If you're wondering why every bloody thing feels like it's a front in the #Culture #War these days, it's because #socialmedia #algorithms actively promote that kind of #tribalism for #fun and #profit.

The Great Resignation is over in that layoffs and hiring freezes mean employees can’t threaten to quit and expect companies to bend over backwards to retain.
