Californication: Home Depot Looks To Withdraw From Indefensible Oakland Location
Home Depot is considering the closure of their stores in Oakland and Emeryville California over the failure of the locals to contain blight including homeless encampments abutting the perimeter of their stores (archived). The Oakland store generates approximately 8 million USD in sales taxes annually for the city government by Oakland's own reporting. Last year a propane tank explosion rocked the encampment yet its presence persists (archived). A letter sent by a regional executive of the chain cited persistent theft and safety hazards as problems affecting the location.

US Prepares To Tackle Illegal Immigration… With Facial Recognition Wank For Folks LEAVING The US
As progress on Trump's wall is slowed due to his captiulation on budgeting, US airlines are being compelled to engage in facial recognition scans for departing passengers in the name of combatting illegal immigration (archived).

MBA Grad Takes Revenge On Alma Mater's Computers With USB Device
Vishwanath Akuthota, a 2017 MBA graduate of the College of Saint Rose in Albany returned to the school this February to bring his vengance to the school's computers (archived). Akuthota used a commercially available USB Killer device to fuck some shit up as he filmed himself using the device. The device took the 5 volt USB power output to charge its reserves and then delivered a -220 volt discharge, repeatedly. This attack vector works on any device too lazily and cheaply engineered to include surge protection for both positive and negative voltages built into the USB ports.
Akuthota is allege to have caused ~60,000 USD in damage.
Committed To Form: Tripoli Issues Arrest Warrant For Apparent De Facto Sovereign Haftar
The US/UN backed "government" in Tripoli has issued an arrest warrant for leader Khalifa Haftar who has lead a campaign capturing much of the country (archived). Haftar's forces have kept the "Government of National Accord" in Tripoli under fire for the past two weeks. Six of Haftar's officers have had arrest warrants issued for launching airstrikes at "government" positions. Issuing arrest warrants in the face of airstrikes and an active seige demonstrates a strong committment to Pantsuitist form on the part of the National Accordist government as well as a lack of… actual national accord.
