In fairness a government should be the only entity surveilling people in its own borders under most any circumstances.

I’m pretty opposed to most any kind of surveillance outside of warranted due process, and I don’t think that any domestic surveillance needs privacy for longer than it takes to do an investigation and prosecution.

It’s when governments are allowed to do things in secret and outside of the law that the whole concept of the law is undermined.

I don’t have a computer to try it on and I can’t be without a computer.

Oh here, take a Linux laptop from my giant box of Linux laptops!

From what I can tell, it looks like there are a lot of loans out right now, the rate at which they are issued has increased since the beginning of the Trump presidency has increased dramatically, and this is like really bad because If those loans don’t get paid back then pillars start collapsing underneath the financial system. Lose too many of those and the whole thing comes crashing down.

This one graph doesn’t represent all of the bad that is going on, it’s just a sort of a weathervane to tell you which way the wind is blowing. …and right now it’s blowing where the sun don’t shine.
