No escape

I have been diligent at making sure that my phone never has location services activated.   Because I do not agree to let those app developers harvest and sell my data.  It’s pretty annoying that many of them- without my express permission- feel obliged to activate my location services, even if I am not using their app.

Bought and Paid For?

So, you voted yesterday.  (You DID vote, right???)  We might learn the results in Georgia (assuming Kemp doesn’t stifle more legal votes), Mississippi, Arizona, Connecticut, and Montana sometime this week.  But, we have learned how much money has played a part in this election.

Now, tomorrow, we choose a President, a few Senators, and every Congressperson. That will set how the Federal Government will run for the next two to four years. Pretty important.

“Everyone talks about the weather and nobody does anything about it.” If you are old enough, you remember this expression.  No, we weren’t expecting some evil genius to change our weather. (Oh, wait, polluting companies have effected climate change.   But, I digress…)  However, that is exactly our issue now- everyone is talking about the fact that our Congress is not talking to one another.  This side says “the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain”, while the other responds “It takes two to tango”.   Sentient beings hit their foreheads in wonder how adults can behave in such fashion…
