So, today's topic is promises and gov/corp entities that give them. If such an entity was a human, it would be a schizophrenic because of the revolving door in such entities.


>“I said we’d like that to stop. The police responded that it’s lawful under the law. We can’t not do things that are lawful under the law,”

What is lucky is that anyone naive enough to actually believe that info was not going to be accessed definitely has nothing to hide.


Absolutely abysmal.


But not exactly surprising.
