It's true.
Everything's behind pay walls, but it's true...no paid sick leave for me or for you.

Nevada anti-abortion license plates discontinued due to lack of demand
https://www.nevadacurrent.com/blog/nevadas-anti-abortion-license-plate-discontinued-after-lack-of-support/The Values Life specialty license plate debuted in July 2018 and had until Dec. 31, 2019 to receive 3,000 active registrations. It fell short of that quota.
According to a DMV spokesperson, 2,005 of the specialty were plates were registered by the midnight deadline.
The plate was a fundraising project of the Womens Resource Medical Centers of Southern Nevada, which describes its mission as helping save the lives of unborn children by sharing the love of Jesus Christ through spiritual, physical, emotional and educational support to our clients. The center explicitly states it does not recommend, provide or refer for abortions.

We need to make our government child-proof
https://www.nevadacurrent.com/2019/12/31/real-rush-of-trump-rules-expected-ahead-of-2020-election/With the November presidential election approaching, the administration is widely expected to make a push to wrap up pending regulations early in 2020 in an effort to bolster those rules against a possible Democratic administration that may seek to unravel Trumps policies.
With the help of the GOP-led Congress, the administration effectively torpedoed a slew of Obama-era regulations. After Trumps inauguration, GOP lawmakers used the Congressional Review Act to overturn 16 Obama rules, according to the Center for Progressive Reform. That law had been used only once before that, when the George W. Bush administration overturned a Clinton-era rule dealing with workplace safety.
Regulatory experts predict the administration is working hard behind the scenes to ensure that their own policies arent as vulnerable. Trumps roadmap was laid out in a recent regulatory timeline, which estimates the dates for finalizing federal agencies rules.
As the next election approaches, the carpet-baggers and monkey-wrenchers are laying waste to our government. Everything we have struggled for is at risk. If Dems lose this election we will likly see uranium mines in the Grand Canyon and advertisements for Trump golf courses on the moon guarded by U.S. Space Forces (insert your own comic cartoon music here).
Just as we all learned to make our homes child-proof, we now must learn to do the same for our government.
Please vote.

Almost all of the 2020 candidates are using bad email security practices
Was listening the BBC World News on NPR at work last night and heard this story...
It seems political candidates have yet to learn from the mistakes of the past.
It is our full expectation that the cyber attacks against the 2020 U.S. presidential candidates will be more aggressive than weve seen before because these attackers continue to move away from content-based techniques and towards identity-based attacks, which many cybersecurity technologies cannot detect, said Armen Najarian, Agaris Chief Marketing Officer.
The research by Agari found that only 4 out of the 13 presidential candidates were employing the REJECT policy in DMARC; this meant that remaining 9 candidates supporters and donors were now vulnerable to phishing attacks. Also, it was found that advanced email security measures such as Advanced Threat Protection and Secure Email Gateways for both Google Suite and Microsoft office 365 werent being implemented by the candidates.

A numismatic question for DUers
Came upon this coin...it looks to me like a Georgia commemorative quarter has been powerfully impacted by a Connecticut commemorative quarter. Can't say for sure whether it might have occurred in the mint or afterward. Anyone got any ideas?
