I’m with Blots on this, I think legislatures everywhere will find such a database too tempting to leave unmolested and will “for the children” their way into having unfettered access to it once its existence is known.

Between this and the 23&Everyone, is HIPAA just suddenly not a thing any more?

Federal age discrimination law means employers must treat "ok Boomer" the same way they would treat racial discrimination.

As the article explains, federal anti-age discrimination law specifically only protects people over 40. So Millenials and tidepodders are open season.

Xers ain't boomers, and we're still not in charge of anything, either...
(and since "millenial" technically starts in 1981, there's plenty of 36-38 year old millenials right now
)
I'm pretty sure that the age range on this forum skews to late 30s, let's not be too hasty.
I know, I'm 36, I'm very much a millennial that needs to go too.Xers ain't boomers, and we're still not in charge of anything, either...

I'm only 34 so fuck you, boomer
Gen Z kids can run circles around boomers because boomers don't know Gen Z exists.
6 of the 8 deaths in the US due to eating Tide pods were boomers.
As a millennial, I think Gen-Xers should continue what they've been doing for all of history.As a Gen X-er, I think you're ALL idiots.
You know, nothing.
Hey, looks like we don't need to worry about anything. It'll be ok.

Impeachment isn't the only major US political battle going on right now. SCOTUS is hearing a major civil rights case:
I read about that case, but I wish the argument (at least, as presented in this article) didn't sound so stereotypically PC.

AP sources: Epstein jail guards had been offered plea deal
"Federal prosecutors offered a plea deal to two correctional officers responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein on the night of his death, but the officers have declined the offer, people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
"The existence of the plea offer signals the Justice Department is considering criminal charges in connection with the wealthy financier’s death at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York in August. The city’s medical examiner ruled Epstein’s death a suicide. .
"The guards on Epstein’s unit are suspected of failing to check on him every half hour, as required, and of fabricating log entries to show they had. As part of the proposed plea deal, prosecutors wanted the guards to admit they falsified the prison records, according to the people familiar with the matter. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not permitted to publicly discuss the investigation. "
