    @wtg And from what I've read, it cannot be deleted. Basically, an untrustworthy company has stolen 4GB of storage from those people's devices. If Google was honest they would have an opt-in option. But they're not honest, and that's a problem.

    If I am a Medicare-approved provider now, I am restricted to receive no more money than the Medicare-approved amount for any given service. If this Rand Paul bill were to become law, then the smart move would be for me to stop being a Medicare-approved provider -- because that allows me to keep serving my existing patients and still be able to get at least the Medicare-approved amounts for services I provide, but also allow me to ask (some of) my patients to pay me more. This bill will likely eliminate the incentive for any provider to remain Medicare-approved. As eccentric as some of the old Ron Paul's view points were, I never really doubted that 'ol Ron knows economics. I don't have quite the same level of confidence with Rand.

    @wtg said: the White House reportedly resisted allowing citizens to return to the US for care and monitoring. I missed this. (I’ve been kind of hiding from the news lately, it’s all just too much) How shameful this country’s administration has become. it gets worse with each day.

    He's a reputable historian. His wheelhouse is the history of the Arabs. https://share.google/nr9msyvfYCsLpukdD I see he probably did get this wrong. A cartoonist invented red Santa in 1863 for Harper's Weekly and Coca-Cola used red Santa in 1938. - From the comments. I suppose both stories could be true. I think I'll Google an image of the 1863 Santa. But why a red Santa at that time? I like him wearing green. It's my favorite color. Edit- "In 1863, Santa Claus did not wear his signature red suit in Harper's Weekly, as the magazine was printed entirely in black-and-white wood engravings. While cartoonist Thomas Nast famously introduced the prototype of our modern Santa Claus on the January 3, 1863 cover of Harper's Weekly, the actual text accompanying the illustration reveals that Santa was dressed in a patriotic Union uniform of a star-covered jacket and striped trousers rather than a solid color.Nast did not popularize the iconic bright red outfit until 1881, when his famous colorized illustration titled "Merry Old Santa Claus" was published. Thank you, AI Edit 2- He was wrong. He should stick to his area of expertise. A Pictorial History of Santa Claus — The Public Domain Review https://share.google/2kiuUQ8ouUy0lSY5v

    That's disgusting and I'm not watching the video because after that it would be in my memory. Are humans the smartest animal or the dumbest?

    He can be sane the live long day or not but he's got dementia either way. Also, I wouldn't focus on his agency myself not that I have insight into it. I'd focus on how he's being used by others.

    It’s the smoke for us here in the city. At least that’s how it has been so far.
