The ultra rich should deal with strays

I left my job and took a long break... and I dont know the consequences of it
I was at my favorite park, Charles Klor, where I often played frisbee with random Jews and Arabs… all I could of was our mutual bliss. Unadulterated by thoughts of work obligations and life stresses.

Ukraine & USA's Massive Cyber Failures
Russian authoritarians are already acting to remove social media and similar tools from Russian states. They know the damage that will come if US simply had Facebook add a banner demanding protest in Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Massive corporations like Meta and Twitter are not Nato or US.
