Netflix has closed out its worst year in more than a decade, with its stock plunging more than 50 percent and wiping out a staggering $136 billion in market value.

For 2022, Netflix shares dropped 50.6 percent, the most the stock has declined on an annual basis since 2011. For the first time, the once-invincible company lost subscribers for two consecutive quarters, ushering in a period of painful belt-tightening that has included several hundred layoffs.

At this point the trial and 2020 debacle is a clear indication that the elections especially in Ari has serious integrity issues.
I think that FBI has kompromat on a lot of people in positions of power. FBI has access to all social media activities of everyone on all platforms including gmail, , save now for Twatter that Elon bought out.

"Nice little photos you downloaded, would be a shame if they were leaked".... Or something like that.

The left took over Twitter? Huh? Twitter was founded in San Francisco, CA. That should give you an idea of it's origin. But, I can't go though your post correcting it. It's a mishmash of pseudo-facts, misinformation, and weird inferences. I think wherever you are getting your info is purposefully misleading you. Try some new sources. Here is one whose legal and national security analysis I find useful and is generally spot on. https://twitter.com/emptywheel You don't have to trust her analysis, but she always links the primary sources/documents when she can. At the minimum it's a good counter to whatever info you are getting. And If you confident in what you believe, a differing perspective shouldn't threaten you.
I am getting that info from Twitter files. Released by elon Musk. That emptywheel smells like a crackpot liberal. Maybe its an FBI disinfo account

Ben, saying it's "Bidens economy" assumes Biden has such powers which he obviously hasn't got, I would have you consider. Saying that, "Bidens economy" is a good misname for a depression that is likely to turn out to last decades if not a generation or two, barring a war.

People are losing their jobs because the free money tap that filled the buckets of some for decades has been turned off to fight the inflation it caused.
Thats why Biden lied about creating 1m jobs while in reality he only added 10k

Breaking... Mr Musk will begin to sack Tesla staffs very soon. shocked

Tesla to freeze hiring, lay off employees next quarter: report

Wed, December 21, 2022

(Reuters) -Another wave of layoffs are coming at electric-car maker Tesla Inc in the next quarter, news website Electrek reported on Wednesday, citing a source familiar with the matter.

Tesla is also going to freeze hiring, according to the report. The company did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.

Shares of Tesla rose 1% to $139.25 in trading before the bell.




The reported move comes at a time when Tesla investors have raised concerns over Chief Executive Elon Musk's distraction with managing Twitter, the social media platform he bought for $44 billion in October.

Moreover, Tesla analysts have also cut their price targets on the stock worried that weakness in demand from China will weigh on the EV maker's deliveries next year.

Musk in June said Tesla would reduce its salaried workforce by roughly 10% over the next three months.

IjeBos:
I'll give credit for that.
1.) None of that bothers me. Twitter was started by liberals, as I said before they believe in speech and ideas and ways to have those ideas reach everyone. Those employees understood the vision of Twitter. And because it was successful, one can argue their vision was good and well executed. That being said Twitter even when it was Publicly traded was still a for profit company and the board had a fiduciary responsibility to it's shareholders and that means a responsibility to keep it's advertisers happy. If advertisers would not advertise on a site that allowed certain things like antisemitism and racism, they would filter it out. Even then, they had a deliberative process in place to deal with it. Trump, like all things he did, pushed the boundaries, stress tested the system and put the owners in an impossible situations. But, I think they did the best they could weighing all potential harms. And in the US Freedom of Speech isn't absolute in the realm of Government protected rights let alone Private Rights.
Twitter was a free speech platform.. Every view palatable view was allowed. Then the left took it over and started banning users at the behest of politicians and FBI. For instance if you tweeted that the covid vaccine is not a vaccine because it will not prevent infection Twitter would ban you.Twitter was not making profits, its pathetic that FBI refunded them $3.1m for the time taken to censor views the FBI did not like,. Twitter went all out censoring any view they did not like , factual or not.

