    I went down a few times to the political klosterkeller but the air down there is very dump and most of those resident vampires there are rather obnoxious. They speak in riddles too.

    It's not really much different than TTR deleting posts for discussing emissions tampering. I'm guessing that since it's illegal, they don't want to be viewed as enablers or share in any liability for spreading that information.

    If we were talking about platforms being removed because they were discussing tax plans, I'd probably agree that it's not fair. But we're talking about a platform that is unwilling or unable to stop people from discussing violence and other illegal acts, which are against the terms of service.

    This is only anecdotal. So take it with a grain of salt. One of my sons works at a call center which contracts their services to large companies, fielding ordering issues, sales, which includes "up-selling" of these companies products, etc.

    They were slammed for months last year, all they way up to Christmas. He was averaging 65 to 70 hours a week. Since the new year, it died. Company is laying off people, sending employees home early every day. He's lucky to get 6 hours a day now before being sent home. Now he's single and has a very low-cost of living situation, so he can handle it for now.

    My observation is that a lot of people are spooked right now and are pulling back on their spending. I know that in my own family, my kids and such, are all waiting to see what happens in the next couple of months before moving forward on bigger ticket purchases.

    It appears that consumer confidence is falling? Which is not a good sign, especially in light of so many small businesses being locked and closing down due to Covid, etc.
