Lawfar Media has an article about whether the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution applies to Musk. I wish a broader question would be asked. If the founders thought a quid pro quo relationship with U.S officials were bad, why is that relationship worse with foreign states than domestically? In my opinion, these domestic relationships, which include lobbying, are equally bad. Given how much money it takes to win an office, the dependency and consequences are worse! Of course, one cannot have this discussion with fundamentalists.#

Today is the first day of the NCAA men's basketball tournament and the first time I have been able to use the new Xfinity set top box for watching this type of sporting event in which multiple games are occurring at the same time. I am using Xfinity's Sports Zone app and it helps, but I really wish it would provide a way to show multiple games simultaneously like I can with the ESPN app. Looks like this might be possible in some areas but this multiview function doesn't work for me.#

I am pretty sure my Xfinity "cable TV" is actually Internet streaming via this set top rather "traditional" cable TV signal. I see too many occurrences of what I think is buffering that I never saw with traditional cable TV. I got this set top box because the prior one died and while it adds new features it is really slow. #
