#FUNFACT - Facebook didn't turn a profit for the first 7 yrs of life. https://counter.social is almost 4 yrs old & has met its running costs (broken even) one month out of 48.

I was walking through a shopping neighborhood in Berkeley earlier today, and a woman was driving asking with her window rolled down yelling at passersby that COVID is fake and the vaccines give you radiation poisoning. She looked well-off economically, so it wasn't a case of Berkeley's (admittedly significant) mentally ill homeless population
