Quick 10-minute primer on how goose works as an AI agent, how it fits into the broader AI ecosystem, and how it uses MCP to interact with tools, automate tasks, and enhance productivity.
Can we catalyze supply chain, manufacturing, and global trade policy by "disruption".
Yep. @flexport transforms global shipping logisitics - all the bits n bobs therein - even touches last mile.
Building value thru discovering and solving problems in relationship with industry.
But wait! Won't orders for widgets, aluminum, gaskets,, sensors, scales parts, cams, insulators, and..all go to the American companies.. could be.. but think about it. Not enough co's exist, and if they did, their costs of goods sold mean they cant afford to make em

Given what just happened with the new tariffs tanking global equities markets, it would be crazy for the USTR to go through with this rule. If we want the U.S. to be competitive in global manufacturing, we need world-class port infrastructure and logistics connectivity. /12
..and *this*.. while people are dunking on dumbasses who don't or wont grasp modern trade.. is the actual point.. because of the 30M+ businesses in America impacted, 96%+ are not mega corps who can survive this on cash, bank deals, and bullshit.
We sould carve this out, gilt frame it, isolated from any of this wonderful context, and then use it to blame somebody.
So many intended ways to get unto the weeds on this. Look: financial elite have been planning *years* for this. Your pension fund, and retirement plans (propping up the financial elite) have not. On purpose. As in, by design. As in financial fear is another instrument of control.
For all that orthodox economists *hate* tariffs in all their forms, the question, "do tariffs work?" is a complex one, which can't be answered unless you specify *which* tariffs, in *what* context:

ALT A scene in which a line of paupers queue up to be given a pie by Uncle Sam, who has been modified so he has Trump's hair. To one side of the scene are three caricatured plutocrats, gorging on pie. The background is a US flag.
As noted scholar on authoritarianism @sarahkendzior has said more that once:
"They feign shock to avoid accountability."
It's like we simply refuse to believe Dem leadership chose not to act against the dangers now in ever greater force through the system built over decades.
Surrender's not an option, and press releases aren't opposition.
From last week’s duPont-Columbia Awards ceremony: “From where I stand, we cannot allow hate to win - no matter the cost. For the sake of our democracy, surrender is simply not an option.” vimeo.com/1050244496

I *know* you don't want this. And pretty much the only thing you can do about it is just don't shop at a place that does this.
Losing revenue is the only thing anyone understands anymore.

This. We're strung out on the ampetamines of contrived chaos and the opiates of theatrical catharsis. Stretched on a rack of outrage and false hope.
Meanwhile, not one whiff of *what's behind this behavior*, nor a single solitary syllable on solving anything .
Ponder this image. It's how we got here and how some folks are strongly advocating this is how we stay here.

In a regulated industry, its kinda nuts that such a visionary company can be this effcient. In the worst way. Let's make the CEO also leader of his biggest customer which also regulates airplane safety and water cleanliness and Social Security. Lolz.

John Deere. Another in a long line of American companies doing their best to screw the Americans that they built their company on.
NEW: John Deere is costing American farmers $4.2 billion a year by restricting them from fixing their own tractors.
Apple, Amazon and major automakers use the same strategies on everything you own.
It's bad for consumers and local mechanics, but excellent for corporate profits.
