    I've experienced many earthquakes in my lifetime including a 7.1 and a 7.5. Videos taken during the quake in Bangkok definitely indicate more than a shiver.

    During my lifetime I've experienced a number of big earthquakes on the island of Hawaii. The scariest was a 7.7 that generated a local tsunami close to 50 feet high. Luckily only 2 fatalities from the tsunami. The seashore close to the epicenter subsided 12 feet. Years later I went fishing in the area where former cliffs were now at sea level.

    One of my best friends in Thailand is a retired project manager. I've been on his job sites and watched him in action. He would not allow any deviation from the construction plans. However, I would say he is the exception rather tan the rule.

    Buildings are not designed for slabs to carry the weight of collapsed columns and beams.

    Poured concrete reaches 70 to 90 percent of its strength during the first 7 to 21 days. I wouldn't rely on windows for added strength.

    Just because the information was not acted upon does not excuse the breech of security. Why do you think Hillary Clinton destroyed her cellphone and other incriminating evidence? Because she violated the rules. Convenience never trumps security.

    Too big to fail? Heard that one before.

    It is. But the argument might go like this. If it were designed properly it would have withstood the earthquake. The question is who would buy that argument.

    "unless the collapse resulted from the employer's fault," will be the issue. The contractor will argue "poor design" was the cause. Either this will dispute will go on and on or the contractor will declare bankruptcy.

    While in Navy boot camp in 1957 I told another recruit that Hawaii was bigger than Rhode Island. He said, "What island is that?"

    Exactly. Official business has no business being discussed on private networks, classified or not.
  12. Hawaiian
    Anyone with an ounce of intelligence knows that it SHOULD HAVE been classified.

    It happened on his watch.

    Technology is wonderful as long as there are no glitches or breakdowns. Hackers and cyber criminals are becoming more sophisticated and attacks are occurring more often.

    Here's one explanation for all these centenarians. https://www.zdnet.com/article/if-cobol-is-so-problematic-why-does-the-us-government-still-use-it/

    For various nefarious reasons like identity theft. Did you not pay attention to Tom Homan?

    What proof do you have that the system was vulnerable? Hackers have breached some of the most sophisticated websites. No one's information is completely secure. AI will only make the situation worse.

    I no expert either. But why is it necessary to punish recipients in order to curb fraud by illegals? Surely there must be a better way.

    It is pretty simple, either agree with my flawed logic or you don't.

    ve Every day 10,000 Americans turn 65. Cutting staff is definitely going to reduce the quality of service. Only brilliant people, not simpletons, can figure out where the middle is.

    Would you be satisfied if they were facts and statistics from government websites? What about right-leaning media outlets?
  22. Hawaiian
    If you did not furnish a link there would be complaints of no evidence. Some people are not satisfied no matter what.

    If this administration was serious about reducing the national debt they would be closing all the loopholes in the tax code. It is a fallacy that tax cuts lead to increased revenues.

    What source of information are you relying on for the truth? Those responsible will deny, deny, deny. They will lock and block .
