Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 27/05/2025He is jealous of King Charles. Also, Americans should notice a change in the Presidents attire. He now wears mainly purple ties and not his signature red. Purple is regal, king like colour's. The Saudis poured on the purple too.king.like 1101 10

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 17/05/2025I think its now becoming clearer why Phil Verster left. His strength was running a railway not building one. That and Metrolinx has a deep culture of "this is how WE do it" its not surprising. 160 6

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 26/03/2025Elon probably showed them how to use Signal and said this is way more secure than your high side email and phone. The fact that so many administration leaders where on the chat shows a coordinated use of Signal to avoid record retention laws while trying to be secure. Their "tech support" failed. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 22/03/2025Howard the Duck is going to be in trouble with his boss. Rumor has it 47 is tiring of his appearances that get out ahead of him, or are contradictory to what is actually going to happen. Whike Howies mom wouldn't call, 1M others would.

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 21/03/2025Bukele took over El Salvador. Same as Trump is doing in the US.

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025This is not 1965! Manufacturing moved due to labor costs. Today work is shifting from China to Africa since manual labour is cheaper there. A new toothbrush factory will have 10 people, not 500. The machines do the work. If it did employ 500 people toothbrushes would be 5$ not 5 ea cents to make. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025That's what I said lol I was using the Trudeau fact to make a point. Just because someone posts some data and realities does not make them a Trump supporter. The reality is we are still allies with the US. Canada's measures are designed to inflict as little pain as possible on the average American. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025We already do. It's complicated as Mexico is more dependent on the US than Canada. Mexico makes more consumer goods and cars than Canada too. Finished goods is the question. Last time if it had foreign steel, tariff was applied. This affects Canadian specialty makers, aka hvac, radiators, etc. 110 1
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025The effects of the last steel and aluminum tariffs caused an additional 1.5% inflation in the US with tariffs at 15%. So expect inflation to rise at least 5% in the US assuming 2% GDP growth. 120 2
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025Your going to struggle since your President insists on acting like its 1925. This same behavior triggered the Great Depression. Unregulated stock market run up combined with steep tariffs crushed the economy. Same is happening here. Not a Trump supporter. Not sure how you get that. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025Not a Trumper lol Trying to be more transparent than some of the stories you here as a sound bite. 30% of Americans believe Trudeau started the trade war. Enough said. 110 1
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025BTW for my American friends, the 25% electricity cost increase is a nothing burger. Ontario produces too much power due to nuclear not having off ramp capacity. The US states get electricity for free at negative rates. 0 at 25% is still 0. Shutting it off only affects backup and surge capability. 210 2
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025Can someone educate 47 and Howie? The US imports 40% of its aluminum from Canada, because of electricity costs and supply issues. The US cannot smelt aluminum on its own. Steel is spot market. 50% tariff just raises prices 50%. The reason is capitalism. All this is doing is raising inflation. 2102 10
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025The Democrats keep acting as the party of failure. Why? They insist on playing victim. Kamala lost. Get over it. Now you have to find the way to be the party of opposition and obstruction. You need to hold Republicans to what goes around comes around. Yelling at clouds needs to stop. 1131 13
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 11/03/2025The Democrats need to do whatever Mitch McConnell would do in the same situation. No one will remember a 2 week government shutdown that ultimately harms DOGE. They will remember the lost year of the stock market, more expensive cost of living, and no deep government agents to blame.no.one 040 4
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 27/02/2025They are avenging the 2017 Lost Year, where Republicans in Congress failed to pass any of Trumps initiatives. Expect more harder before September. Don't be surprised if Greenland is invaded. Expect unitary executive theory to play a key role. Less Congress involvement. Expect Elon, everywhere. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20257/Generally speaking the younger you are the more.liberal the view. Older with more resource/money at stake are typically conservative.

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20256/Try surviving pre 1900 in any small town with no electricity or running water. Everyone helps everybody. It's the base of community and civil service. The masculine fight behavior coupled with loneliness is going to make the generational gap worse. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20255/So that new generation feels less off and does not like the status quo. More likely to buyin that its someone else's problem and only masculine fight back is the only way forward. This is why AndrewTate and Trump appeal. It's core is loneliness. Loneliness breeds extremism anti social behavior. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20254/Those opportunities are now lost. Skills of the new generation are different. They are not interested in 9 to 5 but experiences and the best life. Largely driven by status as lack of generational wealth has them attention seeking on social media. Perception is others took their chances. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20253/While you still can.buold wealth, its impossible to build wealth as easily. For example if you had natural skills at building and loved working with metal, aka tool and die. You could build a business selling to.others locally. Now you cannot. 15c per die vs 1c per die in China. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 23/02/20252/Since the baby boomers wealth and prosperity is in decline. Inflation, coupled with global access to talent has made traditional opportunities for wealth building slowly start to disappear.

Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 22/02/2025Agree with you, RIF is just what it is. On probationary though, its not the common definition. In the public mind it assumes brand new, not tenured, which is misleading. 010 1
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 22/02/20252/So many career staff are getting caught up due to career change and promotion. This will damage agencies and departments as the loss of internal knowledge will impact the work. It's affecting many Republican voters in government who thought they where safe. 120 2
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 22/02/20251/What's largely under reported here by NYT and others is probationary in the government is not what it is for regular jobs. Probationary means anyone who has changed positions for less than a year. Promotions, reassignment, secondments all count as probationary not just being newly hired. 141 4
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 20/02/2025I've said before, I'll say it again. FEC is gone as soon as Humphrey's Exrcutor is overturned fully by SCOTUS. They will find some kind d of "corruption" and call it done. DJT will run as VP since the "people" want him. Anti Federalists of 1789 where right, a President could act like a king. 010 1
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 17/02/2025The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, enacted on December 22, 2023, prohibits the President from unilaterally withdrawing from NATO without approval of a two-third Senate super-majority or an act of Congress. 000 0
Thomas @thomas.itinthedatacenter.com · 13/02/2025Once SCOTUS scraps Humphrey's Executor, the Electoral Commission is the next independent agency to be DOGEd. Will to bet that they find "corruption" and need to terminate most of the Electoral Commission. Donald will then run as VP with one of his sons the next GOP presidential candidate. 182 8
