The FT says bankers/biz executives are having 2nd thoughts. Serves 'em right.
Eager for tax cuts, deregulation, and a revival in the M&A deals that enrich them (aka "animal spirits") they ignored the obvious: he would bring chaos, tariffs, and vengeful democratic erosion.

A great thread. This is very encouraging!
We left X 150 days ago, and we joined Bluesky 75 days ago.
In that very short time we have surpassed the 7k followers it took us 14 years to assemble on X; more than that though we've really enjoyed being part of the dialogue here.
Bluesky is not an X replacement; it's better than that. <1/6>
