And I remember _all_ of those characters and symbols…

Banking and insurance is bad enough.
I've been dealing with my state's unemployment benefits site this year; forget tech debt, it needs to declare technical bankruptcy.
Next, let's talk about the need for perfect code when dealing with small systems: computers in vehicles, hospital equipment, etc.

If I was a really cynical person, I would think that these evil clowns are fine with Trump crashing the economy and ramping up unemployment, or maybe even *want* him to do that.
That way, people are too distracted and scared to stand up against this.

I'm not in Ilhan Omar's district, but as a Minnesotan, I would tell Rep. Fine to keep his filthy hands off of our duly elected representative.
The detestables who peddle this crap the loudest are probably hoping we won't look into their closet.

My wife is very sensitive to generic vs. name-brand drugs. We have had to return prescriptions before because they hadn't been filled by the correct drug maker. She has also had to stop taking prescriptions because a non-generic version was no longer available.

Your podcasts are a highlight of the month. I find that without a regular schedule, they’ve turned into nice surprises that go straight to the top of my playlist.

I’m a little surprised that Orange Leader backed Lindell. I figured that he had outlasted his usefulness, and OL would have jettisoned Pillow Guy like last month’s leftovers.
