Eh, so what? Who would do differently in her situation?
She boxed herself into a corner. That's her own fault. Everybody's human, and everyone makes mistakes. If you're just 6 weeks away from a lifetime pension, who wouldn't ride that out?
Signal was spun out og WhatsApp after Meta/Facebook acquisition
That's false.
Signal was always its own thing. Going back to 2014 under the Signal name and 2010 under a predecessor name. It's open source software, and other companies are free to use the same security protocols. Meta and Whatsapp and I believe now X use those same security protocols in their apps.
You might be mixing the control and ownership of Signal up with the massive exodus of Whatsapp users to Signal a few years ago. That was because Meta bought Whatsapp, and they are inherently untrustworthy. Signal already existed as a separate entity which justified the exodus.
Government is a leech on society
The "jobs" it creates are at the expense of the private sector. Limited government is what our founders had in mind. There are some things that make sense for a government to fund, like the military, border patrol, embassies, etc. But the founders never envisioned the federal government being the 2nd largest employer in the country.
The phrase for this is IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY
All of these parts function together, and if any piece is missing the whole thing fails. There are many examples of this in nature.
