Selbst in der Tiefsee stößt man mittlerweile auf menschliche Abfälle. Das ist wenig überraschend - ganz im Gegensatz zur Menge, die im Calypsotief im Mittelmeer entdeckt wurde.Daniel Lingenhöhl (Spektrum.de)

Trump is now directly firing career federal prosecutors who are investigating people who have donated money to his campaign. This is the most corrupt, dangerous, and venal act he has ever done. He only wants prosecutors who are directly loyal to him.

Saturday Mar 29 Trump fired Adam Schleifer, a long-time financial fraud prosecutor in the Los Angeles U.S. attorney’s office.

Sources: White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor
Adam Schleifer, a longtime financial fraud prosecutor, was dismissed from the U.S. Attorney's office in L.A. on Friday. He was pursuing charges against the former CEO of Fatburger, a Trump supporter, for alleged financial fraud.Brittny Mejia (Los Angeles Times)
From LA Times article:
Another source, a former prosecutor who handled fraud cases in the U.S. attorney’s office and sought anonymity over concerns about facing professional backlash, said he believes Schleifer’s firing is “going to have an incredible chilling effect on any line federal prosecutor who is thinking about criminally investigating or prosecuting an executive of any company of any significance.”
10/11
From LA Times article:
“The message from Adam’s case is that if you’re going to indict some run-of-the-mill CEO of a company, you need to check if he’s a Trump supporter first,” the former prosecutor said. “It’s going to cause line prosecutors to be considerably more careful about pursuing anyone who has even tenuous connections to the president, which is not good for the DOJ.”

in reply to RevK • • •@revk I don’t think there op said anything about summertime.
The time changed, and every device synced to update thanks to NTP. fin
Is there more to the story? Sure. Things are complex. I don’t think your “yes but” was helpful, or necessary.

in reply to jasonkarns • • •@jasonkarns ok the relevance of “today” is surely summer time?
The time, UTC (or NTP) did *not* change from its normal sequence in any way today.
Devices did not sync to the summer time change due to NTP. They stayed right in UTC due to NTP. Very importance and worthy.
Summer time changes are not NTP related.

in reply to jasonkarns • • •@jasonkarns the OP suggested a change of clocks “today” which is the day summer time happens for a lot of the non US northern hemisphere is down to NTP.
It is not. The need to “change clocks” is down to summer time, not NTP.
I am not trying to undermine the importance of NTP.
