    I’m cynical to think that proper legislation won’t happen even after the crash. There’s simply too much money available to buy bribes/motorcoaches for Supreme Court Justices (Clarence Thomas) and other cheaper politicians.

    May you live in interesting times, indeed.

      I actually feel the same, but I was trying to not be too much of a downer.

      Thanks for the recommendation, but I’m already subscribed. If you read the post a couple months ago from someone who just got a tiny phone, I made a longish comment on it with my own mini-review of it.

        Yeah, it can wear on you.

        I keep my subscribed feed clear of politics because the political content that spreads on social media is evolved/selected to be compulsive/clickbaity so I don’t even want it touching my eyes.

        Dull Men’s Club is a great community because everything that makes for compulsive content isn’t ‘dull’ and I suspect it’s a lot more of a bipartisan community than most places given the types of expertise that some of the user’s display.
