Paul SchoeWhen smart and experienced people are no longer informed of the state of affairs, they also can't alert or warn you about events in the world.It is more than petty. It is a smart move from Tulsi Gabbard. Now, Trump only receives disinformation and can dismiss other opinions because they do 'not know what he knows'. It will reinforce Trump's belief that his words are gospel. <a href="https://mstdn.social/@Free_Press" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Free_Press</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Gabbard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gabbard</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Disinformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Disinformation</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Petty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Petty</a>

Still Mad About CD PricesHealthcare CEOs hiding their online profiles. Yeah, I went through a tiny version of this in about 2016: My university has no faculty parking; we duke it out with the students in the big mass parking lots. The administration has touted our "egalitarian" nature... except that every one of them has one or more reserved parking spots which the university cops protect with tickets and towing. I guess people started talking about that too much that year, because suddenly--literally overnight--all the signs saying "Reserved for VP of Finance" or "Reserved for Dean of Students" were replaced with anonymous signs: "Reserved for License # HFG-237" etc. They make 2-10 times as much as faculty, they have special benefits packages, they control all budget, hiring, firing, policy, and management. They apparently can't stand the idea that the perks they give themselves should be identifiable.A buddy and I estimated this must have cost at least $10K-$20K: removal & disposal of the old signs, ordering the new custom signs (which must now be updated every time a position changes), the labor to do it (campus maintenance people). All so nobody can identify the specific people giving themselves freebies at others' expense.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/highered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#highered</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ceo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ceo</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/corruption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#corruption</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/petty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#petty</a>
