Funny Business at Zuckbook
Ex-Facebook tech worker shedding light on how Facebook, & Google were using the H-1B visa program to funnel cheaper labor & hold many of these workers as indentured slaves. He also points out "shortage of high skills" is a LIE.https://t.co/lD6i1d2nm5

Looks like there is a new round of cracking down on dissenting views on Facebook. While social media may have some usefulness, those social media companies deserve to fade to red.

How Difficult to Shoot Down?
Do they expect the internet to remain a neutral means of communication available to all those with the capability to use it, or will it be policed in the future in accordance with their liberalism and cultural Marxism?

Pope Francis has some face time with Facebook founder
"The couple said their goals in donating their funds would focus on “advancing human potential and promoting equality,” and would consist of several long-term investments made in areas such as health and education, while at the same time working to decrease inequality and use technology to bring about positive change."
Did the pope criticize their leftist SJW positions? If it is not appropriate to do so with those who are not Christian, then why bother to meet with him? Is the pope merely a celebrity or a political figure?

Facebook Forever?
How much do current friendships and their maintenance factor into the decision-making process of those who are thinking of moving out of a region or state? I suspect very little, and while FB may satisfy their need to feel "chummy" through being updated and such, how many of them actually take the time to do something more substantial to stay in touch? Talking on the phone or writing a letter? Facebook may indeed be most useful to family members; their ties are based on more than whim. Those who know what it is to maintain close friendships will not really need it, and FB will foster illusions for the rest.

It's almost two months later; have I changed my mind about whether it was worth it to pay $100 for the reunion? I did meet one of my classmates for lunch the same month, and may try to do so again next month, if "I'm feeling like it." The disappointment isn't solely related to Uther's drive from Excalibur. I made some new FB contacts after the reunion but I don't really "communicate" with most of them. Ah well. If there is a 25-yr reunion I probably won't go.
