Shut up, Doomer.
The Resident shouted just today, The economy's great!
Well, with Amazon and Facebook there were massive increases over the pandemic period. Now, I know sweet bugger all about the stock market, but it seems like a re-adjustment isn't exactly surprising.
Obviously, things are going south too.

FB seems important to small towns & rural folk in my province. It’s a news line for everything. I feel a bit left out not having an account, Maybe it’s important because their newspapers have died, church happens only twice a week, radio targets cities, and winter can isolate people from each other? Even town councils, RCMP & local schools post on FB. IG seems slow to take hold here, but it’s growing. Twitter too. I remember a few yrs back an active shooter situation in a town where I stay often .. the town’s public FB page lit up like an old time party-line as people sheltered in place giving updates, calling on their friends & family worried of their safety. Maybe FB is like this in rural America too?

Their VR Goggles are pretty nice - easily the best value for money available.

What are they called and what can you do with them?
It may be fun to get some.

I'd say you're right.

Indeed. Our small-ish suburb (about 9500 people) has a pretty active FB page. I'll see stuff there long before it's apparent on newsfeeds, etc.
"Why are there helicopters hovering over town?"
"Aqua's sister paid a visit."
That kind of stuff.

Meta Quest 2 are the ones I got. Sadly, I think the price increased recently. They used to be called Oculus Quest.
You mostly play games on them - either stand-alone or connected to a gaming PC. They also double as a TV, so you can watch movies on them on Amazon, for example. They are a bit cumbersome to wear for long periods of time.

@Doctor-Phibes Thanks!!! I will investigate them.
