I would hope so. I would not be surprised that this is a US special…

When you’re the president of the fucking United States but the grief is more important to you… come on, even I would be less of a disgrace….

It’s the sharing & cross enrichment that would bother me. That your unemployment office keeps a CRM with the info makes sense. That LEA has it all and more together with the gods know what else is what I would object to. Same for how service providers store that info; there’s a fine line between storing enough and too much. Or too long. And not everything needs to be tied forever to the customer ; sometimes a hash or whatever does wonder for the legitimate purpose. Storing more is often « just in case I can market the data later » which I’m personally not agreeing with.

Sure he’s dumb but his failure gives an interesting insight into how wide the US dragnet on its citizens is. A mail address used to apply for unemployment has been indexed somewhere « just in case ». Nice.

Yeah but how could they do money alone? Isn’t world economy a multiplayer game? They cut all their allies… I don’t think value can be created in a vacuum; where would they get the war money from?
