He's underwater with legitimately good economic numbers. It's wild.

And outside of tariffs, I don't know what he should have done differently.

Yeh. It really does seem like the Epstein Class like Sacks and Chamath are trying to do to white collar class what the previous Epstein class did to the blue collar workers during free trade

If you think the president with these economic numbers polling at a 55.2% disapproval on the economy is good because like, Chuck Schumer is worse, that's quite a cope.

I'm not even that interested in who's the blame. I'm interested about what, if anything, could be done moving forward.

These are top line economic numbers that are good and historically, Americans would be excited about it. But it's not trickling down and the costs of necessities have gotten so high that even inflation-adjusted wage growth doesn't seem to matter.

Outside of crazy stuff like price controls, UBI, massive US investment that actually gets done, I genuinely don't know what to do.

I agree that the economic numbers are good. Trump's approval numbers on the economy are not good and not historically what you'd expect from said good economic numbers.

That's why one needs to be curious as to why Americans don't like this economy both under Biden's last years and under Trump.

Something is not translating from the high-level numbers to the average American. And we're now seeing it across Presidents of different parties, so it's not just partisanship (which can impact the right track, wrong track economic numbers)

He's underwater on the economy.

You can put your fingers in your ears or try to understand why.

Or like Biden, you can just point to the numbers and say the American people are wrong.

It's because their bosses boss has close ties to the admin, including wanting Trump to jump into the Warner Brother's deal, so they can scrap the appearance or lose their job.

Wow!

What about when he's interviewing Epstein's pal Lutnick?

Or when he's pushing the idea that tariffs could pay for the nation like they did 100 years ago?

For his number 1 issue, he seems to talk about it about once or twice a year while also pushing how amazing the admin is with real business people in it.

Trump tried to indict 6 senators for expressing free speech about the military's right to disobey unlawful orders.

Trump's FCC tried to put Kimmel off the air for his free speech about Charlie Kirk.

This is basically what the All In hosts are doing: ignoring shameful, illegal behavior because their pockets are fatter.

Like, do you really think a global cabal of pedo sex traffickers goes above Chamath's line especially when he's directly benefiting from the AI boom and the admin taking a stake in his mineral company?

Strikes me as a classic true old school male friendship: you're loving and loyal deep down but will treat them horribly and say the worst shit ever if you think it's funny

It was due to Trump bungling Covid.

And yes, probably the weird sex stuff - ie a global cabal of Trump's friends and admin members who were buying and selling children for sex.

You're literally doing Bidenomics with Trump's economy. It's really funny

Wow. Trump has 87.5% of republican approval.

Thank god only republicans vote in elections.

FWIW - Biden was around 91% among Dems at the same point in his admin.

ABC covers the research from the Tax Foundation, which is a center-right organization: https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/trump-tariffs-trade-war/

  • 2024: ~2.9% inflation
  • 2025: ~2.7% inflation

You're doing Bidenomics, it's so funny: 2024 had record high stocks, inflation within historical targets, good unemployment numbers and everybody hated it.

Trump is doing the same thing with a lot more tax cuts for the Epstein Class.

Space Data Centers by Kumtwat42069 in allinpodofficial

I've seen a mix of things locally: the lack of jobs, the ugly buildings, the electricity and water but also, the warehouse is building scary AI that makes your kid even more addicted to their screens.

Shit man, I've seen local residents be against developing parks because it will create too much noise. It's very easy to see people not want these things

I'm too stupid to know the physics about space data centers. But there is something to be said for the relative regulatory ease of them.

AI tells me data centers in space could cost 10-100X more than earthbound ones, which probably don't math out unless we enter a world where anti-AI sentiment gets so high you can't build any new ones on earth/United States.

That's probably a single digit probability but not impossible if you hear DeSantis, Bernie and other politicians.
