   Not that we can think of.  But we are back to "we don't know and we can't find   
   out because it's hidden from us.   
      
   I believe that there was much more to Epstein than just Lolita Island.   
      
    AT> Look at Trump. He's been on "Epstein's List" since before 2024, and we   
    AT> still elected him in a landslide.   
      
   But he wasn't on "the list". He was on "a list".  But we are getting into the   
   discussion about someone having their life ruined simply because they did   
   something innocent, but interacted with Epstein.   
      
    AT> If someone less important like Elon   
    AT> Musk turns up "on Epstein's List," what difference would it make?   
      
   Potential charges.  Loss of social trust.  Etc.   
      
   But we need to tread lightly here.  A restaurant, for example, feed many people   
   from many strata of society.  But should it be closed down because a Mafia Don   
   had breakfast there once?

   I am de-Woking my life to the best of my ability.   
      
   A CEO's personal political views won't taint my image of the company he runs.    
   But if he starts steering the company using those political views, then I will   
   drop his product like a hot potato.  Not really to punish the company, but   
   because I know that the product will be enshittified soon, so I need to start   
   looking for a replacement now.   
      
   And it's not just normal people's products.  The Python programming language is   
   dead to be now because of their DEI stance.  Ubuntu has been replaced on my   
   systems with OpenMandriva.  And more.   
      
      
   ... The earth is 98% full. Please delete anyone you can.
