Gotta love 45!
Good summary.
Did he answer any questions?
Thanks. Has he made any statements on the pipeline issue?
I miss Kayleigh.
I read it was a voice vote.
That’s interesting.
Individual responsibility should never have been taken away.
“Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Colonial Pipeline Crisis: If You Drove an Electric Car, ‘This Would Not Be Affecting You’”
I guess she hasn’t heard of power outages that happen for days and days.
I totally agree.
I would also like to know who was included in the many biPartisan groups that Joe claims he has met with. I remember so vividly the round table discussions that President Trump held in the first weeks of his administration. He met with CEOs and organization heads from many different categories. He really thought that people would work together for the good of the country. He had no idea that the left was going to attack him in every way possible and not work with him at all. What a lost opportunity to make our country so much better for everyone.
GMTA :-)
Will be interesting to see if our intuitions are right. 😉

Both Baltimore city government and Baltimore County Public schools have been hacked in the past few years. No one ever said whether they paid the ransom or eventually did a workaround. Teachers who had not downloaded their files onto their own personal computers lost everything
Do you really want all the private companies in the US to turn over the cybersecurity of their computers to the federal government?
The inmates are running the asylum.
I knew I read something about it with healthcare!
https://www.hipaajournal.com/cost-2020-us-healthcare-ransomware-attacks-21bn/
The researchers identified 92 healthcare ransomware attacks in 2020, including the attack on Blackbaud. More than 600 separate hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities were affected by those attacks, with a further 100 affected by the attack on Blackbaud. Those attacks involved the theft or exposure of the protected health information of at least 18,069,012 patients.
Ransom demands were issued ranging from $300,000 to $1.14 million, with data from Coveware indicating an average ransom demand of $169,446 in 2020. $15.6 million in ransoms were demanded from healthcare organizations in the United States in 2020, and $2,112,744 is known to have been paid to ransomware gangs in 2020. The true figure is substantially higher as many ransoms were paid but the amounts were not publicly disclosed.
Absolutely not. But they are criminals. If my child was kidnapped and held for ransome, I wouldn’t want law enforcement to take over my child’s care, but I would want them to find the criminals and prosecute them.
