From the "You Can't Make This Shit Up" department comes the revelation that the company hired by Trump to suppress the algae in the Washingtin, DC, reflecting pool is named, "Greenwater Services."
Yes, it's owned by a trust controlled by a Trump crony.
Yes, that crony has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Trump, and is a neighbor of Trump's
Yes, it was hired with a no-bid contract.
Yes, its algae solution is stripping the $17-million new no-bid paint job from the bottom of the pool.
The thing this pool is reflecting best is the corruption of the Trump regime.
This could only be more perfect if there were a Jeffrey Epstein connection.

A quotation from Andrew Oliver
Politics is the most hazardous of all professions. There is not another in which a man can hope to do so much good to his fellow creatures; neither is there any in which by a mere loss of nerve he may do such widespread harm. Nor is there another in which he may so easily lose his own soul; nor is there another in which a positive and strict veracity is so difficult. But danger is the inseparable companion of honor. With all the temptations and degradations that beset it, politics is still the noblest career any man can choose.
Andrew Oliver (1706-1774) American Colonial merchant, politician, government official
Speech (1774?)

[quote] "The legal instrument protecting your rights as a user of Linux is less important than the commercial ecosystem built on top of it. And that commercial ecosystem as we have established is controlled by the same corporations paying a half a million dollars a year for board seats at the Linux Foundation. ... The message ... enforce the GPL, lose your friends ... violate it openly ... get a seat on the board ... The GPL is not dead but its enforcement mechanism has been systematically dismantled by the very organization that claims to steward it."[synopsis]
Linux Foundation has squelched the voice of the lay contributors and now corporations control the decision-making process.
Now that your contributions to GPL'd free software have created mega-millionaires and billionaires ... those same rich fat cats that profited from your free code now want to keep you from sharing your own free code or profiting from it while they violate the software license to cash in. They promote ideology campaigns employing useful idiots and ideological parrots to insulate themselves from criticism and hold themselves above reproach from the people they are exploiting to build their tech empire. The Linux Foundation has joined the empire.
I have said before that a new alternative operating system is required if software freedom and privacy are to survive. Linux is not the resistance against the system. Linux is the system.
