This deal is dangerous for our democracy. Billionaires like Elon Musk play by a different set of rules than everyone else, accumulating power for their own gain. We need a wealth tax and strong rules to hold Big Tech accountable.

Well I think I know what needs to be done here, after 2 years of being told what.
Skip tracing - using her phone, everyone she has been in contact with over the last 2 weeks, and everyone they have been in contact with, and one more layer of who they have been in contact with, must quarantine at home for 2 weeks, no income.
To come out of quarantine, 5 consecutive negative tests; only 1 test per day. A positive test resets the quarantine time. No income.
Once a day, all infected must log onto social media, 2 masks to prevent spread via internet, and state, "Thank Joe for The Vaccine, or else it would be worse than this." Failure to recite may result in deplatforming. Quarantine timer resets until deplatforming timer expires. No income.
All pets must be euthanized. Quarantine timer does not begin until this is accomplished.
Daily urine tests to affirm no unapproved vitamin or dietary supplements are being ingested.

[FoxNews] Attempts to label San Francisco DA recall a Republican effort is ‘hogwash,’ community activist says
Residents in the liberal Bay Area told Fox News they're ready to boot San Francisco's progressive district attorney, Chesa Boudin, who's facing a recall election.
"Let me see … bang, bang, bang, you break something and … out the next day," said Johnny, who works the docks at Fisherman’s Wharf. "Yeah, the DA has got to go."

They were not 'duped'. They were given the world they believed in and wanted. It's just that it never was the 'real' world just fantasy, rainbows and unicorns. As long as they buy into the 'victim' culture and reject 'human free will' they'll never make rationale decisions.
[FoxNews] Governing for Impact's internal memo says they have implemented more than 20 of their federal agenda items.
A secretive group backed by millions of dollars from liberal billionaire George Soros is working behind the scenes with President Biden's administration to shape policy, documents reviewed by Fox News show.
Governing for Impact (GFI), the veiled group, boasts in internal memos of implementing more than 20 of its regulatory agenda items as it works to reverse Trump-era deregulations by zeroing in on education, environmental, health care, housing and labor issues.
"Open Society is proud to support Governing for Impact's efforts to protect American workers, consumers, patients, students and the environment through policy reform," Tom Perriello, executive director of Soros' Open Society Foundations, told Fox News Digital.
Hungarian-born U.S. investor and philanthropist George Soros has been bankrolling liberal causes across the globe for years.
"Their work gives voice to people often overlooked in a regulatory environment too often dominated by corporate interests," he continued. "Our support for Governing for Impact's work is publicly available on our website and we are transparent about our enthusiasm for their victories for American workers and families."
GFI, however, works to remain secretive. It is invisible to internet search engines like Google (an unrelated "Govern for Impact" is the only group that appears in a search). No news reports or press releases appear on its existence outside of a mention of its related action fund in a previous Fox News article on the $1.6 billion Arabella Advisors-managed dark money network, to which it is attached.
But as the group attempted to conceal its operations, it sought talent on Harvard Law School's website, which was discoverable. The posting, which no longer appears on the site, was for legal policy internships.
The Harvard advert said the group was established to prepare the Biden administration for a "transformative governance" and that it had produced "more than 60 in-depth, shovel-ready regulatory recommendations" for dozens of federal agencies.
The listing also contained an email address ending in "@governingforimpact.org," which is the group's website that can only be accessed by those who know the URL.
According to its website, Rachael Klarman, a Harvard Law School grad, steers the group. Her father, Michael Klarman, is a professor at Harvard Law and also has ties to progressive advocacy groups. He is an advisory board member of the left-wing dark money judicial group Take Back the Court. Last year, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-RI, invited him to testify before Congress on dark money's "assault" on the judiciary system.
GFI's site contains dozens of legal strategy memos for shaping executive orders and regulations in the educational, environmental, health care, housing and labor realms.
The memos generally do not identify their authors. Some show partnerships with outside groups such as The National Student League Defense Network, the Center for Law, Energy and the Environment at Berkeley Law School and the Economic Policy Institute.
"Many of the proposals on this site focus on how the new administration could unwind the previous administration's harmful regulatory legacy, but GFI continues to take on new policy projects at all levels of government," the site states.
GFI, meanwhile, is not a stand-alone nonprofit. Instead, the New Venture Fund, a nonprofit incubator managed by the D.C.-based consulting firm Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors it. This setup allows GFI to avoid filing tax forms with the IRS.
The group's attachment to the Arabella-Advisors dark money network, which raised $1.6 billion in anonymous donations in 2020, is not discoverable from public records. The New Venture Fund does not report GFI as a trade name in its D.C. business filings.
However, GFI's links to the New Venture Fund are discoverable in George Soros' Open Society Foundations (OSF) grant database. A search of the database shows that Soros nonprofits sent $12.98 million to GFI and its related action fund in 2019 and 2020.
The Foundation to Promote Open Society awarded $5.53 million to GFI. Meanwhile, the Open Society Policy Center sent $7.45 million to GFI's action fund. The Sixteen Thirty Fund, also managed by Arabella Advisors, fiscally sponsors the action fund.
