- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Because this makes them money. Either indirectly, through kickbacks, or through stripping of regulatory powers.
Not really. Big company incomes, along with pretty much any other economic metric you want to choose, very consistently do better under liberal government in the US. It is one of very few actual consistent and simple truths about economics and politics in the world. And Trump is infinitely worse than an average Republican. He’s likely to crash the entire economy, or worse.

Oh, I don't disagree, but they definitely seem to be in a "rip the copper outta the walls and run" pattern of behavior right now. Quick Buck / pump'n'dump / whatever rather than a functioning economy.
Plus, when economies crash, rich people can just buy everything for pennies and sit on it.
