As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.

After a self-described "alpha male" tried to troll Greta Thunberg with a bizarre tweet boasting of having "33 cars," Thunberg made him absolutely regret it.

The climate activist needed just two short sentences to reduce him to ashes. 🔥

When will they ever learn: do not come for Greta unless she sends for you.

REMEMBER: “Elon Musk admitted to his biographer that the reason the Hyperloop was announced—even tho he had no intention of pursuing it—was to try to disrupt the California high-speed rail project to get in the way of that actually succeeding.” — @parismarx in #Gizmodo

The overriding ethos of Silicon Valley for the past decade or so has been to grow fast then exit before people can figure out if it’s a good business or not.

An interesting question is if VCs & founders will pivot to creating businesses or just cut costs and ride it out to the next bull market?

To Recap:
•72% of GA WW voted for Kemp over Abrams—a Black woman
•57% of NC WW voted for Budd over Beasley—a Black woman
•57% of FL WW voted for Rubio over Demings—a Black woman

But right now as Black women on TikTok follow other BW for solidarity—WW are outraged b/c apparently that's unfair to WW🤦🏽‍♂️

Imagine denying incredible BW access to the halls of power, but feeling discriminated against because you're not centered in a conversation on a social media app. smh we have work to do y'all.
