I didn't say anything about cutting off FB.
The point here is about FB possibly being a reflection of a more and more poorly equipped culture to have productive conversations about tough subjects.
We have to go at 1-2pm just to get a lane.. normally it is shoulder to shoulder... even at 2 pm today it had a good number of people.
In ISrael atleast no one considers COVID as even a worry anymore...
Side note, you dont know what I do do you? You know I work in a lab with COVID samples right?
The fact that for 4 years this anti-American psycho narcisist had the launch codes to their nuclear arsenal is probably the most terrifying thought possible. #Trump
Something particularly notable as I read through this thread is the current Tesla owners who say that they really like the car per se, but would not consider getting another, because of what Musk represents to them now (and of course, there's much more EV competition now also so they don't have stop driving EVs). Professors will be talking about this "self-inflicted brand implosion" in business school classrooms for generations.

Adam Reader, also known as The Professor of Rock... is a freakin' legend.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWn2ShHJnNs covering "I can't make you love me" performed by Bonnie Raitt.
PoR is so gracious and respectful as he covers each of the artists. I came from the days of the Satanic Panic, and there was so much wonderful music back in the day I couldn't enjoy because "if it ain't God's Gospel & Country/ Western... IT'S OF THE DEVIL!!!"
But that music was still part of my background, stuck in my head after all these years. That's the power of THAT music at THAT time! I very much appreciate how Reader covers the background and context of this music I had in the background despite my parent's efforts to keep me from the Evil Devil Worship Music. For Reader, it's personal, it's authentic, the music is *life*.
Please take time to check out his YT channel and see if he covers a favorite of yours. You might catch an interview with Ann Wilson of Heart, or Santana. Just... check it out, and I'd love to talk about this guy, the music, and the legends of Rock that inspire us today.
Nothing wrong with preferring it here and saying why, but some people just have to preen and it’s annoying
