Question for magas: What if Elon slashes federal spending with the same speed and effectiveness as he achieved with the Boring Co and hyperloop projects? ie. very very slowly.

#BrexitReality How will they manage to post-hoc-ergo-propter-hoc this one to Brexit? Also, UK trains are now more punctual than German ones! www.ft.com/content/bdba...

Trump's foreign policy now seems likely to be so disastrous that the neocons will come roaring back, whether as Democrats or Republicans. Toppling the Iranian govt will still be on the menu because Trump simply won't do it, or even help the dissidents.

At this rate the US will be a medium league economy, like Brazil today, because India, China and the European bloc will all EACH exceed it, and it will be without friends.

I think supporting the murder of anyone (politically motivated or not], as Luigi is alleged to have done is a bad precedent. But until someone is found guilty by a court, they are not "a murderer." and per journalistic ethics [a real thing] I will not refer to a defendant as such.

One of the stupidest things Trump could do is let Russia have Ukraine's minerals, which it can then use to rejuvenate its economy by selling them to China, thus turning China into an even bigger superpower that will threaten US dominance in the Pacific. Future presidents will regret his decisions.

We should consider the possibility that when Trump and Musk call Zelenskyy a dictator, it is a term of approval. Minerals deal brewing?

Don't like the way Trump is tearing up rules, agencies, norms? Neither do I, but it's exactly that kind of radical approach that the right fear from the left, except they fear that the left want to go after the nuclear family, religion, the car, urban sprawl, plane travel, gas stoves, etc.

Apart from the issue of traffic and the mostly UK only issue of affordability of housing near the workplace, I have no idea why people with flexible working are choosing to work at home for more than 1 day a week. I would always choose to see other people at work, in person.

The UK centrist attitude to every piece of bad news (which is 95% of all news) is to think "how is this, or can this be, linked to Brexit." Price of chocolate went up? Nothing to do with water management and climate change. It was Brexit! etc. etc. but for EVERYTHING

Lots of great people served in the Biden administration and did good work. But Biden and his family landed us in this mess with selfish decisions and deceptive behavior and I’m mad about it. I want to vote for someone in 2028 who’ll say that. www.slowboring.com/p/throw-bide...

Excellent @ericlevitz.bsky.social piece urging Democrats not to back themselves into just randomly defending everything that's done under the banner of "DEI." www.vox.com/politics/399...

Part of me thinks that Trump's foreign policy on Europe is so reckless that he is trying to get Putin to do something that rapidly becomes catastrophic for the Russian army, like invading Lithuania. Given the military response it would elicit, it would be.

There's probably no long-term thinking going on. If Trump turns the presidency into a role of absolute power, then when a Democrat wins it, they will be able to Denmarkize the US in short order, with the superrich in no position to oppose their new confiscatory tax rates.
