396,500,000 registered users and 15,085,458 voted.
3.8% of Twitter voted.
52% said yes to Trump. 7,844,438 people.
1.98% of registered voters said yes in a dumb poll posted on one man's Tweet. A man who is only followed by 1/3 of all registered users.

It sickens me the direction this country has chosen to go in the last few years https://www.theguardian.com/society...s-bet365-online-betting-hannah-jane-parkinson
CBS News said they were pausing any official activity on Twitter (and apparently recommending employees do the same on their personal accounts). Predictably, Musk dog whistles his minions to attack them. And then he insults his userbase - aka his product - by calling them addicts and saying they won't delete even if Trump is back.
I mean, he's not wrong on that (mostly) but nothing says "please keep making content for me" like insulting the people that make it.

I'm guessing Drew is referring to the rapid legalization of sports betting across the US, plus the rise of online casinos and sportsbooks that are rumored to act as fronts for mob money laundering. And the lack of adequate help and support for addicts.

There was a pretty good article from the NYT about this that was published this weekend. It's really bad.

By which you mean that you’re regretting helping to push the country in this direction? Or do you still lack any shred of self-awareness?
This is what “freedom” looks like - the rich and powerful are free to prey on the weak, with no checks and balances to stop them. Of course the rich are in favor of small government; raping the poor is a feature, not a bug.

Never Forget!
For those still using Twitter, make a list of friends and trusted accounts whose content you actually want. Then follow the list. This has several benefits, but chief among them are
1) you won't see ads. I only read my private list and never see any advertisements or promoted tweets. That also means Elon doesn't make any ad revenue off you.
2) you won't see the garbage that fills most of Twitter. Whatever you perceive "garbage" to be. Politics, sports, whatever. Unless one of your friends retweets it you'll never see it.
3) you'll continue to see the tweets that matter to you even if the people you follow don't spend the $8/month. It's your list so you see everyone on it, regardless of verification status.
This could change, theoretically. But since Elon fired or chased away most of his staff, it is doubtful.

Correct. The woman lives in blighty but in the story mentions how rapid gambling is expanding here.

Sorry. Personal responsibility. Bootstraps. Rugged individualism.
Quit coddling the losers and the weak.
