How did they bill customers before computers?

Further shows how inadequate their security was. In most corporations, IT is first to go under ax of cost cuts and now they pay the price. Many of those IT services are actually contracted out and those guys don’t really care of something goes sideways. They are not getting paid to care.

I think the implication is that they wouldn’t be able to nickel and dime the payments made for each delivery and instead would need to balance the books at a later date. Implying they couldn’t have the same profit they expected and instead would have to bill people later to fix the issue. Hence they chose to go with…

If the pipeline control systems were exposed to the corporate network, then yes, they too had to be shut down to protect them from potential exploitation. But if they could still operate the system, just more slowly and with manual recordkeeping, then no, they did not need to shut down the pipeline operations. It’s a…

Yep. Where was this democracy-saving energy one impeachment ago?

This.  “I won’t stand by”... we know, Liz... you’ll actively support and endorse it until it turns against you.  Same as it’s always been.

No one remembers what happened to the boy who said the Emperor was naked. They only remember the Emperor and his foolishness.

The best answer is for all of the level-headed Republicans to form a new, conservative party and split the vote forever.

It seems that much like any business focused soley on the immediate profit, they’re forgetting how they used to build a customer base.

First of all, this shit is corny and it’s a three-peat. My understanding that the same dumb “promposal” (what a dumb fucking thing) in Florida and at the same fucking school earlier.

If you can watch this video without smiling you’re part of the goddam problem.

Also...he lit that team UP.

Petition to submit this as an early contender for best short film at next year's Oscars.

It’s the new conservative campaign strategy. Get famous for being a racist pile of trash, claim you were “cancelled” and then launch a run for office on the backs of sympathetic white nationalists sending you cash.

LBJ said that! “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”

And also confirmation bias reinforces all that. The fact is, working at a non-profit makes it impossible to not see cases that aren’t that sympathetic.  Those cases reinforce your prejudices and make you just that much more skeptical towards everyone who walks in the door.

You might be surprised at how many straight up sociopathic assholes work for charities (and churches and hospitals, etc).

Yeah, I don’t think that’s quite the threat he thinks it is. I’ll take a baseball game crowd of masked/vaccinated people over a crowd like the UFC show in Florida had this week; little to no masks, idiots chanting for Jake Paul, etc.

“So if they don’t want Republicans at the baseball games”

“Nah, she wasn’t being naive; she was just being white.”
