Pro-tip: If you want to really cause trouble at a company, send a complaint to multiple people within the corporate umbrella but make sure they are absolutely the wrong person--as low as you can go in the org chart. CC a couple people from unrelated departments.

I'm 58 years old. For the first time in my life, with cancer in remission, I'm going to lose my healthcare and I 100% blame the democratic party for that tonite. All they had to do was say no, we won't let the GOP take away healthcare.
Never again will I vote for a democrat in any office.

If the democrats cave and do not get ACA subsidies in a government shutdown deal, I'll never, ever vote for them again. I mean never. I don't care who the candidate is.
They've been unable to govern for a long, long, long time and this would be the 100% deal breaker for me.

Californians just sent Trump a clear message: you can’t cheat your way to victory. Prop 50 stops his power grab to rig elections and protects fair maps and fair representation. Democrats won’t allow the people to be silenced without a fight.

I'm aware of more than one org freely sharing passwords and even keeping them in a wide-open network share containing god-level passwords that will get you to completely unencrypted customer PI.
As of 10 minutes ago one of those shares is still reachable from the internet. 5+ years and counting.

The big winner of this clown-car presidency is the legal industry. Easy wins across the board for a broad range of illegal activities. The latest being firing federal workers during the government shutdown despite specific laws that protect workers.
