Effle

The dude lived the 70s/early 80s.

If he thinks he’s going to appease a base mad about Epstein by entering a foreign war that looks like a pretty obvious sham, I don’t think he understands his base well (or is getting terrible advice). That’s just another strike. *pun intended*

Can you add another post clarifying this issue more? It sounds like you’re saying adding a home port advantage through higher demand isn’t good for scale economies in manufacturing/services.

Overview - Threads API - Documentation - Meta for Developers You may use the Threads API to enable people to create and publish content on a person’s behalf on Threads, and to display those posts within your app solely to the person who created it.

It died when they let bots run amok despite literally having the ability to verify real humans from their Facebook history. It’s almost as bad a cesspool now as Twitter. The API is the bot gateway.

WTF happened to that guy? Wasn’t he generally respected for a bit? What happened to all these formerly sane people?

Hold my beer.

Imagine filing a lawsuit to avoid feeding hungry people with other people’s money.

Oh, but I’m sure he loves and cares about *you*.

We’re the same because hearing the word “illegals” sparks an emotional response.

Our differences reside in the why.

The law is wrong Bob.

He continues to punish Americans with inflation he refuses to take the pain to control. That’s the data.

The shareholder counteroffer should be to not file a lawsuit noting the violation of duties of loyalty and care with the ask of returning the xAI corporate opportunity as compensation.

These business owners are using the PPP loans to buy houses, to buy Teslas, to go on vacation. This is a really ugly program.

GOV: we really need to forgive these loans.

*ppp = 10 years of SNAP budget

Technology capital projects have been the largest beneficiary of what appears to be underpriced corporate credit risk—the same conditions we saw forming in prior periods like 1997-99 and 2005-7 and 2022. We know how these all ended, with 2022 less severe because fed let inflation run higher longer.

Ample evidence exists showing the relationship between risk appetite and monetary policy, even if we haven’t studied the transmission mechanisms sufficiently. Technology has just positioned itself through (often BS) narrative construction to be the biggest beneficiary of the risk taking.

My personal view is that the entire Fed hasn’t caught on to the fact that lower rates (and tight credit spreads from repeated risk bailouts) are fueling some of the labor displacement by enabling $1T in project financing (and an equity bubble kicker) for AI to do the work instead.

Entering an interesting monetary policy time where lower rates likely FIGHT the goal of maximum employment by enabling faster labor disrupting technical (*cough* AI) investments through both cheaper financing and elevated equity valuations….

Here at the moment and can confirm no one has left.

Threads isn’t far behind now.

Yeah. Ground. Didn’t really shop around but was surprised at the number.

Related, I just shipped a 6lb small box for like $45. That was $26 5 years ago, and fuel prices don’t explain it.

That was a divestiture, but more broadly, they’re doing what everyone is—jacking prices up as volumes fall. And the growth was still mostly international—not US.

We have an inflation problem helping corporate revenues. And yet we still want to cut rates. It’s punishing.

A rate cut this week into this GDP view and rebounding inflation is a convincing argument for everyone who believes 3% is the new 2%.

The secret to capitalism is to have government take equity stakes and lower interest rates into rising inflation.

Another person who thinks we have a “market economy.” Come on, now. The balance of evidence doesn’t support that conclusion.

So… a cut to 3-3/4 to 4% is clearly indicated here.

Finally, the 14th Amendment tried to avoid EXACTLY what’s happening now with party spirit running high...

Further, one of the reasons birthright citizenship was codified with the very high bar of a Constitutional Amendment was to clearly make it the law of the land. Want to end birthright citizenship? Pass a Constitutional Amendment.
