Most of my posts criticize two cultures that define our lives but are rarely discussed:
* Honor-Shame Culture
* Managerialism
The rest are about politics or information security.

We are invited to assume that the New York Times did not know what Epstein was telling Landon Thomas about Trump. I decline to extend that charity.
If Epstein wanted the NYT to write about it, he should have made it about a Democrat and gotten a white nationalist hacker to leak it to them.

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?

American business leaders believe they have the money so they do not need to care about workers' concerns.
They do not want to think about recruiting or retaining talent.
This is why they love outsourcing: they do not have to worry about cultivating a workforce. That's someone else's job.
