I occasionally see job ads in the UK that require US citizenship.

What’s really gonna bake your noodle is that the jug will be less full of you tilt it to the right slightly.

On the one hand, it’s bait.

On the other hand I don’t think the country that has formalised slavery and a culture of policing which views it’s own citizens as prey really has the right to dictate conversation on race relations.

In no other field would such failure be seen as authority. You wouldn’t pick a garage to fix your car because them accidentally destroying the most engines shows they’re experts.

Seven years ago I spent hours trying to explain to my MP that this would happen if they weakened encryption and put in back doors.

He seemingly couldn’t get his head round the fact that you have to assume foreign adversaries have access to everything in transit and they’re not going to be worried about longer prison sentences designed to make up for weaker security.
