I love following great accounts and will always try to follow back. I do not follow people who:
1. Have a blank bio and/or no posts
2. Think this is a dating app
3. Ask for $, won the lottery, sell something other than art, music, etc.
4. Use a fake celebrity name
5. Send unsolicited DMs

Forgive the earnest post here, but one year ago this week, Global Tetrahedron took over The Onion. We've since brought back the paper and ONN, dramatically increased revenue, and hired more writers and artists.
But most importantly, as other places debased themselves, we refused to bend the knee.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers.
Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.
