Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
Ron Wyden, Democrat from Oregon says that the NSA has been buying and storing Americans internet data for the purpose of spying on them. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Why I was unaware our government could do that legally. Who knew? For some inexplicable reason the NSA has been trying to keep this under wraps. Why in the world would they want to do that? Some of you folks become testy upon finding out the American people don't trust their government. It might have something to do with the fact that the government can't be trusted.
I use to be a people person until people ruined that for me.

I am fine with it, the life it saves could be yours or mine. Yoke, this with the influx migrants....we certainly want to know What the heck they are doing. Although, using encrypted apps has made it a bit more challenging but not impossible.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 10:49 am Ron Wyden, Democrat from Oregon says that the NSA has been buying and storing Americans internet data for the purpose of spying on them.

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
I don't know if I'm fine with it. The keeping it under wraps thing is a little disconcerting to me. It could be a way to do an end run around getting a warrant signed by a judge. No real mention of what information they are looking for or why. It does provide ammo to the folks who don't trust the government.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 11:40 amI am fine with it, the life it saves could be yours or mine.

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
I understand that POV, I just think the fine line between having data the supports stopping a crime/evil is far more valuable than not having it all, especially when time is of the essence. But to your point, to be used in a manner of corrupt intention or possibility, is crossing the line.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 1:43 pmI don't know if I'm fine with it.

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
Was not sure where to put this.
The U.S. just sold its helium stockpile. Here’s why the medical world is worried.
MRI machines need thousands of liters of liquid helium to function. Health care workers say they can’t afford any disruptions to the helium supply chain.

On the surface, this seems like an awfully bad idea....what say you?

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
I don't know why the US has the need for such a very large reserve supply of helium? I would think the need for it in the medical world would be top priority.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:09 pm Was not sure where to put this.

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
Years ago when I was doing research involving liquid helium it was far cheaper to get it from the government...even though we had a helium liquification machine, it only was in working order part of the time...cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:33 pmI don't know why the US has the need for such a very large reserve supply of helium?

Not a good idea. It's the result of the "Helium Privatization Act" introduced by Republicans in 1995/6 and signed into law by Bill Clinton.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 5:09 pm Was not sure where to put this.

But hey, less government regulation and ownership of the markets is supposedly a good thing right?
Surprised you think it's a bad idea...

Re: Regulation - Too Much or Too Little?
It's a rabbit hole worth exploring when you can. We use helium in a ton of stuff, and seem to find more national defense and public health uses for it every year among many other applications.youthathletics wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:34 pmKnow very little about it, it’s why o asked.NattyBohChamps04 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 9:19 pmNot a good idea.

But yeah, this is the result of shortsighted policy legislation thats 25+ years old. Makes you wonder what we're screwing ourselves over tomorrow with bad policy today?

As an employer that makes very unique things, it’s hard not having non competes. We’ve never had them, as I think they’re wrong.SCLaxAttack wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2024 4:38 pm It's about time.

As a human, we simply pay our crew so much, there’s no reason to leave. Same MO Coors used when the family owned it: their response to Unions was to make unionization a stupid move, by taking care of their people.
Imagine that?
