support is more split on it than you'd think, we just need to pull away enough votes to block it. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES!

I run customer-facing teams and getting a deluge of complaint calls between Thanksgiving and NYE is literally a nightmare scenario that risks turning into a cascade (a couple people quit, more work for the rest, so a couple more quit, etc)
we will NEVER have more leverage than now through NYE

Spoke to my source familiar with internal workings at Mastercard. The holiday call campaign re payment processor censorship is working, there is a lot of pressure being felt from your calls. This is resulting in increased response times at a core moment for Mastercard due to the holiday season

The reason you see AI pushed so hard in products, ads and promoted posts is that they know people don't WANT to use it but they are desperate to recoup on their millions in investments.
They wouldn't be over-saturating your feed with AI tools if people were buying these things on their own.

Hey! Former Starbucks worker here (still have scars from 2nd degree burns), please don't cross this picket line. Starbucks is a chronic union-buster. There are so many wonderful local coffee shops to support instead. Make your support for Union Starbucks stores known until *& then after* a strike! 🖤
BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Starbucks unionized workers say they'll strike on Nov. 13 if coffee giant doesn't finalize contract
Union members say they are ready to strike on the chain's Red Cup Day if Starbucks doesn't finalize a contract with their union by then.

I knew Amazon was a shoddy place for book reviews, but my ARC team experience degrades my estimation further. Rumple review got denied. Because in a review of an erotica...I discussed sexual content and used a cheeky swear. Christ.

President Trump and Congressional Republicans just shut down the government because they refused to stop your health care costs from rising.
Let me be clear: Republicans are in charge of the White House, House, and Senate. This is their shutdown.
