@bmay You're literally an idiot😂 How exactly is Starmer electable? He got lucky with Reform splitting the Tory vote. He's a moron who has no idea how to get our economy going or where we should be heading as a country. He has zero vision. One of the worst leaders we've ever had.

Always in awe watching people on the entirely unelectable wing of the Labour Party relentlessly trying to purge out the only people who have ever helped it win any elections. It’s so peculiar.

@BityBeats @OhYouBlockhead 😂😂

@OhYouBlockhead One of my fav’s. I highly doubt all the people criticizing it read very much of it

Atlas Shrugged is extremely overwriten. In every spot where it could've been "Hank smiled," it's "Hank stood at the railing, watching the flames spit up from the boiling pits below, reminding him of when he was a boy and could feel the fires up close, so scared of them before, but now he couldn't help but let a smile escape..." There are several parts that read like Fifty Shades-lite with pages of cheap BDSM. The names are cartoonish. Balph? There's an entire prison break section that follows a chapter with a disaster so absurd that Clint Eastwood refused to adapt it. Then, if you make it through all of that, there's a 70-page rant by John Galt that starts with cavemen making fire and ends in the stars. All that to say it’s still easily one of the most important books this side of the Bible.

@saudisandbox @OhYouBlockhead 😂😂

@OhYouBlockhead Start with the Fountainhead for sure

@OhYouBlockhead So not important at all then

@CodeEdison You're right. Capitalism collapses.

Everyone says AI will replace most jobs. But if there are no jobs, there’s no income. No income means no spending. So how does the economy even function? What am I missing?

@AngusSatow He's a scum bag.

Second this. Some people seem to think it's acceptable to openly criticise political advisers. Morgan has never sought the limelight, never briefed out his own genius, never shown anything other than honesty & integrity. As a friend, I find it sickening the attacks he's faced.

@BenGrahamUK The UK government can never go bankrupt. Hope this helps🙂

Rishi Sunak warned us exactly what would happen. People laughed it off, and voted for Labour. Now his prediction looks spot on. Call it what it is, he was right.

@stonesister7 @TedUrchin 😂😂😂

@TedUrchin They, Ted, are the ones who wanted Brexit - along with their Dear Leader, Corbyn. That’s why I left the Labour Party at that time. Sir Keir was why I returned.

I’m really saddened to say this, but there really are some myopic fuckwits on the far left of the Labour Party. One could easily be forgiven for thinking they liked being in opposition as opposed to being in government. I think they all have the ‘fuck it’ button in their heads. I truly despair on occasion. @UKLabour

@TedUrchin I wouldn't describe Keir Starmer as "far left" Ted.

@markfersh @brian_armstrong People still make fun of you 😂

@brian_armstrong People used to make fun of me for being a fan of Atlas Shrugged. Now it’s our reality.

A few good books worth reading: - Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand - a classic that celebrates builders. Once you read it, you’ll notice the same characters and events taking place today. - The Changing World Order by Ray Dalio - great for understanding how civilizations rise and fall and how crypto can help create better countries. - From Third World to First by Lee Kuan Yu (founder of Singapore) - talks about building a new country, worth reading for understanding nation-building.

@patneedham_ @brian_armstrong The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch. Amazing book.

@brian_armstrong I've noticed how whenever people make fun of book recommendations on here they never suggest better ones For a platform full of smart ppl I would like to hear what I should read 🤷🏻‍♂️

@brian_armstrong 😂😂😂😂😂

“I would bring back Blair as foreign secretary.” - @AnthonySeldon Listen to The Exchange wherever you get your podcasts.

@MatthewStadlen Bored of Starmer being PM. He needs to fuck off.

Just a hunch, but think people are getting bored of the Starmer Mandelson vetting story now. Headlines are moving on.

@Falkenby @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW It's not on track to be bigger than the economy. You're making assumptions that aren't true.

@BallaTheSenior @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW That the triple lock eats even infinitely printed money since it is on track to be bigger than 100% of the economy

Political will (of which there is none) required. "4-in-10 Brits (38%) believe the state pension ‘triple-lock’ should be made permanent, compared to just 6% who want it to be scrapped, new research from AJ Bell reveals"

@Falkenby @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW I'm not sure what point you're making

@BallaTheSenior @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW You want to print currency? With what electricity? The triple lock will eat that too. Just saying.

@vrilliumlive He was. Hope that helps

Saying Jesus was Jewish is like saying George Washington was British.

@ebenezerDN 1. why would senior devs review the code? 2. the ai documents it 3. the rest of your post makes no sense. Hope that helps

Your company replaced the junior dev with an AI tool. Saved $75K/year in salary. The whole team celebrated. VP sent an email about "leveraging AI for operational efficiency." Somebody made a Slack emoji about it. Six months later. Your two senior devs now spend 4 hours a day reviewing, debugging, and rewriting the AI's output. They're mass-approving PRs they barely read because there are too many to keep up with. Each makes $180K. The documentation hasn't been updated since the junior left. Nobody noticed until a new contractor joined and couldn't set up the dev environment for 3 days. Turns out the junior was the only person who kept that wiki alive. Net savings on paper: $75K. Actual cost when you add up the senior dev time, the onboarding delays, and the bugs that slipped through unreviewed PRs: about $40K more than before. CFO still calls it "a successful AI transformation" in board meetings. Nobody corrects him.

@yoneabuser @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW Correct on the first point. Not sure how you get from the first point to the second. Hope that helps

@BallaTheSenior @DaveWil05666003 @MerrynSW 😂😂we can’t run out of money, we’ll just print more. And then you call us stupid. Have fun paying 200£ per liter at the pump. Atleast the seniors will be happy
