Oh look - we’re gonna eliminate the post-2008 capital reserve requirements so people can plump up the AI bubble even *more* while also making banks less resilient on the day that bubble bursts.
Can’t wait for Gen Z and Gen alpha to experience this. We’ll have so much more in common.

So many men go through life like that. You can play poker because it's right-coded, you can't enjoy fruity alcoholic drinks because they're women-coded, you can't lick an ice cream cone because it's gay-coded. All day, every day, choosing and judging things based on coding for narrow norms.

Trump also just posted these photos to Truth Social, including the one with Mamdani standing next to a portrait of FDR. Trump mentioned Mamdani asked if he could have his picture taken there.
"It's an amazing portrait in the cabinet room," Trump said. "So he's a big fan of the New Deal, I guess..."

An utter disgrace. A Trumpian level of destruction being wrought at the CSIRO under Albo.
"The environment unit, which has more than 700 full-time equivalent roles, will be reduced by 130 to 150. Four of its nine research focuses will not continue"
