People moaning about the echo chamber actually love the echo chamber. What they're really moaning about is that they only want it to echo with their own words.
@harryjsisson One of these people will write a memoir in a year or two describing the day the session came to an end, the red light on the camera went out, and the orange feller in the chair never came back on. It'll be quite the tale.
@RhoRider Strange when you think back a couple of months, the markets were faltering...then out of nowhere everything pumped, retail fully-risk on, marginmaxxing...just in time for their SpaceBagx.
@interesting_aIl There's a thing that happens in our neighbourhood: A developer pitches something that's 5x larger than any planner would allow. That's the mental anchor. Then, they 'concede', reduce it to 2.5x larger than everything else. Relieved, people fall over themselves to agree.
Don't.
@BBCWorld So that's it now. Everything just gets justified by "War Powers", even though the US isn't 'officially' at war, and Congress just voted to end the War in Iran?
@BBCNews Disneyland Paris revenue is about $4bn a year, net profit $300m+. It'll likely be a lot of jobs, a decent tax haul, a core for ancillary businesses who feed it will grow up around it.
@SkyNews@cathynewman A narrative has embedded the notion that businesses should be entitled to be profitable regardless of the expense to everyone else. Customer service, quality, staff wages and taxpayers picking up the shortfall, business tax cuts. Only they must win. Everything else is collateral.
@FT Burham and the Labour Party deserve exactly what's coming if they don't stop acting like a bunch of indulged entitled school children. Get on with fixing the country instead of grappling for the top job, otherwise this term will be up and you are comprehensively permanently done.
@glenn_tunes There's an inevitability, given how the valuation cycle works to conveniently make everyone paper-rich, that this happens. As soon as people agree to it by buying the stuff it becomes real. As always, we have the choice but ignore it for our 0.000000000000000000001% of the pie.
