Lols. Sorry. Did it to praise the Dutchies who are fleecing him out of over half a billion of his dollars for a fancy Boaty McBoatface.

Meanwhile, more billions on the other side of the coin - this time billions being lost…
Meta Poised for Largest One-Day Wipeout; $190B Loss Indicated.
Its valuation could slump by more than $190 billion when Wall Street opens Thursday if premarket losses carry into regular trading.
After markets closed on Wednesday, Meta, formerly known as Facebook, said in its fourth-quarter earnings report that Facebook’s daily active user base shrank for the first time in its history. Meta also reported $10 billion in operating losses from its nascent metaverse business.
The stock closed yesterday at $323.00 and opened this morning at $244.64 - that’s a drop of 25% in overnight, premarket trading.

Another 5%+ decline today, taking the 5 day loss to 28.5%. And with news that they’re “threatening” to stop Facebook and WhatsApp services in the EU, I think there’s still more to lose.

I can’t finish the article as social media has destroyed my attention span and I cannot focus on such a wall of text without having my normal interlude of memes and tik toks…

Also, there are 7 likes but only 3 clicks of the link. So the attention span of our community is so utterly destroyed that the majority of people don’t even get past the headline.

Ironically I had this same discussion last night with my coworker, because he is a social media addict, and admits to it. But of late since he became a single parent, he puts the phone away when he gets home to pay attention to his 4 year old. But at work, he almost never puts the phone down except for customers, but that is what triggered my convo with him, he admitted he needs to stop.

I’m keeping an eye on my smart watch which is tracking my heartbeat and my calories burned while I am doing an indoor cycle, while playing Zynga Poker on one half of my iPad screen, while scanning through Twitter on the other side, while replying to you on my phone.
Sorry, what was the question again?
