makes total sense as most of these pricks are just there to dispense pills to the highest bidding company. I quit going to the dr because I got fed up with a bottle of pills as a solution to everything.
They see too many patients and most don't give a care for you or the actual problem-not entirely fault of dr as the system is so screwed up after hussein care.
Japan's new Aegis Ashore systems will not be fitted with air defense capabilities
(somebody help me out with why they would not do this)
JIJI
U.S.-developed Aegis Ashore land-based missile interceptor systems, when introduced by Japan, will not have Cooperative Engagement Capability equipment for air defense, it was learned late Saturday.
The CEC equipment enables early-warning planes, Aegis destroyers and others to share positional data on enemy aircraft, cruise missiles and other targets of interception, leading to greater interceptor ranges and quicker responses to threats.
Without CEC, Aegis Ashore systems for Japan will be designed solely for defense against ballistic missiles, not capable of defense against warplanes or cruise missiles, informed sources said.
Installing the CEC equipment may be considered in the future as it is a desirable feature, but there is no plan to do it at the moment, a source familiar with the matter said.
Another source said the CEC equipment would cause additional costs of tens of billions of yen.
In terms of cost effectiveness, the Japanese government plans to use existing Aegis destroyers and surface-to-air missiles to deal with attacks on Aegis Ashore units and nearby targets, the source said.
The government is looking to deploy Aegis Ashore units in Akita and Yamaguchi prefectures. Both face the Sea of Japan, which separates the country from the Korean Peninsula.
The envisioned Aegis Ashore units were initially expected to include CEC equipment.
A U.S. military source questioned the Japanese plan to limit the use of Aegis Ashore systems at least initially to ballistic missile defense, claiming that it is necessary for Japan to not just respond to the threat of North Korean ballistic missiles but also strengthen its air defense capability to address threats from China.

U.K. Moves to End 'Self-Regulation' for Tech Firms
(fucking FINALLY someone has some brians in gov't re tech regs)
The U.K. government plans to create a new regulatory body to force the removal of harmful content from the internet, one of the most far-reaching legislative proposals from a host of countries trying to put a tighter leash on global technology companies.
The U.K. proposal, disclosed in a policy paper published early Monday local time, aims to create a new legal obligation for companies including Facebook Inc. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google to take "reasonable and proportionate" action on a wide gamut of illegal or potentially harmful content published on their platforms, ranging from terrorist propaganda to cyberbullying and disinformation.
The government said the new regulator would be armed with powers to enforce compliance, including potentially the power to issue civil fines for demonstrated failures in some areas. It said that issue would be refined in coming months through consultations on an eventual law.
The U.K.'s proposal comes amid renewed momentum from governments – from Australia and New Zealand to the European Union – to force companies to take more responsibility for the content they disseminate, from pirated music to extremist manifestos. Those calls have grown since allegations that Russia abused social-media tools to inject polarizing disinformation into the 2016 U.S. presidential election – and were amplified after last month's terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which the attacker broadcast live over Facebook.
The new proposals and laws represent a shift from an older model, where companies have often remained protected by generation-old rules that shield them from liability for content their users disseminate. Companies generally have signed on to voluntary measures to curb the spread of illicit content, but increasingly face legal obligations, too.
Germany, for instance, last year implemented a law that threatens up to EUR50 million ($56 million) in fines for companies that systematically fail to remove hate speech.
"The era of self-regulation for online companies is over," said Jeremy Wright, the U.K.'s digital secretary. "Voluntary actions from industry to tackle online harms have not been applied consistently or gone far enough."
Big tech companies say they already work hard to remove illicit and harmful content, , and increasingly use automated artificial-intelligence tools to do so. While tech executives increasingly say they also embrace regulation, TechUK, a lobby group for firms including Facebook, Google, Amazon.com Inc. and Apple Inc., said that the U.K. proposal would need to become more specific to avoid subjecting companies to uncertainty. "Not all of the legitimate concerns about online harms can be addressed through regulation," the group said.
Facebook said that it supports new internet regulations, and plans to work with the U.K. government and parliament to help shape the rules. But the company also raised what has often been a tense issue for tech companies facing content restrictions: how to balance the removal of potentially harmful postings with Silicon Valley's more general embrace of free speech and free enterprise.
"New rules for the internet should protect society from harm while also supporting innovation, the digital economy and freedom of speech," said Rebecca Stimson, Facebook's head of U.K. public policy. "These are complex issues to get right."
How to police internet content is one of several topics in a broader debate over how governments should exercise control over big technology companies whose products are woven deeply into millions of businesses and billions of individuals' daily lives.
