It's interesting that Trump ended his truth post this morning with his initials when he normally does not. "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT" Then, four hours later, he puts a 90-day hold on the tariffs and the market rebounds. Was it a tipoff to his oligarch buddies who were getting "yippy"?

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
