Scott is the son of our cousin, Lynn Ourth, and is active in the Church (when it was the RLDS church). He has attended Graceland University and lives close to Lamoni, Iowa.
He is active in Iowa politics, and hosts events by Democratic hopefuls from the porch of his house. My brother Steve should be getting to know him better, but is not.

My Chromebooks are Down
I have two of the things, that have behaved better than my Windows 10 laptops - until recently. When my newest one keeps giving me a Network Connection Error. But seems to be working normally.
Operating Systems are big buggy things, that are making out lives more difficult. Google's Chrome OS has been working better, but it has got the Virus too.

Meet Maddy
Xamarin Newsletter
Doesn't this sound better than Meet Microsoft? Take a quick look at this gal before you answer. Couldn't Microsoft have done better?
Microsoft is desperate (as they have been for a long time) to improve its image. The guy on the right can do that. But the gal on rhe left is a little bit nutty. Her red dress is enough to set her on fire.
She does have a tough job: being a Software Developer. This isn't something you can fake, but she is trying anyway.

Discord
This has joined the many strange things that are making my life difficult.
I started out with the best of intentions - I saw an ad for a new course on Udemy. Ir was about Microsoft's Power BI. I bought it and started to learn it. Then it said I really should use another app, called Discord, so I could join all the other people taking the Power BI course!
The result was a total mess.
"A total mess? You are saying. Welcome to Reality, where most things are this way - and getting worse!"

My Father stopped having Sex with my Mother
Why? Because she wanted too much of it.
In 1947, when I was 11, we moved to my Mother's hometown of Nauvoo, Illinois. My parents slept in the Master Bedroom upstairs, which had its own fireplace. But then my Father moved downstairs to his office and stayed there.
This was embarrassing to my mother's sister who slept in a double bed and had lots of children by her husband. And also, we can be sure, lots of sex.

The Impact of the Digital Economy on Workers
The first redefinition of what a worker was. was provided by Karl Marx. And adopted by the Soviet Union.
When this ended in 1990, the rest of the world had some hard thinking to do, but this thinking was not too hard, and the US rushed into the Gulf War, and Iraq War instead. And is still involved in Afghanistan.
Meanwhile, the Computer Economy (Apple. Amazon, Google, and Microsoft) were creating a new kind of worker - making Software! And spending billions (not millions) of dollars!
Most workers, however, insisted on doing the same thing - and elected Trump to help them with this.
They are saying (as loudly as they can) "There is no digital economy!"

CFR and the Virus
Council for Foreign Relations
This post is the first in an Asia Unbound series of voices from Asia on the COVID-19 crisis, and on its implications for Asia and for Asian views of the United States.
I am sitting here, in my pajamas, reading about the rest of the world. And I am horrified.
The Human Race is in worse shape than I thought.
