Packers fans unite on Twitter...

I’m not greedy. I’ll be waiting for my check this $1,200 Christmas! Per individual!

My needs, like yours, are simple. We're just simple men, doing simple things ... I'll take $1200 and run too ... but you have to expect that Musk will then probably send you a 1099 and say you're one of his 'vendors". Believe it or not, there is a very well known real estate "mogul" who used to send vendors 1099's for their services -- except that he/she/it never paid them after the work was done.

I just quit my job over this kind of bs. The company that I worked for would routinely hire contractors and professional firms to do work. They wouldn't pay so as to use those companies essentially as credit cards. The ones that complained the most or were most valuable would eventually get paid. Many others would just write off the bills after a year or two. It's such a cowardly way of doing business. I couldn't stand being a part of it.

On the plus side, I've now got more time for the Packer Forum!

As for all Social Media ... this site excepted, I don't do any social media. No FB ... definitely no "X" ... and whatever else is out there.

You're not missing much these days. My wife and I own some pretty large message boards (used to be a hobby for her), and they're just a curse. Hate 'em, especially the largest one. That one's gone as soon as we get close enough to the right offer, and good damned riddance. Too much political crap.

I do value Facebook, because it's a really great way to keep in regular contact with friends going back as far as the early 60s, and share what's happening in our lives... plus, of course, cat videos.

I had a presence on Twitter for several years, and it was very useful for professional networking and making new contacts. It wasn't that big of an account (fewer than 10,000 followers), but I enjoyed it and got good results from it.

When Elon bought it, that was the end. It's nothing but a 120-decibel scsreaming match, all politics all the time. I just can't be around that and still think straight. It's not even about which side you like and which side you don't; it's just the constant shouting and insults by both sides. I get as sick of the people who agree with as me I do the people who don't; I just don't want to be in the middle of that crap.

I don't understand why so many people do... why so many people aren't happy unless they're enraged at somebody...

Wife comes at me with her phone going "You have to see this..." I cross my index fingers at her.

Lol!
