@APompliano you’re spotting a lotta patterns recently, Pomp.

@DanielleMorrill $25B isn’t 1% of the increase in interest - that would be $2.5T of incremental interest.

$25B is 1.4% of the deficit though. You find 40 things of that size and the deficit is down to 3% of GDP.

@tobi This presumes that the actual reason for tariffs is due to fentanyl and not a justification to get around USMCA.

When asked if there is anything Canada can do to avoid tariffs, Trump said “No, nothing. Not right now. No.”

tough one, @ShaanVP.

@lukeburgis I don’t think the argument from most people is no smart phones until 18.

It’s keeping phones out of class rooms, delaying social media until 16, and so on.

We just need to create space for kids to be kids.

@lukeburgis Yes - physics

I thought I wanted to be a lawyer but I also loved physics. My guidance counselor convinced me to focus on maximizing my chances for law school.

I went into business and stayed there.

@mkobach We’ve got the same experience with our toddlers daycare. Except it costs $200 per month.

All of Canada has (or will have) subsized $10 per day licensed childcare and it’s wonderful.

@girdley A person came into my fitness studio and asked for a job. I told them to come for a free workout and then we'll do an interview.

Never heard back.

Three years later they applied for a job again. I asked if they ever came in and they said "no I just got busy."

@buccocapital Every time there is an “Elon discussed x” story that doesn’t come to fruition the media says he backtracked.

The seriousness of discussion is more important.

Apple probably has the greatest volume of bad ideas. They just don’t get leaked.

@mkobach believing Santa is real > pretending Santa is real

@BrandonMChu @moizali @Shopify Yes and no, it can lead to Shopify sites that feel like they're cobbled together -- especially for things that seem very core functionality.

iOS relies heavily on the App Store, but I can still use my iPhone without external apps.

@tomfgoodwin writing about the current irrationality of the stock market rarely stands the test of time.
