22 Well, here I am in the early morning with the other dear early risers and insomniacs .😊 I have two prayer requests, one of which I shared before.
My son, K, starts his new job today. It's a six month assignment but may be extended. He came to church yesterday and we prayed for him.. if you are a praying type, I'd appreciate your prayers. He's supposed to go tothe home of the young adult pastor of the evangelical church nearby which he's been attending and he likes the leader and members so that's a blessing. Thanks!

The home nurse and aide for the "retired" elderly organist is in the hospital with GI bleeding and her EKGs have been showing abnormalities . She is a lovely person and we've become friends since my home visits ,or when she comes to church with our former organist. Her name is "E". Thanks so much!

Imagine it. Fedgov goes ham promoting all this middle kingdom spy gear in the national grid thinking its a great way to install a backdoor on the cheap (or on the lazy, in so far as they're shopping with other people's money). Then when they go to ask the manufacturers for the back door key, all they hear is "LOLGF" in Chinese. So *now* it's a big problem we all have to care about.

But all those internet cranks saying it's been a problem for years are still cranks because without evidence. Or something.

60 Also, all this equipment we never had until relatively recently, that was all installed within a few years, at likely enormous cost, is now an eternal and permanent fixture of the information grid that it would be madness to yank the hell back out and put something else in.

61 The U.S. is spending $2 trillion more on healthcare than in 2010. Yet Americans aren’t healthier, as a new paper by the Paragon Health Institute observes. Mortality rates for 25- to 64-year-olds from major medical causes, such as hypertensive diseases, diabetes and neurologic conditions, climbed between 2009 and 2019
---------------
The WSJ writer Alyssia Finley makes the point ObamaCare, by nationalizing many health decisions and payment mechanisms, has caused massive deterioration of our national medical care. As an extra, the system has pissed people off to the point some people are cheering the shooting of a bureaucratic functionary at UnitedHealth, albeit a really highly paid one.

I just had a colonoscopy a week ago and had to sign about thirty different times before they could do that simple thing.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at December 09, 2024 05:41 AM (jGxgu)

62 In an honest accounting of the numbers, if such a thing were even possible anymore, I'd be willing to bet there's actually far less being spent on health care than there once was.

More on "healthcare", certainly. Massively. But less on health.

63 If i pay a guy to pay a guy to pay a guy to go grocery shopping for me, and I'm obligated to do the same for two or three neighboring households as well, it might be technically true to say I'm spending more on groceries than ever before. True, but not very informative.

64 Once a box is installed and starts carrying traffic it's very difficult to replace with a different box. Not impossible buy lots of time and money that can be spent elsewhere.

I think the Fed incentivizing the replacements is a good idea. Just make sure the money isn't squandered in the usual management churn.

There should be some Federal level task force pushing this but I'm sure the Chinese agents in DC will do their best to scuttle it.

Maybe a Data Free National Holiday where everything is shut down like it would be during an actual and eventual attack would get peoples attention.

Most folks take our data infrastructure for granted and don't know/care how fragile and pervasive it is.

The Constitution trumps any statutes or enforcement of same. The power of pardon granted to the President (Article Two, Section 2, Clause 1) has been held by the Courts to be very wide. The only thing explicitly excepted from a Presidential Pardon is cases of Impeachment.

We may not like what's happening now with what Biden's doing with his power of pardon, but it's consistent with William Blackstone's ratio: "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer."

I recently had a birthday (yeah, 29 squared) and an offspring three states away who is very busy with a young family sent me a digital gift card for Panera Bread.
