Today's #Republican Party is directly responsible for permanently #damaging America and the entire #planet. It's not just #Trump. It is the #GOP.
Ever since the 1960s, it's been the Republicans to blame. They get worse with every decade.

Subject: complaint about cargo-culting audiophools and the #marketers that exploit them
I saw a new #scam yesterday. Well, new to me. It's probably been around forever.
There are many, many #fraudulent products and ideas out there that target the self-described "audiophiles". And because such #audiophools never do double-blind tests, they always convince themselves of just how well the #scammy products work ("you are the easiest person for you to fool").
Examples of long standing:
Super-thick "oxygen-free copper" #cables for #speakers or #interconnects, being sold at 100x the price of regular cables.
Electrically shielded fiber-optic cables (!).
Paint pens to colour in the outer edge of CDs and DVDs.
Systems to run your equipment from #batteries so as not to contaminate them with that dirty mains #AC.
#Tubes / #valves instead of solid-state #amplification.
... and on and on.
Well, yesterday I was looking for some opamps (tiny little chips, used everywhere), and came across a place selling replacement #opamps for use inside stereo equipment. You can get perfectly good designed-for-audio opamps of good quality for a few bucks each. Upgrading your equipment to better opamps sometimes made sense in the 1970s, but not now. The ones used from the factory are fine.
But no, this one was selling fancy opamps, designed for *RF* use, not audio, which normally cost $10-20 each, in fancy little metal packages, for hundreds of dollars apiece.
"A fool and his money ..."

#Republicans are a #CULT, not a political party.
The ENTIRE #GOP is a goddamned fucking JOKE.
Look at the #Cabinet, each one of these sick #freaks approved by #Republican Senators.
Every single one of these #trump Cabinet members is #incompetent, an #abuser, #traitorous, #illiterate, #lying, #fraudulent or just plain cold stone #fucknuts, or all above.
Approved by the Cult.
It's fucking SICK.
America has a fatal disease. It's called Republicans.Show me ONE Cabinet member that's qualified.

Donald Trump promises he will
“not cut one penny” of Medicare,
but like most elected Republicans he’s a strong proponent of #Medicare #privatization.During his first administration, Trump issued an executive order that said #Medicare #Advantage,
the privatized version of Medicare,
“delivers efficient and value-based care through choice and private competition.”#Mehmet #Oz, the TV doctor Trump nominated to run the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services,
disparages traditional Medicare and has called for massive expansion of Medicare Advantage.
By remarkable coincidence, as of 2022 ➡️Oz owned a reported stake of $550,000 in UnitedHealth,⬅️ Medicare Advantage’s largest participant.There are many things the private sector does better than the federal government, -- among them enriching shareholders like Oz.
But the private sector does not provide health care more efficiently than the public sector.
That’s been demonstrated over and over, yet nobody wants to believe it.A reportpublished Wednesday by The Wall Street Journal
summarizing a year’s worth of its investigations
indicates that where Medicare Advantage really excels is in the filing of #fraudulent #claims.Congress created Medicare Advantage in 1997
to demonstrate for good and all, damn it, that the market economy could be more cost-effective at delivering doctor and hospital care.
The privatization program succeeded in winning over the public:
54 percent of the Medicare-eligible population chooses Medicare Advantage.
Medicare Advantage looks to people over 65 like a better deal because it covers things traditional Medicare doesn’t,
such as visits to the dentist or the eye doctor. Some plans even cover acupuncture.
⚠️But if you get seriously ill and need to be referred to a specialist, Medicare Advantage isn’t so great.
An April 2022 study by the Health and Human Services Department’s inspector general found that
💥13 percent of the referrals denied under Medicare Advantage would have been approved under traditional Medicare.Medicare Advantage also shows that health care privatization is a lousy deal for taxpayers.
💥Medicare Advantage costs the federal government 7 percent more per enrollee than traditional Medicare, according to an August 2024 study by the fiscally conservative Peter G. Peterson Foundation.
For enrollees with similar health profiles, Medicare Advantage costs 22 percent more, according to the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission.Perhaps that’s because, as the Journal’s investigations found, Medicare Advantage insurers routinely
pad their government reimbursement requests with #spurious #diagnoses.
For example, an astounding 66,000 Medicare Advantage patients were diagnosed with diabetic cataracts
even after these patients had surgery to correct them,
making that diagnosis, in the Journal’s words, “anatomically impossible.”
In other instances, patients whom Medicare Advantage insurers reported as HIV positive received none of the recommended treatments.
If a doctor failed to furnish a desired diagnosis, insurers dispatched a nurse to the patient’s home to find one.
Medicare Advantage insurers also conned veterans into enrolling in the program even though they were already covered adequately by the Veterans Administration health system, which has repeatedly been demonstrated to be superior to private hospital care (something else the public is reluctant to believe).UnitedHealth, the parent company of United Healthcare, whose chief executive, Brian Thompson, was assassinated last month, is, according to the Journal, a particular offender,
furnishing doctors with checklists of possible diagnoses.
Looking at Medicare data between 2019 and 2022, the Journal found that patients who moved from traditional Medicare to UnitedHealth’s Medicare Advantage plans
“got 55 percent sicker, on paper” during their first year in Medicare Advantage.
(UnitedHealth replied in a written statement that it provided “more accurate diagnoses” and alleged, without providing evidence, that the Journal’s reporting method was flawed) -

He always gets right to the point
“If you can convince your supporters that thousands of people who attended a televised rally do not exist, it will not be hard to convince them that the election returns in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and elsewhere are ‘#fake’ and ‘#fraudulent.’”
“This is what undermining democracy is about. This is what #fascism is about,” Sanders added. “This is why we must do everything we can to see that #Trump is #defeated.”

If some no-gooder jams a fistful of #fraudulent #ballots into the box, it doesn't mean they will be counted and applied to the official tally. The ballots are still inspected and verified prior to #tabulation. The ballot box is just another way for #voters to transmit their ballot to the #election clerk.

Does anyone know what has happened in this lawsuit?
👉 Puerto Rican towns sue Big Oil under RICO alleging collusion on climate denial
Puerto Rican municipalities have filed a lawsuit in federal court saying #ExxonMobil Corp, #Shell Plc, #Chevron Corp and others colluded to publicly downplay the risks of their fossil-fuel products on climate change and are #financially #responsible for damages from the devastating 2017 hurricane season, which was made worse by #global #warming.
The group of 16 municipalities filed what they called a first-of-its-kind lawsuit last week against about a dozen fossil fuel companies and others.
The towns say the companies coordinated a multibillion-dollar "#fraudulent marketing scheme" to convince consumers that fossil fuel products do not alter the climate.
That campaign ran contrary to the companies' own studies showing their products accelerate climate change, resulting in more deadly storms, the lawsuit said.

I have been thinking about #gemini #protocol lately and it's #TOFU model in particular. While I understand what they are going for, I think it's still really vurnelable against attacks from the #StateActors. Even if #HTTPS cannot penetrate the block, lack of #certificate alerts user to the tampering.
The system where each #server has something like a #webring of hashes certificates of other #websites and clients would check if site supplies real or fake certificates is interesting, but the system still need #bootstraping (Maybe with the help of something like #TOR or #I2P) and it still has risk of sites being #coerced into hosting #fraudulent certificates and then using them to act as #MITM.
Perhaps system of more reasonable compromises can exist, but I am not sure. -
