Overall pretty well. Petroleum prices are fairly stable, gas prices (refined product) haven't really moved in at least the last few months, natgas supplies are looking stable (prices are seasonal of course). We're still trying the hard sell to the EU to cut them off from Russian petroleum/natgas so we can replace those sales with our own exports. So, not too bad. For now. Once hot fusion hits the commercial market, it'll be a bloodbath. But that will take a few more years yet.

It could have something to do with at least one of these workers reporting to Congress that they were working on a "faulty and dangerous product". If people are talking like that publicly, then it gives Google all the incentive in the world to lay off some of the more vocal ones. A union would certainly prevent some of those layoffs, of course, but they haven't actually formed one yet.

The lesson to be learned here is that there's a sucker born every minute. Also you "allowed" Zuck to waste billions on VR because PEOPLE VOLUNTARILY GAVE HIM THE MONEY. People had the choice to spend money on other things and instead bought ads on Facebook. They voted with their wallets. There's your democracy in action.
