IMF backs down on Greece bailout

dimanche 18 juin 2017 à 02:00

The IMF backed down and let the Euro-banksters impose terms on Greece with little or no debt relief.

For Greece's creditors there will be an additional bailout. For Greece, there will be increased cruelty, lasting at least 5 years, together with even more debt that will be as impossible to pay as the existing debt.

Maybe Greece should start printing its own 100-euro bills. That would be a more effective defense.

People convicted of drunk driving are being ordered to install additional proprietary software in their computers (mobile phones): specifically, the nonfree apps for Uber and Lyft.

The one for Uber spies on the user.

I wonder what the judge would do when the defendant has no mobile phone. I fear this judge might order the person to carry a mobile phone. Mobile phones' movements and usage can be tracked and monitored by absolutely anyone, so being required to carry one is a big injustice.

There are occasions when it is legitimate for a court to require someone to wear a tracker, but such an order should always be explicit, not camouflaged behind "always have a mobile phone."
