@kimberlyadams.bsky.social This week's MMS deep dive on "running like the government like a business" was pretty good. However, it missed the opportunity to point out that, unlike a business, the federal government issues the Dollar. That makes it fundamentally different. #MMT @marketplace.org

I've been tracking a discussion about engineering issues with @spacex.extwitter.link Starship. Every time I hear this I think of Starship, I hear some opening chords, then Grace Slick somes in with... "We built this shitty, We built this shitty, so it explodes." www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1b8...

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

I’m quite sensitive to noise. Ask my wife. She will tell you it’s one of my more annoying traits. While she is impervious to a TV blaring, if it’s too loud I become agitated. If it’s much too loud I start to feel claustrophobic. www.mgraves.org/2025/03/a-qu...

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

Have you noticed how awful shopping in brick-and-mortar stores has become? Shelves are empty at pharmacies. At Target, many items are locked behind cases, requiring an employee just to browse. It's frustrating—but have you wondered why this is happening? 1/11
