America was a different country back then.

We have not got to those yet, we need to get this hush money to a porn star sorted first.

Don't forget Trump also ripped up the START treaty for nuclear weapons that was signed by Gorbachev and Reagan in the 80s

I really hope this does NOT kick off in to a full scale riot. There are people on fedi, who probably live / work in the NY area who could get caught up in any problems.

Please keep safe

I tend to use duckduckgo for search and use fedi for social network so very few ads, we have windows 10 at the library I tried to look for an image to use for a project on openclipart.org and the site is totally borked due to ads, which I don't get here at home.

Visited PC world / currys the other day, Windows 11 seems to have some side bar thingy with ads, news links and other garbage, no idea what that is for, so that is enough to put me off windows 11 for a start.

Thank fully Debian has better support for non-free hardware, so any new PC will have the Windows malware removed in full and replaced with a proper Operating system as in GNU / Linux at the core.

I am not sure about US law, but in the United Kingdom you are not allowed to "identify by name and threaten witnesses, prosecutors, family members, and judges " If I understand it this wpuld be seen as contempt of court (among other things), if Trump does not keep his mouth shut, he could, if US law is similar to ours, end up with those charges laid against him, regardless of if he is guilty / not guilty of the hush money charges.

If there are any lawyers on here who could clarity the position here it may be of interest to people generally.

This is a difficult question, while eco-tourism brings in money, what is the cost to the environment of flying to the Congo in order to explore the forests for example and see the wildlife.

Perhaps one way to help bring in income to local people and the wider economy is to find a way to help people sell locally made items around the world, but items that are hand made and not mass produced, so each item is a reflection of local culture but also has the attention to detail of that hand made item.

Photography is one way to do this, if the locals, armed with a camera go out and take photos of the local communities, wildlife, buildings, architecture then these can perhaps be printed and sold, but sold as a numebered lot, 1/1000 - 1000/1000 for example, so they are limited editions.

Creates employment but also avoids the mass produced items associated with tourism.

Science research is also a big thing, so if people are to fly to the Congo, then priority can be given to those seeking to study what is there, could be anything from undergrarduate, to research, work with the local universities and allow the same reciprocal arrangements, so UK / Congo universities work together for example.

Accomodation could be very simple, but have solar power + inverters to power devices for example.
