It is your job to make it so, citizen.

4 from the Warren bill article:

"The Biden administration recently backed a separate proposal from Democratic Senator Gary Peters and Republican Senator Rob Portman that would require attacks on federal agency networks and contractors to be reported to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency."

What if they just go ahead and nationalize all American companies and be done with it.

12 Mornin', all,

Up to go work out, and decided I'm not really up for it after all. Not quite halfway through the week and it seems like a looong slog until Friday afternoon, huh?

It occurred to me today that, if my employer denies my religious exemption from the clot shot and fires me for not taking it, for my last 2 weeks I'll make a point of going everywhere without a face diaper. "What are ya gonna do, fire me?"

I haven't submitted the religious exemption paperwork yet. They say we have until 10/15 to do that, and until 11/15 to give them proof (if not exempt) that we've been stuck with the poison. But I'm prepared to move forward, see what time-off hours they have to pay me if I retire, etc.

If they fire me without warning? I document everything, as I'm doing now, and head to an attorney for a nice wrongful termination suit while I apply for SS and pension and unemployment.

25 As for being fired, yes, I suppose I'd better clear off all my personal files from my computer, and work only on my private stuff on a flash drive. Just in case.

I haven't been fired or laid off in 20 years. I'm out of practice.

Looks like I get to take some vinyl siding off the house from around one of the windows. Heavy rain with blowing wind, and suddenly there is water dripping from the top of the window inside the house. I suspect improper window frame installation, and sealing during the building of the house.

67 How is "make it illegal to not inform law enforcement" the same as "make it illegal to be a victim"?

I mean, I'm not a huge fan of law enforcement, nor of talking to them, but I'm not seeing the connection here. Bribery and corruption and so on are always two-person crimes. Both parties ARE guilty of criminal behavior, the party initiating it and the one going along with it.

Same logic as why it was US govt policy in a saner era to never pay ransom. Once you pay him the Dane-geld, you never get rid of the Dane.

79 In fact, thinking about it, just going to your extreme and explicitly making it illegal to be a victim of these things isn't that terrible an idea. Yeah ransomware attacks would totally still happen but there'd be a fairly strong marginal shift toward being more careful instead of just treating it as a cost of doing business. And you could apply punishments specifically to the people who were responsible - the people who designed the IT infrastructure that was penetrated, the people tasked with implementing security in the particular system penetrated, and the people who chose to pay the ransom. All of them get Chinese-style punishment, pour encourager les autres.

And yeah that might just result in the total collapse of the whole information age economy and a return to paperwork and railroads. And that's not a terrible idea either.

What if the government decided try to say that receiving the vaccine made so much sense that only a mentally ill person would refuse the shot.

And...once declared mentally ill based upon vaccine refusal, your right to own a firearm was then lost, and the mental health police, along with a firearm recovery team were deployed to your home.

Morning Horde. bloody long day ahead. again... coffe is ready tho.

and as to this bit m, they wouldn't nationalize all the companies because that is fascist and only the evil republicans are fascists.

they just tell the companies what they want and threaten to destroy them if they don't comply...

Sadly, the piano player died in the summer, The organist is about 94 and still playing, God bless her. Thanks for asking.
The man who downloads the music onto a laptop in case the organist can't play is FenSpouse who has to have heart catherization and stents put in (if he needs them) tomorrow and possibly stay overnight.
