Because everything else that's going on in the country today isn't nearly as important as this mission...
Vice President Kamala Harris launched a task force on Thursday
that she says is 'dedicated to fighting online harassment and abuse', which she warned is almost always a 'precursor' to real-life violence.
“The internet is an essential part of life in the 21st century,” Harris said, but for many - particularly women, people of color, and people who are not heterosexual - “the internet is a place of fear.”
She says that the task force will address several issues, including prevention of online abuse and services for people who are targeted, although she did not provide any information about how something can be prevented before the fact.
It - the task force - is scheduled to issue recommendations for the federal government and private companies in 180 days, but more likely than not it will not produce a single fuckin' thing of any real value, just like anything else in this administration.
“All of us have a responsibility to stand together to support those who have gone through this, and also recognize they shouldn’t have to be alone fighting on this issue,” Harris said.
She didn't say shit about the problems at the border, which we all sorta thought was her main focus, but obviously isn't.

A giant great white shark was filmed swimming alongside a vacationing family on a boating trip near Cape Cod.
An unnamed family of five from Iowa had just chartered a fishing boat to catch lobster on Monday when they spotted the 15-foot behemoth swimming feet from the vessel, just below the water’s surface, according to jaw-dropping footage posted on Facebook.
“Holy shit, that thing is huge, dude! That’s like 15 feet! That thing is enormous,” a passenger can be heard shouting in the video, posted by Billingate Charters.
David Stamatis, who owns the boating company, steered the vessel closer to the massive man-eater to give the family a better look. “They were thrilled, it made their trip. Not only did they catch a bunch of fish and lobster for dinner - this was an unbelievable bonus,” Stamatis said.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention earlier this month issued a list of safe activities for sexually active patients to engage in. Among the recommendations, are avoiding kissing and “having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash or sores are present.”
Patients and prospective patients are also advised to “wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys and any fabrics” after having sex and “masturbate together at a distance of at least 6 feet, without touching each other and without touching any rash or sores.”

Near-record low inventory levels, supply chain backups and production delays do not fully capture the monumental challenge confronting consumers seeking to buy a popular new car, light truck or SUV without being gouged by profiteering dealers. Determined shoppers who want to pay sticker price in today’s market must rely upon a reservoir of persistence and patience, and, in some cases, travel hundreds, even thousands of miles.
This is the state of today’s motor vehicle market.
So my question is, why would anyone be so impatient about buying a new car that they'd be willing to put up with this bullshit?

I know the loss of jobs would hurt for a while, but dollars to donuts somebody else - some entity that knows how to shut the fuck up - would come in and remake the place."
ReplyDeleteThat's about ~70000 employees which does not include all the ancillary businesses affected which is usually much more than the companies direct employees. The knock-on effect will be huge. Friends of my family that emigrated to FL in the 80s will be greatly affected and they're apolitical. They own a business that employ many people offering services to disney. Your outlook is pretty shortsighted.
I think the 70k number's a little high there Skippy...
