jfc the hubris that is the wind beneath elon’s wings
that time Elon felt pissed and slighted because he got moderated for saying something hateful so he went into irreconcilable debt and leveraged his other companies and made a large deal with the Saudis and Putin sympathizers just to buy the one thing in his life that was moderating him and his hateful misogynist and racist and transphobe contemporaries (and not even that thoroughly) so that he could axe moderation and shit whatever thought he wanted on to the Internet only to have to hilariously overcompensate and become a dictator of moderation of things *he* didn’t like to blunt the consequences of his chaotically evil pack-of-m80s executive brainfarts but too late to stop losing more money and employees and summoning the exacting attention of the FTC and the undoubtedly molten ire of massive industries who lost billions of value in a single day, because Elon has never thought through the philosophies, sociology, and ethics of free speech or faced the consequences of his own actions that are about to smash him in the face and moderate him harder than he’s even been moderated before
“To take just one example, consider moderation. Without moderation, platforms become a cesspit of misogyny, racial hatred and antisemitism, without any conceivable benefit for society. Holocaust denial is not free speech — it is hate speech, and at least indirectly incites discrimination or violence. It is, at best, a shallow and uninformed interpretation of free speech to want to abolish moderation.”

Hey guys, this isn't my usual kind of post but I've had my attention brought through my union to the proposed Kroger-Albertsons merger.
This would give Kroger a monopoly over the Kroger, Fred Meyer, QFC, Albertsons, and Safeway brands/stores across the US.
I don't think I need to explain why monopolies are evil, but this deal would also come with many store closures, union-worker layoffs, the potential creation of food deserts, and forced reliance only on Kroger-owned groceries.
If this is something any of you want to take action against, help support workers, and help support your local communities I would like to kindly ask if you could visit nogrocerymerger.com or follow this link to sign the UFCW (United Food & Commerical Workers) petition
