Testing out the vacation house over on Bluesky since 1/2 my feed has migrated there and the spam is taking over X. Anyone else there?

@shaig But so you realize the threats cause business uncertainty which is already causing problems and the need to invest to hedge. Uncertainty is bad for business. Like last time I expected 4 years with erratic behavior and uncertainty.
@shaig Nope. it’s already causing challenges. The tariff threats are disrupting business & causing uncertainty for buyers which is complicating multi year contracts. Also, there is growing concern from employees regarding access to health care in their states.
Unprecedented need calls for an ambitious goal. If you can this coming #GivingTuesday, please join me in helping @2ndHarvest, one of the nation's largest food banks, hit its goal by 12/3 of $1M—and I'll triple it. shfb.org/reid

It remains amusing that if you are committed to support a publisher or author but still want to buy their product on Amazon: buying the paperback book is how they will get the most revenue, assuming the same price for book, ebook, audiobook.
Even after printing costs!
Percentage of revenue Amazon takes as commission for a $10 product sold on their platform, if that same product is also sold outside of Amazon:
Book: 40%
Ebook: 65%
Audiobook: 75%

@shaig The goal is not to cut costs AND growth. It’s to give us all more for less which he has failed at on X and if he does with the government we’ll also be worse off…..while spending less.
