They already announced there will be a process for those who lost the coins to have them returned. Hopefully people have kept records that long.

This is more a marketing letter chasing clout from a foundation that has lost their way in broiled in their own controversy filled with misogyny, sexual abuse and is very much a non-inclusive.

Facebook can make filter, hide, and delete content with current laws and a private company. US Government flagging posts for Facebook to censor is absolutely in violation on the constitution regardless if the post is wrong/right/fact/opinion. Remember the uproar about Trump blocking people? How can you be on the side of one but opposite side of the other. I am shocked how the crowd at Slashdot has evolved over the years to now excusing the impediment of the 1st ammendment as long as it suits their politics.

Does anyone remember when Adam Schiff did this to republicans and Democrats didn't care? Remember when Obama administration did this to reporters? I'm sorry, when you were not angry then, you have no right to get mad now. Partisan assholes is what is wrong with America. Call a spade a spade. Both parties do shit like this. IRS? Weaponized? Yep. Oh it helps me, so I'm not going to report on it or discuss it. Used to hurt my party...you can't do that! I was mad then. I am mad now. Everyone should be voted out and continued to be voted out until the do the will of the people. I would never watch or buy media that isn't real media. Fuck the editorial news content that has become 100% of our news. I don't need you to tell me what to think, I need unbiased facts.

I want to know if the Cyber Insurance they had, required a level of technology and trained resources and if they had this is place. I also would love to know if people made recommendations for security, but they chose Cyber Insurance vs investing into a true NGFW security program that would have protected this throughout the attack chain from initial attack vector, C&C, encrypting, spreading etc. I have seen and heard too many people implement a check box security and trust their Cyber Insurance vs doing what truly is needed to be secure.

Most of the share holders are made up of A. Employees 401k, B. Funds such as Vanguard, Capital Research, Blackrock, Primecap etc. and C. Yes executive compensation. For B. Most retirement funds are invested in stocks or funds that invest in stock like these such unions, pensions, and 401ks but also individual investors. It's a domino effect. 54% of working Americans have retirement accounts like 401k and 403b, 33% of Americans have individual retirement accounts, and 22% have pensions. All those are tied into the stock market one way or another. This is ontop of 55% of Americans actually own stock. Add to this, it kept the aviation employees employed, planes inspected and ready to fly, and industry which is needed when the Pandemic is over. Did they over pay? Maybe. The whole 1.8T bill was an overpayment and most are celebrating it. Are you mad at all overpayments? This bailout did the job it was set to do. Stop making this you vs them thing and 1% vs the rest of us. Most of us all benefit with stocks.

You can't be serious.... If most of the constituents want something, and they voted you in, yes the politicians should listen and act. By your logic if 90% of America believes in background checks for guns, we must be too stupid and Congress and Biden should ignore us. Are you really saying the politicians should do what you believe because you're not stupid and everyone else be damned?

ERCOT's sole job is to maintain the power grid. They failed miserably. TXLEG could have created a law to force winterization as well. Ultimately it's those two entities that failed here.

Thats actually partially incorrect. The power companies designate certain zones critical infrastructure that they don't turn power off at. This includes hospital, fire, police, grocery, and government buildings. If you live close enough to that zone, your power stays on too. Because of the amount of power they had to save, some areas like mine bounced between two zones. Some areas had to turn every house off but critical infrastructure. I had 1 hour on 1 hour off. Now if the police/fire are all in nice areas, that would be why the power wasn't turned off. It wasn't specific racism of turning power off at low income areas but institutional racism as they didn't have grocery ,police station, hospital, or fire station in that area. I live in a nice area. I was still turned off. My sister lives near a retirement home. Her power was never turned off The AAC where the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars play is a shelter in event of emergency. It was listed critical infrastructure. When everyone was out of power, they were still going to play a game. It wasn't until everyone screamed waste of power, did the mayor get involved stating the stadium is a shelter and critical infrastructure and we should be using it for a game.

Lets change the story.... A bunch of Ukrainian citizens flood Bidens campaign for tickets and very few show up to his campaign event. Media finds a few of the people used to work for an oligarch. What's the media reporting today. There is no difference between K-POP fans doing this and that scenario. The media would be all about how foreign interference in our elections. A campaign event is absolutely part of the election cycle which makes it part of the campaign. I think it's funny, but be careful what you wish for. This type of campaign tactics backfires as it stops all campaign events, right to free speech and to get your message out. What happens when this is done agains Biden? or any other left person. From my perspective it's the wrong direction and very un-American.

Cruise industry contributes to 8 billion to the Florida economy directly and that doesn't factor in the other spending that takes place. They cause 12 million people to visit Florida and spend tons of cash there. There are a 149000 people employed one way or another to the cruise industry in Florida all paying taxes as well. Now take a step back and look at it from politics, with how important the cruise industry is in Florida it is a swing state. Also please keep in mind most of the bailout is coming by way to interest loans which must be repaid to profit of the US Citizens. In todays Pandemic, we should focus on all bailouts for everyone. This includes the US Citizens, the small businesses and the corporate world. We need all three functioning to be a prosperous country.
