Los Angeles thugs repeatedly tased Keenan Anderson to death while holding him helpless on the ground. Anderson had warned passers-by that the thugs were trying to kill him. It appears he was right.

The wrecker's 2017 tax cuts were a big giveaway to rich corporations.

This was anticipated, but now the figures demonstrate it was true.

*NEWS: GAO Study Finds 34% of Large, Profitable Corporations Pay Zero in Federal Income Taxes.*

*Germany demands medical care for Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny.*

Putin has greatly increased his crimes since the time when he poisoned Navalny, but we should not forget Navalny's heroism.

The water supply of the London area was privatized, supposedly so that the company would invest in improving the water supply there. The trouble is, it makes more money by not investing and leaving the quality unacceptable.

This is because homes and offices have no alternative choice besides that one. Water supply is a natural monopoly, and therefore it should be closely regulated.

Staff effectively working for TikTok used TikTok location data to track reporters to try to find staff who were giving interviews to those reporters.

I don't care whether those staff had asked permission. I don't care whether TikTok (or its Chinese owners) are sincere in saying they won't do this again. The problem is that they do collect the data, and are in a position to use it to track people if they decide to.

The problem is that the system is designed to require users to trust the good will of the company's staff and management. Such a system must be designed differently so that users' trust not to track people is not an issue.

The fact that some Chinese staff could track the locations of US reporters and their US sources makes the problem additionally grave, but that is not a fundamental change. Enabling the US staff to track the locations of people in the US is dangerous too.
