Linksys' Wellness Pods sound like a good idea and if my grandmother were still alive, I would seriously consider using them, but I wonder how and how well they work?

If all goes as planned humans could be walking again on the moon in four years! I hope to see it.
This article on the The New Republic is ignorant suggesting that RSS was confined to Google Reader. I was using my River of News then and still do many years after Reader’s demise, and there are other alternatives, all it takes is a little effort to find.
Iran conflict confirms Trump is who Dems think he is (opinion) - CNN
“If the President has been willing to withhold foreign military assistance to secure campaign help, how could Americans trust him when he launched a military strike against another country? Was Solemani’s killing done in the national interest or in Trump’s self-interest? Did the President create serious instability for his own needs, possibly even in an effort to divert public attention from the impeachment.”
President Trump lies and this is not even disputed by most of his supporters, they just claim he is no different than Obama or any other past president. So, given that we all accept that he lies, how can we trust anything he or his administration says? If we are to go back in to war again, should we not be sure it’s for legitimate reasons? If you are a patriot and support our military who puts their life on the line then you should demand the risk of their sacrifice is in support of the interests of the United States and not just the President of the United States.
The Middle East has been a real world Game Of Thrones for more than a century and the players have been England, France, Russia, and the United States.
Imminent Attack by Iran sounds like the same justification as the Weapons Of Mass Destruction claim the George W. Bush administration (aka Dick Cheney) made as justification for Iraq War 2. Journalism back then was not critical of that claim, did journalists learn the lesson or will corporate profit interests win out again? Oh, and isn’t it a bit ironic that Trump, who was critical of the war in Iraq would be caught up in the same game plan that the neocons executed then?
Remember, corporate owned U.S. journalism makes money from war. It wasn’t critical of the run up to the war in Iraq, will this time be different?
Odds of the Senate Impeachment trial being delayed due to middle east crisis? (Attention redirection is the oldest play in the politician play book.)
Even as the U.S. economy hums along at a favorable pace, there is a vast segment of workers today earning wages low enough to leave their livelihood and families extremely vulnerable. That’s one of the main takeaways from our new analysis, in which we found that 53 million Americans between the ages of 18 to 64—accounting for 44% of all workers—qualify as “low-wage.”
The current economy is not about employment and it’s certainly not about the stock market, it’s about wages. Employers do not want to increase wages or provide full time employment.
Candidates for POTUS need to properly identify the problem, talk about whether the current course we are on, which seems targeted at tariffs, is really going to solve the problem, and if not propose solutions.
Note that getting “the 1%” to pay their share of taxes is NOT going to solve the problem of low income jobs.
The conceptual design of MercuryOS reminds me a bit of Newton OS.
Today is my first work day of the year. Looking back at the To Do list I created for the holiday break, it contained 12 items and I completed 3. Not bad. I had fun doing other things.
My wish for 2020, a year that ought to be one of re-visioning (see with new/clear eyes), is that citizens of the United States learned the U.S. Constitution. The Constitution established a new government designed to contain power rather than provide power. To be truly patriotic is to be vigilant against re-interpretation of the Constitution as power establishing. Tyranny will not come to the United States via tanks, machine guns or bullets, it will emerge after patiently waiting for people to forget what tyranny really means.
Welcome to 2020
What a nice way to end the year
Spending the afternoon at LCA watching the Michigan Tech Huskies play is becoming at New Year’s Eve tradition.
