William Lindsey :toad:"As the old saying goes, there are three types of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics. Elon Musk has demonstrated mastery of all three, often simultaneously. …Trump, Musk, and the rest of the administration’s fabulists are counting on a phenomenon known as the continued influence effect, which causes people to retain false information even after it’s been corrected."~ Ross Rosenfeld<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FederalGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FederalGovernment</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/firings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firings</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/lies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lies</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a> /2<a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/191667/trump-musk-numbers-statistics-debunked-real-agenda" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newrepublic.com/article/191667/trump-musk-numbers-statistics-debunked-real-agenda</a>

William Lindsey :toad:"The right-wing myth about how things work is that the federal government is full of waste and bloat and you could cut two-thirds of it and nobody would even notice. This view is based on utter cynicism and stupidity on the part of right-wing shock jocks and cable hosts and others who want to promote hatred and keep people in a state of outrage."~ Michael Tomasky<a href="https://toad.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/FederalGovernment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FederalGovernment</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/destruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#destruction</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/workers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#workers</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/firings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firings</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disinformation</a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/ignorance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ignorance</a><a href="https://newsletter.tnr.com/index.php?action=social&chash=96a93ba89a5b5c6c226e49b88973f46e.1412&s=cdd6377d8462caad2b4695418c877aea" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://newsletter.tnr.com/index.php?action=social&chash=96a93ba89a5b5c6c226e49b88973f46e.1412&s=cdd6377d8462caad2b4695418c877aea</a>
