Whatever happen to the "talking point" that people are [now] just dropping out of the job market entirely? Remember in '22 GOP chant: "unemployment is much larger than reported cause people are leaving!"? It's still happening, and more so today.

every leader now knows the 'taco maneuver'
step 1: say that "you're interested in a deal".
step 2: do nothing, "watch the show"
step 3: maybe send a VP-level rep for a dinner w/Bessett or Rubio (if it's economic vs military), otherwise send a gift.
step 4: continue your plans as normal

what's the bigger picture iinvoking the Act? Hmm. Learnings from J6 to exploit? What's ironic w/this whole situation is that the protests were a reaction to the planned mass raids this week where most people at risk: pay sales taxes, state and even some federal taxes whether or not they are 'legal'.

@briansully.bsky.social the cable model has been in development the late 70s. It works and hence why streaming is heading back to "the cable model" (bundle).
I recall NAB 2016-18 when the chatter that the cable model was profitting 0.62 on the dollar where as streaming was 0.33. Hmmm.

Let me guess, payments into the crypto reserve aka donnie's meme coin?
Now, they could be explicit and just fine if it's "every kid gets a $1000 US Bond", which is similar to WWII. Instead it's vague, where does the cash sit? markets, crypto, escrow managed by those businesses?

Whoa, Ms. Brin siding with Taco instead of her shining knight Musk. Now that's going full maga.

"We don't want to harm", meaning...
"We just want our monthly cut (50 million sound right?). On time every month. Deposited into $trmp coin of course"
The term "gangsta" come to mind.

Belittling, yelling at congressmen to pass a bill? Yup, daddy issues.

@briansully.bsky.social people will buy a $1100 phone. Sony phones are ultrapremium in quality (sans crap camera s/w) start at $1400 (having owned 3 gens). The problem is haters & price go hand in hand: higher price demands more value and opinions.
your poll must have broke X, network issues there.

Now we're demonizing "blue state republicans/magas" and talking "the ultimate betrayal" & "trust me".
Instead of if it is the right bill, the best benefits, the pros and cons. Aside from having a meme stock market, we now have a meme gov't [politics].

People learn? Or are convinced thru the media, politicians, peers (social)?
Hence why gaslighting is a powerful tool. Chemtrail concentration must be high today.

He's got the data, he's got the access, mission accomplished. No need to waste more cash.
And @cnbc.com sending 🥰 to him the last 5 mins that I thought I was watching LIfetimeTV. Sheesh guys.

it's 9pm in Russia, should the call be over by now?
And didn't JD (and Rubio) says the US would "walk away within the week", 3 weeks ago?

90% of the parts for used cars are made overseas. No US 'manufacturers' wants to build used car parts cause margins are low mind that the 25yr cycle. Will hit the used car market hard.
Also @cnbc.com stop with the "big beautiful bill" call outs? It's not and you're guilty of spreading propaganda.

Let me guess, Comey was having lunch with foreign born Barry at Cosmic pizza, got a text from Zuck while deleting FB messages he didn't like, found a pic of these seashells that we're uploaded by Hunter off his laptop.
And maga has a metldown, investigations and respond w/ "J6 was fake."
Yeah.

This follows Donnie's persona as a used car salesmen. Everything's for sale [and computer] with a depreciating asset (US?), lies/deceit to close a deal, overpriced to pocket the profits. The country has become no diff from a used car.

Did ceo say: crypto is now permanently in the markets.
What was a hash to track transactions anonymously & prevent money printing is now a decentralized quid pro quo store of value.

29.99/month is cable prices. And we know ESPN+ runs on the exact same servers (farm) as the other 3 services.

Well that's the basis of the AI deal w/SA. SA's goal is to create a sphere of influence, mind that possibly plant a leader in that country.
@cnbc.com Did we just see Kelly having another so soon? 🥰

Pendleton Act enter the chat, then got sacked considering the emoluments clause was sacked years ago.
It's always been about [personal] money.

This meeting to talk about concepts and start a framework of a deal. But instead has become a reality TV show. 'High stakes' to just identify the intentions: will Bessett get a rose? cue in the dramatic music.
photo op of US & Swiss delegations. Is China even showing up?

Will do as much business as the WB park already there. Uni will follow after spin off.
This is more of a smoke & mirrors IP deal and keeping Dis park designers skills sharp: there hasn't been any big construction in the last 7 years except for EuroDis/China--both decreasing attendance.

Fed is saying: "we're not going to lead this, that's the person YOU voted for, lol."
Also on Gundlach: again using falsehoods again on the CA high speed rail (not light rail, lol)--track has been laid down. Quite a bit. But agree this admin has pushed us pass the brink: austerity is coming.

UAE reseort with be Aulani 2.0 and not a full park when all is said and done. Expect a lot of turmoil between Imagineers and Miral creatives, cough, checkbook signers. Expect DisneyQuest 2.0 but as a full resort.
Both are wins: Dis needs work for parks employees, UAE needs a counter SA's The Line.

