The Social Security Administration is cutting staff from its communications office, and will rely on social media posts instead of press releases to update the media and the public.

Social Security Commissioner Linda Kerr-Davis told employees in a call Thursday that regional offices will no longer issue press releases or letters. Instead, the agency will be using X to communicate to the press and the public.

And X will continue declining in popularity along with Tesla. More competitiors need to spring up against starlink so anyone on that including the government can dump that piece of shit

I was listening to Terry Gross interview some broadband experts about broadband legislation the other day and they mentioned that the White House added a Starlink connection to "boost the WiFi signal." The White House. Probably the single most well connected building on the planet, added a shitty Starlink connection. It was not lost on Terry or the panelists that the whole charade was nothing more than the President of the United States abusing his position to effectively advertise one of his cronies' products.
