15% global tariff? Guess all those “trade deals” evaporated as quickly as we thought they would!

Why is tech hiring still slow? I argue it's for marketing and political reasons: lest-we-forget.ghost.io/tech-firings...

Tech Firings Are About Narrative, Not Efficiency
Initial tech layoffs were driven in part by legitimate concerns about efficiency. Starting in 2020, tech companies starting hiring more. A lot more. Too much, by some accounts. And there was very litt...

Okay what is this BS cap?? It’s just a corporate giveway for the first few units while still protecting local industries at the expense of the consumer. We need a law that tariffs must be FLAT, not dependent on number of units.

Why are we chasing ICE with cars instead of following and recording them with drones? I definitely support all recording efforts but it seems like drones are superior, they are much more replaceable than a person if ICE starts shooting. Do we need martyrs to make America wake up?

I mean I’m pretty sure this headline could be written about any project anywhere just subbing in a different group If they’re legally challenging to get the land transferred to them that’s one thing I guess. But then shouldn’t that be the headline?

The cure for this is to convince Republicans that public roads are socialist and convince Trump he can make money by selling the freeway system. Private railroads made rural people progressive :)

Rolling out self driving could actually be bad for Tesla if it creates bad press, plus Uber and Lyft have been encouraging drivers to buy Teslas - wonder how long that program will last

Honestly we gotta back this guy. I used to lowkey hate him cuz I thought he was fake, but in reality he’s one of the few actually fixing the DNC’s systemic issues. If we don’t win this fight, I don’t see how we can fix the DNC

Absolutely nuts that both the UK and America are turning against our universities at the same time. We are the top two university systems in the world by many metrics!

I'm honestly not sure how to identify or create the class of Dems we need for this moment. I like that a lot of Democrats are getting primaried, but can we trust the newcomers? I'm a bit jaded from Sinema and Fetterman.

The easiest way to understand billionaires is they read sci-fi and fantasy novels and said to themselves “an evil genius who controls the world through deception? Goals, am I right folks?” Whether Lex Luthor or Sauron, they saw themselves in the villain.

How is uncertainty not hitting markets harder? Stocks back to where they were, unemployment steady. Only thing that seems to be taking a hit is T-bills and the dollar. #stocks

Amazing that these people saw Trump completely back down with negative to show for it, while STILL inducing uncertainty with random tariffs above the promised 30% and a promise to adjust rates in the future, and said “ah yes, stable governance is back.”

It’s weird that Trump seems to have hurt every single non-Liberal party more than the Conservatives. I guess it’s easier to convince someone “switch to the majority party to show a strong face” than “switch from Conservatives to Liberals”?

How did Labour just become Republicans Usually when someone says “both sides are the same” I think it’s an exaggeration, but…I’m legitimately confused how Labour isn’t just Tories now

I’m increasingly convinced of the Manichaean notion that hell is earth, simply a place for cursed souls to be reincarnated again and again until they are purified enough to break the cycle of rebirth

mycroftsthoughts.bsky.social @mycroftsthoughts.bsky.social · 16/04/2025
This is an insane stat, but it does highlight something I’ve long argued: the narrative that “the birthrate dropped because people became richer” makes a lot of sense until you start digging into the details!

This. The whole thread. People’s perception of Harris’ policies were completely divorced from the actual candidate. Most people just saw “Black Woman from California” and that was it, she’s extreme

Everywhere you turn, Trump is upending things. He's laying people off, spiking inflation, creating uncertainty, deporting people, taking away people's medicine. He's forcing you to watch him. If nothing else, Trumpism shows the world that we cannot be passive in politics and expect good things.

The year is 2030. Tariffs are 25% across the board except for the million percent tariff on China. Nobody cares because the world stopped trading with America long ago. You live in a cardboard shack

I used to think the Democratic Party should moderate in order to win elections. I thought Trump was super dangerous and moderate politicians had a better chance of winning. But Trump proved my theory totally wrong. He moved far to the right over the past decade and no one changed their opinions.

It will always be funny that Curtis Yarvin asked the question “Why does every smart person think my ideas are dumb?” and answered “Clearly, they are being FORCED to disagree with me via The Cathedral, a term I invented based on nothing!” instead of “Because I’m an idiot.”

The funny thing is: If Trump really wanted Canada, he could have just waited for Conservatives ro win a supermajority and then buy their votes to join the US, like Britain did with Scotland. Instead, he’s pissing Canada off with bluster.

Musk wants to replace your job with AI and kick you off the welfare rolls. What are you going to eat then? He just illegally kicked millions off USAID. You’re next unless you act.