Anyone know what company was the focus on "I know a big company building a big hi tech building, biggest investment"?It's like I just wasted 10mins on watching a infomercial or that commercial about 'The Most Exciting Human Discovery Since Fire'

The gas lighting is strong in this one. Remember, it's the go-to tactic of this administration.
Say it enough and maybe China tiktok will believe it?

Also anti DEI means pro WASP, hands down.
What's even funnier is the movie tariff. It appears the admin came up with the idea before talking to any studio heads/MBA/unions/execs, mind that none of the studio execs visited maralogo like the techbros. Revenge play?
comment in response to

So many predictions today. I mean Gerstner's techbro VC optimism that every [US] CEO is great, justified and planned (incl the potus) is off the charts today. No one can do any wrong, especially given unlimited time, like the markets?

@briansully.bsky.social NYC, SF, CHI, LA, Austin, Omaha...they *are* America. That's 75% of the population. Just because the heartland has... lots of land, the majority of people, consumers [,voters] live in the big cities. Heck, less TSLA owners in the state of Kentucky than just Brooklyn.

Probably got that number entering receipts into ChatGPT.
Good chance the real # is less than that. (90mil).

Pete love negative growth?
WTH @cnbc.com now using political almanac guys giving stock tea leaf readings? The carpet baggers have entered the chat? The numbers don't lie: growth is negative, momentum at a crawl (good as it's NOT negative)...and hear comes the spending bill.

The modern financial system is broken, and yet the US is the biggest, strongest economy ever and has record growth over the last 30 years. I'm sure he can provide one concrete point the system is broken?
Is he trying to say the US Economy is TSLA? misses big on ERs and rewarded with stock up 10%?

Please bring up all of Donnie's comments of fixing things day one, short term "Pain", doing changes 'fast and furious'. lower gas prices, eggs, bread day one, ending wars day one....
*so many comments* back in Aug-Dec 2024.
today, he's still blaming Biden and we're knuckle dragging the economy.

Whoa, Dan Nathan setting reality straight.
Conclusion: little progress next 3 months. Admin gonna do what they want (agenda) and like a normal business will succeed at some but fail at... a lot. Agree or not, hands down: it just puts more risk in the system.

Correct, any other company is a startup and more interested in their stock price. Considering Trump admin thinks miners will flock to the US w/no regs and ravage the land...not.
In other news @cnbc.com , no more Bryn: we get it, blind faith in Elon & Donnie for her. But negative returns for us.

Production?
It's in production? LOL. You might as well post a headline: "SpaceX delays Mars mission due to no tech to get there"

Sorry, did Bessett just push some racial sarcasm about "I don't know about the Chinese culture, but this is not funny?"
Yo, that's a typical "those people" reference. It appears he's jumping on the maga train. He needs to chill, it's just business He's likely behind his 90 deal 90 day schedule.

That's fine, but the reason question should be: what will corporations replace these with (possibly something more toxic?)
Identifying the problem is easy. Providing a working solution/replacement...much, much harder.

Ives: this is all about brand "destruction and can be fixed". Dude, the reason it is up +1% in AH is because of it's brand (aka no destruction).

coin, gold, monetary classes are the normal flight to safety: that flight is happening.
as for 1000 pump today, look at the volume tells the real story.

It's not an equity buyer's strike. It's uncertain policy mind ineffective policy.
we have a potus, whom had many justifications for his moves last few weeks, now focus using one justification: "I'm right, you're wrong, it's proven." 🤪
(we know this is about getting China out of our bonds)

1 wk later, Bill still doesn't realize he's got advantages over others like Gov. Whitmer in criticizing & putting demands on potus & to his face. Just say it has to do with DNA and skin color...
Being a media wonk, buds with KidRock and a bro-cast like show is just icing for a friendly meeting.
comment in response to
post
Just watched, good report, "no conclusion" as much as Bill tries. He still doesn't know if he met a potus putting on an act vs the real person. He met someone that doesn't care, cause I never the response: "Bill, that's a good idea".
Bill, you got gaslit. It's their weapon of choice.

Will happen as it'll allow EU to deleverage 100% from Russia. Con is it's kicking the can down the road as China will offer the same scenario within the next decade.
fyi, COBE interview was off the rails.

Did a show panel member just say the presser right now is potus talking to main street? Main street doesn't understand TPS reports.
That's corporate transparency BS, not main street straight talk, lol.

Ms. Talkington needs to stop the "this is all for the middle class"... Trump put confirmed, just eat it and let the market tell potus that the hard-line strategy doesn't working. Sure, some of the ideas are just fine, but timing is bad & forced making markets like crypto: no thanks.

Some are now saying that volume spike was result of the bond auction, which was good. But does ask, who took the risk to vacuum up bonds in the auction when the yield was high last 24hrs.
