This is an old article I had tucked away in my bookmarks reading it now makes when it was published look like an understatement. FTA: "Eight years ago, with the publication of Susan Jacoby's The Age of American Unreason, our country had a debate about whether its citizens were becoming less intelligent. This year, we had a debate about how big Donald Trump's penis is. While we have not resolved the latter, we have answered the former. Former means first, and latter means second."
Apple Inc. is removing its most advanced encrypted security feature for cloud data in the UK, a stunning development that follows the government ordering the company to build a backdoor for accessing user data.
The UK government has demanded to be able to access encrypted data stored by Apple users worldwide in its cloud service. Currently only the Apple account holder can access data stored in this way - the tech giant itself cannot view it. The demand has been served by the Home Office under the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), which compels firms to provide information to law enforcement agencies.
That's according to a report by the Federal Aviation Administration that was obtained by The Associated Press. read more
A new strain of avian influenza has been identified for the first time in the United States, raising concerns that the virus is transforming in a way that could eventually cause wider outbreaks among humans. U.S. officials disclosed the discovery of the virulent H5N9 strain at a California duck farm in a report in recent days to the World Organization for Animal Health, which maintains a database of animal disease threats.
Anyone else notice how hapless and witless Fishpaw is? Can't even manage a cohesive fact based rebuttal or comment.
Fish... You know that thing you have ranted against in the past? Indoctrination? You have been indoctrinated and for a long time. I know you won't believe this but you have been slurping at the right wing sewer of propaganda, misinformation and deflections for years. I accept there is probably no help for folks like yourself but here is a video that may help you and those in your situation: A Killing of the Mind

I didn't realize it was that bad. Look Tesla started with a good premise and was full of people with a goal. The problem is they always had a dictator at the helm. He built the company but doesn't seem capable of running it. That goes along with his current foray into government.
Mark McCann just did an AWESOME take down on Tesla. -YouTube In summary, he goes after a couple key questions: What is Tesla doing with the money for reserving vehicles? Why is it impossible to get my down payment back? They even canceled the production of 2 vehicles he had reserved because they canceled the model period but still no money back. Is a class action in the future?

Save money? These firings will end up costing FAR more. Especially with Unions involved. I mean they already are costing us I am sure in inefficiencies and vacancies in jobs needed to make things happen.
Note: I am not saying that trimming employee headcount in the government is necessarily bad. What is bad is the vindictive, haphazard and false accusations coming with these firings. There is no plan, rhyme or reason for what they are doing.
