Alan MacLeod of MintPress News has just released an exposé of the hiring practices in Silicon Valley, particularly at Twitter, and his findings suggest that many social media companies have filled some of their highest security positions and most influential positions with former members of federal agencies, including the FBI, CIA, and the military.



According to MacLeod, former high-profile FBI figures Dawn Burton, Karen Walsh, Jim Baker, Mark Jaroszewski, and Douglas Turner, as well as former FBI agents listed as Matthew W., Patrick G., and Bruce A., and FBI employees Cherrelle Y. and Laura D. all once held or currently hold positions at Twitter related to policy, security, finances, or legal issues.



Whistleblower Coleen Rowley, a former FBI agent, said she's not at all surprised, claiming that there's now a "revolving door" between federal agents and the companies they were once charged with policing.

Elon fired an additional 4400 twitter staff getting rid of everyone who "moderated media".  The censorship trolls got shit canned, over 8000 in two weeks, yet users barely notice any difference.   Talk about bloat and dead wood.

In a different story twitter employees and former employees whined that Elon Musk was trying to starve them to death because he ended free meals on the company dime.  As if workers getting paid $200,000 per year are just unable to buy theor own food.  This is me playing the world's smallest violen.

Violin? Have you tried changing the chord? Maybe you need to purchase an electric guitar and steer yourself away from crappy politics for a tune? It would honestly be like a breath of fresh air...

T utter isn't really politics though the left certainly wants to make it so.  Either way I will continue to cover topics which interest me and if you dislike the topic feel free not to post in that thread.

Leftist entitlement



Elon Musk has clamped down on exorbitant meal costs. The New York Times reported on Nov. 11 that Musk plans to make employees — who according to Zippia earn a starting salary of $106,000 — pay for their own lunches. Meals had previously been subsidized by the company.

A great video about how Democrats work with big tech monopolies to influence voters to favor Democrats.
