       Director Jenna Sherman, of the UltraViolet Campaign, announces that her organization has collected over 15,000 signatures in its petition drive to remove artificially intelligence-controlled license plate readers from the premises of Ulta Beauty stores for the threat that they pose to gender justice. 

       NOTE: If Ulta Beauty customers are concerned about the threat to their privacy by ALPR cameras they need only to boycott UB and shop elsewhere.

       While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Scott K.H. Bessent, secretary of the treasury, speaking at Southern Methodist University (texas), says his strategy for dealing with the insurmountable national debt is to “grow our way out of debt.”

       NOTE: “Growing our way out of debt” is a euphuism for accelerating inflation (depreciation of the “dollar).”
