This is a bipartisan problem
Posted: May 15, 2017
We are going to advance ourselves right into oblivion if something doesn't stop this constant need for better and better technology. Though I know it is human nature to want to make things better, I have noticed in my lifetime more and more dangerous situations created from advancing technology to the levels we have and are continuing to do.
This article mentions the FBI, Homeland Security, etc., are all concerned at what is going on and how bad the situation is with cyberattacks. In the 60 minutes intervieew with Comey back in 2014 he mentioned how disturbing it was when the iPhone of that terrorist couldn't be de-coded by the government because Apple created a phone that could not be broken into it by the government (or anybody else) to get information from it that could help in the case. Now Trump is calling an emergency meeting over cyberattacks.
It's a constant fight to keep one step ahead of the "bad guys." We create a way to block them, then they figure out a way to get past that. We have always had crime and I don't think anyone would deny that, but I have never seen such threats as we are having today with our personal information, government information, company information as we have now.
We all use the internet but I also feel since it's creation, we have unleashed more dangerous times.
Just my opinion but am interested to hear other's thoughts on this.

I am glad President Trump is taking this seriously - whilst his predecessors did not.
[ In Reply To ..]There are a lot of threats to the USA right now, not only cyberattacks. We must all come together as Americans and show support for our country!
While I agree the president should - take it seriously
[ In Reply To ..]so did his predecessors. Your comment shows that you are not "coming together."
I don't think any administration has not taken this seriously. It is advancements in technology that are hurting us.
If Trump finds the "magic pill" then good for him, but I don't think there is a fix. All of us are guilty of letting this stuff happen by relying on technology too much. Unfortunately, the whole world is relying on technology so if we didn't we would really be in trouble. Frankly, I think we as a nation, as a world are self-imploding because of technology going too far.
We shall all be thankful that Hillary Clinton and John - Podesta are no where near
[ In Reply To ..]government PC's.
Why is that? Government - department computers
[ In Reply To ..]were hacked long before theirs. Does Trump still use his unsecured phone to tweet? I know there was something about that but maybe that has changed.
Love your humor! Podesta let in a virus that affected the DNC - and Hillary compromised our
[ In Reply To ..]national security.
Maybe that wasn't humor, but fact!
Anyway, funny!
Not really funny but - whatever
[ In Reply To ..]It could be someone else next time. It could be our water supplies, our electrical grids. A lot of people get taken every day that are not Hillary or Podesta, even republicans.
As my post stated, this is a bipartisan issue so singling out that issue is really just naive.
This is funny because there's truth in it! - LOL!
[ In Reply To ..]LOL
Of all the current threats to the US, Trump - is the biggest threat by far.
[ In Reply To ..]
The only real solution is to go off the grid so to speak. - We really need some old school
[ In Reply To ..]backup systems. Everything is so dependent on technology.
This is a good post nm - mt
[ In Reply To ..].
Thank you. - nm

We need an apolitical agency for this. Imagine this...your - credit card or medical records get dumped
[ In Reply To ..]into some record data bank, 95% of the info is correct but somebody get's a hold of it and changes it to make it look like you went to a whore house or try to make it look like you've done something wrong. It affects your credibility.
This is why people who say "I have nothing to hide" should rethink that. Hackers can make it look like you have something to hide.
The future is frightening.
The future is very frightening. We have really - opened up a scary world
[ In Reply To ..]Our credit information and medical records go to other countries and can be sold to the highest bidders. We have technology taking over our jobs as transcriptionists and look at the crap that stuff spits out.
It's like everything else. It's good but don't overdo it like we have on a lot of things
Identity theft is a big threat, Social Security, credit cards, - bank accounts, etc.

Healthcare's Bipartisan Problem. Almost Half Of Healthcare SpendingJan 13, 2017
healthiest half of the population consumes only 3% of health care costs. The only alternative would appear to be taxpayer subsidies. It is next to impossible, politically, to take away freebees once in place. Income redistribution continues to increase. The 2010 health law, also known as Obamacare, forced insurers to sell coverage to anyone, at the same price, regardless of their risk of incurring big claims. That provision was popular. Not so were rules requiring nearly everyone to have ins ...
Bipartisan LamentOct 29, 2012
I've been thinking about the latest twists and turns in American politics. The vast problems facing the country as a whole and diametrically opposed Republican and Democrat Parties. The intractable nature of the argument. And here I am complaining about it and yet I'm just as partisan. Anyone who's read my posts knows I'm a liberal, even though I view the Democratic Party as a massive failure. I look at these two parties we have and shake my head ...
Well, I'm So Glad This Congress Is Being BipartisanJan 19, 2011
I'm listening to the health care repeal debate. Weiner, as usual, was a little hyperactive during his debate point. The speakers I found most interesting were the doctors that have been elected to Congress. All of them are against the law the way it stands. It just came across the bottom of the screen that if the health care repeal passes, REID will NOT schedule it on the Senate side. That's like saying to heck with what the people want, (I don't want ...
Bipartisan Deficit CommissionFeb 06, 2010
Last month, a bipartisan commission went down in flames in the Senate after 7 republicans who sponsored the bill voted against it. Now, Obama is putting together a bipartisan commission and the republicans are still complaining it's not good enough. Obama is telling them to come to the table and present their ideas. They are saying no. And then accusing him of not listening. The problem seems to be that the republicans expect Obama to follow their platform (tax breaks for big busines ...

Have A Cat ProblemSep 10, 2010
I recently gave away the last of my momma cat's five kittens and she is now engorged and leaking milk. The babies didn't go all at once--one one week, two the next, etc.--but she is still making milk. She looks uncomfortable but I don't think she has a fever. Will this resolve itself or will she need medical attention (besides the spaying coming up soon!)? Thanks for any suggestions. ...

I have a dilemma. I brought in a woman to rent my room on Saturday for 200.00 without a lease. Within 3 hours, the entire house reeked of very strong cinnamon incense. Fine...then comes Sunday, she begins by making coffee in my coffee pot and cleaning my kitchen counters, her first load of clothes goes in at at 9 AM and she washes clothes until late that night. She puts her dish towels in place and takes it upon herself to wash mine. She then finds a Sun-T ...

I feel myself sliding into a horrible depression and I honestly don't know why.

The Real ProblemSep 07, 2011
For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man ...

Problem With NeighborJun 21, 2014

They just had a baby, and the other day, he came over and was complaining to my husband about his smoke coming in their window.

CPAP ProblemFeb 28, 2015
Last Tuesday, I started on a trial period using the CPAP. The company gave me a loaner of the machine, mask, and hose. Because I'm immune compromised, I asked them whether anyone had used the equipment before me. They assured me they autoclave everything before they give it out. On Thursday night, exactly two & a half days after I started the CPAP, I came down with a bad head cold. This is the exact incubation period for the cold virus, and I'm extremely reluctan ...

Hi :) I have a family problem. I will give you some background information first. Sorry for the length as I try to explain. I was raised in a small town by my mother and stepfather (she has been with him since I was 1, so for many years). I grew up with one sibling, my half-sister (my mom and stepdad's daughter). I always knew of my biological father. I would see him at various events, and he was at my 6th grade graduation, although he never really said more to me than h ...
Cat And Litter Box ProblemJun 01, 2015
Long story short (I wish): I realized our cat was peeing on the new carpet in the family room. She has 2 litter boxes and has always used one for pee and one for poop, but as she in an indoors/outdoors cat, she rarely uses either box except in winter.. We took her to the vet who said that he didn't think she had a UTI but that she might have/have had an infection of the vulva (blank stare from my husband at that point). The vet gave us meds which we used without really knowing if she did ha ...
