What about just locking the phone with no biometrics and refusing to give the passcode?

They can seize it, I think. But, can they get to the data? How long before they have to give it back?

“Professional failures” AKA “crimes”

Hope Florida is run by DeSantis’s wife has been involved in shady dealings.

The meeting marked an attempt by the board to provide clarity as House Republicans probe a $10 million donation that Hope Florida, a charity and welfare program spearheaded by First Lady Casey DeSantis, received from a Medicaid settlement in October. Lawmakers are now investigating whether the foundation funneled those millions to political campaigns against the failed ballot referendum to legalize recreational marijuana.

The foundation’s executive director, Erik Dellenback, announced his resignation a day after legislators grilled the foundation’s leaders about the donation funds during a House budget committee meeting.

The Tampa Bay Times reported that Hope Florida split the $10 million evenly between Secure Florida’s Future and Save Our Society from Drugs — organizations that promptly poured a collective $8.5 million into Keep Florida Clean, a political action committee created to defeat Amendment 3 and run by Gov. Ron DeSantis’ then-chief of staff James Uthmeier.

From the Tampa Bay Times article:

Weeks after the DeSantis administration steered $10 million from a Medicaid settlement to a charity spearheaded by the first lady, the Hope Florida Foundation sent $5 million apiece to two separate organizations that gave millions to a political committee waging an anti-marijuana campaign championed by the governor.

How is this “not the Onion”? This isn’t the kind of stuff The Onion prints.

Literally any and every other thing that’s actually going in the world.

This isn’t as forward thinking as you’d want it to be.

For as much as they are abused, “IP laws” protect small and individual inventors, writers, composers, etc.

With no patent, copyright or trademark protections the billionaires will own or bury everything.

What is needed is to bring the laws back to their intended purpose.

I means if you are 40 or under you should run for office. The org they are talking about will help younger candidates.

They never suggested an age requirement to run for office.

They mention Run for Something—an organization that will help candidates who are less than 40 years old.

Latest case of affluenza. He needs the Brock Turner treatment. You remember the rapist Brock Turner, right?

The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.
