Someone found the entrance to the Institute of Trickle Down Economics!

readuncutFour decades of offshoring and automation promised temporary pain, that gains would trickle down. Every time they seemed to stop one floor above the people promised them, like a lift that works for everyone except the ground floor. At what point do you stop believing it's broken?

AI Layoffs and Wage Compression: The Bet Corporate America Made
AI gave corporate America a way to gut headcount and get applauded for it. An NBER study found only 2% of execs attributed cuts to actual AI, but 60% cut in anticipation of efficiencies that haven't arrived. The bet was never productivity. It was permanent wage compression with better PR.

DoomsdaysCW@NMBA This story has aged well... From 2018 - Donald Trump's 'pee tape' controversy, explained
"So here's the thing. The dossier had a lot of incendiary claims β the big ones being that Trump had cooperated with Russians for years, that Trump is vulnerable to blackmail, and that his campaign maintained a βwell-developed conspiracy of cooperation" with Russian leadership β but none of it could be substantiated, or at least not publicly."

When #Trump talks about a #GoldenDome, this is what comes to mind...
officerripleyI don't feel like "Saint" Ronnie Reagan gets nearly enough hate. Oh, and Lewis Powell, fuck him too.

N-gated Hacker NewsMeta, the altruistic tech giant, graciously contributed a staggering 3.5% in #taxes while investing millions to ensure #AI can run for office someday π€πΈ. Meanwhile, trickle-down economics continues its reign as the ultimate fairytale, promising #unicorns and rainbows for all π¦π.

In 2025, Meta paid an effective federal tax rate of 3.5% β its lowest on record. Meanwhile, Meta is pumping $65 million into elections this year to boost AI friendly candidates. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax, it's corrosive to democracy. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.
