the ball moving, one when you get to work, one at 10:30, one to work up the energy for lunch obviously. One during lunch. One to aid digestion after lunch. And one to stave off the afternoon slump of course. I guess if we’re talking cups as a unit of measurement closer to 16.

yeah the fitness watches lie; i suspect even if it was actual REM it was poor quality and hence less vivid dreams to wake me up and grant recall
