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.

On April 17th the U.S. Trade Representative's office is expected to impose fees of up to $1.5M per port call for ships made in China and for $500k to $1M if the ocean carrier owns a single ship made in China or even has one on order from a Chinese shipyard. 🧵 1/

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

In the meantime, U.S. manufacturers who have just had massive new tariffs placed on components and machinery sourced from abroad should brace themselves for impact because all indications are that this rule is coming on April 17th. /end

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.

As the Trump Administration pursues the noble goal of re-industrializing the United States, passing a pass a rule simultaneously that limits U.S. exports as a function of American made ships—ships that today that will hamstring exporters would be a true self-own. 11/

We sould carve this out, gilt frame it, isolated from any of this wonderful context, and then use it to blame somebody.

The U.S. did not produce any container ships in 2024. And the number we produce in any given year rounds to zero. The reason is that American made container ships of 3,000 TEUs cost the same price as the modern container ships from China of 24,000 TEUs. 7/

How long does it take to build a fleet of American freight ships? Seven years?
Dunno
How long's a piece of string?
7 Apr 2025
The craziest part of the original proposal is a requirement that within 7 years 15% of U.S. exports must travel on a ship that's made in America and crewed by Americans. 5/

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.
23 Mar 2025
You are absolutely - in plan sight - yet none of the Dems took project 2025 seriously even tho they 'voiced' warnings - they did not plan on it happening in real time; plan a response other than 'we were surprised'

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

They knew about Epstein.
They knew about covid.
They knew about climate change.
They knew about the coup.
They knew about the mafia.
They knew about the theft.
They knew...and they lied.

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 .

* Garland won't release the memo on Trump and obstruction
* Yellen won't release Trump's tax returns
* Wray won't investigate the elites behind the attempted coup
* Biden won't restructure board to get rid of DeJoy
* Dems won't pass voting rights
You catching on yet?

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.

When flexing fails, fuck it. Just double down.
This doesn't sound as lovely as intended, methinks. Designing parts for a horrible product and looking for shortcuts to glory isn't a flex, it's a flaw. Stress fracks can hide but they can't run. No worries though, the dream lives on.

John Deere. Another in a long line of American companies doing their best to screw the Americans that they built their company on.
18 Nov 2024
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.

Whole you're at it, go to every gov agency you care about and download all the info.
The data will disappear even faster now. We'll need it to rebuild.
And the 1st amendment will not shield authors and journalists who oppose the autocrats. Support her work.
