Yeah, that’s the wrong word. “Extracted” or “looted” or “stole” are all more appropriate.

Skip the psych exam. Restore the “public servant” aspect.
All assets are sold and the cash is placed in a trust that earns 1% interest. When you leave office you get your money back.
24/7 audio and video coverage of your life as long as you are in office. The toilet is not filmed unless someone goes in with you. Other than that, your life is an open book.
After you leave office, you can teach classes as long as your compensation is no more than the lowest-paid professor at the school that employs you. You can write books. Or you can enjoy your pension. No corporate jobs or partner positions at fancy law firms.
Depends on a number of factors. A ton of companies have moved to web based tools for a big chunk of their workforce. If those web apps are more or less standards-compliant you could pull it off with minimal retraining.
I like swapping them out but I wouldn’t do it all at once and I’d implement term limits that put them outside of a two-term president’s reach. I like 13 year Supreme Court terms because it’s a prime number and it would keep any one president from naming more than one or two justices.
Biden should appoint Cornel West and Bernie Sanders as two of the additional 4 justices.
My hot take is that a public life should mean a much reduced expectation of privacy. If you want to make decisions that affect millions (or billions) of people, those people should be able to see and hear everything you do outside of the most intimate necessities of life. E.G. you can poop without someone watching, but not much else. Don’t like it? Quit.
The headline is missing “again.” Chiquita, AKA the United Fruit Company, has been abusing Latin American nations for the entire time it has existed.
Very cool that the Minneapolis PD I’d just outsourcing forensics to <checks notes> discount retailer Target?
What’s next, the state of Arkansas outsourcing public education to Walmart?
Neither are dragons.
I have a friend who’s gotten into hermit crab rescue with his wife, and if you’re only expending the effort shown on this chart, congratulations you’re an abusive pet owner.
Or, you know, a school. You know, where there are children? Maybe children who have physical limitations who have been called gimps?
Oh well, who cares about the educational environment and getting kids exposed to FOSS options instead of commercial software?
Pretty much everyone who’s discussed it agrees The Godfather (film) blows the Puzo novel it adapted away.
Runner up is Adaptation, an adaptation of the novel The Orchid Thief that expands its scope significantly.
I think there are different valid perspectives on what the terms mean, and the server side vs AJAX split pretty tightly correlates to the rise of social media as we currently understand it because the technology enables that use of the internet.
Woz might also be the only person who did not become a markedly worse person when he became a billionaire.
Text for the noose knot is just a repeat of the overhand knot. No bowline or clove hitch also means this is of less use.
Played it on my Mac SE/30. Lots of fun even if I was pretty bad at it.
Both major freezes in the last 5 years in Texas.
Like “Born in the USA,” this song is…not positive about the US.
The content creators should work together to make a single bland “it’s fun 😶” video that all of them post. It would technically comply with the restriction.
Is there a non-infowalled version? WaPo asks for email even on a gifted article.
