musk's ice cream machines is kind of funny in the way its trying to transfer psuedo-benefits used for salaried bourgeois computer touchers in their sinecures onto physical laborers that are being squeezed and underpaid like musk is this great industrialist but he only knows how to manage spreadsheet factories

Facebook is the only way for a large number of essential connections for a large number of people--functions ranging from family, work to political participation. if making this change is such a big deal then that should be a loving wakeup call that maybe people have gotten too reliant on one particular platform "facebook is the only way" for gently caress sake

Facebook can easily fail and repercussions would be nil. it’s only used by grandmas and Russian bots anyways google would be way more dangerous and too big because of google mail in particular, search part is easily replaced
