Today's annual benchmark revisions to jobs data turned tech job growth from bad to worse—instead of only slow growth from late 2023 through 2024, the industry has actually been losing jobs at a rate not seen since the Great Recession
Joey Politano 🏳️🌈@JosephPolitano
Continues to be a brutal labor market for the tech sector—net hiring has been 32k over the last year, compared to ~175k pre-COVID and ~250k at peak in 2022

@JosephPolitano You give them quite a lot of grace by assuming they are pretending to be this ignorant.

it would be nice if everyone stopped pretending the federal budget is set unilaterally by Elon Musk instead of by passing appropriations through Congress and signing them into law
Paul Graham@paulg
DOGE is unlike other government departments in that its performance can be precisely measured. How much smaller is the federal budget next year? If Elon can cut the budget by 5% I'll be impressed.

@wanyeburkett Also conservatives: fear of immigrants, fear of public education, fear of brown people, fear of vaccines, fear of trans women, fear of women’s rights…could go on and on here

@Noahpinion Universal pre-k. Public after school programs that last until 6. Daycare capped at 10% HH income. Debt free public college. No more exclusionary zoning. Everybody would be having babies then.

Everybody knows low fertility is a problem, nobody has a plan!

OK what's your plan to increase fertility rates?

Booked a flight, scheduled and saw my doc, scheduled and got a CT scan at the hospital, went to the vet all this week.
Most of these complaints are just kids becoming adults and realizing someone’s not there to do it for them any more.
Lee Hepner@LeeHepner
Maybe I'm overly sensitive bc of my line of work, but why does *every single part* of this economy feel like an obstacle course? Booking a flight, seeing a doctor, getting insurance, finding housing, taking your animal to the vet... Are people just numb to all this?
English
@LADYBUNNY77 I agree on most of what you’re saying, but we’re dealing with entrenched politicians. None of them really act on principle or beliefs. They see what coalition wins and they shift to attract those voters, not the ones who sat out because that’s harder and riskier.
English
@AaronBurdett And 2024v Kamala sent herself to the right from where she ran in 2020--on M4A, fracking, immigration, etc. I don't believe Dems are being forced by voters to head rightwards. That isn't principled or doing what you believe in. Or leadership.
English
As with Kamala, Dems' answer to fighting Trump is becoming more like Trump? Fetterman campaigned on Medicare For All in blue collar drag. He won and then wouldn't even co-sponsor M4A, but he'll wear an Israeli flag a cape to work.
Tara Palmeri@tarapalmeri
NEW: As Democrats seek answers in the wilderness, some are nodding toward @JohnFetterman —the hulking, shorts-wearing, sometimes inscrutably anti-party politician—as a model for the unexpected Democratic leader who might emerge as an antidote to Trump puck.news/can-john-fette…

@mattyglesias Would be ironic if we met our climate goals because all these patriots had to turn vegan since they can’t afford eggs thanks to bird flu and tariffs on meat

despite living through 9/11, the Iraq war, the Great Recession, and the rise of Trumpism, millennials somehow ended up being the only sane generation
Conor Rogers@conorjrogers
Being generationally sandwiched between people who had their brain rotted by cable news and TikTokers who can’t read is going to make for an absolute nightmare era.

@RichardHanania These are also whole ass counties and not just farmland. No, the CCP does not own huge chunks of SoCal and DFW

One of the worst influencers out there ended up in this role after getting beaten by a trans swimmer. She’s the perfect representative of Americans who get behind MAGA, start out with reasonable concerns and then end up spewing all kinds of unrelated retardation.
Riley Gaines@Riley_Gaines_
Here’s a map showing Chinese-owned farmland conveniently located near 19 U.S. military bases. But yes, please tell me more about how banning TikTok is because we have a government deeply committed to protecting our national security.

@davidshor Idk while I think social media and the rise of the influencer definitely impacts this the trend on housing prices is still accelerating more than it should if there was adequate supply

@masonmilla 16 to 19 had low inflation and the some of the slowest healthcare cost growth in decades. Housing cost growth was pretty average. it's just downstream of technology making mental illness and psycometric traits associated with mental illness go up. x.com/davidshor/stat…

Zoomers care more about making money than any generation in at least 50 years

Gen Z is the most money-centric generation we've seen yet.

@TVietor08 Makes WaPo sound like a mid tier literary rag from the 90s that publishes Pride and Prejudices clones where Mr. Darcy is a cattle rancher from Wyoming

per *official Chinese statistics* there are 550 million Chinese living on less than 1090¥ a month (adjusted for purchasing power parity, $538), 970 million below 2000¥.
the Chinese propaganda is hitting overly online american leftists like crack

Just downloaded the little red book 📕 app. This app is going to undo decades of US propaganda. I’m already jealous of their cars. This is what Joe Biden took from you!

@2AvSagas Hey security theater can be effective (just not for its stated purpose).

For many reasons, this is not a real or sustainable solution, but it'll make a large-ish group of people feel better about transit.

Reading this thread is like having a wat flashback. “Everyone was sooo hateful and jealous of my mom and us 😌”meanwhile all the stories are like random strangers being concerned that 20 filthy barefoot kids are in a grocery store with a dead behind the eyes mother
