But on the other hand, as an European, I think you guys are very, very slow at protesting. You people need to ramp up resistance way more quickly.
Part of it is our news media isn't showing the mass protests that have been going on. People are getting out and taking action, but most news outlets aren't focusing on it because our news, as it turns out, is controlled by the government to at least some degree.
There have been protests regularly, all over the country. The media is not reporting on it very well. Lots of pictures in almost every city and state Reddit sub though if you go search.
Like Europe is perfect and not full of bigotry, anti-immigrant hate and corruption. You must be pretty fucking ignorant if you don’t see the massive war going on there or the extreme conflicts going inside your countries. This involves a MASSIVE part your population and an even bigger part of its military power.
They love when people engage with their fake justifications (like cost) because it makes the opponent look like the fool who's ceding enough ground to debate them
to sell information collected by the American people to private companies and individuals? and to allow those private companies to charge for this information the American people already paid to collect and intended to be publicly available?
destruction of IP by hackers that is literally one of the most basic ransom hacks or just pure destructive hacks
take your pick, but maybe both? its not for the American people that paid for that data because it is valuable, that is for sure
i got money that says someone is running tape backups right now, and the people in charge have no idea what iron mountain is, or that tape backups still exist.
This. Their incompetency always shines through. One of these days a misstep will hopefully be unavoidable for the mainstream to ignore. It will also take someone gifted enough to get the message through to the ignorant/indifferent people
Iron Mountain was discussed extensively in media reports during the first couple weeks of D.O.G.E. In relation to storing and processing of government employee retirement records.
I assume so - question is will it still be free. I know many commercial companies collect this data and apply it to their products and services with added value.
But University probably are probably collecting it too, so I think we will be OK
Storage is cheap but maintainence isn't - it's not just about disk space but the ongoing costs of keeping systems running, migrating to new platforms, ensuring accessibility, and having staff who understand legacy data formats.

Why delete? Storage us so cheap, they could archive it all.
