Years ago, at a social event in San Francisco, I met someone gentlemen who were working to secure the critical power infrastructure from cyber attack. I don't recall the name of their company, not that it matters - they were contractors for Uncle Sam.
They seemed competent. One had even read Amory Lovins' excellent and very relevant book "Brittle Power". Of course it was a social event, we didn't discuss work in great detail.
So it seems to me that fedgov does care, at least a little bit, about securing the power grid.
Have you ever wondered why Feminist organizations are so richly bankrolled by the global financial oligarchy and the various national intelligence services?
The various usury cabals fund Feminist causes as a divide and conquer tactic in their ongoing war against the global working class. Feminist ideology sets husband against wife, neighbor against neighbor, destroying families and communities wherever it goes. A divided society is a society that can be more easily robbed by bankers and similar parasites.
USIC generously funds radical Feminist NGOs in Russia and the former Soviet republics. The Russian and Chinese intelligence agencies bankroll crazy-eyed Feminist groups in America. All for the same reason: it's a culture-killer. Like a pathogen it weakens its host culture and makes it more susceptible to opportunistic attack.
The ideology of Feminism is essentially a death cult - it runs contrary to all nature, religion, art, and culture. Feminists never have and never will build anything. They can't even build their own organizations without outside support. There is no such thing as grassroots Feminism.
Thus the various national intelligence services bankroll radical Feminist groups in rival/enemy nations. In the former Soviet Union, groups like Femen and Pussy Riot can barely even deny are infamous USIC assets. Rumor has it that NOW, one of the Feminist orgs pushing hard for the SESTA internet censorship bill, receives generous financial backing from the Chinese intelligence services.
Many people say Feminism is cancer. But I encourage you to think of this scourge in a different light: Feminism is low-intensity warfare against our people.
We hear this same claim over and over again - "For every report there are dozens and dozens of perfidious acts that go unreported!!!!!1!!1!!". Bullshit. The gig is up, no one is fooled any longer.
When anyone who has worked in America looks at their *first hand* observations - what you've actually seen among the people you've worked with - it's dramatically different from the semi-official narrative. For every one actual incidence of witchcraft, there are dozens and dozens of false accusations of witchcraft.
It's almost like wannabe petty tyrants *enjoy* witch hunting as a sport.
Hell yeah! Down with weekends! You're gonna work 60 hours a week, and you're f going to kiss the boss's boots when he kicks you. You don't DESERVE a raise, peon! What kind of pussies demand fucking health insurance? Die in the street like a dog, you deplorable.
Fuck unions! Fuck working people! All power to the landlords and money lenders!
The designers of Slashdot are long, long gone. This site's current owners claim to be in the advertising business. Not exactly a noble profession.
Respect is earned. If the new owners make strong public commitments to freedom of speech, and open source the current code, people will probably respect them. Until then, probably not.
There's a "Resistance" I could get into. Restore CmdrTaco to his right and proper role as owner of Slashdot! These goddamned advertising peddlers cannot be trusted with custody of his beautiful creation.
Definitely check out Slashcode, the Free Software release of Slashdot's source from years ago. The workings of the/. moderation system is way more complicated and interesting than I expected.
I see you haven't spent much time in the former manufacturing regions. The Rust Belt has an ongoing 30 year economic depression. The factories are literally in ruins.
All of which you will never never NEVER here a semi-official media outlet report. One must assume any mainstream reporter to mention the topic without using approved (euphemised, misdirected) language would be swiftly purged from the nomenklatura.
That's unsurprising. Our masters and their sycophants demonstrate complete unwillingness to admit the ruinous effects of their economic policies on the people.
It would be likewise unsurprising if the official statistics willfully misrepresent the steep decline of American industrial output.
You're more Establishment than Trump, politically at least.
It is indeed an interesting flavor of our times - and a powerful testament to the corruption of our political system and the villainy of our elite culture - that a silverspoon capitalist like President Trump has become tribune of the people.
This thread, like so many, is infested with creimertards talking to themselves. I used to think it was just some self-righteous progressive sleazebags hazing a kinda clueless loser.
But it's gotten to the point where that hypothesis no longer fits the data. There's just too much of it, it's too pointless, no one cares but they just keep posting again & again.
Oh my brothers, the creimertards are not some smug cowards taunting a fellow nerd. They are a forum disruption operation. Creimer himself is probably a fictional character.
The creimertards' inane and repetitious hate posts are meant to disgust and annoy real users, thereby discouraging public participation. Slashdot in one of the last (mostly) uncensored American sociopolitical discussion forums. Its cultural importance far exceeds the size of its userbase.
Free discussion has many well-financed enemies, foreign and domestic alike. So its interesting to speculate on who hired the creimertards, and out of what troll farm they operate. The writing has a tone of smarmy self-satisfaction typical of Hillaryists, but the content of the messages has no strong political slant.
Now get ready for the stock talking-points reply about how Slashdot isn't important enough to have trolls. Despite the fact we can all see/. has become a significant memetic warfare battlefield.

Yeah. They're not spying on people nearly as much as they could be. Gotta catch up to the Goog!
The quality of their search results has been slowly declining for years.
I believe the correct term is not "survival of the fittest" but rather "economically suicidal public policy".

Good one, Ivan!
The MTA is a "private company" - har har hardy har har.
Yes yes, I know, from a legal-formalist perspective they have no doubt jumped the bureaucratic hoops required to be a "private company".
But any goddamned fool can see they're a government agency. The MTA is about as much a giant plaid avocado as it is a "private company".
I'm going to guess New York spends rather more per rider. NYC is notorious for corruption
Lick those boots!

Slashdot without anonymous comments wouldn't be worth reading. I, for one, value freedom of speech.
If Slashdot's owners really wanted to improve their credibility, they'd make Slashdot open source again.
Not that we have any reason to trust that the code running on the servers is the same as the publicly released code. But it's still a good start.
Domain squatters are social parasites, shit stains on the floor of a public restroom.
I always browse at -1, ALWAYS for years & years. Pretty sure I'm not alone on that.
I can go down to the cellphone store in my neighborhood and buy both Androids and iPhones. Apparently both are quite popular...

Perhaps because they have a childlike faith in the good intentions of large, powerful, notoriously corrupt institutions?

Sure. And the Soviet Union had record harvests during Stalin's famines, according to official statistics. But you don't really believe that, do you?
