Prez Trump's $60bn China tariff plan to hit tech, communications, aerospace industries

phantomsteve

What, no clothes...?

Not surprisingly, The Dump doesn't want a tariff on clothing.... anyone would think that he doesn't have clothing lines made in China (or his daughter)...

Of course, silly me... why would he have things made in China when he criticises tech companies for not making in the US... only a really hypocritical person would do that!

Imagine every mistake you can make with a new software rollout...

Wouldn't it be a shame if the CIO was 'accidentally' entered into the system as a sex offender....

Amazon adds 5,000 warehouse workers in the US

phantomsteve

A short-term solution, I'm guessing

Place your bets... how long until most of those 5,000 have been dismissed either because of misconduct, or because they have "failed" their probation period....?

Police told to use Wikipedia for court preparation

phantomsteve

Inadvisable....

I'm a user and editor of Wikipedia, and find it useful - but if the CPS told me to use it to find information, I'd certainly look at it, then go to the citations given, check those out, and if they were reliable perhaps use that - but I wouldn't use wikipedia itself.

If I was on trial (whether guilty or not), and found out that wikipedia was used, I'd be able to quickly get the evidence thrown out of court!
