While it's theoretically possible that this technology could work effectively, given the people involved, this project is probably a complete bamboozle that will divert funds away from enforcing the deportation of immigrants.

In that light, it's probably a good thing.

An "emergency" no-bid contract awarded to a company with connections to Trump that has increased from $2 million to $15 million. And doesn't fix any underlying issues with the pool leaks.

Small potatoes compared to estimated $7 billion in insider trades made on oil and betting markets, front running announcements on the illegal Iran war. [0]

The corruption is sickening.

I'm not a fan of surveillance state, but I'm also not a fan of high crime and false arrests. If we're just tying up the police and having bloated budgets, we should get rid of publicly funded police and allow police to be a corporate benefit like healthcare.

that's a particularly useful sort of naive comment
