Now THAT’S a play …. The Amazon-Walmart battle moves to India. Bigly!
Cambridge Analytica
As I said … they will be back ….
”In recent months, executives at Cambridge Analytica and SCL Group, along with the Mercer family, have moved to created a new firm, Emerdata, based in Britain, according to British records. The new company’s directors include Johnson Ko Chun Shun, a Hong Kong financier and business partner of Erik Prince. Mr. Prince founded the private security firm Blackwater, which was renamed Xe Services after Blackwater contractors were convicted of killing Iraqi civilians.”
Just didn’t quite expect them to include Blackwater this time round.

If @Manton should ever decide to rewrite the Micro.blog contracts I have found just what he needs as a starting point.
Still got some formatting and re arranging to do - but the wishes list has now been modified to focus on functionality of the idea rather than source of the idea.
Keep the ideas flowing!

This is such a great story … I really hope to meet @brandontreb and his family in real life …. it is like an expanded Travels With Charley.
Good Grief!
“I had believed every word of the American dream — work hard, make money, be happy — but it wasn’t so. Something had to change.”
I love America but I hate what it is becoming.
… hard to argue with any point made.
