Politics, economics
@Angle@witches.town universal basic income, universal health care, free education. Paid for by progressive taxes.
A lot of terrible consequences of our economic system would be ameliorated if people were really, truly free to leave jobs.

Politics, Facebook
As an aside, it's a dark year for the tech industry when a major news magazine can ask with a straight face whether one of the largest and most successful tech companies can be tried for crimes against humanity.
As Facebook is the #1 site on the web, part of my job on the Edge perf team is to make sure that Facebook runs fast. It's hard to find any corner of the tech industry that doesn't have blood on its hands. What a demoralizing time to work in tech.

#Google is trying to eat the web, one service at a time. Now they are even eating external news websites with #AMP.
This is a really disturbing development. Please resist, don't visit AMP pages if you can avoid it.

Why the fuck did chiropractic get associated with mainstream med? That's not far removed from saying palm readers are legitimate hand doctors. Chiropractic is actually pseudoscience and has nothing to do with your muscoskeletal system.

If we could time-travel and run the browsers of today on the web of ~2010, that baby would *fly*
