Now you have someone fired for reporting labor statistics that the President of the USA doesn't like. The President is trying to take control over large segements of our democracy, universities, sports organizations, television networks, newspapers, courts, etc. This should concern everyone. Of course don't forget DOGE and how Trump has already stolen all our personal data from multiple federal agencies.
Of course the techbros are all like LOLZ, we're making so much money. I have a pretty large holding in Meta and am considering dumping it. My partner is salivating about Palantir. I can't believe he doesn't understand how dangerous that company is.
