😷💉 1/ Thread on calling Covid 🐂💩 (that's an emoji of bull and shit in case you dunno) I recognized China and CCP as a leading indicator of where we were going. We had a different route but same destination
It was stunning to see so many supposedly freedom loving people reflexively and eagerly cheering lockdowns. These are some of the few who saw through the bullshit and objected from the start: @julie_kelly2 @Barnes_Law @arabbitorduck @hyonschu @adamscrabble @C4CEO @JordanSchachtel
Dunno, it seems like the new car is already on the road? Lotsa questions and should be good call in 60minutes.
Rumor is for a cheaper model than 3, no?
couple of minutes left to think more about my tsla hedge, dunno. tough call
Rand Paul is just doing this to feed subplots into the spectacle machine
they're going to cause mass mob violence if they keep promising these things or teasing these things and then nothing happens haha or it'll cause them to really ramp things up. if no one cares about the tweets or statements, maybe someone will care if handcuffs come out. If no…
Pro tip, if you want to prosecute someone with extensive criminality, dont prosecute them for the crimes covered by a pardon? Thanks for coming to my TED talk
🎭 It's political theater. There are so many 'easy to get a conviction on' things that Fauci & Associates Inc., could be investigated and prosecuted for, yet somehow "gain-of-function" is the best we could do? Cmon, lol 🗓️ Rand Paul formally requested an investigation in 2023…

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!
🍷 This chat with @LeeSmithDC aged so well
🍿🥤 Flashback to our chat with @LeeSmithDC author of 📚 Disappearing the President: Trump, Truth Social, and the Fight for the Republic and The Plot Against the President It was a lifetime ago, February 5th, 2021 👀 Watch it and lemme know what you think 🤔
"Opposing today’s modest, well-justified spending reforms only makes it harder to build support for the far larger, more politically sensitive structural changes that will be needed tomorrow." Full post here: concordaction.org/news/us-fiscal…
Just went through the numbers on Tech layoffs and it’s so much worse than you can imagine. 75,000 jobs cut year to date, close to 40% increase YoY from an already sky-high number in 2024. Meanwhile H-1B petitions hit the yearly cap in 6 months and 82% of all new tech jobs have…
Large tech companies dont want to hold an inventory of high wage w2 employees anymore = improve shareholder return, reduce legislative risk/volatility for new taxes/compliance. Cali is very employEE friendly, hostile to employERS. This is a rare opportunity to shed employees
My prediction is that little by little "Full time employee" positions will be slashed until the only people holding on to them are upper management Temp contract work for everybody else, hurrah
Techs will be doing massive #s of layoff rounds (very) soon as a lever to improve earnings/shareholder equity as their margins are compressing. When you're operating a public company you know you can always make that cut. Its like a rainy day fund.
Way off Companies have fiduciary obligation to improve shareholder return Co's would get sued by activist shareholders, etc, if they restaffed W2 beyond anything absolutely essential to revenue. Do you overpay the IRS?
I agree with draining the pool of unproductive and have helped participate in this, my rule of thumb was always 10% though, crossing the 20% threshold starts to cut people who are net profitable. Is my rule of thumb off?
