The other things politicians do, like in Illinois, is introduce one bill, and his other things within it to get things passed outside the normal channels. Like when Pritzker up and banned 170+specific firearms, ammo limitations, threaded barrels, and then started a registration process. Also repealed knowingly spreading HIV illegal, so anyone (by the sound of it-haven't looked into it much) can sleep with a new partner without disclosing HIV status. I'm assuming that's to appeal somehow to the LGBTQ community since the bulk of voters are the Chicago area, but some time he purely for just in time for elections.

You might think the firearms thing is OK as it helps cut down on crime. Nope, instead, there's cashless bail and softer policies towards criminals. We can't even accurately report those numbers based on how crimes or incidents are categorized. It's a mess.

He also just made it so that a bulk of the DOT funds go to Chicago roads with little left over for the remainder of the state... The tolls collected by the Chicago area are supposed to help that, but nooo, just keep reallocating funds around election time. Sure.

Ohhh trust me I know it's all about surveillance. I'm just meaning they're going to negatively impact everyone everywhere without a second thought because they'll get what they want in the end. Either more money or more reelections

Ohhh, well... Yikes. I think they hop on board without truly understanding what they're signing up for. OR worse yet, they understand and are OK with it.

My other biggest gripe: what happens to business computer users at the office? What about their admins? How much extra work is this going to create???

But you KNOW the masses will comply because they're told so. They don't want to break the law...

Please explain who this is! At the federal or state level? I don't know enough

And so the need to be kept important (or relevant) continues

Funny about the Number 23. After watching it years ago, I still find it everywhere and often. I know it's probably one of those: "Get a new car then notice that same car everywhere" effects, but still...

There's nothing stopping him from running as Vance's VP, technically. We all know he'd still try to act like he's president

I have moved a lot of our company to LibreOffice, and were starting to push web clients for software vs thin clients, so it can be run from mobile, Apple, and Linux. I only have 2 Linux Mint PCs out in the wild for more savvy users and no issues so far either. The EDR works on multiple OSes which is nice, so still compliant.

The other nice thing I've seen Lenovo and Dell offer are PCs that come preloaded with Linux like Ubuntu iirc, slightly cheaper too.

Power users still on Excel and MS Office for features, troubleshooting, and familiarity, but so far, much smoother than anticipated. Just need to convince the powers that be to roll out more Mint!
