And that's just generally you look at something specific like the crypto market (which combines all the worst aspects of Wall Street, banking, insider trading, Ponzi schemes and organized crime) it's even worse. They not just complict, they actively profiting off deregulation

He has no experience running a government department and given the tech bro motto is "move fast and break things" (plus him posing with a chainsaw, plus the ridiculous numbers he's thrown out, plus his conflicts of interest) I can't say I have a great deal of faith

There's no evidence that agencies tasked with policing scams and catching white collar crime is bloated. If anything the opposite appears to be true! You're just reciting a popular cliché among libertarians about government.

The idea of "do more with less" is a fiction invented by the corporate types who (to borrow your analogy) have never had to dig a hole in their life
Tracking down and prosecuting scams, Ponzi schemes, tax evasion, corrupt business practices etc etc is time and labor intensive

There's no talk of rebuilding, only of purging.
The thing I hope we agree on is we want to see more corruption and white collar crime prosecuted.
Explain (in real terms, not analogies) how we do that with less law enforcement staff and with smaller budgets?

What do you mean by "not keeping anything in check"? Failing to regulate? Failing to enforce? How do they do that better if they are less well funded?
How do you stop scams and corrupt business practices without law enforcement?

Musk hasn't uncovered any corruption though...
In fact, he's gutted the agencies tasked with uncovering corruption, particularly tax evasion and crypto scams

I would urge a little caution with memes however, they appear harmless but they are the vehicle of choice for 21st century propaganda

The pertinent data is global average temperature precisely because it's better at evening out peaks and variables
The data isn't all from urban areas. The most reliable data is based on global sea temperatures (which are unaffected by asphalt etc for obvious reasons!)

It makes no sense to look at single region or over short time periods

That's a fair point about Bluesky, it's got a very heavy liberal bias...
I'd still be on Twitter but they made it so folk were able to monetize trolling and disinformation and trying to engage people in the comments just helped them

And talking about reducing echo: some on the left have started claiming the 2024 election must've been rigged which has given me a chance to challenge people closer to my political leanings on conspiracy theories.
Interestingly (or depressingly) they use EXACTLY the same rhetoric

I'm interested in conspiracy theories generally and have interacted with enough conspiracy theorists to know that you can't let them start bombarding you YouTube links
Is it surprising to expect proof? I expected proof that 2020 was rigged (didn't get it), why not 2024?

I've seen countless "proofs" that the 2020was "rigged" which amount to nothing more than analysis of data sets without looking at underlying causes and drawing spurious conclusions
