This Time With Cashews
The casinos that call themselves stock markets are again showing the world why you should not use them for retirement funds. Governments failed to reinstate the regulations that kept them honest and stable so they returned to their bad habits.
While talking about bad habits I might as well point out that although the price of a barrel of oil has dropped below $40/barrel, the price of gasoline has seen no corresponding drop at the pump. Refiners have decided to keep the savings for themselves.

The media are trying to convince people that Bernie Sanders is “angry” because he has large crowds and the owners of said media don’t like what Bernie is saying to those crowds.
The media are also pushing E-Mail-Gate, the latest symptom in Clinton Derangement Syndrome. She keeps telling them that “facts are facts”, but the media don’t understand.
The facts are:
When Clinton was Secretary of State, there was no law, rule, regulation, or policy that required her to have and use a State Department e-mail address; none of the e-mails she sent are being retroactively classified by other agencies; and the e-mails that are being questioned were not tagged as classified, nor does the State Department consider the information they contained classified.
For all those that keep talking about security concerns of using her own mail server, I would point out that information from the most secure servers of the US government is currently at Wikileaks. Then there is the IRS servers and the Office of Personnel Management servers, so talking about the “security of government servers” is silly.

She also deleted 40,000 of her personal emails. Which is somehow a vast crime, even though when the Chimperor left office, his aides deleted millions of their own emails. But INACIYR. Sigh.
She must have deleted more than that or she has one hell of a spam filter, because even I get more than 200 junk e-mails a week on my main address, and then you add in the stuff from vendors I use. 40,000 e-mails for a 4-year period for someone as connected as she always seemed to be is absurdly small. She keeps too many e-mails, and should have pulled them off her server for off-line storage on a regular basis.

yep, full-blown cds.
I have serious doubts that the people making the complaints deal with their own e-mail. Many or most have someone print off messages to them, and then type in responses. Having a single e-mail address for sending and receiving messages is definitely more convenient than trying to keep tract of multiple sites.
My impression is that she was fine with leaving the spam in the spam folder to be archived for all time in the national archives, the 40,000 emails were personal emails to her family and close friends. I.e., emails that would have been illegal to send from a government computer but were perfectly legal to send from her own.
This whole story is being poorly reported, with some people saying she had the server at her office or house in NYC, while the server was actually hosted in Colorado. I couldn’t imagine her maintaining a server. As far as security goes, leaving e-mails on a server connected to the ‘Net is a bad security practice, but required by the new policy for government e-mails.
