Email did to white collar work what the washing machine did to housework: creating as many problems as it solved. See, as Ruth Schwartz Cowan shows in More Work for Mother, washing machines made washing clothes much easier, but in the process, it also shifted cultural norms...

Kash Patel basically faking crime stats now, by pretending that arrests made by state/local law enforcement were done by the FBI. www.ms.now/news/crime-s...
ms.now
Crime stats touted by Kash Patel are bolstered by arrests made by state and local agencies, not FBI
An analysis of publicly available data from the Justice Department shows repeated claims made by the FBI director are false or misleading.

Ms Rachel from the top ropes
From Ms Rachel's account on Threads, she writes, "CORECIVIC, a company that makes hundreds of millions locking up KIDS in immigration detention
has a PAC that's sending campaign checks to Senator Susan Collins of Maine.
Susan Collins chairs the Senate committee that writes ICE's budget.
ICE is CoreCivic's customer.
The company gets paid out of a budget she controls, and it pays into her campaign."

This is what ICE is. Firing repeatedly into a car with a baby inside. Whether it was negligence or deliberate, it is absolutely unjustifiable. This is literally the sort of thing that happened in Moscow during the 'Wild East' days of utter lawlessness. This is also Trump's America today.

Why Trump Is Targeting Green Card Path Used by Microsoft, Other Tech Firms
From the start of his second term, President Donald Trump has made it a top priority to restrict opportunities for non-Americans to gain entry or remain in the US. In the latest action on that front, his administration said on Oct. 8 that it would indefinitely suspend the ability of a number of technology companies, including Microsoft Corp., to sponsor foreign employees for permanent residency in the US.
