It's in the old feudal sense, your sovereign demands tribute...

Numerous businesses across the United States, including Minnesota, will shut their doors Monday, workers will stay home and consumers are urged not to shop.

So today I learned MN is a business... Needs more publicity though, if I went to a place today and it was just randomly closed without explanation I'd be plenty confused.

Haven't personally looked at the dev tools too much, but even if they come from the same domain, of the path had a unique pattern when it's ads vs content you could use a decrypting proxy. I don't know if the PS4 can install a custom certificate or proxy settings, the intercepted cert would possibly cause problems, but it may be possible.

Even if he did, which I really doubt since nobody ever does, I'm pretty sure they could find a way to rearrange some spending in that, what is it 800-900 Billion now?

The last time we had a balanced budged was during the Clinton years. Now I was barely out of high school and hardly paid a bit of attention to such matters at the time, but then there was a little event towards the end of 2001 that turned everything upside down. The military and police became supreme concerns and letting The Market™ fix everything was the name of the game under Bush. So much so that we got to experience the 2008 collapse during the Obama years in a major part due to the banks giving loans to people who couldn't pay them on properties that where massively over valued. We've never managed to put things back in order since, in part because the climate got so polarized that 'my team' could NEVER support anything in the least that would be supported by THEM.

Throw in a dash of citizens united completely shifting any sense of public input into politics for anyone not a multi millionaire or more and some populist prattling about the good-ol-days and you get what we have now where a big chunk of people who can't care to think for a moment of the actual policies being proposed beyond which team put it forth and you have a lovely recipe for an open pillaging by those with the power to do so.

Yeah, part of me wants to just shut off the news for the next several years, but unfortunately being prepared requires being aware...

If tariffs worked at all like Donnie portrays, to revitalize domestic production and promote local jobs, to help balance a trade deficit, and allow for market choice based on quality more than price, it might be useful.

The reality though is that the American manufacturing and industry space is functionally dead. We've shipped production elsewhere to reduce costs and that's not something that'll get reversed in any short order. All his big talk will do nothing beyond get the additional costs passed onto the buying public while the producers keep laughing all the way to the bank. They'll take any extra taxes gained and put it into the military budget and continue stripping public good services to the bone all while cheering how great we've become. Look at the new carrier group we'll build! So much winning for us both domestically and abroad!

Yes, just a discredited one who shouldn't be asked for input.

Open version called vault warden lets you put 2FA in the app. That said, I'm not of the camp that wants to put their password and code generator in the same place so I still use Aegis for the tokens.
