He is not the one I worry about. My concern is with that army of minions romping through secured files.

We can hope ...

With friends like that who needs enemies?

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
Code does not β€˜wear out’ just because it is old.
A rewrite of a Major system for no good reason is not efficient. It is an ego project. Most ego projects end in disaster.

Tomorrow looks like a good day to stay home and read a book. Maybe get supper at the local family owned asian place. They have a wonderful pho.
I feel like I should do more, but at my age I do not have the stamina to walk a picket line.

They were our first choice for most things, including grocery.
No more.
Forty years ago they were leaders in corporate social responsibility. Now they are just another collection of greedy cowardly bastards.

Sounds like it is time to post the explanation of who you are and are not.
Third grade level this time. Maybe that will work.

Sand in the gears, tacks on the road, and may night time floors be scattered with Legos.

To find common ground with an adversary. This is the way.

This is the kind of news I want to see more of.
Happy children, dogs romping in the snow, cats being cats, and old guys like me explaining to youngsters how things worked before we put computers in everything.

Yep.
You have the right of free speech.
You do not have the right of a life free of consequences.

My wife worked on a project with Bishop(then Reverend) Budde a few years back. She is intelligent, articulate, and has endless empathy. She also has a will of tool steel. She will not be silenced by some grifter with dementia.

Heroes sometimes come in small packages.
Cue the music: Tom Petty’s β€œ Won’t Backdown”.

She has a gentle nature, and boundless empathy, but also a will of tool steel. Trump and his minions would do well not to poke at this lady. It will not end well.

Save the files.
Wait four years and one month.
Start the process over.
His only way to avoid it is to die.

Just think of the screams and crippling results from stepping on Legos.

Why Greenland?
Seems like a poor choice for a golf course

If you don’t eat it, don’t hunt it.

But can they grill a steak without turning it into leather?

Three things there.
Trump yes.
Trump No.
Advertising.

You may want to negotiate use of "I won't back down" from Tom Petty's estate. Worth a try.

Check out β€œThe Forbin Project”. From the late 60s but worth a look.

When I was in junior high we had a civics class for a semester. It included a unit on propaganda. We were also assigned to read and analyse β€œAnimal Farm” by George Orwell.

Do you get combat pay for that assignment?

This is the sort of situation where news people need to step up and do their jobs.
The simple act of sniffing around and asking questions will tend to curb some of the 'special' treatment of certain industries or people.
