Remember when Eli Lily lost billions because an account with a blue check mark pretending to be them said they were giving insulin away for free?

I've never heard of this. If Biden does win the primary would this still be an option or is it dependent on him coming up short?

Nobody begins to tackle the constitutionality of Biden leaving after some of the primaries have closed. Every primary that has closed will not have had the opportunity to vote for whoever replaces Biden. The right will rip us a new one for installing a candidate without voting for them and for once they'd be right. With democracy on the line we cannot forgo democracy.

I saw it on Netflix last night when I was reading about this push. I'm in the US, your mileage may vary.

That's somebody's SSN maybe (I just typed random numbers and added dashes). Knowing an SSN alone doesn't enable a crook to do much of anything. They need to tie it to other information which proton presumably has. Now if I told you that number belonged to John Doe of Walla Walla, WA with this yahoo email and that September birthday, now an identity can be stolen with ease.

Then stop beating the "it's all hopeless" drum. You're certainly not going to change my mind.

You sound like an ad for advertising. I've seen the studies and I think our relationship with companies is changing. I trust people/groups/companies very differently than my parents and grandparents do. To just give up... Fuck that.
