Ridiculous! The bailout would be larger than most countries entire defence budget! Think of all the good these monies could do in America for poverty reduction et al.

This sucks—thought I'd read somewhere that it is a labour supply market as opposed to employers. Guess not!

Sorry, don't know how often it's updated, but Norbert being a former Debian Developer, I wouldn't worry about the quality of his packages!

@warper
Well, hot damn, forgot about that happening!

Fedilab is there too. Mastodon isn't a client @warper but a protocol.

Very, very troubling! I hope that Oliver is wrong. From his Facebook post:

I’ve been following the Ukraine situation since 2014 with Robert Parry leading the way as a teacher. I’ve followed the burnings in Odessa, the persecution without legal rights and murders of journalists, mayors, politicians, and citizens. I’ve followed the banning of the main opposition party, which had higher polls than the Zelenskyy government. I’ve been shocked by the sheer hatred expressed against the Russian-Ukrainian minority. It’s a long and sad story devolving from the 2014 coup, co-engineered by the U.S., which stripped Ukraine of its neutrality and made it vociferously anti-Russian; in the eight years since, some 14,000 innocent people in the Ukraine have been killed, none of which was seriously covered by our media.
I’ve watched with mounting fear these past weeks as Victoria Nuland once again emerged out of the blue, warning the Russians and us -- the target audience -- that if the Russians use a nuclear device of any kind, there’ll be hell to pay. This was quickly picked up by a host of Administration officials and TV channels in the following days, amplifying the same idea -- Russia going nuclear. All this coming because of Putin’s restatement of Russia’s nuclear policy, which btw is not as aggressive as our nuclear posture. This made me wonder, why repeat this over and over? First, there were all the war crimes charges which came fast and furious and need serious investigation and evidence.
As a result, I wonder if the U.S. is setting the stage for a low-yield nuclear explosion, of unknown origin, somewhere in the Donbass region, killing thousands of Ukrainians? Of course, if that happened, God forbid, all the world’s eyes would be trained, like a Pavlov dog, to blame Russia. That guilt has been set up already in advance, regardless of who launched the device. This usage would certainly impact the remaining 50% of world opinion, which isn’t in the Western camp. Russia would be the Satan, the Beelzebub. Keep in mind, it’s hard to know where a nuclear device is fired from, especially in a fast-moving situation like this war, in which it seems Russia can be accused of any behavior, no matter how preposterous. It would probably take a few days to find out the truth, but the truth isn’t important. The perception is, and the U.S. is running a perception war with great skill and blunt force, saturating the CNN/Fox airwaves and our satellite countries in Europe and Asia as I’ve never seen before.
In doing this, we’d be one step closer to getting what we hope is another Yeltsin, who can create for our country another huge ideological and business opportunity. But, more important, in the bargain, isolate China from Russia. Of course, China would be the next target if Russia falls. This, I believe, is the dream scenario of the neoconservative anarchists in our government to make what they deem a better “rule-based world.”

Decency for a mass killer, gotcha!

@101101000 We're not disturbing them, as I doubt any of Albrights friends and relatives are here. She's responsible for many deaths, so I couldn't give a shit. Nor do we need you to tell us how to behave, thank-you very much!

@freeschool Watching UFC this afternoon or time of day, where you are? Should be fun!

@lsitongia maybe @lupyuen or some of his followers can give you suggestions.

@lsitongia Well, I'll give it a boost. There are some hardware geeks around.

@lsitongia I don't know about their tablets per se, but their laptops certainly do.

@lsitongia You must want to give them money pretty bad. I know I would have gone with a high-end Lenovo after this. LOL!
