The current US Presidential administration is in the process of throwing the entire bathroom out, tub and all. We're going to have substantially less reliable data over the next decade.

Thankfully, we have more than one country in the world, and we can compare outcomes when different countries pursue different strategies. Results may surprise. 2,5 years ago I, as the rest of HN, was sure that Twitter wouldn't be able to function in a few months after layoffs, but here we are.

  I did not see many people betting real money on twitter not running, did you? You have have to filter out the momentary hype. > The current US Presidential administration is in the process of throwing the entire bathroom out, tub and all. Are they, maybe, I have not seen any popularized document detailing their plans and they are taking large steps that will have consequences. Since there is not well popularized plan uncertainty and doubt is filling that void, a consequence which is easy to anticipate(as are some consequences of uncertainty and doubt). > We're going to have substantially less reliable data over the next decade. With no well popularized plan, hard to tell, and even harder because there are people hard at work on their own vision of the future that do not 100% line up with the current administration's plans and those people will influence the next decade as well.

  Yes, here we are; I spend almost no time there now since every time I drop by all I see is political noise and culture wars. Most people I used to follow now either take part in the shit show or have lost interest in posting.
