SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of San Francisco is seriously considering a resolution renaming the famed Union Square.
The move is an offshoot of the continued business decline in the city’s once-upon-a-time premiere retail center, patronized by tourists and locals alike.
Top retail chains have permanently closed shop not just because of economics but also the prevailing and seemingly uncontrolled crime atmosphere involving not-too-discrete robberies in the area.
As a result, less and less people are visiting Union Square.
The Supes are reportedly considering the new name of “Ghost Square,” and it has nothing to do with the Hollywood movie which starred Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze.
In a plot twist worthy of a Shakespearean comedy, the tables have turned on the once-infallible social media influencers. No longer do they hold the monopoly on the megaphone of public opinion, as ordinary netizens rise from the digital shadows armed with wit and wisdom.
In a viral showdown, a journalist-blogger Krizette Laureta Chu, accustomed to wielding her keyboard like a scepter, found herself humbled by the brilliance of an ordinary netizen’s retort. Gone are the days of unchecked propaganda and self-entitled spin; now, the court of public opinion welcomes all voices, from the highbrow pundit to the humble keyboard warrior.
As the influencer elite scramble to regain their footing in this brave new world of social media satire, one can’t help but revel in the poetic justice of it all. For in the realm of the internet, even the mightiest influencers must bow before the wit and wisdom of the common folk.
