Made in America: Another Mass Shooting

Yesterday there was yet another mass shooting in the USA. Apparently this is 355th mass shooting in the U.S. so far this year and the year ain't over yet.

Or, could it be that adding more guns to the already gun saturated USA is like combating the smog problem by burning some more plastic—to cover up the stink?

So is everyone really still okay with all of this?

However, by the time I was done, my interest in technology, from over 10 years as an IT professional, was thoroughly peaked! Definitely off the "beaten path," in a spruce bog in Northern Minnesota, this site boasts an incredible array of scientific equipment that is supported by an amazing technological infrastructure! There are control sites and some of the chambers have added heat, carbon dioxide, or both. A lot of equipment and experimental testing goes on 24/7, 365 days per year. These guys know their stuff. The 10 chambers are connected ...

The people dying from measles are unvaccinated. This is preventable. Those who are pushing misinformation are participating in the cause of these deaths.
