Facebook has entered the for profit part of investing. They don't have growth investments and must now make money. So many laundering fronts did this, they would invest in a company, and then drop it into the real world. My favorite is Sierra was making a new FMV style Point and Click game and the creators were being told by their new owners how to stay profitable. The artists revolted and cried because they had no idea the previous games sales has been fake the entire time. We're seeing this now with social media. I also want to point out the writing for this article is sub GPT-4 ability. One paragraph was entirely to say 21,000 jobs had been lost.

Libraries are barren because no one wants to go through the review process of the books. So, they got rid of everything. It's great promotion on how evil the opposition are, and deflects from their own laziness. This reminds me of the No Child Left Behind act, which was so badly implemented at schools people dropped it.
