This take on the outrage movement from the perspective of the IT world is *quite* entertaining, and I have not even gotten halfway through it yet!

@ProfWorr I think you might find this entertaining, as well...
So, likely, would many of the NA Dudes Named Ben/Dudettes Named Bernadette...
#2a I was just thinking about strategy regarding Virginia... I think it is considered better tactics to use hit and run by a smaller force against a bigger force. And also that those who have a base usually must defend that base.
So why not delay the threat? Not march Monday, postpone to Wednesday? Then postpone to Friday. Then to Monday again. Wear down central authority, cost them financially in staying prepared... Granted, it is tax payer money, but they only have so much each year...
JCD is obviously *still* not a Douglas Adams fan...
Based on their actions, it really seems like the US should have a 5-10 year moratorium on Democrats in leadership positions. Have a 5-10 year time-out and reflect on the wrongs that have been committed. And if the Republicans get caught (again) doing same, they too should experience a moratorium. Rand Paul may have said it best: 453 random people off the street would be better than the current members of congress.

944 Trillion Reasons Why The Fed Is Quietly Bailing Out Hedge Funds
Published on Sun, 19 Jan 2020 02:19:00 GMT
Read time: 10 minutes (2,008 words)
> This brings us to the punchline, namely the reason why clearinghouses have emerged as the weakest link in the Frankenstein monster of a market that the Fed has created over the past decade, and why the Fed is, quietly, preparing to backstop hedge funds and clearinghouses themselves during the next crisis.

Progress Update For The Gab Community
We had an incredibly productive and successful week as a team. There’s a huge update to social going live this weekend that fixes several existing bugs and issues including post scheduling, the notification counter, “read more” sizing for bigger posts, groups have been added to search results, and more. In the process of deploying this update tonight/tomorrow.
Chat is going through a final weekend of testing. After spending an extra few weeks on encryption we are ready to get version one in the hands of everyone. We know you are all very excited about chat, thank your for your patience while we spent the extra time necessary to do get encryption where we wanted it to be. So important for your privacy to get this right.
We had one of our best weeks for revenue in a long time. Our short term goal is to get Gab cash flow positive as soon as possible so we can build, sustain, and grow the right way. We’re working on a way for you all to track our progress towards this goal from within Gab.
This upcoming week we will begin the frontend refractor of Gab Social and will be working on big improvements to Gab Trends including Search, categories, bookmarking your favorite news articles into collections, and more.
I have never been more optimistic, hopeful, and excited for the future of the growing Gab community.
Thank you all for your continued support. Please pray that the team can execute the ambitious roadmap we have for this quarter and the rest of this year leading up to the election and beyond.
Hey @adam - A few shows back I believe you and JCD were trying to remember the name of the other line of electronics available through Radio Shack/Tandy - Was it Archer? I am sitting here at my station, I looked over at a power strip that I have had for 3 decades (or more) and that is where I got it...

"Trade Deals" are government-managed trade.
Government-managed trade is political, which means politically-connected industries benefit.
Free Trade is the only "trade deal" that benefits everyone. NO government interference with the economic lives of Americans.

But instead of Free Trade, we have a crony system that many Americans despise -- the marriage of corporations and government, always working hand-in-hand.

As usual, Chris is at his most entertaining, if not alarming:
