Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Twitter Down 8% as It Continues Losing Millions of UsersOn the upside, it posted its first profit ever. On the downside, millions are abandoning the platform.Twitter turned its first annual profit in 2018, but the company has a problem it doesn't want to talk about. The company said Thursday it had 321 million monthly active users in the final three months of last year, down five million from the prior quarter and nine million from the same period a year ago. That marked the third consecutive quarter of user declines. And soon, the company will stop disclosing the figure entirely.NeverTrump, which seems to live almost exclusively in their twitter bubble VR fantasy RPG world, hardest hit. The correlation between "Extremely Online" Twitter MMORP addicts and members of NeverTrump and the Resistance has got to be nearly 1.0. Do you know of any such persons who are not nigh-omnipresent on Twitter? Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

What the world will do without the wit and wisdom of John Podhoretz (check your feed every five minutes), I have no idea. You've got to think that all of these people who are on there non-stop have serious problems. Maybe they don't get along with their spouse or their children.

It was a simple life, but a beautiful one. The long days in the field, followed by a communal bounty of soy products at eventide, and readings of intersectional feminist masterworks by the firelight. Then, off to our bean-bag chairs for a night of sumptuous quiet in the countryside.
Every day was like that - glorious. And in the autumn, we'd harvest the content for the buyers, who'd come trundling into the market in their shiny ShareBlue trucks. Until the Twitter famine came, and shattered our bucolic paradise. Nothing would be the same again. It truly was innocence lost.

What if we're in for a second big Tech Meltdown, but this one will only affect the paper billionaires?
I bet a lot of money went into Twitter/Facebook/Buzzfeed/etc. because those were the only investments that looked like they could turn a profit. Utilities were being killed off by "green" energy and manufacturing was dead, dead, dead. Now everything has changed. Manufacturing is booming, and so are resource extraction. An interest rate above zero percent means actually SAVING MONEY can make economic sense. With other options, big money is going to look at something other than Silicon Snake Oil. Just a thought.

321 million active monthly users? Nope.
Early on, I was using Twitter accounts to monitor computing services. If the system was going near a critical phase, it would Tweet out an SOS. Those in the group could then subscribe to the tweets and receive notifications. New accounts were created and old ones abandoned periodically. It was temporary until a internal secure solution came to together, but those are hundreds of accounts that are floating around out there as orphans that never had a single opinion or dick pick to share.

FK Twitter. Horrible company. We all know how petty, disagreeable and confrontational your AVERAGE Progressive is. Twitter, located in one the geographic epicenters of radical Progressives, with a culture of progressivism that is radical even to its own geography, is chalk full of young activist SJW activists including its Dear Leader.
I can't even imagine what it's like working for that company... Hyper activism, tribal interest groups, the tattle tailing, the employee education meetings and wall posters, the internal drama, the safe spaces, the distraught work absences... Good GOD. I'd have to eat valium like M&Ms for breakfast just to go to work from my $800k, 1000 sq. Ft. apartment surrounded by homeless degenerates shooting smack on feces smeared sidewalks. No wonder these SJWs hate the America they live in. Posted by: RichardWindsor at February 12, 2019 06:24 PM (db5dt) 117

All of a sudden, there are other options that aren't based on vague future promises of dividends. The sole reason manufacturing fled was NAFTA. It took a while, but that abortion drained the country of a lot of money, just as planned. And that money went to our enemies, the Chi-Coms. Thanks a lot, BJ Clition.

The idea of building a corporation to be profitable is rapidly dying, especially in "Silicon Valley".
Accumulate a pile of cash from dopey investors and government weasels, do just enough to keep afloat and keep the scam alive, all the while shoveling money into the pockets of the board and VPs and other muckety-mucks, and then when the whole thing goes tits up, abandon ship, start another corporation (or re-infect an existing one) and start over.

Ross Perot keeps looking better as time goes on. He was right. Manufacturing is more economically stable than whatever model it is that Twatter is based on. Less prone to massive downturns in the overall economy than, say, tourism (like down here.) It's a solid, long-term money maker where the employees can move their way up the ladder. Which is why politicians don't understand it and don't want to nurture that sector. Most of them are lawyers who operate on a totally different model of removing existing wealth, not generating it.

