    I don’t want to do the standard West Coast stump. Can we pepper it with some pro-tech language?

    Sure. Do you want pro-business tech or tech and government?

    Both are equal. New one from CNN says there’s doubt about your tech savvy in key demos.

    It’s because of the fucking fax machine emails. When we were erasing everything why didn’t we get those too? Thousands of messages released and half of them are about that motherfucking fax machine never working. Makes me look like Grandma.

    The fact that we are using a fax machine at all dates us as an org.

    Fuck him. Turncoat. I don’t want to hear that nerd’s name again. I never asked shit from him. He dicked around on his phone all day and got paid. Never once helped when the email was down. Ask him for one little lie to one House Select Committee and he pleads the fifth like a slimy bitch.

    How about:

    How about:

    “Encryption is a growing concern in this industry and in our country. Like you, I want to keep my private life private. But as the former secretary of state, I know about the digital risks we face from foreign and domestic cyber criminals. There has to be an agreement from tech companies to work with government to ensure our safety as well as our privacy.”

    Very poor response to when you said:

    “Many Americans are making extra money renting out a spare room, designing websites, selling products they design themselves at home. This on-demand or so-called gig economy is creating exciting opportunities and unleashing innovation, but it’s also raising hard questions about workplace protections and what a good job will look like in the future.”

    Also, nobody really bought the whole “tech and government Manhattan Project” bit.

    Not entirely sure. Think it’s like a blog repository but anybody can write there? It’s like reading the comments section of a NYT article if every comment were at least 1,000 words long.