2.) All this happened during the Trump Presidency. And you are talking about a very Conservative FBI, let by a Republican Trump appointed Director. I'm not sure the argument. The conservative FBI wanted to go after conservative Trump so that liberals could win? If the FBI is that mendacious, wouldn't they have gone after Liberals to put conservatives in power all those years during the Obama administration. At some point facts have to win out.
Trump was under siege from day one He could not appoint a director without Mitch ... a trade off Chris Wray the curent director was not his first choice for instance,. If Trump wanted a budget approved approved he had to nominate RINOs.. Thats how you ended up with Rosenstein and Wray .The RINOs never wanted Trump , but they needed his endorsement in elections after which they could easily backstab,

3.) Compare the Twitter of pre-Musk to it now. No matter how many employees donated to Dems (Not saying that 95% number is accurate), how many times did Twitter leadership come out and OPENLY support Democrats? Or trash Republican Leaders? Or tell Twitter members how to vote? You seem to be looking hard and reading tea leaves for evidence of partisanship under Dorsey while ignoring the overt Partisanship with Musk
.

Actually the 99% in 2022. The 96 figure is from 2018.

4.) I assure you there are more ex FBI agents working in companies that favor Republicans than vice versa. And all the rest of the "twitter files" stuff seems to be standard fare amongst the FBI and US companies. Read some counter analysis/opinions on the twitter files from agents/lawyers who've worked at the FBI.
There were so many ex FBI agents that they had formed a template. Image attached to Jim Baker showing where the 401ks would be channeled to once they joined Twitter Jim Baker was fired from FBI and joined twitter as General Counsel.[/quote]The whole FBI is corrupt and sordid and rotten and should be disbanded.

Other image shows Tiwitter employees donations. A leftist paradise for real.

You are tiresome. You really googled it and picked the part that you thought would help your argument without actually fully reading or understanding it.

Harry Reid ended the Filibuster jut for non-Supreme Court justices because Republicans had weaponized it.
Mitch McConnel then ended it for Supreme Court justices.

You should have already learned not to argue with me.
Ill check this .. If Im wrong Ill admit.


Yes I am wrong..

What do you think about this.? Twitter had a lot of ex FBI including the General counsel.
Between 2018 and 2022 96% of donations from Twitter employees went to the Democrats.

Factually wrong. Mitch McConnel ended the Filibuster for Supreme Court Judges through the Nuclear options when Trump was elected after not allowing a vote on Obama's Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland.

Google is your friend.
Why do you have to lie. Mitch did not end the filibuster Harry Reid did.

Tp be more correct the filibuster is still exists. Harry Reid paved the way for Supreme court nominations via Simple majority

Not done my research.. I think lberals are fewer than conservatives, Liberals are more noisier than their opponents Makes them appear more
In the last elections liberals votes were less , Joe Biden in the last election won less counties than Obama yet had most votes in history. Actually he had just below 500 while Drumph had 2500 or so nearestr.Liberals and leftists I think cheat in elections.BIgly

How you tie charges to facts is why I call you brainessX

Who will charge the FBI and why will they be charged?

I don't know where you are getting Trump's DOJ and admit LOGICALLY stating the FBI was not part of the effort to shut down that story. Mark Z... is saying they were involved, and on Twitter, Musk has revealed they were involved. You are just here feeding your bias.

mumu, again, charge, in this case, cannot be linked to Facts. the DOJ and FBI will not charge themselves... How much of an embarrassment can you be to yourself?

that is your opinion and as such subjective, my opinion is that a partisan senator gaetz is trying to brow beat an FBI official into accepting his accusations as actionable fact and my opinion is also subjective so let's focus on facts then,
Fact, the FBI official repeatedly responded that when the FBI can establish actual evidence or facts, they don't come to Congress to yap about it, they go to court, they are not in court against the hunter Biden currently, neither did they do that when trump was president and bill Barr head of the DOJ, the logical implication is that despite gaetz's yapping, they can't establish his allegations for a fact.
Fact, hunter has been investigated by the FBI and the state of Delaware before and no such charges as gaetz insinuated was brought against him or his father Joe

good, good, you're learning, you're taking a smarter tack than the self opinionated dolt called benalvino3 and quoting directly from the report. Now my question for you is this, all the excerpts you quoted, singly or combined together, do they validate a charge of either conspiracy and/or censorship against the FBI and both Facebook and Twitter? Mind you I am asking of "charge" not "allegation", one is legally actionable the other not so much.
Also forgive me this one foray into whattaboutism, if I concede to you the allegations part from a conservative perspective, in what terms will you then describe the actions of fox entertainment network over the years of refusing to carry news items like the January 6 hearings, anchors and hosts advising and conversing with the then President Trump on policy issues and framing of news items? Will same conspiracy and fraud accurately cover these same allegations/charges? Or do your standards apply only to one spectrum of the news outlets?
