No more Net Neutrality means broadband providers can charge more for premium speeds. But guess what? Netflix isn’t paying extra, and Comcast isn’t risking customer rage by slowing it down. https://buff.ly/4aKJvkr

Without Net Neutrality, broadband giants hold the cards. But do they? Netflix, TikTok, and Google are too powerful to be throttled. The real business fight isn’t speed—it’s subscriptions. https://buff.ly/4aKJvkr

Net Neutrality is dead. Broadband providers can now throttle, charge premiums, and favor their content. But here’s the twist: it doesn’t really matter. The market moved on. https://buff.ly/4aKJvkr

The real trick to getting away with the “wrong” thing? Process. Thrash—chaotic, knee-jerk decision-making—destroys even the best-laid plans. Trump’s team ignores this. The result? A legal mess instead of a strategic takeover. Want to win? Master process, not chaos.

Net Neutrality wasn’t killed by Comcast or Verizon—it was a NJ fishing company’s lawsuit. SCOTUS used a tiny case to make a massive change. The real game is always hidden. https://buff.ly/4aKJvkr

Loper Bright Enterprises fought a $700/day fishing fee. They won—and took Net Neutrality down with them. The Supreme Court’s decision weakens all federal agency power. Read how: https://buff.ly/4aKJvkr

Net Neutrality is dead—not because of broadband giants, but thanks to a small NJ fishing company. SCOTUS used their case to gut agency power, impacting the FCC’s rules. Welcome to impact litigation 101.

Bitcoin’s biggest threat isn’t regulation—it’s centralization through adoption by the very institutions it was meant to resist. The future of Bitcoin is here, and it’s not what was promised. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

If this was really about working class New Yorkers then they would be offering $15B to fix mass transit. This is about sacrificing strong policy for weak rhetoric.

The crypto revolution is over. Bitcoin didn’t get regulated—it got absorbed. Governments hold it, institutions shape its price, and the promise of decentralization is fading. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoin was built to resist government control. Now, governments are controlling it—not through laws, but by buying it. Centralization through ownership. Read more: https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoin is worth $1.8 trillion. But it produces nothing—just stores value. What happens when the most valuable assets don’t build anything? The future feels unstable. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoiners rejected ‘proof of stake’ for fear of centralization. But they’re fine with governments holding Bitcoin, manipulating its value. Decentralization? Not so much. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Remote work is on trial, and the government is fumbling the case. While companies fine-tune hybrid models, Trump’s administration is using blunt-force policy. 🔗 Read: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

The federal government has owned Freddie & Fannie since 2008. Trump wants to hand them over to Wall Street. We know how this ends. 📖 https://buff.ly/4gfdKSw

Bitcoin isn’t going anywhere. But its revolutionary spirit? That’s fading fast as powerful institutions buy in. Decentralization was the dream—but centralization is the reality. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Want to get employees back in the office? Here’s what actually works. Hint: It’s not a weirdly worded mass email. 🔗 Best practices: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

No one’s regulating Bitcoin. They don’t need to. Governments are taming it by holding it, controlling the price indirectly. The ‘decentralized revolution’ is quietly slipping away. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoiners fear regulation. But the real control comes from governments buying Bitcoin, subtly influencing its price. Decentralization? Maybe in theory. Read the full story: https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoin was supposed to be decentralized. Now it’s a $1.8 trillion asset, increasingly controlled by governments who don’t even need to regulate it to influence it. The irony is staggering. https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Crypto’s latest boom is quieter. No NFTs, no DAOs, no SBF scandals. But Bitcoin? Stronger than ever—because governments now hold it. Centralization won. Read how: https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

Bitcoin won. But at what cost? Its anti-establishment roots are fading as governments hold Bitcoin, controlling its price without regulation. Is this still a revolution, or just another asset? https://buff.ly/4iPUKvu

The U.S. legal system depends on legitimacy. Once everyone believes it’s just another political tool, what’s left? 🔗 Big implications here: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

Congress was designed to be a check on executive power. Right now, it’s rolling over. What happens when legislators stop legislating? 🔗 Read more: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

Same kid Musk had in the Oval Office this week. Musk tries to prove he is not an antisemite in the same way he tried to prove he is not a grifter. Watch what he does, not what he shows you. Hat tip @pivotpod.bsky.social

ChatGPT on an image of "a black man sitting on the lap of a orange haired older white man. The black man should look like a dog" to depict the Trump/Adams relationship: "I can't create that image as it depicts real individuals in a demeaning or politically charged manner. " The truth hurts, AI.

