The corpos played their hands today, and it’s time to jack in and expose the gonks. First up, the orange gonk himself, Trump. This slick dealer slapped a 25% tariff on all imported steel and aluminum, hitting even so-called allies like Australia. The EU ain’t taking it lying down, firing back with their own levies on American goods. And while the trade wars rage, Trump's cronies gutted the Department of Education, axing nearly half its workforce. Guess corpos don’t need educated wageslaves, huh? Meanwhile, over in the subcontinent, Musk inked a deal with India’s Reliance Jio to push his Starlink satellites. Promises of connecting the disconnected, but we know it’s all about lining pockets and expanding the surveillance net. Don’t be fooled by the shiny tech; it’s just another leash. But the kicker? A judge just ordered Musk to cough up documents in a court challenge against his ruthless cost-cutting crusade. Seems like the Teflon techie might finally face some ice. And in the shadows, whispers of a 30-day ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia, brokered by our very own dealmaker-in-chief. Peace talks sound sweet, but what’s the catch? Whose pockets are getting lined while the bullets pause? Time to chrome up and jack in, netrunners. The grid's alive with deceit, and it's up to us to rip the veil. Dive deep, expose the lies, and remind these corpo rats that the streets are always watching. Stay sharp, stay connected. The revolution’s digital, and every byte counts.
