    “A Death at Walmart”

    “Janikka Perry never made it home from her shift at the bakery of a supercenter in Arkansas. She was one of many Walmart workers who have been pressured to work through illness or pain, sometimes with devastating consequences.”

    “SFPD put rape victims’ DNA into database used to find criminals, DA alleges”

    From the comments:

    And this is why people (me at least) don’t want all encompassing data collection.

    If the police have the data, absent some law protecting it (sometimes even if it does!) they WILL use it.

    Hell, someone was probably just trying to make their job easier. “Well we got some DNA evidence from the crime scene. What DNA databases do we have other than criminals? Let’s run it through those, maybe we will get a hit.”

    Doesn’t make it ethical or okay.

    “What’s spreading faster than coronavirus in the US? Racist assaults and ignorant attacks against Asians”

    ZOMG I reported some dude on Nextdoor a while ago who made inflammatory remarks towards China, Chinese people and anything that comes out of China. 😩 All because the virus originated from China.

    Folks, we dealt with this after the WTC attack on Sept. 11, 2001 when Middle Easterners were all thought to be terrorists just because SOME people did something bad and they happened to look like these people. And waaaay back when Pearl Harbor was attacked during WWII when Japanese Americans were interned. We don’t need to do this again. Please.

    Sometimes the most devastating hits are financial. At many Chinese restaurants, income has been decimated.
