Did you notice they also added UGC as 3rd party content now?

Also alarmed to see that user-generated content is considered 3rd party content, that may be SRA depending on the context in which it's used.

Large governments tend toward slow-moving, bloated bureaucracy that often spends more than needed. One theoretical solution is to let the free market choose a slow-moving, bloated for-profit corporation to cut costs and pocket the difference + 25% as profit.

I don't know: in 2016 it was Clinton 46.9%, Trump 45.4%. I think in a world where Biden was the candidate Trump would have a realistic outside chance at MN if they invested in it. With Biden out I think MN is safely blue again.

Watts is the main unit of power, and the symbol is just W (or kW for kilowatts).
