I’ve changed my position on the govt shutdown: there’s too much at stake wrt fed agency dismantling, Ukraine/Russia, and the Middle East (not to mention the future of NATO and (stupidly) now major power plays over the Panama Canal), for Congress to pout and refuse to play its role

(5/3 fin) last time it took a combination of tech innovation that boosted productivity across sectors and Clintonian centrism and focus on the cost of basic commodities that finally brought us out, after two decades… (the effects on poorer nations will be worse, so expect unrest, repression & wars)

(Bonus 4/3) this could propel innovation and investment in tools to combat fraud and crime, though ultimately we’ll have to deal with the underlying factors. And this is what the opposition party should be focused on: both rhetorically and planning. Last time it was a mix of

(3/3) This is bad, and the lack of opportunity combined with a high cost of living will induce many people into crime, including fraud.

I think I read the thread differently, as an explanation of model error due to data timing and how a spike in a negative element now channels into rising positive elements later, creating a smoothing function when viewed retroactively over time. That said, the economy will contract.

How is this not a time, manner, place restriction rather than a limit on speech? It’s not preventing self-publishing original content online. A specific search algorithm enabling filtering and redelivery of such content is not inherently speech.

Since a crypto *hedge* signals uncertainty in the dollar’s future value, this undermines the “full faith” proposition & will weaken the dollar and make financing the US debt much more expensive, sapping funds from other programs… their aim seems to be to weaken the US govt, unless they’re just { }

One woman Musk targets works on helping developing countries. Calling her work wasteful is myopic. Unsupported, such states tend to fail. Failed countries tend to export terrorism and violent messianism.
