Speaking truth to tech gods: I return to TED

Offiziell ist diesseits des Atlantiks der Katzenjammer über Trumps Zoll-politischen Kamikaze-Flug groß.

It was a real pleasure to chat with Jack Tame on Q+A about why now is the time to think seriously about reducing our reliance on US tech companies and what to make of Elon Musk’s alliance with Donald Trump.
He hosts a great programme and I was really happy to be invited on.

Stock futures are plummeting by at least 2% as Trump details his tariffs.
To my fellow Americans, be prepared to pay up to 25% more on EVERYTHING.
Trump doesn't understand that as we kill economies around the world, our own economy will plummet from reciprocal tarrifs AND the economic downturn.
This will be a global meltdown.

With #Section230 Repeal, Dems and #Media Offer #Trump New #Censorship Tools

Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal #government to force #online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump #WhiteHouse carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political #agenda.

#Mississippi #governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into #law to phase out income #tax
source: apnews.com/us-news/taxes-tate-…
#Senators last week had conceded to eliminate the income tax, but only with economic growth “triggers” as safeguards — the tax wouldn’t phase out unless the state saw robust economic growth and controlled spending. It would have likely taken many years.Or so they thought. The Senate bill had typos that essentially nullified the growth triggers and would eliminate the income tax nearly as quickly as the House proposed. The House passed the flawed bill on to the governor, who signed it into law Thursday.
