Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.
A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.
Capitalism is broken.

I can’t get over how cartoonishly evil this is
putting in your fucking “hate speech” policy that a particular kind of hate speech against a particular group of people is explicitly allowed - and therefore encouraged - is the kind of shit that should be done from a volcano lair with a shark moat

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

They promise it'll be cheaper and it'll be running by 2029, without knowing what they're going to build or who's going to build it(!!!). All they got is who's going to be figuring out who's going to build it, and how much they *want* it to cost.
