Every New Car Could Become a Surveillance Machine by 2027 — And It May Decide If You Can Drive

This isn’t some distant concept or experimental feature that might show up years from now. By 2027, every new car sold in the United States could be required to actively monitor the person behind the wheel. That means watching your eyes, tracking your behavior, and constantly evaluating whether...

Staying old school was the right move

Please note the second bullet point.

See, that was easy. I mean that was literally the first one. And I mean literally the way it's actually defined. Not how Joe Biden uses the word literally to mean "figuratively".

As far as the "Mission Accomplished" sign, I didn't say he didn't see it. I said the ship hung it to show him they accomplished their mission, which in fact they did. As someone who did those "mission" things for over 30 years of my life, well... I know that once one

It's funny. I just went to USAJobs.com.

"Logistics" was the first word that popped into my head. I'm biased that way. It's an 8040 thing. That part I guess is difficult to explain. But I digress. The first job that popped up just looking for "Logistics" was this one:

Logistics Officer

Logistics Officers work on accomplished teams both domestically and abroad, that provide a full range of logistics and supply chain solutions in support of the Agency's global mission.

As someone who did those "mission" things for over 30 years of my life, well... I know that once one mission is accomplished, you get another mission to accomplish. Life is funny that way. We also used to say: "If you accomplish more than your fair share of missions, you'll have more than your fair share of missions to accomplish." But there I go digressing again.

But why let facts get in the way of a good rant, right?

Like it says selective service if applicable which means there are exceptions. As far as how the Navy works I spent more than a decade in the Navy myself riding boats. Bush knew exactly what the message was he was sending to the public. You arent going to convince me differently.

Yes, Bush got a lot of pushback about the sign, and it was bad PR. Why are we relitigating it decades later?

It to me is the equivalent of Trump saying we won the war in Iran. We will win eventually in Iran but we're far from being done. My opinion.

Well I see the UAE leaving OPEC as a welcome sign of longer lasting progress than just the bombings.

When the 3rd largest producer in your cartel jumps ship, things are happening.

So you’re saying that the shit bags of the world, facilitate the actions of other shit bags? That’s nothing new, I believe Kofi Annan was suspected of brokering deals between France and Iran to facilitate oil trades.

As for the yacht being sanctioned - I believe the article said it was formally owned by a company held by the sanctioned owners wife…. So that doesn’t mean it’s specifically sanctioned although we both know it’s just a shadow game of ownership.

Point being that a billionaire’s toy is the least of the moments concerns.

I was more thinking of the mines that are being used as a big issue....didn't seem to worry them....so someone either knows where they are or they aren't bobbing around freely /sitting waiting as they would have people believing.....".point being" I am sorry for upsetting your sensibilities by mentioning a super yacht.....

I'd expect mines (if they exist) would be set in such a way to only trigger for larger (magnetic targets) or deeper draft ships (like loaded tankers).

Not exactly a risk I would like to take on my hypothetical super yacht

Correct, they have the old school tethered mines that float at surface or just below; but these are the easiest to detect and destroy.

They also have Chinese made bottom of sea mines; these mines sit on the bottom and have 3 levels of sensors that allow smaller craft to pass over, but if a large war ship passes over the mine activates and fires a torpedo straight up at the bottom of the ship.

Hardest mine to detect and destroy and I believe the USN is the only navy with the capability to locate and destroy these mines.

Guarantee you they know where the mines are, or at least where the safe traffic routes are.

Iran wants to appear as though they control the straight and can turn it on and off like a switch; it's one of the few power moves they have short of nuclear threats. If they can't transit or allow people friendly to their cause to transit the straight at will then they will lose face with what few friends they have.

Neither is Trump, and 'WE' don't want one either.

So, who were the Democrats rallying against if Trump isn't 'THEIR' King?

Because Trump is a self proclaimed dictator even if for a day. You knew that.

No one ever accused most democrats as being overly logical!

James Comey indicted on 2 felony counts of threatening cause harm to a sitting president…… apparently “86-47” didn’t sit well with a federal grand jury….
