See Attached writes: Here is the SQL statement template that will tell us how much money you are saving us. Not the number of bad records for the population :

SELECT
        p.id,
        p.name,
        SUM(pay.amount) AS total_payments
FROM people p
JOIN payments pay ON p.id = pay.person_id
WHERE TIMESTAMPDIFF(YEAR, p.birthdate, CURDATE()) BETWEEN 140 AND 150
GROUP BY p.id, p.name;

You could fix those records by finding their death date or confuse us into thinking old means collecting. Red and blue alike don't want to pay benefits to dead people. Cut the deception. Prosecute the miscreants and yes publish these facts. Not just "red meat" implying Democrats approve of paying benefits to the dead.

CommentScammers can DIAF (Score 1)147

Scammers can go die in a fire.

My phone numbers are on the do not call list. I get robocalls all the time; when I pick up these calls I tell them I'm on the do not call list so I know they're low life scammers (to which rather than disconnecting they start cussing me out, proving my accusation to be true) and invite them to consume copious amounts of strychnine, because suicide is far more honorable than being a fucking scammer and they'll be doing humanity a favor. Alternatively I'll play along and then after a bit I tell them I know they're scammers and while I've kept them tied up in a conversation I've kept them from scamming suckers. Another approach is to read Trumpster/Deplorable racist rants (based on their accent) I have bookmarked, hoping to demoralize them. Blocking their numbers doesn't work due to CID spoofing.

CID spoofing has become a big problem because it's trivially easy (in fact you can do it on most (all?) smartphones). I occasionally get calls from people claiming I called them marketing crap, so obviously someone used my phone # in their CID spoofing. No, I didn't call them. I tell them about caller ID spoofing and how it works but they are usually unconvinced. I end up blocking their numbers so I don't get repeated calls from people who choose to remain aggressively stupid.

CommentConsumer protections were nice while we had them (Score 1)108

If we had an administration which was working for The People rather tha Big Corp and Oligarchs, these companies would be fined big money for each and every individual HIPAA violation, and the fines would be measured at minimum in tens of billions USD.

CommentThe title bar has a purpose (Score 1)362

The title bar has a functional purpose: it's easy to click and grab to move a window around without mistakenly clicking on other UI elements which might modify your document. Sure, on some platforms (X on *nix) you can use a meta key (usually alt) to click anywhere on a window to drag it around but good luck getting Windows (or Mac) users to memorize that.
