Trump wants to end tech industry’s ’woke AI’ efforts to address bias

Many of you don't remember what The Great Recession was like and it shows

I say this to the doomers and the delusional optimists on here.

No this isn't the bottom

No, no one knows where the bottom will be. That's why time in the market always beats timing the market.

No, these things don't happen instantly. The damage this Administration has caused will take months to years to be fully realize. We are still in the very early stages.

No, we won't have negative growth for the first quarter, it's too soon and we have had recessions where we get positive growth for some quarters, as well. Especially in the beginning.

No, businesses having a decent first quarter means there's no recession. Not every business will be affected right away, or even majority.

No, just because you aren't feeling/seeing it in your every day means there will be no Recession.

To prove my point let's look at the 2008 Recession:

  • When did the 2008 Recession actually start?

Try December 2007

  • When did people start feeling that Recession?

While it depends on the person most will tell you Summer/fall 2008

  • When did the Bear market Start?

October 09, 2007

  • When did is end?

March 2009, 17 months later.

Even in the 2008 Recession, we had full quarters with positive growth. 2008 Q2 GDP growth was around 2.3%

Also the 2008 Recession had multiple dead cat bounces. Some as high as 25% back up.

So in other words, you all need to calm down.

It's not going to crash overnight, but it also isn't going to be all roses and sunshine either.

This isn't a black swan event like COVID, it's being caused by an Administration with severely bad policies that will catch up to us sooner than later.

As a long-term Amazon shareholder, what happened today is both absurd and concerning

As a (very) small Amazon shareholder and a long-term passive investor, I genuinely feel offended by what happened today.

Americans love to lecture the rest of the world about freedom. But apparently, as soon as a company highlights something legitimate—like the strain caused by tariffs—that truth suddenly becomes unacceptable.

It’s clear by now that these tariffs will have a negative economic impact. There’s no need for deep political analysis; the numbers will speak for themselves. Yet Amazon gets censored or criticized just for showing this?

The fact that these comments were removed (or softened) just to avoid “offending” the President of the United States is ridiculous. It feels like blatant political interference in economic discourse, and a direct violation of free enterprise principles.

Even worse, it’s being framed as if Amazon was engaging in political manipulation. No. It was just pointing out the real economic consequences of political decisions. This kind of pressure is something you’d expect in North Korea, not in a supposedly free-market democracy.

Honestly, this kind of state-sensitive corporate silencing is dangerous. We’re getting to a point where basic economic facts can’t be stated without triggering political outrage. That’s not how a healthy economy—or democracy—functions.

Edit: for all the geniuses in the comment section that say it took me a while to realize, they can shut up because it’s not so. Look through my profile and previous comments/posts, I’ve always been against this sort of policies.

ABC News reporter Terry Moran asked Donald Trump if he would acknowledge that the Bill of Rights says every person — not just US citizens, but every person — is to have a court hearing before being deported. Trump retorted with the insinuation that this is a double standard as none of those people had hearings before entering the USA illegally. That’s a false equivalence: the Bill of Rights is a constraint not on private individuals but on the federal government itself.