I suspect we’re going to find central justice staffed by the dregs of the Federalist Society in a few weeks because sans Trump they can’t find jobs and have no principals.

Bitcoin’s ‘decentralization’ was the promise. But now? Governments are holding it, influencing it—without even regulating it. The revolution is being tamed from the inside. Read more:

Public corruption cases fail because SCOTUS says the feds can’t police local grift. Apparently, it’s up to local prosecutors—aka the foxes guarding the henhouse. Read about the real legal problem:https://buff.ly/4aFYxI9

Want to “rightsize” the workforce? There’s a legal way to do it. A messy, confusing government email isn’t it. Why this matters for businesses and democracy. 🔗 Learn more: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

The Snyder case: $1.1 million contract, $13,000 ‘consulting’ fee. Obvious corruption, right? Not according to SCOTUS. It’s not a bribe—it’s a gratuity. When the law protects grifters, we’re in trouble. https://buff.ly/4aFYxI9

The Supreme Court made it harder to prosecute public corruption. Bribes? Bad. Gratuities? Apparently fine. The foxes are guarding the henhouse—but there are still a few fox catchers left. Read more: https://buff.ly/4aFYxI9

No competent company announces a RIF before actually doing it. The Trump administration did. Was it a mistake, or just a way to instill fear and confusion? 🔗 Read the analysis: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

This email wasn’t a layoff, a firing, or even a serious workforce reduction plan. It was a poorly written threat with no legal teeth. How do businesses handle workforce cuts effectively? 🔗 Lessons here: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

Public corruption used to be simple: take money, go to jail. But the Supreme Court decided bribes are bad, gratuities are cool. If that sounds absurd, welcome to U.S. anti-corruption law. Read more: https://buff.ly/4aFYxI9

Trump wants to change the 14th Amendment—but not the part that matters. Section 3 was designed to stop people like him: oath-breakers who engage in insurrection. The founders gave us the tool. Use it: https://buff.ly/42BOUbk

Birthright citizenship isn’t the 14th Amendment’s most powerful clause. Section 3 is. It bans insurrectionists from holding office. Trump’s already crossed that line—we just haven’t enforced it. Yet. https://buff.ly/42BOUbk

Trump’s busy trying to undo birthright citizenship. But Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is already written to undo him. It bans insurrectionists from office. History saw this coming. Time to enforce it: https://buff.ly/42BOUbk

Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) are how you get rid of “underperformers.” Trump’s team could have forced federal employees to shape up or ship out. Instead, they offered… a deferred resignation? 🤨 🔗 Read why this won’t work: https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi

Scott Turner for HUD Secretary? A former NFL player and motivational speaker? Trump and the GOP aren’t even pretending to care about the housing crisis. 🏈🤦 📖 https://buff.ly/4gfdKSw

Trump fears birthright citizenship. He should fear Section 3 of the 14th Amendment—the part that bans insurrectionists from office. The Constitution doesn’t need to change. We just need to enforce it: https://buff.ly/42BOUbk

The 14th Amendment wasn’t written for immigrants—it was written for insurrectionists. Section 3 bans them from office. Trump’s not the first traitor in U.S. history. We’ve dealt with this before. Read how: https://buff.ly/42BOUbk

We’re only two weeks into Trump II, and the rulebook is already being shredded. From USAID closures to mass purges in law enforcement, this isn’t business as usual. Where does this end?

Firing government employees isn’t hard—if you know how to do it. Instead of doing a proper reduction in force (RIF), Trump’s team sent an incoherent email. Are they incompetent, or is this chaos-by-design? https://buff.ly/3WPAEbi
