Mike

@chippaucek Bro, you bankrupted a company by making some of the worst business decisions I’ve ever seen. Maybe sit out critiquing anyone else’s competence.

These kind of shenanigans abound in DC contracting.

One of the most under reported stories of the past 3-4 years was the inevitable reckoning coming with DC’s local budget It has been unsustainable for years And it isn’t like DC hasn’t already raised a ton of revenue: 🚦📸 traffic cameras (backdoor commuter tax) 👶🏼 paid family leave slush fund (backdoor BAT) 💸 Income tax hikes in ‘22 🏡 The “mansion tax” 🧾↗️7% sales tax still set for October Yet here we are‼️

@StockSavvyShay Why is benioff bullying that robot?

$CRM CEO Marc Benioff just shared a video of the Figure 03 robot handling packages on a production line. Another reminder that the AI story is moving beyond software and into physical labor.

If bartenders can go to jail for over-serving alcohol to someone who then kills another person, judges should go to jail for releasing criminals who do the same.

@TZurybida You guys have had the conditions the best I’ve ever seen. Thanks for your work.

Scenes from this week at East Potomac Golf Links. As I reflect on all that has happened in the last 2.5 seasons, I am most proud of the team we have built on all the properties managed by NLT. Bruce, Adam, Chip, Dwayne, Shahid, and Charlie continue to raise the bar daily.

@ZacharyDonnini Where are you even sourcing these Dallas numbers from?

These numbers coming out of Dallas are absolutely terrible for Crockett. There appears to be significant cannibalization of her ED base in early voting. Talarico is clearly favored heading into tonight.

@KroosnBailey @Planckbot @Yuchenj_UW 🎯

@Planckbot @Yuchenj_UW You know Microsoft could just create the feature outside of the excel code base the same as Claude.

How did Anthropic ship this before Microsoft 365 Copilot?

@LouStagner @MThi_59 It is wild how most people commenting with negativity don’t understand how much financial backing you need to even make it to the tour — let alone stay there if just starting out. I bet Sam Bennett would trade his masters finish for this deal.

@MThi_59 Do you have any idea how many college players try for YEARS to make it in pro golf and never get to the PGA Tour? You know how much money those players made? For nearly all of them, they LOST money chasing the dream. How many of those players have you heard about?

Michael is a fantastic player. Making it on tour is HARD. There are no guarantees. If I had to guess, at the minimum he will walk away with total earnings of $20 million. At the minimum. $20 million puts you 106th on the career money list on tour. $20 million sets you and your kids up for life. And that's the minimum he will get. Opportunity for more. Good for him and I wish him well.

@ronMEXICO1995 @NoLayingUp They've lost 5 sponsors for big events: Farmers, Genesis, Sony, Schwab, Wyndham

@NoLayingUp You think the PGAT is in peril? By what metric?

What the tour has effectively done to Rahm, Bryson, and Cam Smith is given them a second chance to sellout all over again. Assuming they’re able to get out of their deal like Brooks did (not a guarantee), they’d be recommitting to collecting paychecks from a tour that may be in peril. The PGA Tour is clearly, without any question, the most competitive tour in the world. They’ve made a TON of money from the Saudis already. Continuing on with them when given a one time option to rejoin the tour with the best players… man what a fascinating couple of weeks this is gonna be!

@TZurybida @links_national You guys are killing it. Thanks for your work.

Good morning from East Potomac Golf Links. Today I want to thank all the folks who have given words of support over the last week. From the agronomic side we are going to continue to do what we know. Greens mowed and rolled today for our 150 + patrons. ⁦@links_national⁩

@NW_Realist @maustermuhle 🎯

@maustermuhle It’s obvious this has been far more about raising revenue than traffic safety for years. As a journalist, you should know more than many and have the ethics to report that the city balanced the budget a couple years ago on what was it…$500,000,000+ in new ATE camera revenue?

Law and order, except for drivers who blow though red lights or speed down residential roads?

@Jason @rwtactico2 SVB

@rwtactico2 What bail out have I ever gotten?!

In three years, the grinning swagger of the new socialists will be shattered as they deploy the worst playbook at the worst time: Facing massive deficits, they will double down on spending, reduce policing & drive out the top tax payers they’ll fall into a death spiral & beg for a federal bailout.

@TGL Still using full swing simulators?

Season 2 is almost here! More ways to play. More ways to watch. More ways to connect. We’re leveling up competition, broadcast and the fan experience with a renovated green complex, expanded virtual holes, and new cameras and AR-driven visuals, plus a bigger global stage across 152 countries and territories. Former PGA TOUR pro Roberto Castro @cicioCASTRO, who was closely involved with TGL’s development, joins the broadcast alongside Scott Van Pelt, Matt Barrie and Marty Smith to break down strategy and match-play moments. Don’t miss Match 1: Dec. 28 at 3 pm ET on ABC

A nice review. Yes, Adam is aligned. Largely because nobody is paying him not to be!

The cost-of-living crisis is really a sovereign debt crisis. You can only print and borrow for so long. It causes problems in the long run. And the long run is here.

Holy shit. This is an absolute must-read. Most important and confirmatory economic work I have seen in years.

For all the tech people complaining about Mamdami I would like to point out that a Federal Backstop for unfettered risk capital deployment into data centres for the benefit of OpenAI shareholders is actually a much worse form of socialism than free buses.

Fucking clowns

@JustinWolfers For an economist you sure are bad at data. Pointless to look at nominal instead of as a percentage of GDP statista.com/statistics/217…

Even after DOGE, the tariffs, and all the performative stuff, the reality is that they're blowing out the budget deficit, and this year is on track to be the largest in the post-pandemic period.
