  1. So they were exfiltrating 10 Gigabytes a day from the contractor's network and nobody noticed?!!

    No problem: sneak one 256 Gig microSD card per day for 3 days.
    Maybe stuck it up his ass.

  2. It has happened before, the world didn't end.

    Nobody is suggesting it will end.
    Only that there will be economic chaos for a while, and politicians hate that.
    They will then try to intervene, making the whole problem worse for a while.

    But that's how autopilot works on planes. Why should we redefine what autopilot means on cars?

    Please tell me what can be done about it

    Get a call blocker - software for mobile, electronic for landlines.
    Search "call blocker" on Amazon.

    I bought one 5 years ago, and it only lets through about 5 -10 a month.

    Because lying to the police was easier to get a conviction for, since they had her lying red-handed on a recording.

    She was investigated for insider trading but they couldn't identify any, so they nailed her on "obstruction of justice," which can mean whatever the DA wants it to mean.

    In this case, it means "lying to the police", which is quite legitimately illegal.

    Personally, I think I should have the option to block private, unavailable, and "unusual" phone numbers automatically.

    You can.
    Just search "call blocker" on Amazon.
    There are software ones for mobiles and electronic ones for landlines.
    I've had one for 5 years and I only get 1 or 2 spam calls a month that get through.

    so they back "renewables" so long as that excludes nuclear.

    Ah, so you base your silly conclusions on the belief that the only reason
    nuclear isn't more popular is because of a conspiracy against it.

    When in fact, the real problem with nuclear is that it is unaffordable,
    with the astronomic cost of construction, maintenance, and waste disposal.
