I’d be pissed if I was one of these companies that supposedly already started building factories in the USA

Fed up with Reddit’s owners, so I stopped my daily use. I did like Reddit more because of some well moderated and active subreddits, and I do occasionally pop my head in over there once a week or so to stay informed, but I spend almost all of my time here and on mastodon now.

I had a similar relationship with Facebook around 2015. Stopped pretty much entirely except for when I need to engage with Facebook marketplace, and I generally try to use Craigslist first.

The traditional “leverage” is just the standard CEO - stockholder relationship. The CEO manages the company well and the stockholders reward the CEO with payment and/or by making the stock price go up by buying more and/or not selling. IMO that basic relationship broke down a while ago, but the stock market has been unhinged for so long that it seemed to not matter.
