One of the most important parts of decision making is looking at the human individual as having value in and of himself; that we are each made in the 'imago Dei'. When pragmatism, progress and cold logic are carried out to their fullest, this is forgotten. People become widgets, means to an end… this is what I fear may get lost, ultimately, if the incoming administration gets caught up in what may start as noble goal, but without the restraining hand of compassion, humility and empathy. There are ditches on either side of the path… the Holy Spirit is an excellent bumper guard to unchecked, sheer drive and determination. I’d hate to be in Musk’s way… Can you see where I am coming from? Praying for those whose physical lives, homes, jobs, and futures were disregarded for the cause of *progress*… whether for a socialist dream (which is always a nightmare), retribution, world domination or ‘UN Smart Cities’.

Thank you. (btw, I cannot *like* the comments… do you know what the problem may be?)

I have had that happen to me before - and I don't know why. Substack can be glitchy on occasion?

Maybe they're just uploading:

posts, comments, names, address, IP Address, color of skin, age, religious beliefs, and type of beverages the folks on your site are into,

all to the blob that watches.

I mean the gathering of information about you to sell to advertisers… but also data collection on citizens in general.

My "likey" is working.

Maybe the fact that I change the oil and filter in my likey button on a regular basis. 3000 miles, or a year. Whichever comes first.

YMMV
