@fribbledom report but continue: partial backup is still better than no backup.
BUT the "report" must be very clear and prominent (even annoying) so ppl know some file was NOT backed up.
This is the default behaviour of DejaDup, btw.
We need to remember that this isn't just Trump. The whole of the GOP and much of the Democratic Party isn't behind taking the science seriously.

Melinda Gates talking up inequality, but don't expect her to start fighting capitalism. This is thinly disguised advertising for their foundation.
This article misses the deeper message of fighting socialism that the GOP is probably trying to convey with such images. The idea that Joe Biden is somehow deeply invested in Bernie Sanders ideals and will bring about 'Red Dawn (1984 version 'natch)' invasion. Boo kiddies!

@mkwadee Too early for me to think about it. The increase in deaths should be about the same percentage (trailing by whatever is the typical progression time).

So the largest consumer cooperative in Canada is being sold to a private investor firm without anyone asking the members?!

If a coop wants to grow big, most members will always join mainly or only because of economic benefits. Nothing wrong with that.
It's what makes unions and coops so unique social movements - people who don't care or even disagree with the social goals join them.
Coops can gain competitive advantage by having members who want to participate more than is required to engage in activities that increase the economic value of membership for those who participate only to access economic benefits.

The growing use of automated license plate readers in neighborhoods, by homeowner’s and neighborhood associations, is a step in the wrong direction. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/09/flock-license-plate-reader-homeowners-association-safe-problems
