Well, among other things, he revealed that:

1) The NSA intercepts and stores virtually all communications sent on electronic networks anywhere it can reach. Not just metadata. In the case of phone calls, they also speech->text them and make that archive searchable.

2) The NSA constantly works at ways to break into encrypted communications, including hacking into the VPNs of supposedly friendly governments.

I'm not sure there's anything to fix. A lot more women than men are naturally nurturers. And any guy that wants to work with kids is automatically a suspected pedophile :/

I just disagree that the reason so many more women are teachers than men is money. I know I wouldn't want to be a teacher, you couldn't pay me enough to be around kids all day.
