That’s why everyone should be a teensy bit worried about the fact that so-called “information technology” companies like Google’s mother ship Alphabet are heavily investing in life science companies, especially and explicitly the medical branch.
Three assumptions:
First, there is no way at all that medical information technology companies which aggregate, process, and analyse medical data will not be hacked.
Second, if data becomes available, there is no way “the market” isn’t going to use it.
Third, if data becomes available, there is no way “the government” isn’t going to use it.
Basis for this assumptions: every database on personal data on the internet.
While vile, he is a state legislature member, and I assumed by congresscritters you meant House GOP members of the US Congress. His attitude is not cool, but he isn’t one of the critters approving the bill in the post, and he isn’t in the US Congress.
Fair enough. I tend to use the term ‘congresscritters’ (loosely and probably inaccurately) to describe any elected official who nominally works in DC, just because ‘mercenary fuckstick’ doesn’t always apply, and is not always suitable for mixed company.
I was talking about tattooing me, not anyone else. I know that some people have medical information tattooed on them, in case they are in no state to tell doctors about their allergies and medical conditions.
Besides, it’s not going to happen. I have bad needlephobia, I literally need to be sedated to avoid harming myself and whoever is holding the needle.
I know. But I can’t help it. And I wouldn’t want it otherwise, because Never Again is a promise.
I am not suggesting your remark had anything to do with my immediate mental associations of the Nazi reign, but just tell you that I had this association.
I, for one, am not afraid of needles, and considered having a tattoo a long time ago, in school still. I seriously was pondering a barcode at that time. On the back of my neck. I am really, really glad for myself I didn’t go through with it.
Not a huge surprise that a guy who believes that women’s bodies aren’t their own would be pro-rape. We’re not full human beings in his eyes. Why should he care about our individuality?
You’re supposed to be a business owner. Trump Republicans think everyone is supposed to be, or dreams of being, a business owner. That’s all I ever hear from them. I’m beginning to think their form of government is one, big pyramid scheme.
He was clearly being ironic. But I agree, the GOP is fascism. A form nastier than anything ever seen because they are believed to operate under the guise of freedom. Just as Alduous Huxley predicted it would come to America. But this isn’t recent.
The US used what modern GOPers deem “socialist taxation” in the Cold War to galvanize generations of Americans against the Communism. It was never really about the USSR. Only military spending for military sake. Another indicator of fascism. Eisenhower tried to warn us.
