During the height of the pandemic, government health officials were doing outreach for vaccines on Tiktok.

This was also supported by the White House

Also several congress people were doing Q/As on Tiktok.

​

At some point, an IT person helping them with this likely voiced their opinion about security and were overruled.

The phone side of Moto (old Motorola Mobility) is just Lenovo, which is why Tiktok is installed on it.

Ubers/ Lyfts from Midtown to Williamsburg are like $45 - $50 each way. I only try to use them when they offer some percent off the next few rides. It'll probably be $60 - $65 by if the economy takes a nose dive. All the tech companies are trying to cut cost by raising prices and laying off staff.

Black Rock has some of the largest fossil fuel investments. Your company shouldn't invest in fossil fuels or we make you look bad. Meanwhile, Blackrock and Vanguard are increasing their interests in fossil fuels. Telling governments to not question them about it. That's the whole point of these "protestors".

Typical corporate speak when companies are desperate:

We need a "top down" "30,000 ft" "360 view" that generates "return on investment" of our "core competencies" to create "synergistic" "disruptors" in the industry using "the dangling carrot" with a bunch of "value adds"
