@jeffjarvis The FBI background check on Gaetz might be… interesting. Wonder if that’s FOIA-able?

I'm seeing a lot of bad digital security advice out there right now. I'm begging you, for the love of God, if you are trying to tighten up your digital security, please start with threat modeling: https://ssd.eff.org/module/your-security-plan
Your Security Plan

Trying to protect all your data from everything all the time is impractical and exhausting. But, have no fear! Security is a process, and through thoughtful planning, you can put together a plan that’s best for you. Security isn’t just about the tools you use or the software you download....

I love the implicit "answer this right or we'll drive a robot over a stranger someday" part of the whole prove-you're-a-human captcha experience.

@serge @neurovagrant Try thriftbooks.com if you want lower prices and don’t care if the books are brand new.
@JessTheUnstill I see your point, but most vehicles on the road need fuel and there’s state and federal fuel taxes at the pump. Large trucks pay a use tax on top of that. Then there’s vehicle registration fees and sales taxes on things that go into maintaining and operating vehicles. Some states have toll roads. So, I wouldn’t say they don’t generate revenue.
