Where do you get this idea that ICE agents are poorly-trained?

Historically some hard drives did have multiple arms to speed up access. Taken to its logical conclusion, very fast drives were "fixed head", that is, each cylinder had its own set of read-write heads. No movement of arms were necessary. Maybe that'll make a comeback.

I don't think causing your penis to hallucinate is a performance-enhancer...

"Compromise" is different from "surrender". Case in point, since 1934, all compromises on the issue of guns has been in the direction of more restriction. Ask for X and take only X/2. What do I get from the compromise? I get to keep half of my cake. But lately actual freedom has been winning lately, and the control freaks are angry -- like how angry they got after Brown v. Board of Education came down from SCOTUS. The tantrums thrown then and now are incredibly similar.

You're spot on until the sixth paragraph. At that point, you descended into paranoia, delusion, and gaslighting.

I can't tell if it's sloppy writing or the author really thinks so -- it looks like the author is claiming that trades and machine-operator are low-skilled jobs. Administrative? Maybe or maybe not. In any case, there should be a lively market for proofreaders to make sure garbage writing like this is made clearer. But, I don't know. Do they really even give a damn for articles to be written coherently?

It's the I-5 sloth just south of Bellingham Washington.

That's good for dealing with snooping. This is an issue of a government squelching speech because it knows what servers to attack. Maybe a webmail provider that works through TOR would be better.

The best call center staff I ever encountered were from the era of workstations before x86 PCs and Linux completely took over that market. Developers were required to do rotation at tech support. The result of this was that callers would frequently find themselves talking to the person who had a significant hand in creating the software or hardware with which the caller had a problem. That alone resulted in much quicker and satisfying solutions than any script-reader could hope to accomplish, let alone a pseudo-AI program.

I've come to arrange a holiday.

For something like that, I would be inclined to call 911 to report a stuck door keeping people in a building. Then firefighters would pry the thing open, probably destroying the mechanism. Maybe the owner of the thing would be able to get away without charges of false imprisonment and/or civil lawsuits.

Not really:

Then: "Without slaves, who will pick the crops?"

Now: "Without illegal immigrants, who will pick the crops?"

Just whip it.

Why would the DMCA have anything to do with something like this?

Fake footage isn't necessary. You just need footage that DID happen, but continually lie about the circumstances. This technique has proven very reliable.
