  • Well, anytime someone says “small government” what they really mean is outsourcing.

    While I’m sure there will be a lot of that, I don’t think that is “the plan”.

    Trump campaigned by saying he would be mean to immigrants, cut government services, and implement tariffs.

    He got elected, so he’s doing those three things.

    Additionally, for all intents and purposes he’s the king of the US, so he can do these things in such a way as to maximise offence to the left because he finds it gratifying how powerless we are to prevent him.

    In short, there is no plan other than gratifying Trump each day.










  • Even if you’re not “out of work”, your work becomes more chaotic and less fulfilling in the name of productivity.

    When I started 20 years ago, you could round out a long day with a few hours of mindless data entry or whatever. Not anymore.

    A few years ago I could talk to people or maybe even write a nice email communicating a complex topic. Now chatGPT writes the email and I check it.

    It’s just shit honestly. I’d rather weave baskets and die at 40 years old of a tooth infection than spend an additional 30 years wallowing in self loathing and despair.
