Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 24/06/2026Childhood is the time when you believe that as an adult, you will have some small control of your own life and destiny. Adulthood is the realization that only the very wealthy get to have that. 000

Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 01/04/2026April Fool's Day was fun back when it was unusual for crazy things to happen in the news every day. If I encounter an April Fool's joke today, I will probably think it's a real thing that happened, but will ignore it, because that's what I do with crazy news stories about things I can't change. 000
Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 18/12/2025Last night I dreamed I was in the elevator at work, and the doors opened at the second floor. Crazy, right? In my experience, the elevator commonly stops set the first, third, and fourth floors. I’ve never seen it stop at the second floor. I’ve never met anyone who works on the second floor. 000

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. 427203616882

Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 04/07/2025The Founding Fathers worked to establish a country that would be free of oppression and tyranny.

Reposted by JeffHank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · 07/04/2025A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero. 10706253812920
Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 04/04/2025Why use tariffs to balance the trade deficit? There's a much simpler solution: switch to a 100% barter economy. If you buy an iphone, you have a $900 trade deficit. But if you trade the 1500 pounds of potatoes you grew in your garden for an iphone, your trade deficit is balanced. 000

Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 27/11/2024They're called "skeets"?! Really? As far as I'm concerned, the term "tweet" entered the public domain when Elon decided the company formerly known as Twitter should be called "X". I'm going to continue calling these sort of posts "tweets", regardless of the platform being used. 000
Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 26/11/2024After exporting all of my tweets, twitter sent me an e-mail telling me they are ready to download. The e-mail contains a link. After clicking the link, I am asked to verify my identity via a code sent by e-mail. It seems like those steps could have been consolidated. 000
Jeff @lutkus.bsky.social · 26/11/2024All of my posts before this one were exported from my twitter account. If any of them don't make sense anymore, that must be because the timestamp has been lost. Either that, or they never made sense, which is probably more likely. 010
