Reply to Approaching Nine Months Since Tennessee’s Abortion Ban, DCS Remains in Disarray by SnarkOff
The one thing all the anti-abortion laws have in common is that they failed to consider what will happen to increased number of babies and how many of them will end up in the adoption system they didn't consider so didn't give extra funding to.

Per the article one of the postings was something like "we have a job opening, but minorities don't bother to apply." If that could be confused with the actual police department (I know they could be that way, but would never be that open about it) then there are much larger problems in that town.

It takes more training to be a barber in Texas than a cop anywhere in the state.

>In March 2016, Novak set up a Facebook page that purported to be that of the Parma Police Department. He published six satirical posts in 12 hours, one of which claimed there was a job opening to which minorities were encouraged not to apply and another that warned people not to give food, money or shelter to homeless people.
>The police department, claiming the posts had disrupted its operations, launched an investigation and ultimately searched Novak's apartment, arrested him and jailed him for four days.
First, can the department detail how their operations were disrupted since that is the charge? Second, if it was clearly satire then it's protected speech. Third, what exactly are these posts so that I make sure not to do the same thing from out of state.
Edit:
>That's because there was no court precedent saying it's a violation of the Constitution to be arrested in retaliation for satirical remarks when the officers have probable cause, the court said.
But there is precedent that satirical remarks are protected, thus eliminating the probable cause I would think.

Spending money on vaporware that results in elections being less secure. Of course.

The article can't make up it's mind if the FBI has nothing to say about it or no additional information supporting the ban to provide. You know, aside from well publicized instances of the Chinese accessing "private" user data.

It's more polite than "Russian thugs." I get a feeling this would not have happened unless Russia was OK with the consequences.

Well, not free. They still have to go through the hassle of getting the ticket dismissed.

> It’s Netflix customers who are demanding this content over broadband subscriptions they already pay an arm and a leg for due to limited broadband competition. It’s being delivered by content companies that have spent countless billions on their own transit routes, undersea cables, bandwidth, cloud infrastructure, and content delivery networks.
>If an ISP network can’t handle this demand, the reason is uniformly because the ISP in question didn’t scale its network upgrades to meet demand. This isn’t your fault. This isn’t “Big Tech’s” fault. It’s the fault of telecom monopolies that routinely hoover up billions in subsidies and tax breaks in exchange for networks they always, routinely, half-deliver.
Ain't nobody getting a free ride.

Effectively that's true, but it's also pathetic of a nation that claims to be the best.

Thomas will do whatever his bosses tell him to do. If anyone thinks otherwise they have never paid attention to him.
