Those are my questions! Give me back my questions!

It’s a great story.

My grandad was a captain in the British army. He took part in the invasion and push up through Italy. He told us about the nightmare of trying to take Monte Cassino. He got put in jail (for a very short time) for punching an officer who was screaming in his face in the middle of a battle insisting that he order his men into a certain death situation. He was of the opinion that if you ever met a WWII vet that hadden’t spend some time locked up for insubordination they were of low character.

Cowboys Ted!

Oh sorry it’s not politically expedient to save the environment. All we understand is the orthodoxy of neo-liberal economic dogma where increasing inequality is the goal. So what we can offer you is a third runway at Heathrow.

Wut?

Maybe so. I don’t remember the packaging half as clearly as I do the crappy chocolate.

I think I remember these. They were a low quality chocolate stick wrapped in paper. I didn’t like them. I think I got that they were preying on kid’s desire to ape adult behaviours but I may be conflating a decade of memories.

Henrys here! Almost…

It’s probably worthwhile to note that it would be foolish for the CEO of a business that derives revenue from people that are worried about their privacy to say anything that undermines that worry, regardless how self inflicted it is.

The morality of it is another matter. I don’t think the business model is evil in itself. There is a need for privacy in this world. But your shades of grey are getting darker if you are not giving clarity for fiscal purposes.

They’d just ‘devide’ up their businesses into a chain of symbiotic entities defined by paygrade. Then the executive level can enrich itself insulated from us front line grunts.

Devide

verb

Obsolete form of divide.

Both tunes have a relaxed freedom about them. It’s a nice ambient vide.

Nice. Giving me early Jimi Tenor vibes.

Oh look, here comes FlyingSquid.

It is a secret in that the Dems don’t openly acknowledge it. Something can be a secret and yet some people can be aware of it. If the majority of people know about it then it could be defined as an open secret.

And us, can we with any certainty claim the same?

I could swear I heard that whole ACER laptop angle a couple of months ago on someone else’s podcast. I don’t want to say verbatim but I was having severe dejayvu. It wasn’t a Doctorow podcast that much I’m sure.
