12. What happens?

Well, when we were digging into how trump "beat" Hillary, they told us nothing could happen. It was covered under the constitution and a whole bunch of other "reasons." We'd just have to deal with it, since the election was over. But, Hillary was female. That always puts a "sorry, but..." on the end of any issue.

I'd like to see this not only take out trump, but also some of these techgods. I think we (as a country) and maybe a few other first world countries need to step back away from the high tech until such a time when there are restraints, oversight, and understanding of the tech by even the most luddite among the people.

I'm not a luddite, tho the tech today sometimes makes me feel that way! After getting my degree in Psych, I ended up with a career in technology, over 40 years worth of time. From the beginnings to the endings of what was a great opening for common people with a brain or a knack. I'm not against tech, but I am against anything done with the motto of break first, fix it later. Especially with technology, there are too many ways for the industry to hurt people in nearly every facet of their lives. And so much of the harm and damage can be hidden. That's what needs to be given highest concern now.

Most of us had a feeling that all those mini satellites of Musk had something to do with the way the election went down. I'm flabbergasted that the whole thing could have started with a "smart" power cord?! I hope to follow this story and learn more... cause right now, a company that got my money via power strips being at the start of stripping Americans of the value of our votes is flabbergasting.
