holy crap Elon, do I have to show you how to do everything?!!
It's Florida. We have lightning. Learn to deal.
1. Launch a sounding rocket from a nearby pad to trigger the lightning, thereby temporarily draining the local electrostatic potential.
2. GO BABY GO GO GO!
like a Boss that ain't 'fraid of no litenin'
3. PROFIT.

Wow, I suck at musical trivia. Was the "Guess Who".
In pennance, let me offer a start:

Canadian girlfriend you just made her up
Canadian girlfriend, she ain't real
Canadian girlfriend you just made her up
Canadian girlfriend she don't exist

Say C, say A, say N
Say A, say D, I
Say A, N

Canadian girlfriend you just made her up
Canadian girlfriend you just made her up
Canadian girlfriend she ain't real

Canadian girlfriend, don't spy on me
Canadian girlfriend, mama let me be
Don't come hangin' around my door
I don't wanna see your face no more

I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' in GITMO with you
Now woman, I said stay away
Canadian girlfriend, listen what I say

Canadian girlfriend, get away from me
Canadian girlfriend, mama let me be
Don't come knockin' around my door
Don't wanna see your shadow no more

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, I said get away
Canadian girlfriend, listen what I say

Canadian girlfriend, said get away
Canadian girlfriend, listen what I say
Don't come hangin' around my door
Don't wanna see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes

Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away from me
Canadian girlfriend, mama let me be

Go, gotta get away, gotta get away
Now go, go, go, I'm gonna leave you, woman
Gonna leave you, woman
Bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye, bye-bye

You're no good for me
I'm no good for you
Gonna look you right in the eye
Tell you what I'm gonna do

You know I'm gonna encrypt my mail
You know I'm gonna go
You know I'm gonna leave
You know I'm gonna go, woman

I'm gonna leave you, woman
Goodbye, Canadian girlfriend

"Canadian Girlfriend" -- on of Grand Funk's less successful songs.

once that earworm's run it course, can somebody please post a set of plausible lyrics to that song?

If a man with a gun tells you not to video something, requests you to erase a recording or confiscates your phone, really what are you going to do about it? Doesn't matter what the law says until after the fact.

You can't seriously propose that companies pay money into employee pensions as they contractually agreed to, now can you?
What are you, some sort of caveman from the 20th century?

We're much more enlightened and self-reliant here in the 21st century. Employees are responsible for taking their own money and invest in the only game in town.
The fact that the game is designed to be rigged six ways from Sunday is beside the matter.
