Want to find the money? Increase the ability of the IRS to perform more audits. The richest folks are already not paying the taxes they should be. $688 billion per year!
Security risk is the bigger concern IMHO. These devices are often a security weak point for networks. Putting them on their own wifi network and then isolating that network is critical.

Hear me out: If the GOP could just, I don't know, at least talk to the other 49% of the House, they may be able to get at least some of the things they want.

This partnership certainly has it's ups and downs. But this is what happens when the health system forgets that it is a partnership.
NPR has selected former Wikimedia Foundation chief Katherine Maher to lead the network through an era of declining broadcast listenership, financial uncertainty and technological turbulence.

The wheels of democracy turn slowly, but they do turn. Should it have gotten anywhere close to this far? Hell no. But this does bring me some very very cautious optimism.
Quasars are the supermassive black holes at the centres of early galaxies. Scientists have unlocked their secrets to use them as ‘clocks’ to measure time near the beginning of the universe.
I'm new to Kbin. Since the platform is under development, I am curious if there has been any discussion around feed duplicates?
