Society really should have better answers than just "kill yourself" or "infinite rent-seeking luddism" for people who lose their jobs due to big market changes

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

@suzamaroo They're not facing real backlash. Anyone who's informed enough to hear about the reveal already knew all of this, but their targets are the ones who aren't.

We all knew MAGA influencers were grifters, pushing the same “fake news” narratives for money but it’s starting to unravel just like the movement.
MAGA is dying.

since it's pretty close to tax day i'd just like to remind everybody that a few years ago the IRS was able to secure funding for a free tax filing service and was ready to release it nationwide until Donald Trump cancelled the program for literally no reason

@karamballes With Orban out of office, hopefully this era of global far right lunacy can come to a close.

Epstein and Thiel had Bannon working closely with Orban to build their network. Crypto was important for moving money around the network and Orban and other political allies sought to undermine efforts to regulate crypto
And Farage has gone all in on crypto, what a coincidence
Peter Jukes@peterjukes
Bannon to Farage in 2018 explaining his far right populist movement “You’re the guy.., we get Orban… some kind of coven ing authority” And they did Look at Reform and its Hungarian connections

@racheljanfaza I'm curious how many of the people who voted Trump and are breaking with him are 1) just antisemitic, 2) think everything he ran on was good, but are mad he didn't deliver, or 3) think he didn't go far enough. None of those 3 groups are good news.

Big dif between Gen Z 1.0 and Gen Z 2.0 men here
Gen Z 1.0 men (ages 18-22): +3 with Dems
Gen Z 2.0 men (ages 23-29): +20 with Dems

Young voters, except men ages 18-22, swing towards Democrats

@IamMikeHunt420 @unusual_whales Just curious, do you already work a manufacturing job or want to work one?
English
Obviously i want to see more manufacturing come back to the US, this would for sure take time to build on, but breaking the stranglehold China had on our manufacturing had been talked about for years, other countries benefiting from us moving away from China was always going to happen.

One year on from "Liberation Day," Trump’s tariffs have altered supply chains — just not in the way he envisioned. A Bloomberg analysis of shipment-level customs data shows a shift in manufacturing toward Vietnam, with the country last year surpassing China as the leading supplier to the US of laptops and game consoles for the first time:

@Paul_provalone @unusual_whales You won't see me defending Reagan, but this particular metric is influenced more by NIMBYs than anything else. This chart looks more like a reflection of housing affordability than anything.

@HotFudgePandae @tacowasa2nd The right wing only requires loyalty to Trump. That's why you see figures like Tulsi Gabbard succeed. It does lead to a diverse coalition, but in practice, it's pointless, since Trump dictates everything to them anyway.
English
@tacowasa2nd It's simpler than that; rightwing thought is more tribal focused. Not saying that's wrong, it's just that when you extend considerations beyond notions of "your people" like the left does, you start to agree on more general rules than if you prioritize your ethnicity and culture.

@tacowasa2nd One of the interesting and under-reported findings of this study was that those on the center-right were more likely to adopt far-right positions than they were even moderate left-wing positions.
English
@AmanitaFugax People like tariffs for the rhetoric of "building it here." They haven't cognitively linked the consequences of tariffs to that rhetoric. Unless they've paid for something that was explicitly listed as a tariff, and not a "greedy company passing the cost onto them," they like it.

@CodyNorthwood @omarsbigsister Since you support tariffs, I assume you'll be turning yourself in?

@charise_lee There was a study I was reading about how these AI models work best when they think they can see but actually can't. I'm probably misrepresenting it, but they don't even look at the image data, but they think they are, so they need to think they can see it.

@edoconn2 @Bassaces1 @KyleWhitak46637 @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 Please give me an analysis of the benefits.

@Bassaces1 @jpychart @KyleWhitak46637 @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 "Every"? I don't take any of you seriously.
Re tariffs, this is from BBC a few days ago. It's actual analysis. It's probably a waste to share it.

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken.

@edoconn2 @KyleWhitak46637 @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 @Bassaces1 Republicans ran on a completely nonsensical platform that every economist agrees provides no material benefit to the citizens and actively hurts the economy. We're seeing the results now. Do go on about how they're the moderates.
English
@KyleWhitak46637 @J3ffMiller @NateSilver538 @Bassaces1 He's moderate. Left are completely out of whack with everyone. Left actually still think it's "left v right". It's not. If you identify with what we call our current "left" there's no matching opposite demographic. You're not fighting the right. You're fighting Americans.

@cartierfamilyZ @jared_shult The only difference between Sneako and other conservative men is that he was brave enough to admit doing it

@OffFent @Eugabrielsx1 @epichan77 I'm pretty sure you can change it to show your region instead of your exact country. So it's possible they're not located in Japan, but it's not a guarantee that they aren't.

@brains_rid Large states are disadvantaged on a national scale due to the Electoral College and Senate. You'd only get 2 senators despite being the largest state. You'd get less votes than you'd think in presidential elections because some of your votes would be distributed to smaller states

忘れてる人多いけど
アメリカの人口は約3億4千万人。
日本の人口は1億2千万人。
つまり日本を51州として取り込んだ場合、アメリカ総人口の1/4が住む単一州が爆誕する。
当然、票田も権限も議会議員数も最大最強派閥。
まあ、以後のアメリカ大統領職は日本出身者の固定ポストになるよね。
