This is going to be quite long winded, but it's a revelation that you should probably come to understand in greater detail, if we are ever going to comprehend what is at the bottom of many horrible hings happening in the world today.

With my somewhat limited comprehension for the bloated and ever more intricate inner workings of governance and economics, I've seen that there's two levels that effected the outcomes that eroded public trust and led to the economic ruin of many businesses. One exists at the federal level, and the other at a local level.

The federal level responded to the local level, when local financial interests were being curtailed by push back, with those who may have invested in stock and shares in things like face masks, hand sanitizers, plexi-glass being placed on commercial counters, directional apparatus like the signage stickers that were placed to maintain one directional flows of customers through commercial spaces...etc.

When the push back occurred, and people refused to participate with businesses that enforced the use of all those mandated control measures, it left the local business with a massive reduction and deficit with regards to a return on their investment into the control apparatus, that they were commercially obligated to install into their businesses.

When the people began to refuse supporting businesses that had invested into those control measures, they plummeted into that deficit in the absence of the commercial activity that was needed to secure the returns that those control measures demanded, in order to stay afloat, and in business. Many have still not fully recovered, if at all.

The pleas of local businesses got passed up the chain to the federal level, who then initiated the emergencies act as a kind of scare tactic, like a way of saying "either support the local businesses who are left with a lack of return on their investment, or we will seize your incomes to compensate them, and subsidize that deficit"

Am I hitting on anything close to how it came about? Because ultimately, the entire roll out of those imposed control measures is what not only pushed the consumers into non-compliance or willingness to fill the demand to cover the local commercial deficits, but also created those deficits in the first place, by imposing those mandated measures on the local businesses in the first place.

There were many people since day one of the whole pandemic who tried to warn whoever would listen, that to mandate the control measures over both the businesses and their customers would lead to a total economic disaster, but we were CENSORED online in our efforts to express those concerns.

So how do we hold companies like facebook and Twitter / X responsible for preventing essential communications from taking place at both the local and federal levels? Because if the people, heated as they were, had the freedom to voice those concerns and have them be considered, then the whole string of economic disasters that followed could have been avoided.

Even now, most are likely not to see this post, because of the content filters and algorithms that facebook uses to hide communications that are not sponsored and paid for, where post and comments are hidden in the event that their intention is not to generate any revenue or commercial activity.

People would have to know to go out of their way to find this post, or click on the comment filters that default as "most relevant" where their definition of "relevant" is almost exclusively reserved for those who seek to generate commercial activity.

The sky could be falling, and you could try to warn people about it, and facebook would de-prioritize posts like this, or hide your comments in the "All Comments" category. But if you wanted to sell a fidget spinner with a sponsored post, then it would be prioritized, made visible, and comments aiming to do the same would be pushed into the "most relevant" category, while all the life saving information posts would get de-prioritized, and comments of the same would get pushed into the "All Comments" category which is hidden by default.

And they offer little to no education to their uses on how their comment filters work, so no one knows the wiser. Yet they are still, in the strictly "legal" sense, not held liable in the face of mass online censorship when millions of lives are at stake.

Take Twitter / X at present, as an example of how public communication being limited is largely responsible for many of the negative outcomes. Where these big tech billionaires use their communications monopolies to coral people like cattle towards strictly commercial activity.

If I was to try and make these comments on Twitter / X to help us avoid these kinds of economic failings, then I would first need to pay the alleged "richest man on Earth" $10 / month before I could express any concern over the length that 140 characters would allow, in order to gain any visibility, and avoid getting buried under miles and miles of ads, onlyfans, scams, spam and other commercially centered parties that COULD afford to purchase some "free" speech.

And here on facebook, it's really no different, that sure, I can type more than 140 characters, but if the nature of my communications are not purely focused on trying to sell you something, than the algorithm reduces my reach and visibility, so that no one is likely to see it, no matter how well articulated it is in trying to outline the concerns and observations I have to share.

My point being, there was only so much our government could do to handle the situation in the absence of some effective and timely communications from the citizenry, which was BLOCKED by these communications companies like Twitter / X and facebook, who are somehow overlooked and dismissed from being held accountable for the role they played in preventing essential communications from taking place, in order for both the people and the government to avoid many of the economic damages that occurred to everyone all across the board.

And they are laughing at both the people and the governments by pitting us against each other, rather than examining the intricate causal factors that lead to the ecoonomic disaster that many are now outraged over.

And they made billions of dollars as a reward for interfering with public communications between the people, the businesses and our governments, while all other parties became economically ruined by the whole situation.

Nuff sedd?
