NO. IT’S MUCH WORSE. IN THE MINORITY REPORT THERE WAS SOME REASON TO BELIEVE PEOPLE WOULD COMMIT CRIMES. THE TRUTH IS AS FAR AS WE CAN TELL BEING “UNWANTED” DOESN’T PREDISPOSE ANYONE TO BE A CRIMINAL. OR AT LEAST, SO FAR, HUSBAND AND I HAVE KEPT CLEAR OF IT. AS HAVE MILLIONS OF OTHER “ACCIDENTAL” KIDS. IN FACT, I’D BET YOU, ALMOST ALL OF US:  Austin is trying to deter crime the ‘Minority Report’ way.

Guys, seriously. Leonardo DaVinci was not only unwanted, but a bastard. Same for Alexander Hamilton. The idea that cutting down on unwanted children cuts down on crime is stupid. Also insane.

PEOPLE ARE INDIVIDUALS. NOT MEMBERS OF A GROUP.  AND THE NAME FOR ANYONE WHO BELIEVES IN COLLECTIVE GUILT THAT STRETCHES ACROSS HISTORY FROM PEOPLE WHO MIGHT LOOK VAGUELY LIKE YOU TO YOU NOW IS “RACIST”. ALSO AN IDIOT. SO, AN IDIOT RACIST: Individual Lives Matter.

NEVERTRUMP IS A HELL OF A DRUG: A NeverTrumper who wants Trump to win the election by a landslide.

And yes, I WAS still nevertrump at this time of the year in 2016.  BUT I looked around and realized who I was in bed with, and who I was believing.  To remain nevertrump in 2020 means virtue signaling and believing lies from the “right” people matters more to you than anything else.

AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SORT OF REMOTE WORKED FOR 30 YEARS, THE UNPLANNED INTERACTIONS CAN HAPPEN VIA CHAT PROGRAMS. AND DO:  Covid-19, Remote Work, and Offshoring.

As for offshoring, other than for incredibly cheap manual labor, it tends not to work very well.  Different work cultures make a big difference.
