Voter apathy is always the primary enemy of democracy, especially in Canada.

There are many here that have pointed out that the disinformation and false poles make people think there’s no sense in showing up. That’s not true.

Your one vote makes all the difference, It’s a right & obligation💯

"COVID-19 is primarily a vascular disease, with the SARS-CoV-2 virus targeting the vascular endothelium that transmits fluids between blood and other bodily tissues...it isn't surprising that COVID-19 also infects our most important organ of all: the brain."

What motivates antivaxxers? Their harmful grift is extremely profitable.

RFK Jr earned $1.5M from suing Merck over their HPV vaccine, and he earned over $500K from his "non-profit" Children’s Health Defense, which spreads disinformation about vaccines.

WHO's chief scientist says “the impact of Long Covid is going to be huge. When you’ve had 7 billion people infected, you only have to increase the risk of diabetes, dementia, cardiovascular disease by a tiny percentage, and you’ve got a huge long-term problem."

But sure, blame remote work.

The rich don't care about your physical and mental health. The reason they are pushing a coordinated media campaign against remote work is because the only thing they really care about is all the money they are losing from empty offices.

Conjunctivitis can be the only symptom of #COVID .
So why is it a lung disease only?

From that lens... how much would you think the finest propaganda machine ever known to a planet filled with propaganda enthusiasts should cost?

I'm guessing $30-or-so billion over market value is probably a steal.

Especially for those for whom no amount of money is any amount of concern.

His goals certainly seemed to include restoring the propaganda pushers and real-life Nazis to their operating positions. He accomplished that almost immediately.

From that lens, he hasn't "lost billions" in the purchase but rather "spent billions" to accomplish that specific goal.

When viewed from the lens of "smart business", none of this makes any sense. None of these decisions have been good for business. None would be.

But what if that's not the point? What if the lens is wrong?

It's a string of decisions that even those of us without MBA's can see doesn't make any sense.

If the goal is "smart business", this has to have been the kind of colossally dimwitted decisions that get studied in business colleges as the "what not to do" epic fails of a generation.

He eliminated verification. Let anyone post anything pretending to be anybody.

He implemented an $8 pay-by-month system instead to let some pretend that they are the ones with smart backgrounds saying smart things.

That's been a massive flop - pretending you're smart usually is.

The site was never perfect, but there was at least some attention to upholding a code of conduct. Checking disinformation around matters of public health, even if the checks were meek.

There were at least people there who's jobs were to pay attention to disinformation and do things about it.

In fact, there's probably zero chance of him ever making those billions back on this investment, given how he alienated most the advertisers for the site.

Many left because he was allowing unchecked disinformation -- propaganda -- back on the site.

He partnered with the brutal authoritarian regime to purchase a social media site.

Smart people said it was one of the dumbest business decisions in history. He immediately lost tens of billions of dollars. Immediately. Experts couldn't see how he would ever recoup those losses.

He partnered with the Saudi royal family, a brutal authoritarian regime. You may know them for their recent brutal dismemberment of an American journalist, or their fun professional golf league that just merged with the PGA. You know. Lite stuff.

There once was a website called twitter
Elon made it all twisted and bitter
We escaped for the whale
And all helped it scale
Now twitter can go to the shitter

Surprise! (not surprised)

"About 18% of those with Long COVID have not returned to work for over a year. The CDC says it's "hurting the U.S. economy.""
