That's definitely the problem. If we can catch them violating it, it might eventually mean contempt of court, and putting some of the people responsible in jail.

That was the racist eugenics one. This one didn't resign from the government.

Yeah. Most of the tech industry intern firings I'm aware of are for sex with other interns at work. Horny teen learns self control is a story they can tell.

Leaking trade secrets is not.

Exactly. It's a system that works almost entirely as a pay-as-you-go system, with each generation paying for the retirement of their elders.

It was always a substitute for paying to maintain your parents or grandparents in retirement. Unless you're an immigrant, you've already been getting it back.

I'm not sure; try asking the reporter

The people Musk put in place to do this are all kids. He's choosing them because racists without any real professional network are completely dependent on his patronage, and are disposable when accountability for crimes starts to happen.

It's infecting housecats too.

Yeah, I think Wired and Talking Points Memo did the original reporting on his access, with Wired getting his name, and Talking Points Memo getting many other details.

He was missing a few hundred billion dollars. With that, they'd have overlooked his hate just like they do with Musk

Given the much more aggressive action by Senate Democrats over the past day, where they've kept debate going overnight to draw out Vought's confirmation as long as possible, I'd say they're listening

We can accomplish a lot actually.

They're still responsive to people showing that they're organized enough to upset their hold on power.

We can show people that they're not alone; courage is contagious.

It's an entry point for getting steadily more aggressive forms of action.

I think it's more like chestnut blight, where people took a localized pathogen, and moved it around the world, and it then discovered lots of trees with no immunity

I hope you're figuring out how to visit their local offices and talk to staff about how horrified you are by their behavior. A ton of people are doing this all over the country.

What's going on now is that people are showing up at the offices of Senators asking that they stop it. A big crowd at Schumer's Peekskill office right now.

You can find other similar events being planned on mobilize.us if you search. Many have branding that looks like this:

And are using this common runbook

No licensing rules for software engineers in the US. Can just up and declare yourself one.

You and I are paying attention at a level of detail that almost no Americans do. It would merely take an ordinary level of ignorance to be unaware of this.

A lot of them are developing a bit of one, he was just the first to respond like this to constituent pressure.

At this point, I don't know that it's Musk, vs just an extraordinary volume of constituents calling in and overwhelming things.
