I hate this "phones" conversation regarding queer people and queer kids because the bottom line is, cishet society KNOWS. Right-wingers KNOW that the internet is how queer people connect to each other---hell, that marginalized people period use it to organize and educate.
That's why they hate it.

In a statement, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt accused the Democrats of having “selectively leaked emails” to “create a fake narrative to smear President Trump.” https://to.pbs.org/3LC1dxY
WATCH LIVE: White House holds briefing as newly released Epstein emails reference Trump
Epstein wrote in a 2011 email Trump had "spent hours" at Epstein's house with a victim of sex trafficking and said in a separate message years later Trump "knew about the girls."

Obviously it's never an unpopular move to take money away from lawyers. I get that. But if you make it uneconomical to work as a solicitor or barrister suing the Government, then that same Government can essentially do whatever it wants without fear of being stopped in the courts.

Altman has been quite clear about his strategy.
From the 2008 crash he learned that if you bind enough of the economy to your business you can do whatever you like; government will decide the rules no longer apply.
What he's selling is unaccountabilty.

I honestly don’t get the value of this company. They hoover up energy and water. Their product constantly gets things wrong and, in extreme cases, coaches people into suicide.
And it’s all built on what seems to be malicious and vast intellectual property theft.