I would not blame NAFTA directly. Nafta was the tool, but the culprit was giving china mfn and wto, and never adjusting our trade policy in response to the end of the cold war. NAFTA played a very large part in the destruction of the middle class, as did your two examples. We got sold out, plain and simple. Tens of thousands of small manufacturing businesses closed after NAFTA and millions of Americans lost their jobs and their careers. My standard of living never recovered, and neither did a lot of other people's. It's almost like our nation is run by a gaggle of economic imbeciles (Occasional-Cortex, I'm looking at you).

150 The first game I played on a computer of my own was this text game where as you moved characters would show up representing walls or doors or other objects or structures. You couldn't see them until you moved and touched them. I remember Hammurabi: Will of the People, on my state of the art Texas Instruments computer. Classic weapons or food choice. I usually played to be deposed by angry riots. My favorite game was Parsec, which was a space invader-type video game. That was the high point of my gaming. The graphics became too fast and flashy, and I don't process visual information that quickly. I get motion sick. Posted by: Beltway Elite at February 12, 2019 06:43 PM (b6kHD) 232

a bit OT, but I was looking at a map of Venezuela today (just because I was pondering it) and wondering what you could do if you could get Columbia and Brazil interested in an intervention, and setting up a guardianship. (yeah, I know, unlikely, but...)
It actually would be quite easy for Brazil to move up and take control of all of the Eastern provinces, especially if they moved quickly - only one major hiway and no truly large towns. Columbia, coming from the west should be able to quickly grab everything around Maracibo, which is most of the oil industry. No need to go to Caracas, where most of the Venezuelan military is concentrated. It would be left isolated, as a rump state with no industry, while Guiardo could assume the Presidency over all of the "liberated" provinces. With the rest of the country occupied and cut off, Caracas would fall without a shot in no more than a week or two. And no American troops needed.

Nope, they knew exactly what they were doing. Making more very rich, and killing the middle class, because campaign financing does not come from the middle class. Note that most of the house and senate are worth more than $1 Million. Yup. They got greedy and impatient. Or I should say, more greedy and more impatient. When I first got started in the machine shop bidness, I was told that there was a coming shortage of tool and diemakers and that I could look forward to making around $70K a year in about 20 years. I believed them. Silly me. That didn't account for imbecile politicians manipulating the economy, something that they have no business doing.

Will never happen. They'd pass a national sales tax, or flat tax, and then promise to phase out the income tax. At some point. When they get around to it. And then campaign on that issue every 2 years until this generation dies out.

I'd lay wager that Coulter is pretty terrible in the sack. Too bony ? She could use a few cheeseburgers. I'd have to put her on top.

>>>2. National Sales Tax, and ONLY a National Sales Tax, on everything. No
exceptions. No different rates for different things. With the amount you pay printed on the receipt itself. (Rich would still pay more, because they BUY more). This is a thought that has been in my mind for a long time. Everyone get some skin in the game. No more income tax. Doesn't matter where the money came from, when you spend it, we get our cut. Rich enough to by a fancy car or fancy food? Pay up. Gets the under the table workers and the drug dealers and the other types of crooks. Fat chance though that they'd get rid of the income tax. They'd just add it on top. Posted by: cfo mom at February 12, 2019 07:13 PM (RfzVr) 424

national sales tax is dumb. The really rich would just buy their fancies elsewhere and the very poor get freebies so only the middle class would be paying.

Don't mock the 5 million fewer users. Approximately 80% of that number, if not all, are conservative users who were suspended at one point by Twitter for expressing conservative speech. So, liberals took over an important platform for shaping the dialogue in this country. They don't want us to participate, they don't want us around to remind them that Virginia is run by two racists who set up the Charlottesville riots and a third rapist who probably had something to do with Kavanaugh hearing.

"Perot was absolutely correct about NAFTA"
Actually, Perot was mad because with NAFTA, he and his sons couldn't exclusively benefit from free trade. Perot loved him some free trade so long as he was THE only person profiting from it. I worked for a company which benefited so much from NAFTA it would up getting most of its profits from Mexico. IIRC in 2017 Texas had a $10 billion trade SURPLUS with Mexico due to the free trade we are now required to passionately hate. Posted by: CatchThirtyThr33 at February 13, 2019 02:08 AM (Oj4EX) 435
