Unnecessary and deeply concerning bow to the new "king"

Update: position got backed up by an official Proton post on Mastodon, it's an official Proton statement now. https://mastodon.social/@protonprivacy/113833073219145503

Update 2, plot-twist: they removed this response from Mastodon - seems they realize it exploded into their face!

Things are taking a wild turn.

Guy is anti union, anti strikes, anti publically accessible healthcare, anti cheaper healthcare, anti snap, anti helping the homeless, anti paying overtime, and pro taxing the populous via tariffs while lowering taxes for the ultra rich. He doesn't want regulations on price gouging/increases for food, housing....

For the working class how? Fucking joke that people think anything he does is for them

Edit: throw in, against VA funding and shits on the military just about anytime he doesn't get exactly what he wants

Unfortunately that was misinterpreted. If you go back to the original tweet in question, it is clear from the context that that [little guy, n.d.r] is about "little tech" vs "big tech".

From one of Andy's comments on Reddit.

So the target of that sentence is not "the working class", and the conversation is way more specific about tech/monopolies.

And don't forget massive deportation efforts that totally won't hurt a single little guy.

You mean the short staffed construction companies, which means increased costs to get houses built and repaired... Surely that won't increase insurance costs when repair costs go up. Good job Florida, combat high insurance prices by cutting the labor market of those doing the work. Oops

I had a hunch about proton all along but I didn't care to check into it. Glad I never bought any of their product.
