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.
@acnewsitics He's like a kid that forgot to do his summer holiday project, something about Skyscrapers, then rushed it out with a set of felt tips the night before going back, realising that he didn't actually remember what the assignment was.
@DaveYates86@SkyNews It's weird. People are like "Create jobs!", so the Govt is like "OK, how about this", and those same people are like "NO, other different jobs that I can't and won't identify".
It's almost like the moaning about it is the whole point.
@atrupar In reality, it's like the Titanic. Trump is sitting upright, all the rest of them are leaning hard to stay upright as the ship is going down by the bow.
@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.
