Pursuant to the new moral stricture promulgated this week by the NYT & CNN -- that Mount Rushmore is a shameful monument to racism and white supremacy -- both CNN and Bernie Sanders ought to repent for this praise they jointly heaped on it in 2016: twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/ #Trump #Bernie #Greenwald #Sanders

DuckDuckGo burned a truckload of goodwill with me today

Their DDG-branded web browser for Android has a feature which [it doesn't matter what it does by design], but as a side effect it sends every URL you visited to DuckDuckGo's servers. That is the single worst thing they could do as a "privacy" focused web browser.

When this was pointed out to them, they doubled down. For a year. It took an HN front page (in the comments section they doubled down *again*) and 10 hours of arguing with them before the CEO stepped in and agreed to remove the feature.

Explain to me how it went from we just need to “flatten the curve” to “everybody needs to stay home until no one ever gets sick again, while our country crumbles all around us?” twitter.com/iheartmindy/status

I finally decided yesterday, that I am going to donate the entire check to something the government should have been spending its money on.
Border security is an actual legitimate role of government. (As opposed to most of the other things government spends money on.) As such, I am going to donate my entire government stimulus check to We Build the Wall.
In my own small way, I am going to divert government spending from a waste of funds to a legitimate government role.

I've thought about putting the money in savings. (I'm currently trying to save every dollar that I can until we get out of this economic crises that shouldn't have ever happened.)
I've also thought about using it to pay extra on my house. (My goal is to have my house paid off next year.)
I've also thought about just never cashing the check, but I'm not sure it's wise to leave the money in the hands of people who mismanage money the way the government does.

For the last several weeks I have been trying to decide what to do with my government stimulus (welfare) check. I was completely against sending $1200 to every American. It's incredibly bad fiscal policy and we are already in tremendous debt as it is.
As of yet, I have not even cashed the check because I haven't wanted to be part of the problem. Why cash a check, even if I can use the money if it is going to add to the problems our country is facing.
