Let's not forget those from the big tech (you know the names) who kneeled before the king.

Missed Tim Cook.

Let’s map their names to the companies they run. Then reflect on whether we buy their products: Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla/SpaceX, Meta.

This makes sense. Facts cease to exist because you ignore them. I think Huxley wrote that.

The Power of Positive Thinking is one of the few books Donald Trump has really internalized and it shows in his approach to a lot of issues.

So the currents will continue to be tracked, no? :) Seriously, we should find out why this system was desired and created in the first place to answer this question. Good question...

The answer in general is we monitor things to understand them, so we know how they will affect us. Same thing we do for all the metrics that allow us to forecast the weather every week.

> The system, which began operating in 2016, was designed to run for at least 25 years It's likely that a majority of the cost to collect the data has already been paid for...
