Heute für die #SPD-Landtagsfraktion in #Trier. Dort fand die Veranstaltung der Zukunftsinitiative Rheinland-Pfalz (kurz #ZIRP) zum Thema „Unsere Infrastruktur- sicher in die Zukunft“ statt. Welche Sicherheitsstandards gibt es? Wie können Unternehmen und Gesellschaft sie erfüllen? Spannende Vorträge!

Oh, look! A groundbreaking revelation: engineers sometimes say "no!" 🙄 Groundbreaking stuff here, folks! Let's just call them "ZIRP phenomenon" and pretend that's a thing while we nod wisely and pretend we're not just baffled by #buzzwords. 😂🌟

The Great Financial Crisis was papered over by increasing the money supply and lowering interest rates. Then COVID made the music stop by making inflation real and noticeable.

"Broadly, across economic sectors, AI isn’t visibly affecting the #jobmarket. But it’s a good layoff excuse.
So if that’s true, why are there all these #layoffs? It’s broader and long-running economic problems. You can start at the end of the zero interest rate policy [#ZIRP]."https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/01/29/the-job-losses-are-real-but-the-ai-excuse-is-fake/

this is a truly wild statistic (and IMHO is the kind of predictable outcome of a decade of zero interest rate policy from the #Fed)

🎩 Ah, the stock market: selling its soul faster than a midlife-crisis dad in a convertible dealership. 🏎️ Meanwhile, the Fed's "independence" is apparently on sale for the price of a tweet from Trump. 🤡 #ZIRP broke the world, but at least we're entertained by the #circus. 🎪

@corbden the #vibecession started in at least 2022, no matter that Biden said. when #ZIRP ended the artificial growth era of 2009-2020, shit’s been real, and almost nobody wants to admit it

While a certain company abandons its DEI efforts, BlackRock is now pulling back from green technology.
There is no point in pursuing these initiatives if they do not generate profits. The ZIRP era was essentially a form of fraudulent socialism.

“Higher for longer” is known as “return to normal” in the post-#ZIRP era, just look up #InterestRates in the late 70’s and early 80’s.
I don’t make the rules 🤷🏻♂️

#Lula is the right guy to stand against #Musk. He is the one who said (in 2009) that "#Brazil would choose #freesoftware because we like to make our own food — like #feijoada —with our own recipes and ingredients, and we would not follow #Microsoft bland recipes."We were on the right public policy track then…
But #ZIRP (zero interest rate policy) for Silicon Valley was something we could not deal with. -

My favorite way of thinking about interest is that it is human impatience crystalized into a market rate. #zirp #interest #productdevelopment

LOL, Elevations Credit Union in #boulder wants your savings to make a difference by offering a 0.05% APY on their Membership Savings accounts in a post-ZIRP era.

Sim, Uirá! Em 2011 tomamos o #TomboDeHolanda no #MinC, e nossa resposta foi um plano de "identidade federada centrada no usuário" para espalhar nos estados. Mas #bigtech vinha de #ZIRP desde 2009, e daí até 2015—#Meta/Twitter/Google dominam. Agora virou, e com a #IA, há o imperativo de cada um cuidar do seu #acervodigital. Se o #Google ataca a web, morre, portanto há esperança para a #Web—o Fediverso como nova #IDfederada. -

This is what an HTTP client does when it has raised $225M and is valued at $5.6B. Looking forward to the response of 1Password.

“Everyone is looking around, talking about when layoffs are coming next, at what company.”
—A tech worker tells Insider that no job in the industry feels safe right now. There’s a new acronym in tech:
#ZIRP -- Shorthand for “zero interest rate phenomenon”ZIRP is a frequent reference lately among tech employees about the current upheaval in an industry that for years was synonymous with cushy perks, high pay, and stability.
As the Federal Reserve started to consistently increase interest rates in 2022 to ward off inflation, companies that had thought little about spending started to tighten their belts.
A history of tech companies throwing money around has started to look like an anomaly of the past.
Moonshot projects are a relic of the ZIRP era.
So are free catered food, day care, and laundry service at work.
Hopping from one mid-six-figure salary job in Big Tech to the next? ZIRP.Tech workers are coming to grips with the fact that the ZIRP era is over, as CEOs who once only had #growth on their minds have taken up with “#efficiency.”
In the last 18 months, this efficiency mindset has led to mass layoffs at behemoths like Meta, Amazon, and Google.
It also created a level of job insecurity that an entire generation of highly paid and highly educated tech professionals never thought they would experience.

"How did we arrive at this juncture? Is it the end of #ZIRP? Was it that the companies that formerly made useful things that we valued underwent a change in leadership that drove them to make things worse? Is Mercury in retrograde?
None of the above.
Capitalists hate #capitalism. For a corporate executive, the fact that you have to make good things, please your customers, pay your workers, & beat the competition are all bugs, not features."

"It may seem strange to point to #ZIRP as a cause of the current rightwing government in #Argentina when its own central bank rate stands at a truly bonkers 133%…
These #platforms did 2 things: they produced a tide of low-paid work that crushed people, and they pushed people to do the complex work of becoming a coherent person on those same platforms themselves. For many, both work & play were sucked into these platforms."

"#ZIRP stands for ‘zero interest rate policy’: a distinctive kind of monetary policy…to encourage companies to borrow & the economy to grow.
#platformcapitalism were all founded/expanded hugely in this ZIRP-era: Uber, Airbnb, Spotify, YouTube, Instagram…
Many of them were allowed to grow without producing a profit for long periods of time. Instead, they promised to capture and format the future for future value extraction."
