In addition to wanting a list of people with “disabilities,” the government and health insurance companies are also pushing for centralized medical records, which are accessible by the government, insurance, and whoever they decide to sell the data to.
Yeah but they’d rather be racist and xenophobic. And maybe it’s all just threats to keep us immigrants in line.
I wouldn’t put it past the US to charge the victims of this the renunciation fee anyway, and keep them on the IRS list as tax persons.
Germany is already preparing to do this.
We all probably know Allen Dulles was a Nazi sympathizer.
I often think about that. According to what I remember hearing or reading from Aaron Good, FDR would have charged Dulles with treason after the war. Dulles was literally helping Nazi leadership escape Germany towards the end of the war. Except that of course he died before then, and his nominally socdem VP Henry Wallace had been forced off the ballot for the 1944 election in favour of the more anti-communist and pro-capital Harry Truman. Truman would be convinced to start the CIA and give them the mission to do whatever they want in service of Wall Street, and the Dulleses went into history not as traitors and Nazi collaborators but as accomplished statesmen crucial to the foundations of the empire as we learned to know it since.
Trolls aren’t even trying anymore.
I write notes in markdown (I’m not attached to any particular editor) and push them to a self hosted git server. Git therefore also helps handle any merge conflicts between devices.
I’m glad that during this cost of living crisis the government is focusing on what’s important: weapons, bunkers, and racism.
Whichever clown creditor decided linking the credit repayment to the growth of a country at war deserves to be defaulted on.
We also need to move back to a time where creditors take about half the responsibility for a loan.
Same company that is being sued by shareholders for not being ruthless enough in the pursuit of profit.
The “maintaining privacy” is just a bit. It’s about gaining complete access to everyone’s private communications for whatever rhyme or reason the ruling class wants
Between medical bills and potentially needing a care home or home assistance later on, that amount can disappear quick. If you own your home, which many in the retiring generation still do, you also have taxes, upkeep, and maybe even the rest of a mortgage to pay off as well.
Some US based financial advisors recommend having $1.5M or more saved to retire.
Retirement is for the propertied class.
Yes, as the Trump admin clearly proves, they follow the law to the letter.

Gotta insure Blackrock’s investment.
Reminds me a bit of the impromptu Christmas truce of the first winter of WWI.
The soldiers clambered out of their trenches, chatted, played football, and enjoyed life. The soldiers learned to see the other side as humans, just like them.
The following Christmases the soldiers were under strict orders to keep shooting on Christmas and not dare consort with the enemy.
The US made it illegal to cooperate with China on matters of space exploration and research years ago. China on the other hand welcomes collaboration from anyone.
The Android private DNS setting is just for a DNS-over-TLS resolver. The only thing about it that’s private is your queries are encrypted en route to the server (traditonal DNS is cleartext). There’s no filtering or blocking.
Some Android versions also have a hard coded DNS server set to Google, which based on my tinkering uses DNS-over-HTTPS. Not only is it annoying but I find it awfully insecure - even if you think you have stuff locked down it might just not be. I fixed that issue by blocking all DNS-over-HTTPS servers in my router, and also have all outgoing requests to port 53 redirected to my local resolvers (Pihole + Unbound).
Chancelllor Blackrock: hold my beer.

A VPN doesn’t provide this on its own. Nothing does.
This is maybe a bit too conspiratorial for my liking, but I heard this take:
RFK Jr. has said something about how everyone will have a wearable medical device soon. Him and others also want lists of people with certain medical diagnoses.
Florida has recently immunized doctors from wrongful death/malpractice leading to death lawsuits.
The research institution doing a lot of stuff for Neuralink is very close to this new concentration camp.
