   Even people with the most to lose continue to support and rely heavily on:

   -- Google
   -- Slack
   -- Meta
   -- Microsoft
   -- Apple
   -- Too many others to list

   These orgs cozy up to authoritarianism. They terminate your account for any reason or no reaso at all. They shove AI down your throat.

   And yet, my workplace, union, and so many of the orgs I value and need keep using them and have no plans to ween themselves off. Yes, I realize current dynamics make all of this inevitable.

   So I'm left feeling hopeless and helpless, which is a terrible place to be.
