In this case, after a quick look through her Wikipedia page I'm wondering how she knows? She's a money person and probably needs help changing her password.

It's a weird Americanism that CEO's of corporations get called up to explain themselves in front of Senate committees like they're naughty schoolboys and nobody else seems to think it's odd.
I wonder what would happen if this CEO tells the Headmaster that how he runs the business is none of theirs?
While you're not wrong, every time I read a piece about how Americans have to pay for this or that thing which the rest of us get as part of the whole taxpayer experience in the country we inhabit, I ask myself who the government of America is set up to benefit.
I don't think its you.
I've been living entirely with Linux Mint for about a year now. Civ VI runs fine and it's the only game I still play.
The only thing I do miss is Photoshop but everything else has a Linux equivalent that works just as well (or better) than whatever I was using under Windows.
America has had several "federal subsidised push(es) for a national fiber infrastructure." The corporations took the money and didn't do the installs, then they asked for more money which resulted in not much more fibre.
Then they sponsored laws to prevent communities building their own fibre networks.
I'm sorry, but her "her obvious creative and business talents." are completely unobvious to me.
She's the child of multi-generational wealth who gained her first recording contract because her father bought a large stake in the company.
The Grammys have no integrity and never did. They're an award for whoever sold the most records last year.
I have heard her described as "the McDonalds of pop music" which sounds about right to me.
Thanks, I really enjoyed that story.
It makes my own situation feel a little less unique. I too work for a vast American corporation that has lost it's way. We however don't care enough to attempt to subvert the corporate bureaucracy in an attempt to actually do good work, so everything is circling the drain.
I would also disagree with his assertion that the powerpc Macs were great machines. As an end user at the time, we put up with them an no more.
Two thoughts came to me.
The first was that this new city will be "socioeconomically integrated" because the servants need to live somewhere and the second was that State Senator Bill Dodd seems to not understand how America works if he thinks this whole project will be decided "based on facts, not slogans, misdirection and massive campaign spending."
China are not going to invade Taiwan, because they can't.
The last time any significant amphibious invasion was attempted, the invaders had been fighting for 4 years (most of them anyway), they had 2 dress rehearsals and the target did not possess satellites or a significant ally who could intervene.
China would need to get 1,000,000 men across the straights of Taiwan and supply them. Taiwan and the US would be able to watch the build up in real time and would know exactly where the landings were going to be. Imagine China's casualty rate.
China could destroy Taiwan of course, they possess nukes. That's going to cripple their own economy, so they won't do that either.
Canonical and Debian don't make decisions about default anything without thinking it through, and Debian definitely listens to technical people before implementing a thing as important as a display manager.
I'm yet to see a really coherent criticism of systemd. It has certainly made my life much easier.
