Trump names Rudy Giuliani as cybersecurity adviser. Don't worry Rudy is older then Trump. No this is not a joke but it is lol.
That wouldn't be surprising at all. He already appointed the foreclosure master to head the treasury and a man who studied animal husbandry in college to head the department of energy. Trump says he appoints the "smartest" people but then we constantly hear things like "oh, I had know idea this department does thing like this" from his cabinet appointments.
First thing he does in office? Declares war on the environment and regulations because they get in the way of business. Yeah, well that cyanide from your mining gets in the way of people drinking their water and that factory smog gets in the way of people breathing.
You must be one of those crying liberals and progressives that are intending an evil take over of the world through the EPA.
Happy to meet you!
With people on this site p!ssing all over the extra pennies they pay for de-sulfured diesel and no-lead gas, I have to wonder if they have ever thought of how large their and their loved ones medical bills would be without these controls. Certainly MUCH larger than the few extra pennies they pay at the pump.
It was within the past few months that science, a bad word in their world, figured out what caused some 10,000 people to die within something like four days in the 1950s London due to smog.Sh!t, they think deaths in Chicago are bad and Chicago needs law and order. Well, the deaths in Chicago were nothing even remotely near the death rate in London at that time due to the smog. Estimated to be on the order of 10,000 in four fricken days, and Chicago deaths are bad? Yes, they are, but not that bad. If that death rate had kept up for the entire year, some 900,000 people would have died that year in London alone - not from violence, but from air pollution - SMOG.
Science, oops, bad word, figured out it was the sulfur in the atmosphere in a form that turned into sulfuric acid in the lungs of the people breathing the air. Yes, we all die sometime, but that seems a particularly horrible way to die where your lungs dissolve due to the most basic thing that humans do to live - breathing. WTF? Who needs clean air anyway; it costs too much - is their cry.
And oh, by the way, those same science people say that the conditions are ripe for that to happen in China right now.
But I guess most of the people on this site are not old enough to remember the smog in LA and New York City in the 1970s. Not to mention the severely polluted rivers in the US at that time, yes, the US. If it were not for the EPA, pollution would likely be as serious in the US NOW as it is in China NOW.
They cry that net neutrality is yet another example of a nanny nation; however, when net neutrality is abandoned, and ISPs find themselves even more able to screw their subscribers and avoid upgrading infrastructure, I bet the have an absolute fit when the cost of such controls are passed on to them right along with one of the known already to be slowest and highest cost internet service in the world. And yes, this is all for the good in their eyes.
But perhaps this is what is needed.
WTF - this is likely the only way that some will learn that not everyone in this world are just like their good neighbors, and, in fact, give many people the chance, and they will surely screw whomever they can just to make a quick buck. Hell, Trump is doing it himself in refusing to pay workers for work done. And the poor deluded conservatives think that he is mr honesty and tells it like it is when he really just tells them what he thinks they want to hear to manipulate them and get them to vote for him.
Rather than label terrorism terrorism, he labels it Radical Islamic Terrorism to placate those christians who think that their faith is in jeopardy because some dude wears a turbin. Perhaps those same christians should unbury the book of Amos.
But, I've gotten off topic.
As I see it, IMO, I think it is likely that technology will be sent back to the dark ages during its presidency. Science is a bad word to 45, and unfortunately technology and science are inseparable.
