Frick these bastards. I hope Zuck goes the way of MySpace and loses everything he owns. He stole our election system with $400,000,000 slush fund that paid for Xiden to be installed and the steal in Georgia Senate races.

All the folks working there need to learn to go coal mine.

Or they can just go start their own platform.

Learn to code. Or do like a New Mexico Congressfool said to Navajos and sell art or wool to replace your oil and gas job.

Find me a conservative, a normal person, working at “meta” and I will feel sorry for that person.

I am a bad person, I hope that every leftist rots in the same crap hole they have worked so hard to create for us.

Sometimes all I can do is smile. A very large smile.

I just drove across half the nation and back.

There are tons of pipe fitter and welding jobs.

These whipper snappers should be fine.
