justfuckingusehtml.com Very cuss-heavy but hilarious because I feel the same a lot of the time. I wrote HTML when I had a geocities site when I was a kid. That means I'm getting old...

An administration cannot say they are fighting government waste and fraud, then unilaterally sign in policies like tariffs, which increase waste. I work in a public university. Costs of common electronics will likely go up 2-3 TIMES. It will be passed onto taxpayers.

Tariffs are a tax consumers pay. Businesses have to pay such tariffs to get their products into countries that have them. So they'll either 1. avoid trading in said country. Or 2. raise the prices of goods to the factor of the tariffs. They are NOT an effective sanction.

So if the government really wants to do us good in the cybersecurity front, then they really need to write consumer protection and privacy laws with real teeth. Like the GDPR in Europe, or California's CCPA. 4/5

Banning one specific entity doesn't do anything except aid the business efforts of its competitors. 5/5

Explained: Because there's no real laws protecting people from data brokers or other entities harvesting and providing people's data online, there's apps everywhere which violate peoples' trust, without them knowing it. Like Google your own name and location sometime... 2/5

It's insane how many, sometimes, fly-by-night, "directory" companies exist just to expose everyone's information. Spokeo, ZoomInfo, FastPeopleSearch; all exist just to provide your information in order to sell "premium" memberships. And it's legal. 3/5
