I guess "Industrial Riddim" is as good a description as any? F minor, 140 bpm, once again with liberal use of the Stylophone.
Would love if you clicked through and gave it a listen :)

It’s probably bad that I keep waking up with “Runaway Train” by Soul Asylum in my head, right? 🙃

Ah, so the people who lost their jobs due to AI can go work in retail for lower wages? 🖕 Because I'm sure they aren't going to pay them what they deserve and need.

Meta is working on plans to open retail stores, internal comms show
Meta's retail plans come as it seeks to boost sales of hardware products, like its smart glasses and virtual reality headsets.

It must look like I don’t care about things, but I’ve weathered 3 huge losses back to back amid the turmoil. March: My oldest cat who got me through the loss of Mom. April: My 17-year career. May: Dad. I swing between burying myself in job hunting, self-employment ideas, & gaming on my phone.

My dad died at around 4:45am today. He was 95, suffered from dementia, and had been confined to bed just days ago with palliative care.
Mom died in 2011, also with dementia, at age 82. She never declined to the state Dad was in, fortunately.

I, obviously, know that "we are right" and "they showed who they really are"
But if you think ANY company is "one of the good ones" you are naive about the very nature of a corporation
The bottom line ALWAYS is the final arbiter for them
And the way to win is with both the stick AND the carrot

These are good points. I won’t blame anyone for continuing to stay out of Target even if the demands are met, but I also won’t hold it against anyone who chooses to go back.
I know how betrayed people feel by target's recent choices
This is fair and I feel it too, but please remember how boycotts work
If they meet our demands, we must go back
By "never shopping there again" no matter what they do, there is no clear benefit for them or other companies to any concessions
