#SurveillancePricing could result in your paying higher prices than other customers pay:
https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/online-shopping-price-surveillance-data-22397302.php
"There’s nothing consumer-friendly about an algorithm deciding you’ll pay more for eggs because of where you live or how you shop. That’s not personalization — it’s price discrimination powered by surveillance."
"Assembly Bill 2564, the Surveillance Pricing Protection Act," could save you money.

The Senate committee hearing where Republican Senators repeatedly insulted Dr. Anthony Fauci proved one thing: it is a mistake to use your company's computers for your own personal use.

Dave Matt: "NPR learned that there is a trick, if you are applying in person in Washington DC and do not want a passport with Trump's image: choose extra pages. The State Department says the 250th commemorative passport (with Donald Trump's picture) is only available in the standard, 28-page book."

Tom Sietsema: "If you see something, say something. I am forever grateful to a reader who saw a photo of me on social media and noticed a red spot on my nose. 'Get that checked out' with a dermatologist, she emailed me. I did, and it turned out to be basal cell carcinoma — removed just today by a great doctor and her assistant. Basal cell carcinoma is slow-growing and highly curable, btw."

You can learn an important lesson from #history. "Zbigniew Brzezinski telephoned the man at Harvard University who he was working for at 3:00 a.m. on March 5, 1953 to tell him that Stalin died. The man said to ZBig that Stalin will be just as dead in the morning, and he hung up."
Remember this when Donald Trump dies. #NewsYouCanUse
