Food and Drink?

It would help if the IRS were a fully funded agency.  But, for the past four years or so, it has suffered because the GOP claims (FAKE NEWS) that WrongWing (non-)charities had a tough time getting approved as non-profit entities.  The GOP feels that these Political Action Committees (PAC) were chosen for special scrutiny. (FACT: All these fake charities that are really aimed at promoting political candidates from the Left, the Right, and the Middle were subject to the same extra scrutiny.)

In the not too distant future. Maybe, tomorrow?

I’m sure you’ve seen the same programs and movies I have. A hacker garners control of a vehicle through its entertainment system (and, thusly the Apple Siri’s or Google Assistant’s AI [artificial intelligence]) and directs it through a maze of streets. I’ve already reported how commercial jets can be commandeered.

Cars (as practical transportation) have been around for a century now. And, since the 1960’s, we have been working to make our cars safer for us to drive.

Paper wins!

I just finished my Jewish holidays- and then was inundated with folks who failed to file their taxes on the 15th of April.  And, what did they do for the ensuing six months?   From what I can tell, absolutely nothing.  Three of them brought the ubiquitous shoe box- you know, a year’s collection of receipts.  The problem?   Most of those receipts were printed via heat sensitive ink- and now, 10 to 22 months later, they are a mess of grey blobs, having faded to obscurity.
